On top of that, the food quality is not up to par with the high prices charged and the limited menu options for breakfast may further dampen your spirit.

Vibe: Disruptive entertainment, poor views

Hennessey's Tavern offers a cozy, pub-like atmosphere but fails to appease everyone. The live music, although intended for entertainment, is loud and disruptive. The patio area lacks a distinctive appeal, diminishing the dining experience. Moreover, the crowded place with loud music hardly makes for a wholesome date night. Drinks are passable - affordable but with mixed reviews.

  • Great Ambiance

    Cozy, comfortable interiors with great Irish pub feel and vibrant atmosphere.

  • Okay Drinks

    Affordable, with specials and decent selections; however, mixed reviews.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Live music too loud, becomes disruptive rather than enhancing dining experience.

Perks: Inconvenient parking, noisy setting

Loud music and poor acoustics adversely affect conversations, making the dining experience uncomfortable. Service, too, is a letdown with slow service and neglect from the staff, leading to a frustrating dining experience.

  • Great For Groups

    Long tables and deals accommodate large groups enthusiastically for fun gatherings.

  • Okay For Pets

    Pets welcomed on patio; inside seating for pets not mentioned or available.

  • Bad Service

    Slow service and neglect from staff lead to frustrating dining experience.
