This is a great warm feeling pub. Nice vibe and ability to relax. Wait staff gives you space, but is there whenever you need them. I was having a work meeting, so was able to book in advance and the table was ready for when I arrived. Our table had a number of plates of excellent pub food and appetizers, from the cauliflower bites to the fish tacos, to the tasty salads. I enjoyed the burnt ends burger. The spice was great with the jalapeños, and the cheese and bbq sauce made for a wonderful pairing. To top it off, the thick gravy that stuck to the crisp fries just warms you up on a cold day. Definitely coming back here again. The experience lived up to the reviews I had read about it! read more

Free entry even on the weekend evenings with decently priced pints and live music. It was exactly what we were looking for. I also think I now prefer Murphy's to Guinness. Surprisingly clean bathrooms for 11pm on a Saturday. read more

Cool Irish pub-they never disappoint! Place was busy so some delays with seating and service. Large selection of craft beer, fairly priced, tasty brews. My partner had the fish and chips and said it was delicious. I had grilled chicken naan sandwich with upgraded side of spinach salad. Food was delicious! Setting very nice, a bit noisy but place was filled with cruise people. Outside space looked very nice. read more

We were driving to Canada from VA and this was our first stop in Canada. It did not disappoint! Food was delicious! The poutine is more than enough for two people. The lamb shank, we would've done back just for that if we drove back thru the area when Cask&Kettle was open. Service was a little slow regarding the dessert but the server was very apologetic. Not pictured was the flourless chocolate cake which was worth the wait! read more

Stopped in for lunch while in port on RC Cruise ship. It's a quick walk from the cruise port. Seated right away! Service was fantastic. Melana kept our drinks full and the bonus was that they served Diet Pepsi. She did great with food suggestions! I ordered the Chicken Bites, which were delicious! They were topped with spicy walnuts and blue cheese. On the side you get a sauce, I chose pineapple habanero, and Ranch dressing. Both were really good. I would go back just for this dish. I really wanted to try the pierogi but I was there on the wrong day. Darn! Hubby had Fish and chips and added a strawberry spinach salad on the side for me. It was scrumptious! The bathroom was fresh and clean, which is always a plus. read more

The food and service were wonderful. Clean, and the Rebuen was toasty and plentiful.

The food here is amazing, don't think I had a bad meal here yet, as well as the service is top notch.

Excellent place for brunch. Eggs Benedict with buttermilk chicken was awesome! The coffee is really good and served in oversized mugs! Service was quick and staff are friendly and extremely accommodating! Have been to many times and have yet to be disappointed! read more

First, the hotel, Delta Marriott, made the suggestion to come here for the best meal in walking distance... they are telling the truth!! The beer selection is plentiful, especially the draft offers. I chose the Cask and Kettle Pub Ale- great blend and smooth. For food I choose the buffalo Caesar chicken wings. Holy Moly!! The perfect blend of blue cheese and tender battered chicken. I saved the best for last- the staff is like family. Very welcoming, engaging, easy to talk to and full of fun natured play. The music is awesome as well. Plenty of chatter from the more than dozen people on hand at 9pm on a weekday. I am so very glad I made it here for the one night I have in St. John. BTW you will not believe the deserts.... I'm forever a fan and hope to return someday for seconds. read more

High quality Irish gastropub with excellent food and an outstanding beer list. I loved the Curry street fries and beet salad. We also dug the fish and chips. There is an outdoor patio. This place is worth a stop, not pretentious, just good. read more

The onion rings were a good serving size, definitely not made in house, however they were tasty. The chicken bites were a large portion and very good. Did not care for the Maple BBQ dipping sauce at all. Loved the blue cheese and candied walnuts sprinkled in top! read more

Popular place in uptown Saint John. We enjoyed several apps, beers and a turban sandwich. Service was very good. Lots of interesting options on menus. I'd go again! read more

Terrible service: ignored for a long time until I went to the bar to ask for water. When we were finally able to order, they didn't have some menu items. When we ordered, it took forever to get our food. It's just pub grub, why does it take soooo looooong? Was it worth it? Nope. Simple burger way overcooked. Impressive...but NOT a positive impression. read more

It's taking way too long for the food I'm so hungry I could drink the ketchup but still had a decent time would only recommend if you have patience read more

We wandered around St. John after our cruise ship docked and we were hungry for some lunch. We stopped into Cask & Kettle because it just sounded good and different. I grabbed a local draft beer which was quite tasty. I got the Irish Poutine, which was fries covered in lamb, gravy, and cheese, and it was very good and different. My daughter got the Irish nachos, which was house-made potato chips covered with cheese and chicken. Everything was very tasty and hot. The service was quite good, however, we were one of the few tables there. I feel like this place is probably quite busy in the evenings, but not for a lunch on a weekend as it is in a business district. read more

Great local feel with friendly staff and authentic Irish pub aura. Food was very good. Shepard's pie with lamb was excellent. Also the beet salad with arugula, yogurt and granola sounds strange but was a winner. Great local beer selections! read more

Great service and ambiance!! It was hard to figure out the drink menu!! But the waiter was helpful once he got there!!

Excellent seafood chowder. I would definitely go back the next time I am visiting the area.

One of our favorite spots in the city. The fried chicken poutine was a game-changer and a great, unique twist on the dish.

Great restaurant. Although, on our visit this weekend my wife and I both had the chicken and waffles. It seemed the waffles were too sweet. If I understood correctly from the waitress honey is used on the waffle iron just prior to pouring on the batter. Was left wondering if perhaps too much honey had been used as there were lumps of crystallized sugar (of considerable size, relatively speaking), across the surface of the waffles. Don't recall previous visits being impressed with this sense that it was just too much! read more

This was my first visit to an Irish Gastropub and I was not disappointed. The wife and I ordered the seafood chowder, potato cakes and Sheppard's pie poutine. Everything was DELICIOUS! The staff was also very friendly and appreciated the positive comments. This place is a definite must if you're coming off the cruise ship. read more

The burger was tasty but nothing exceptional. They have an okay selection of local draft beer - most can find one that they'll enjoy but it's not as extensive as other places. Fries could be improved - they were advertised as seasoned with Parmesan cheese, but they had zero flavor so it's either that imitation "Parmesan" sawdust or just some really stale Parmesan. My friend loved their chicken waffles so that might be the way to go. read more

Nice place to eat. Chicken and waffles are good, better fresh at the restaurant and not take out, found take out chicken was dry. Overall good food. Love their Irish coffee would recommend to my friends. read more

Nice wait staff and good food. Fish tacos were very good, spinach salad okay - needed more strawberries and cheese.

Love their fish & chips and chicken & waffles! Our friends tried their oysters too and said they were good. Perfectly located in the heart of uptown Saint John. read more

Probably the best meal I had while on vacation. Got the steak and fries. Steak was cooked perfectly. For dessert my friend and I split the deep fried Mars bar with vanilla ice cream. Absolutely to die for. All the food was seasoned perfectly and the service was fantastic. Would travel out that way again just to eat there again. read more
