DOWNTOWN.   Dark polished woods and comfortable furnishings issue a welcoming call from within this authentic Irish pub. Like its UK counterparts, Banshee accommodates with food and drink throughout the day. Homemade pub fare is a comforting mainstay and makes a hearty complement to draught and bottled beers and Irish whiskeys. Completing the ambience are live music on Friday and Saturday nights and a fabulous Irish breakfast on Sunday mornings. A good, anytime hangout.   (© 10Best)

Same old story
I used to be a fan of the place but lately the service is terrible and the bartenders are rude. The place is nicely decorated but very uncomfortable. I will have to say that it is better than Kildare's. More authentic but the service at Kildare's is better.

JT, good review, spot on. I was there last night and can confirm "this place is complete bull *****.... " LARGE SIGN OVER BAR READS (october 16,2007): Octoberfest: EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT BEER AND BRATS - $2 ALL GERMAN BEERS WEBSITE reads (october 17,2007): "2 Buck Tuesdays are starting on October 2nd. Enjoy German draught beer, Big Pretzels and Brats." WARNING: Do not question the authority of the bartender to charge $2.75 for a beer that is clearly advertised at $2.00. Her explanation was that we all interpreted the sign wrong. Then we were asked to leave. No further explanation. Too bad our bill was already paid. In all fairness the place has amazing potential. Everything was in place for a good rating except competent management. Our service was good, food was good and $2.75 is still a bargain for a German draft - but why the false advertising and why the confrontational management? They prefer to ask you to leave than correct the bill and bartenders from my experiences usually have personalities.

We had a great time at this pub. The bartender's were friendly and informative. Tuesdays are 2 buck Tuesdays, but does not say beer was $2. We had brats and pretzels for $2. The atmosphere was terrific.
