Nice space. I liked the decor. The prices are good. Their Happy Hour starts at 12pm. Even if you get something not included in HH, the prices are still good. They have a Patio but it wasn't Patio weather yet. I had the Fried Calamari, it was okay. The service is good. I might come back when it's Patio weather.

Such a good Irish Breakfast. They have an extensive cocktail menu and even have a $11 Half Pint of Guinness and shot of Jameson deal. Would definitely come back in the warmer weather, the backyard space look awesome

Ida's is a great local neighborhood spot and they know what they're doing here. I came through a few times and it's a cool spot to be at. It's kind of gives the "How I Met Your Mother" bar vibe, if you've ever seen that show. There is a shaded outside garden in the back so you can have a choice whether to be in or outside. I personally prefer inside because you can get a little lost with the service outside. Drinks are pretty good and the food is standard American. They serve food pretty late so if you want a late(r) night snack, the food's pretty solid. The staff is cool and friendly and the decor is pretty cool. The expresso martinis here are exceptionally GREAT! Note: There is no TV inside so if you're coming in to watch a game, this may not be the spot you want to go to. If however you just wanna chill at a spot with cool ambiance and not too loud where you can talk with your friends, this is a great go-to. Tip: There is a wheelchair-accessible bathroom upstairs and a few more downstairs!

A standout neighborhood bar with lovely back garden and reliably delicious food. Extra shout out for using stainless steel pots for serving condiments rather than wasting tons and tons of plastic. Please keep doing this forever!
