Fried chicken night is awesome and they have the best burgers on the planet it's a great family owned business

This place is a classic institution out here in the Baldwin, but I feel like it's chesterfield area. Clancy's offers, Irish inspired bar and pub food ranging from corned beef and potatoes with cabbage to a classic Tavern burger with fries. The bar is fully stocked with American, Irish, Russian and everything in between liquor, beers, wines, and spirits for all to enjoy. Our night's like St. Patrick's Day and through the Linton season expect this pub to be packed from corner to corner to the heated patio outside. On busy nights you just have to kind of look and see for a table that's open or order takeout and enjoy sitting on the patio if you can't find seating on your own. Service can be a bit chaotic so I always recommend taking your time when wanting to visit this establishment on a busy night for regular dinner nights and lunch. It's a little bit slower so come and enjoy one of the weekly specials that will get you hooked on the environment and coming back for more. This restaurant is not very accessible for wheelchair users. There are a couple of steps around the restaurant and into the main dining room and the tables and boots are very close together so of traditional wheelchair will need a lot of adjustments to fit. read more

We had a celebration of life this past weekend and it was wonderful!! We had about 75 guests and we had the whole place to ourselves. Lisa and Maggie worked the party and they kept everything moving smoothly. They were so attentive. The food was delicious and there never was a line at the bar. I cannot recommend Clancy's enough if you are looking for an afternoon private party. read more

Went to another event at Sky Lounge so we met another couple at Clancy's. We were there at the open, so we had a nice table on the patio. This time I ordered the Grilled Chicken Breast sandwich along with a side of Cole Slaw and a side of Barbecue Baked Beans. The chicken sandwich was served on an Italian roll from the Hill. It was Fantastic! The flavor of the chicken was delicious and I didn't even need to use any mayo it was so good. I loved the beans as well. For dessert my wife and I split the Bread Pudding. OMG, it was the best Bread Pudding I've ever had. I'm sorry I didn't get my own. I will the next time. read more

The service was fine. Our server was quick whenever she had items to bring out but the kitchen clearly was having issues. It took nearly 45 minutes to get 2 burgers and fries while other tables ordered after us but still got their food before. The burgers were horribly overcooked, lacked any flavor, and had the wrong toppings. Had it not taken so long to get them, I would have asked for another but after waiting so long it wasn't worth waiting anymore. read more

Family-run business and well-established in West County. Great kitchen and wide selection of drinks. Appreciate the hard working staff and super tasty food! read more

Awful does not even begin to describe this place. Tables dirty, chair broken, utensils with caked on food (dishwasher not working here??), food was disgusting - could not eat it - walked away from it. Bathroom was filthy - no towels, sink did not work, floor littered with toilet paper shreds, toilet disgusting. Service is atrocious - the servers were so slow we had to wait 30" just to pay our bill and get out. NOTE: if we had been given our utensils prior to receiving the menu and ordering, we would have walked out right then. Unfortunately, our food came out the same time as the napkin-wrapped utensils. We had to ask for another set and of course waited an eternity to get the replacement. Why hasn't the health department shut this place down??!!! read more

Weeknight dinner with friends. We arrived late, but the waitress was attentive, and still able to give us separate checks. Drinks were cold and refilled as requested. Steaks were cooked slightly over, no complaints, always order a bit under imho. My Reuben was delicious and the slaw was not great but not bad either. Steak sandwich has rave reviews as did the potatoes au gratin. Atmosphere was on par for a pub. Bathrooms were clean and servers were kind, patient and thorough. We will be back for the dinner specials! Wednesday night has $5 burgers read more

I'm kinda pissed the menu includes 'onion rings' but in fact it's onion straws, I think. I was served a pile of salty, greasy breeding crumbs and burned onion bits. I'm honestly shocked the cook would serve that crap. Get it together Clancy's. read more

We are long time customers. Tonight my wife and I ordered the filet steak special, medium rare. It was overcooked which we would have overlooked. The steak was so salty it was beyond acceptable. I mentioned this to management and was given a cursory shrug. We were effectively blown off. After many years, decades actually, of feeling good about spending money locally here, and wanting to sponsor their efforts, our constructive and objective criticism in answer to THEM asking about our meal was treated as background noise. read more

