Ever imagined what an Irish pub looks like in the USA? Here it is. Overpriced and not in the least authentic. Food is not bad though.[...]
Well, I think your older review was more fair, because it looked at the character of the place as more charming in its nastiness than just plain awful. I spent many of my evenings there when I was on a Fulbright Lectureship in 07/08 and had many go[...]
The owner played for Widzew Lodz along with Boniek and Smolarek. There even a team picture on the wall. The owner is very friendly and its a real football pub. Definitely recommended. Its located not too far from the Lodzki Galeria on Ulica Pilsudsk[...]
