Had a nice time on the patio. I liked the new atmosphere out there and how we could play bean bags. It was a great crowd for a Thursday night!

Me and four of my girlfriends went to Sam Maguires and it was by far the worst experience I have ever had in a bar. The female bartenders only served males and after 20 minutes of waiting for a beer we gave up and vowed never to return. They do not seem to have any idea how to actually bartend there and I could do without bartenders who only think that they will get tips from men. Big mistake on their part, I will make sure to let everyone that I know not to go there.

Have been here a few times in the past and unfortunately, this place has gone downhill on food quality and service. Place was nearly empty on a weekday evening. Food was bland and not even fully heated through. Two servers couldn't provide attention to 3 tables of diners - only about 4 people at the bar so no excuse. Too bad - it's got great decor and used to b an inexpensive relaxing place for a family meal.

A group of us came in to have some drinks and ended up staying ALL night. Everything was fantastic and the crowd was young and classy, and the bartenders were really friendly. We plan to go back for sure!!
