Some might say the last thing Edison Park needed was another Irish Bar since the Irish are already well represented. This establishment, takes another approach, it is a restaurant first and a bar second. While it has traditional burgers, it also has an extensive menu of Irish cuisine. While many might have the fish & chips, I overheard the seafood boxty was excellent. A boxty is something like a giant potato pancake folded over an then stuffed with all sorts of goodies. There is a children's menu and the little Master Wally, would be quite happy with the mac and cheese. The building is new, but great efforts have been made to make the atmsophere "Irish". Beautiful wood paneling, flat screens showing Irish football (i.e., soccer), granite restrooms, and very friendly servers..... along with the nice selection of beers make it a very enjoyable experience.

Just on a point of clarification - Irish football is gaelic football, an indigenous game which uses both hands and feet in play for kicking and passing the ball. Soccer is also played in Ireland, and many Irish people are huge supporters of English league soccer as well as the European league so Irish pubs tend to show English and European cup and league matches as well as GAA (i.e. gaelic league) football games.