Jax Hanson was the best busser I have ever had at any pub he deserves a pay raise. the food was amazing also

Merry Christmas West County! Go to Clancy's! The food never disappoints. We had to wait a little longer than usual to be seated, but that was on us. I recommend getting there earlier than 7:00 on a Friday night. Once we were seated our server Amy took care of us right away. The Christmas decor makes you feel like you are visiting at your Aunt and Uncles house down in the city. It just feels familiar. Welcoming. We had an order of the wings and shared a Rueben. Perfect. While we were finishing up I saw a sprinkle festive drink get carried past and asked about it. They have a pop-up Christmas drink menu! I had to try the Christmas Cookie. It did not disappoint. I am officially in the Christmas Spirit read more

I love this place. They have amazing weekly specials that keep bringing me back. Wed is burger night. $5 burger and fries and $1 for dessert (their bread pudding is to die for). It's not huge but my friends and I are always very satisfied and full. I have always gotten wonderful service and it has a very homey and unique atmosphere. Thurs steak night. I could go on. For the prices atmosphere and service it's so worth it! read more

I can't express enough how under rated this place is. I love going at least once a week. The Prime Rib Steak Sandwich omg so delicious and great size. Always great service as well! read more

If not we're possible, I'd give them a 3.5. We ate lunch h here years ago and didn't go back again until last night. We never found a sign that said "seat yourself ", so we roamed through the dining room until we found someone to speak to and we're told to sit wherever there was an open table. We found a table and then just waited until a server came over to our area. I think we weee there close to 15 minutes before we got water and menus. Our server, Julia, was great! It didn't take long to get our food. We went there because we were in the mood for a great burger and I can't tell you how many people say theirs is the best in West County. Sadly, the burger did not live up to the hype. It was very average. It wasn't full when we got there, but close to it and it's noisy. It's not terrible, but it is loud. And there's stuff everywhere! Literally anyway you look, there's a bunch of stuff! read more

First time at Clancy's. A not so hidden gem. Terrific service, and as others have noted a world class burger. Also have a great selection of cocktails. We will be back soon. read more

Note: Clancy's current dine-in and takeout hours are only 4-8p Tue-Sat. Check out their daily dinner specials. We enjoyed our Saturday steak meals, friendly attentive service and casual ambience! And try their onion straws, a generous and tasty substitute (sub charge)! Casual pub with $6.95 lunch specials on weekdays including 6 oz. burger, Chicken breast sandwich, Smoked 1/2 Chicken or Clancy's Sausage (bratwurst) plus a side. Thursday is steak special with Strip steak and mashed potatoes for $10.95. I like it for the informal vibe and comfort foods, plus a good place for cold brew or spirits. Great gathering spot for a group or family, also have patio seating on a nice day. You know the meat is fresh with a butcher's meat case right up front at the restaurant - think they sell a good amount of butcher meat, and the restaurant is a bonus. Today I ordered a cheeseburger no bun with side salad - not sure what overcame me because normally I'd go for the fresh roll the burger is served on along with side of hot, unseasoned but salted French fries. Oh well, a healthier choice today! Burger cooked to your liking, and I had their homemade bleu cheese dressing, the only house made dressing. Plenty of other good pub fare menu selections as well, so stop in if you've never tried Clancy's. Enjoy!!! read more

Real people and real food make Clancy's one of our favorite places. We've never had less than great and friendly service and we have never been disappointed with anything we've ordered. We feel like family and not many places have that vibe! read more

This is one of my wife and I favorite places to go to. My favorite is the fish and chips.

I like this place. A nice variety of a menu and daily specials make for a good spot for dinner. My strip steak with au grauten potatoes was excellent. Steak salad was generous and big. High recommended. Greatest service by Madeleine (ask for her), who knows the menu and did great. read more

We order their wings to go all the time. We even order by the pound & take to parties as our appetizer. They are always a huge hit! The restaurant is quaint & always filled with happy customers. The food is yummy & the staff is always very friendly. read more

Burger was great and service was very helpful and friendly. Recommend as a good pub, nothing crazy unique about this place (which in my opinion you don't need for a good pub) but super solid. read more

