“Hidden gem” shows up in Pat Murnane's reviews often enough to stop being hidden — more than 650 Google reviewers have found the place, and they average 4.3 stars.
The pub canon, plus a salad bar
The South Main Street Irish pub serves the comfort canon — pub fare, burgers, shrimp dishes — alongside a genuinely uncommon touch for a pub: a salad bar, soups, and a fruit bar. Reviewers single out the California Burger with onion rings by name, and the shrimp dishes have their own following.
What the reviews keep saying
What the reviews return to, though, is the people: very kind staff, an attentive owner working the room, a clean and cared-for dining area. It reads like what it is — a neighborhood gathering spot run like the neighborhood matters, where the third visit makes you a regular.
Every town needs that pub. On South Main, it's Pat Murnane's. Menu and hours are on their directory listing.
