On our way to Chicago, our favorite Son, Sean, suggested to stop at this Irish Pub for dinner & an overnight stay at The Hampton Inn. The Inn was the cleanest place we have ever stayed in & the bed & pillows the best ever – Mrs. Q wishes she had that mattress & pillows at her house.
The Pub was awesome. The service/drinks/food & the ambiance was outstanding.

The Q-tips shared:Irish Stew & the other half also had soup. Our usual drinks: Old Fashion & Perfect Manhattan.
In the heat of summer, Sonya and her Uncle Vanya wile away their days on a crumbling estate deep in the countryside, until Sonya’s father suddenly returns with his new alluring wife, declaring his intention to sell the house.
Q-tips say: Was good. Mr. Q enjoyed it more than Mrs. Q.
5/4/26- – What a disaster – they said they sent out an email that the Kitchen had a problem so there was no warm dishes, but we never received an email. You can make your own sandwiches with cold cuts.

OK- Various Meat to build your tacos – Turkey/Ham/Beef with soft shell tacos & Chips. Various toppings & salad choices.

We will stick with Wings & Slider Madness. Perhaps Pasta Night.Subs & More Madness was just so so – way too much bread.
Mrs. Q had: Taco/Nacho Madness. ok
The Q-tips say: Munchie Madness was nothing special.Everything was breaded & fried. Because of the breading, & no signs posting what it is, was difficult to know was in the pot. We had our usual Libations. Ordered off the Reg. Menu instead MUNCHIE MADNESS.
Pizza Madness?? ?Maybe. Taco madness? ??The meat- beef/chicken was good but many just piled the food on the dishes instead of tacos.
Cannot orderfrom the regular menuanymore on Monday Madness.
