Went there the other day for lunch. It's a little dingy on the inside so my expectations were low, but the food was actually good. I had the pulled pork, it had a sizable amount of meat. My friend had the chicken quesadilla. The salsa was spicy - bartender told us they made it fresh, which was surprising especially considering they're an Irish bar (??). Service was unintrusive, fine. I'd go back again.

Pros: Good food, fair selection of beers on tap

Cons: Smoking still allowed

We like Biddy's on a Sunday night. It is a nice pub and the food is always good. The art work is Irish Republican but I could care less. I don't think the owners care. I don't think they are Irish. As a side note, I never have seen Sein Finn posters in the Republic of Ireland pubs and bars. I think the interior reflects much of what I have seen in Ireland. The music is grand. Seems to get a good support from the Irish community on Sunday nights. If I were to improve the pub it would be to get a more charismatic bartender. This is the opinion of my Irish friends and myself.

Pros: nice atmosphere, irish music on sunday nights

Cons: cool to chilly bartender

My opinion?,.....Offensive atmosphere. Not at all impressed by the Sinn Fein and IRA memorabilia at the place. I will NOT in any way put money into the coffers of anyone who supports or is otherwise impressed with murderers or terrorists. To bad. People might equate this kind of thing with what it means to be Irish. I call it disgraceful.

Pros: Nothing to ofset the cons

Cons: IRA/Sinn Fein admirers

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Great place for an after work stop, kind of an old world true Irish bar you would find in Ireland. Its in a neighborhood setting and I found that they have a pretty good menu. One of my favorite places to pop in, once or twice a week. Keep it up. cheers :)

Pros: easy to get to, great for large parties, quick food service, and friendly people.

Cons: bar stools need a fixing

If you like a place to inhale someone elses smoke and gaze at faded republican memorabilia from Northern Ireland then this is your spot. Could do with a major facelift and a smoking ban. Decent Irish session on Sunday's and good Guiness though.....
