All we can say is that everything about this quaint pub is it is amazing. Something out of a hallmark channel (lol) loved the ambiance- we will be back - the food is amazing especially the pizza - the best is watching the specialty drinks being made - bartenders and staff are all friendly - feels like home. Friendly warm atmosphere- keep it going 💕

Rooney’s is one of my favorite restaurants. The food and the service are always terrific. And even on a rainy day the seaside atmosphere is perfect.

Another great experience at the Drifthouse—food, surroundings, and view are wonderful. However, the consistent attentive, professional, and very friendly staff are always reasons to return frequently. The manager, Hafid Elbroji, always makes us feel welcome and at home. Thank you!
