Wow, it's hard to believe Tilt has been in business for three years. When it first opened, I was a little worried if they'd make it or not. I remember stopping through one night and the crowd was sparse.
But recently, my friends persuaded me to go on a Tuesday night, and my, how things have changed. Congrats Tilt for making it three years!

As I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, I’m originally from England. So whenever I find a pub that caters to my European tastes, whether it be Ireland, Scotland or England, I drive over so quickly I almost forget which side of the road I should be on — don’t worry, I know it’s the right side ... right? Just joking. But it was my cravings for home that lead me to PJ O Reilly’s, located at the corner of Highway 521 and Ardrey Kell Road.
PJ O Reilly's is an Irish pub, and while I’m not from Ireland, I lived close enough to tell you the inside décor does a great job of recreating the feel of an Irish village. The orange-painted walls and the random brick-painted designs look similar to a village home. There was even the popular red phone booth on the wall where you would typically find a payphone.
This is why Scorpio is still around after 40 years.
