The tavern was opened by Tom and Jeff, who set out to bring a real Irish pub and eating establishment to Albuquerque, recreating the pubs they had visited in Ireland. The colors, furniture, pictures, and knick knacks throughout the room carry that European feel, alongside ales, stouts, fine whiskies, and Irish cuisine. The tavern offers the largest whiskey selection in the Southwest.

The menu covers Irish pub fare and Southwestern-influenced dishes. Liffey Chips are beer battered fish cut into bite size pieces with four dipping sauces, and Two Fools Irish Nachos top house made Irish potato chips with cheddar, green chile, and Cottage Pie beef. Scotch Eggs wrap hard boiled eggs in house made sausage and bread crumbs, served with pub mustard. The Galway Bay Salmon Plate uses house made Irish whiskey cured gravlox with cucumber and caper relish, blue cheese spread, and Irish brown bread. Guinness Beef Stew simmers sirloin with carrots, celery, and potatoes in Guinness and beef stock, served with house made brown bread, in a cup or a bowl. Jester's Pot Pie is a chicken pot pie with green chile under a flakey pastry crust, and the Paddy O'Malley Melt is a pork, beef, and brisket burger with sweet onions, 1000 island dressing, and Swiss on grilled rye. Salads include the Kerryman Chopped Salad, the Green Man wedge, the Original Spin with Black Forest ham and candied walnuts, and Cobb salads in small and large sizes. Wings come as a Bakers Dozen with Guinness BBQ or hot sauce, and the Whatever Special pairs a cup of soup or a tavern salad with a half sandwich.
