      I would say it's a toss up writing this review! You have to know the kinda place you are going to before you are going! There are a ton of bad reviews here and I don't think it's a bad bar! But if you think you are having a nice sit down dinner and drink and show up here you are obviously going to be very disappointed!

      This place is solely made to drink lots and get drunk, take shots from the shot girls, get bumped into and be in a party crowd of young people! If you are looking for or expecting anything nicer keep moving on down the street! This is a loud bar with a very busy crowd! Bouncers always walking through clearing paths for the drink girls! I've truthfully never even sat down while being here!

      So that being said it is hard to sometimes get a drink unless you push yourself to the bar. There is sometimes a cover to get in being it's such a packed bar! But that also means it can be a very fun bar depending on your vibe and the night you are looking to have!

      I've had some of the best nights at this bar ! Me and my friends come here after work all the time. Always get served right away ! Lauren is amazing ! She was my server last time and she didn't miss a beat ! This is a great Irish bar for holidays it's always going to be packed but again know what you're looking for. Don't expect to be a fancy bar this place is really a great time for people who love karaoke and great Beer !

      Don't come here on a Monday night. They have some awful running club that is obnoxious and rude that comes every week. The management doesn't care and doesn't try to control these runners.

      Went to Rock n Rides to go see some live music and enjoy a maskless beautiful day. The band I went to see was the Corktown Popes(great band). So we decided to sit at O'Tooles outside seating and have some beer and a burger. We started with the pretzel sticks. Nice soft inside solid crust and salted perfectly. The cheese sauce was very good. I had three different beers all craft two really good one was ok. Great Lakes lemon Hefeweizen was really good and so was the North Coast Scrimshaw. The ok beer was One Well state of bean. The burger was good cooked to order with the usual condiments with it. The fries were steak fries nice and crisp. Our server Brooklyn was fantastic very patient with us sitting there for a couple of hours watching the bands and drinking some beers.

      The waitstaff is the reason I come to this fine establishment. The beers selection is great but the staff is where the action is

      This used to be a fun spot, less big in size than some neighboring bars. Food is average.

      Drinks are standard.

      Most of the bars here have their regular crowds. It seems this and many others have lost the bulk of their crowds.

      I remember coming here and having to wait outside. I don't see the lines as much anymore. The last get times I have been here, the place was barely half full on a late week night.

      Where did all of the bar crowds go? Used to come here more often but then we all got too busy with life, it happens.

      They wanted to charge $10 just to get in!! No live music was even playing. To charge money to walk in and pay more money to buy a drink is ridiculous. The atmosphere is not amazing enough to charge just to walk into the place.