A lot of St. Louis restaurant lay claim to the 'Best Burger' each year. In fact, one of our own legends recently won best burger in the world award. Clearly, St. Louis knows how to grill a burger. Let's set the record straight. Clancy's at The Barn has THE BEST burger in STL. While we're at it, let's add an awesome rib-eye sandwich, pork steak, blackened chicken and Maggie's Potato Skins. Bread pudding anyone? You've not had bread pudding until you've had Clancy's with a generous helping of rum glaze topping! Our very own neighborhood Irish Pub (and butcher shop) is the clear winner. No need to drive downtown, no need to make reservations and no need to dress up. Walk in, grab your own table, say hi to any one of the Clancy's who are there each and every night and enjoy. read more

On a Tuesday night we gave ourselves 90 minutes to eat as we were going to a Christmas show next door at Sky Bar. It took 30 minutes to order drinks. We had to follow up with the server twice to find out where they were. We never received our waters. Our server had an attitude from the start. We then had to get up and find her to order food and more drinks. Two burgers one steak and one fried chicken. With only 15 minutes until Showtime we inquired where our food was and we're told it was next up. We inquired where our drinks were and they finally came. Our food came plated and cold. Ice cold. Evidently it had been sitting there for a while. Like forever. None of it was even warm. We all attempted to scarf down as much as we could quickly because we were hungry. Keep in mind we gave ourselves 90 minutes to eat at a casual restaurant. And now we have less than 5 minutes until Showtime and we're trying to eat cold food and pay the bill. We will never go back there. Bad service bad attitude bad food. They cram tables in so tight you cannot even walk through the restaurant. It was impossible for us to get any napkins until we finally got up and went to the station and got our own napkins. Are ketchup at the table was out so I got up and went to the station and got ketchup packets. But no one used them because all of our french fries were so cold and horrible . This was not an isolated incident. We had tables around us that were having the same issues. We were all chatting amongst ourselves about it. read more

One of my early and continued favorites. Great burgers! Great ribs. Family friendly environment.

Best burger in Saint Louis!! From the meat to the bun just absolutely delicious. Great service. A hidden gem that has been there forever.

The fried pollock is absolutely amazing and a huge portion. They have some of the best onions rings around! Our waitress, who was the bartender as well, was the only one taking orders and serving but that didn't hold her back....she was WONDERFUL! Can't wait to go back! read more

Went Tuesday because it was fried chicken night. Chicken was so over fried and so very dry and tough. Fried fish was equally over fried. Bread pudding, the featured dessert, was too sweet with way too much cinnamon. Bread was mushy. Service is always great. read more

Great place to get chicken AND burgers! I read reviews on both & very good reviews! We want to go dooo bad because we live so close

Food tasty, service was attentive and the prices were manageable. A nice neighborhood bar for a meal. Our waitress was exceptionally nice and met our every request with a smile. She was really busy and seemed happy. There were two other waitresses who seemed a lot on edge. There were two bus boys who helped during the evening. All in all a fun experience. read more

There are two Clancy's Pub and I've been to both and never had a bad meal at either one. They used to have specials all during the week like $1 ribs on Wednesday, steak night on Sat, fried chicken night, $1 draft beer etc. This was all pre Covid and they just haven't come back to their previous menu probably due to the high prices of everything now. This a still a great local place with a good atmosphere, ice cold draft beer and a great staff that are always friendly and attentive but they don't hover over you pushing more beer. Love this place (the one on Kehr's Mill). The one just off of Old State isn't as nice and never had the atmosphere of the one on Ken's Mill, felt more like a Dive bar. read more

It is good pub food. Just had Wednesday burger special. Ok not as good as other burgers on regular menu. Only negative is it is very noisy. Service is always very good and friendly waitstaff. read more

Excellent and unusual versions of marinated/fried chicken wings, chili, and pulled pork, with very good French fries and creamy cole slaw. Mom and I liked everything we ordered, and portions were so large that we took home enough for one more meal for me and two for Mom. Plus, a mistake made by a server inspired the butcher/chef to send me home with a FREE container of freshly made gumbo; I tasted it, and it's excellent! Another meal, there! Total, 2 lunches and tip, and 3 more take-home meals (with not even ordering from the less-expensive lunch menu for most items): $30! The butcher shop offered limited but great choices, all cut/ground/prepared on-site and to order. I bought a briscuit to use for Vietnamese pho soup, and it is very fresh, marbled well, and low-priced. 2.8#, $25. Would highly recommend except, for a few things: ---entrance is difficult to navigate for my mom (unsteady, and uses a cane), with a steep ramp and no railing to the front door, then high-rise steps inside; ---inside is too dark; ---it was too chilly (very cold outside, today). ---servers need to be updated on ingredients of homemade items. We ordered only water and no desserts. Will go back! read more

