    The only thing better than the food, drinks and atmosphere was the service. Amazing and attentive staff that makes you feel right at home. Best place to enjoy my first Irish Sunday roast. My best friend who had plenty and was the most excited, said it was the best she ever had. Definitely try the Belfast coffee !

    Love krewe, have been here a number of times with different groups of people and I’ve never had a bad word to say about it. The food never disappoints and I’ve tried a few different things each time I’ve been. The portion sizes are fairly decent, especially the topped fries- enough to share between 2 people. The staff are always so lovely & welcoming and very attentive too. I like the addition of the new summer cocktail menu this time around too, nice to have the spritz and sangrias added to the menu. Would recommend 🙌🏽
