Wow! What a spot! Wanted an approachable dinner after a long day on the point and this place knocked it out it out of the park! Easy dive bar vibe with a superior menu of drinks and eats. They have lake perch dishes that are an absolutely must. For the win: Bavarian Pretzel, Lack Perch Sandwich, and a Dortmunder Gold read more

I love Daly's! The pretzel is great if you eat it on site. The Cajun dry rub wings are some of my favorite. Taco Wednesday is awesome. French fries are on point. Lasagna night is so worth it. Pot roast sandwich or dinner is nom nom nom read more

Cool spot right across from the lake. I am partial to old architecture, and this place hit the spot. Loved the $1 wing special and pretzel! read more

Stopped here for lunch on a whim. Service and bartender was great and food was excellent. Ordered a Bloody Mary and it was good, but no garnish (olives, celery, etc) which to me is the icon to a BM. Started with the queso bites - gery tasty and great dipping sauce. We split the Reuben and it was huge. They were nice enough to plate our meals separately even tho we split it. Was delicious! We would return! read more

Incredible Sandusky Tradition This is the place you go to catch up. Their food is one of the best values downtown and they even have menu items for vegetarian/vegan folks. Very consistent with friendly staff. The patio is a must in good weather. Thank you for being a cornerstone of Sandusky! read more

The establishment lets their restaurant be taken over by drunks. when I finally got my food 12 people forced us to leave because they were trying to fight someone at the bar. The food, trash. if you want a good Ruben in sandusk, go to Arby's. read more

Service was bad trying to get someone back to our table to get us drinks, but when they thought we left without paying they chased us a block away only to realize we left cash on table. & very unapologetic after that read more

Always fun at an Irish pub. Daly's has some good drinks. The food is nothing at all special. It's just mostly all fried. Very meaty stuff. I wasn't feeling anything for the food menu. It was a whole lot of meaty stuff. This is typical of an Irish pub where they have sauerkraut balls and stuff like that. My companion wasn't hungry either and just wanted to get tipsy. The drink menu was good since anything's good with Irish whiskey. I had their Jameson green tea shot. This was some sweet tasting green tea. It's $5 all day every day. This was a pretty good deal for how strong it was. I could have a drink here again. It's one of the few Irish pubs around here. Most of the bars seem to have a tropical kind of theme. read more

Typically good food, ok prices, and excellent service. Not yesterday... Waitress refused to advise table next ours to stop vaping. Stated they know its against the law, but they choose not to enforce it. Over nine months of visits this was the first I've seen it indoors. Changed table much further away. Food came out nicely as usual. Waitress never came back to provide refills. Very disappointed with yesterday's waitress. Hopefully the mgt will address the vaping issue and remind the serving staff to check in with their tables on a frequent basis. read more

We went on a busy night. There was a triathlon in town. Several other places were turning people away. We sort of ended up there by chance. I'm glad we did. Friendly staff, good food, cold beer. It's a bar, so don't expect fine dining. Nonetheless, the perch was really good. We'd go again without hesitation read more

Daly's Pub is a local favorite. It's a fun place to go with great service. The food is good and very reasonable and you get a good pour at a very reasonable price. read more

Came to Sandusky for Ironman 70.3... walked into Daly's Pub for lunch... They were not slammed with business... sat for over 15 min, with the waiter walking by never stopping. Thought about leaving and went to sit at the bar to get service... multiple bartenders looked at me and refused to even ask to take an order... horrible ass service and hope they close read more

Always good food, served hot and equally good service. Has the look and feel of a dark corner tavern - which is what it is - and menu is consistently delicious! Ambience is casual. Seems like a good mix of boaters, bikers, and locals. Pot roast sandwich on Thursdays is yummy! Patio is near the street but nice views of town, and it's fenced. read more

The food is delicious with large portions and reasonable price. Our waitress was friendly and we were served quickly. However, my reason for giving this a 2 star... I don't enjoy eating my lunch with a dog sitting on a chair at the table beside me as our waitress (anf other employees) petting and hand feed the dog cheese then serve us our food or have the man at the bar with his dog in his lap up against the bar that people eat at. Seriously. Also, about 10 people standing at the door entrance smoking, you have to walk thru the some to enter. Sorry we won't return. read more

Bad service, Loud, Expensive, Questionable food... It is what it is I suppose: A Place To Get Hammered. If your goal is to get a coupla gallons of Bud-Light down and some poorly prepared bar-food then shout at everyone, then this is your kind of place. I have tried all manner of food here (after being dragged in by friends) and cannot imagine how much cheap beer you'd have to have to like any of it. I won't be back. Oh, you want to invite me along, and you are buying? I'd rather not. Thanks. read more