Amazing, I feel like I just came home after a long departure. Friendly! Accommodating! Great atmosphere. 1st time here, came on steak special night! Great selections, great price! A true hang out bar/pub/grill/restaurant. My new fav! Forget corner bar, Mike Duffys, Tuckers none have anything on this place!!! Don't take my word for it, check it out yourself! Come early or late it doesn't matter!! read more

Clancy's Irish Pub - American Near Me - Ballwin, Missouri

The most legit fried chicken ever! Green beans and mashed potatoes were equally great. The closest to mom's fried chicken you'll find!

First time on Clancy's in several years. Great pub ambiance. Wed is $1 rib night and ribs were very good (not like Beast but better than Bandana). Fried pickles and wings were also very good. Service was pleasant although a little understaffed. Towards 6:30 it started getting pretty busy. Overall good job! read more

Found it! Yep, after months of searching for the best burger in West County, I declare it has been found! You might not have realized it was even lost. I have fined through greasy, dry, beef, bison, boring, tasteless, drive-through, over cooked, marginal and a few good burgers....and then...Clancy's. The smallest of their burgers, weighing in at 6 ounces, (burger sizes up to 12 ounces) Black angus beef hand ground by their butcher was the clear winner at first bite. Seasoned and cooked to perfection, the patty was full of flavor. Served on some sort of delicious, hot off the grill bread. Hold over your plate kind of juicy. Sides are additional. Fries are good, coleslaw (regular or sour) are just okay. Located in the Barn of Lucerne which used to be a dairy barn, so when gps brings you here, you're not lost, just head for the green awning. Pub fare here plus many bbq items and they even sell their own sauce. There is a butcher shop which is part of the restaurant. Specials run throughout the week. So, after eating burgers like an out of control carnivore, I believe I can take a break, maybe eat a salad, and highly recommend Clancy's, where I plan to become a regular. Knocked one star because the American cheese on my burger was not melted on and cold to the touch. (Husband's cheddar was melted on.) Also, was seated in a booth that had more peeling tape on it than vinyl and it just didn't feel good to be sitting on that. read more

Always delicious, well priced food with friendly service and cheap drinks! Their daily specials are great and they have a cute outdoor patio for those nice nights. Great wings and one of the best burgers in town! read more

We had a spontaneous Friday night dinner here last week and we were surprisingly impressed. We enjoyed the patio which was lit up by lights and we had the opportunity to enjoy the music from next door. Once the weather cools down I hope they light the fireplace out there! I was going to have the blackened chicken sandwich but they were sold out. Obviously I will have to come back because who sells out of chicken??? I mean that must be a good thing no? I settled for the burger and to my surprise it was delicious! My husband had the Roast Beef sandwich and he said it was a 10/10. We will definitely be back for the chicken and I might even pick up up a steak or two at the counter to grill at home. You can't miss it when you walk in, but they have a meat counter where you can buy your own and take home. This was a nice change from our routine restaurants and we can't wait to come back. read more

Quaint, friendly atmosphere. We think the regulars are gen boomers and up. A tad run down, but hey, it's a pub. Food was OK, but not exceptional. She had pork steak with a dry BBQ rub. Steak was a little overdone (dry). He had brisket sandwich on French bread. The meat was very tender and moist but could have been trimmed a little more. Bread was "off the shelf" fare and the bottom piece pretty soggy by the time it hit our table. Hard to eat as sandwich since meat was sloughing out all sides. Great BBQ sauce which we assume is Clancy's recipe. Sides of potato salad and baked beans were good. Might have stretched this to a three star, but service was lacking. Blue Moon on tap was on the flat side and during entire meal wait staff did not check back to offer refills; a two beer meal thus limited to one. We sat with empty plates a good five minutes before waitress returned ... and place was not crazy busy. Him: "Check please." read more
