“Chicago style Irish pub with great drink selection. Snuck in for a party and found a busy bar, with sports playing across the walls and my favorite ciders being served. Apparently they're super accommodating for parties, just give em a number and they'll make it work. And they coat their tenders in cornflakes, iykyk.”

“Great place to have a private party- they do wristband specials. The upper private area is fun and clean and has a cool view of all the rest of the bar. We had our engagement party here and Charlie was our bartender. He is great and made everyone feel special and got the drinks out fast. Managers Carly and Dave took great care of us also getting all the details worked out so it was a super smooth and fun night!”

“The waitress seemed irritated simply at our presence as soon as we arrived. Also the wings were served cold, tasted like they honestly came right out of the freezer and were microwaved.”

“Extremely poor service from a bartender who was short-tempered, condescending, and seemingly upset that we were trying to spend money at her place of employment. The simple act of moving tables to another area of the bar, to avoid getting blasted by cold air every time the door opened, was met with the snarky comment of "you know, you moved to a table that was smaller than the first one". This then led to pushback about our 4-person party sitting at a table meant for 8 people, which this bartender wanted to save for larger parties (at this time, the building was at maybe 25% capacity). Finally, when she stormed off after a member of our party didn't order a drink fast enough (she gave him about 5 seconds), we left some cash on the table and left. For the record, we went straight to Happy Camper across the street, and it was a wonderful experience. Our server there was attentive, positive, friendly, and when she found out it was a member of our party's birthday, treated us to a round of drinks and a T-shirt for the birthday boy. My friend group used to visit Declan's regularly for Taco Tuesdays. It was a casual, welcoming place with good food and prompt service for an affordable price. After the disrespect we were shown for seemingly no reason by this server, I don't see any reason to ever visit this place again.”
