Sunday Night Bar Review

Sunday Night Bar Review

Valet parking is limited and stacked within the lot. Street parking's available, but watch for the streets that requires residential permits. No Happy Hour, hopefully that will change in the near future.

Big Island bar area with 3 small booths (fits a party of 4) at the end. Reservation seems difficult to honor where we made a 6pm reservation where the party didn't get situated till 8pm. There's fault on both sides, but a two hour difference seems a bit extreme. Luckily, Tom Bergin's cares about their customer service and provided some appetizers for us during our wait.

There are plenty of variety of whiskey here that average out about $8 for a glass of neat. The cocktail average out about $10-12. The most famous drink here is their Irish Coffee; didn't get it since I'm not a big coffee drinker. What I did try was their Cooper Union, QUALITY and worth the $12. The drink includes: Red Breast, St Germaine, Orange Blossom, Islay Scotch. It's easy to sip even for a non-whiskey drinkers.

Fish and Chips: 4 star - 3 piece of crispy fried fish on top of a basket of thick fries. The fish tasted fresh and the fries were crisp...flavor and texture was in this order making it one of the best fish and chips I had in Los Angeles.

Shepard's Pie/Mushroom Pie: I ordered both pies, which was quite similar. One was with chunks of beef and the other one was with mushroom. The dish was more soupy than expected and quite small. Imagine a soup with either beef or soup and topped off with a thick layer of mashed potatoes. (3-stars)

Guiness Float: Sorta gross since the ice cream tasted bitter and old. The dessert drink came in a small taster glass. It wasn't expensive ($5). (1 star)

Coconut Cream Pie: Out of the ball park good and I don't even like coconut (5-star). The cream and the crunchy flakes of coconut was a great balance along with the tasty crust. Enough to share, get it!

Bread Pudding: Tasted overcooked...the pudding was dry and lacked creaminess. Wasn't impressed (2-stars)

Vibe: Crowd is from late 20s to 50s, a good mix. Very Casual and what you imagine what an Irish bar would be like; background music and 3 bartenders on a Sunday night. Overall, food had some hits and misses--service (3 1/2 stars). Till next time I crave for some Fish N' Chips!
