“Lively in the evening. Food coming out of the kitchen looked good. The mixed crowd from old Irish men yelling over a game of pool to young travellers. There was a fantastic musician playing Monday night! The bloke was Irish and played the flute, a pipe, drum, guitar, and sang a bunch of Irish songs. It was fantastic!” –Connie C.
