Stopped in one night just for a quick peek and was given a tour of one of the most intimate yet diverse restaurants I have seen in Houston the bartender Tiffany even though I did not order anything serve me with a smile while she demonstrated the amount of care that this place is apparently known for I would recommend this restaurants / pub and grill to everyone and anyone who likes live music

First time visit. Cons: This place needs to clean it's beer lines. The Guinness was okay, but two of the other beers sucked. They had that funky bacterial taste. The small group playing traditional Irish music was good, but in a full room with no microphones & speakers, it wasn't as enjoyable as it could have been. Finally the place seemed a little dirty. Pros: This is a neat, tucked away little bar with a great vibe. The food offerings are what you would expect from an Irish bar and they looked and smelled great (though I, myself did not eat - see my last comment in Cons). It's one of the few places you can hea tradional Irish music in Houston and, despite the very low volume, it was quite a treat. Overall: I am assuming I caught them on an off night. So, I'll definitely be back.

Saw Guy Forsythe here. Food, drinks, and entertainment were all top notch. Can't recommend this place enough.

Mike | Sep 28, 2020

Not for the patio, but you need tickets for the shows. They also have standing room tickets for the bar area which are cheaper. You can also eat on the patio without having to purchase tickets for the shows. The food is phenomenal.

I have tickets for the dinner and show tonight. Are we guaranteed a table and can we be seated earlier?

Gina Dusterhoft | Sep 29, 2019
Jason Kaw | Sep 29, 2019

Yes a ticket guarantees you a seat of the managers choice. They usually put names on tables based on party size

Is there any seating at the Bar available for the Tom Russel show May 11 2019? Would like to purchase 4 tickets for the 7:00 show and plan on dining. Thanks for your consideration in this matter. Trish Nolan

Hey Trish please call MD ASAP

For the open Mic night is there a drum set provided?

Matthew Schunneman | Sep 29, 2019
McGonigel's Mucky Duck | Sep 29, 2019

Hey Matthew, Sorry, no drum set provided, but you are welcome to come early and set yours up. We are open all day on Monday and Open Mic sign up starts at 6.

If I wanted to eat food at 5 pm and there is a show at 7, would I need to pay cover for the 7 pm show? In this example I only want to eat and not see the show. Thanks in advance

Evan Mulfinger | Sep 29, 2019
McGonigel's Mucky Duck | Sep 29, 2019

Hi Evan. We are open from 11am for lunch and often have guests come for late lunch. On show days (every day but Mondays and Wednesdays) our tables are reserved for guests who are attending the shows. We do, however, have a lovely deck and dinner is often served on our patio for guests who want to enjoy a meal without paying for the show. As for arriving at 5PM for dinner before a 7PM show, that would be fine as long as you wouldn't mind dinner at the bar. Often our guests arrive as much as two hours early for their show tickets. Hope this wordy answer had helped to answer your question!

Well, it's supposed to be a family friendly night. But in all fairness most of us have cable channels far worse in adult content. I say it's all good for the most part. Great place, good people
