About:This converted bank makes you think every bank should have a bar in it. There is an excellent list of Irish beers on tap, including Murphy's Stout, Caffrey's and Harp. A massive stone fireplace at one end of the room is ringed with cozy chairs and side tables. On Sundays, an Irish band sits by the fireside and jams on traditional tunes. It's a good spot for brunch on Sundays or a drink on rainy afternoons. The food is modern Irish fare, a nouvelle cuisine that sheds any old stereotypes of Irish cooking. There's a very light seafood chowder.
Hours:Lunch & Dinner daily, Brunch Sun.

    Great atmosphere. The bartenders are friendly and a well-oiled machine. The food is surprisingly unique and non-Irish pub like. Very good. Nice variety. I do wish they had a cider of somekind on tap, although they had some fun fall drink specials.

    Great atmosphere, good food!: Love this place. The atmosphere is great, love the conversation tables. Food is very good. A small slice of Ireland in Old City Philly. A traditional Irish pub.
