I work at a lab at UBC and a couple of my coworkers would often go to this Irish Pub, which is located on Broadway near Alma, for beers. Being a non-drinker, I've never been particularly interested in checking this place out until I learned that they apparently also carry a rather extensive menu filled with classic comfort/pub food that one of my coworkers claimed was delicious. I decided to finally check this place out during lunch time, when it was still relatively empty. I ordered a 1/2 Order of their Beer Battered Cod and Chips and Homestyle Meatloaf. Both of the dishes were delicious and pretty reasonably priced. Service-wise, the waitress I had was relatively friendly but a bit slow; I can't really blame her though since she was the only person present and there were several tables that she had to manage. All in all, while I can't say anything about their drinks, the food here is tasty and definitely worth visiting for alone.

Beer Battered Cod and Chips, 1/2 Order ($11):
4/5
This came served with a side of tartare sauce. The batter on the fish (which is pacific cod) is wonderfully crispy. The quality of the fish was not the greatest - I did find the texture to be a tad mushy, but not fishy. I really enjoyed the fries, which were again wonderfully crispy while having a somewhat starchy interior. The tartar sauce was wonderfully thick and tangy.

Homestyle Meatloaf ($19):
4/5
This came served with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The meatloaf was tender and well-seasoned, and had a nice sweet glaze. The potatoes were well-seasoned and quite smooth and creamy. The vegetables, which consisted of zucchini and carrots, were simple and nothing to write home about, but well-cooked and not overly bland.

Summary:

Nice Pub. Enjoyed the Shepherds Pie and a pint of ale, good service and nice atmosphere. Definitely will come back!
