Three Irish Bars all in one.  Gallagher’s, Duffy, and Foy.  We went to celebrate several friends birthdays.  None of us had ever been there but how do you go wrong with three bars.  The group met, had a few beers at the bar.  Got a table, ordered food, shots, and a few more rounds. 
I couldn’t decide between the Guinness stew and the shepherds pie.  The bar tender (a vegetarian) said if she ate meat she would go for the Guinness pot roast.  She was right.  The stew was amazing.  Beef fork tender, lean, full of flavor, it tasted even better than it smelled.  The carrots where cooked through but still crunchy.  With a side of perfect colcannon mashed potatoes I ate my fill and then ate some more.
The Rueben rolls are a great appetizer.  A friend had the strawberry pecan salad with goat cheese.  It looked amazing.  I didn’t try it but I heard no complaints. After all who can complain with a place that has a pint of Guinness listed as an appetizer.  Of course there are potato skins for the traditionalist.  And a vegetable / hummus platter if you want a lighter side.  None of us had room for dessert.
The beer list is quite long. No one should have a problem  finding to suit them, though I would not say it is impressive.  There is Magners on draft, one of the few places outside of Ireland that actually carries it.  Bonus that its on draft.   The Irish whisky list is great.  They even serve it with a side of ice so you control the ice, water, whisky ratio.
It was a great evening among friends in a great atmosphere. Good drinks and good food.  The only complaint would be the service.  We were one of a few tables in the place.  There was plenty of bar tenders but no wait staff.  We had to order our food and drinks at the bar.   We would have stayed longer and had a few more rounds but after bussing our own table it was time to go.

Still the place is highly recommended on my list.  Just don’t expect great service, but do expect a great time.
