This is a bar/restaurant. They had a pizza special that was a BLT pizza. It was really tasty, but the edges of the crust were bitter from being burnt. While I love an oven baked pizza, not a fan of the burnt edges. The Cobb salad was plentiful and fresh. Our servers were good. They definitely attended more to other tables. Maybe because we weren't locals. We will be in the area again, and will give this another try.

Beers on tap today.

The server, bartender, runner, forgot his name was exceptional. Very knowledgeable. You can tell he loved what he did as he helps create the menu. The beer list was alot of the same with the typical Irish beers as well they offered a drink of the month as well as App and Burger of the month. We did not take advantage of the drink but the App was great. Fried Green Tomato with a balsamic glaze and homemade Ricotta. Devine. Very well manicured. We also got the Fish and Chips. Carnival style fries were salty and well done. The fish was great. Large piece, breaded to perfection. We loved it. This place is doing something atypical when it comes to an Irish bar. They offer all the Irish food you desire but the kitchen is knocking the flavor out of the park. Come check them out. They are attached to the German Bar right next door.

Lol I certainly don't think anyone from out of town would feel comfortable eating inside the establishment. No trouble for me there, just a strange vibe is all. My order was a pick-up to go order. I had ordered an Italian sub. It was ok, not particularly anything I can say was above average. Maybe their pizza or other dishes are phenomenal..? It was late in the evening and places were closing, so I didn't have a lot of options to try something other than chain-restaurants. Plus, It was close to the hotel I was staying at. If I had a do-over, I would have found somewhere else to order some food.

What a wonderful, quiet, friendly place for a get-together lunch! Two friends and I met after not seeing each other for months and we never felt we needed to leave as you do in some places. I had the encrusted cod, friends had salmon and chicken salad--all was super. Friends had Apricot Bread Pudding and said it was beyond wonderful ! Each of us paid about double the cost of the meal as we are all community minded and loved the concept of volunteers and feeding others in need. Do put it on your places to dine in Port Clinton...easy to find, in small plaza right off west exit of Route 2-south side of 163. PS Big, hunky teen-age boy might need to order double of things we had. Servings just right for our 70's appetites but...... read more