Stopped here for lunch while touring the town. Disappointed. Waited about 5 minutes for drink order. Food arrived quick, but no one checked on us till we were almost done. Was hoping they'd come soon after food arrived so I could ask if they had any napkins... found them myself. After eating waited too long to check out and had to go to the bar to pay on our way out. Entry doors were filthy. First and last impression coming through doors will stick with us. So many new places to try out, next time we visit. Maybe it was just be a it was early and they do better with the late crowds. read more

Stopped in for lunch. This is your typical sports bar with an Irish Pub twist. I had the bacon cheeseburger with fries. It was good. Nothing special but on par with pub fare. The people were friendly, the location is great. read more

I originally visited this place last fall after a day at Cedar Point. The food and service weren't bad, but what concerned me was "One America News" playing on the TVs above the bar. If the owners have the urge to be brainwashed by racist right wing propaganda, they should do it at home, not subject their customers to it. I suggest you take your business elsewhere. read more

I was back in Sandusky visiting my parents and craving Lake Erie perch. There are some great places to get fresh perch during the summer. However, it's hard to find perch in the winter that doesn't taste frozen. I was so happy with the Perch Sandwich here. It tasted very fresh. The portions are very generous. I also added onion rings - they were some of the best I've ever had! read more

The Jet Express we tried to board was booked, so we thought to just have lunch in downtown Sandusky while we waited for the next one. This was a mistake. It was the Sunday of Labor Day weekend and every restaurant owner decided to give their staff the weekend off. We stopped into two different restaurants and were met with poor attitudes, snide stressed waitresses and no clean tables. We walked into Daly's and saw they were just as busy with about as little help. What prompted me to write this review was the service we received from Tabitha. OHMIGOSH this poor girl! Her and the staff were running their tails off serving the restaurant and the entire time she held it together. She got us refills and checked in and did everything in a pretty timely fashion regardless of their staffing issues. My reuben sandwich was pretty solid and the price was average. I liked the open bar in the middle and thought it could be a good place to hang out if we weren't so rushed. But serious absolute kudos to Tabitha for being so awesome and not biting anyones head off. I know they had to call in some extra help and that's never fun. Boo to whoever did the scheduling! read more

What a shit hole. Bug in drink and 20 minutes to cash outs. Go elsewhere plenty of other spots in town to hit up that are far better

Went there for lunch and later for afternoon drinks/appetizers. Nice, quiet pub with friendly staff, good food and cold beer!! Excellent pot stickers and walleye bites!! My only complaint is that the chili was too salty for my taste. read more

Never eaten here, but if the food is anything like the person who answers the phone, Ill heat up some cat food and finish it before I come here. Simply asked if the patio opened up to the street where a car show is going on and youd have thought I asked for the moon. Lets be honest, not much going on in Sandusky so I know you didnt have a line out the door and were in a rush. People who answer the phone are the first impression I have of a place. Had 4 cars worth of people looking for a spot where we could see the show, get some food, have a few drinks. After this rude individual, we will eat before we get there and pack some drinks. read more

Hard to get over the marijuana contact high and the expletive laced music playing in this place. So awful. I was with my husband and three boys and were horrified at the whole scene. C'mon it's Sunday night! I would not recommend this establishment unless you smoke marijuana and enjoy heavy, expletive laced rap. To the owner...you should be embarrassed! read more

My parents, husband, and I stopped in at Dalys on a Saturday summer night. I ordered the pretzels and my parents ordered the macaroni and cheese bites. The pretzels were good, but the macaroni and cheese bites left something to be desired. For dinner, my mom and I both ordered the ribs, hubby ordered the meatloaf, and dad ordered the perch. The dinners were by far better than the starters. Portions were generous and service was good. So, why a lower rating? Two things. 1. Improve starters and sides. Boring underwhelming salad and macaroni and cheese bites. 2. Ways too loud on the music. It was difficult to talk to my family and waitress. All in all, I'd probably choose somewhere else to go, but I wouldn't turn down a trip if someone asked. read more

Daly's is hit or miss for me. Seems like it's always either too dead or too busy. But like many other spots around Sandusky, go with a fun enough group of friends and it really doesn't matter. I don't really order food here but they offer a pretty decent beer selection and the service is usually really good. Basically, don't go for the scheduled entertainment. Plan on bringing your own and you'll have a good time. Patio is the place to be so if you get a table, don't give it up. But I think they still close it down early thanks to the tenants across the street making noise complaints. read more

I will say ever since they got the bathroom plumbing cleaned up this place has went up in my book.I will say the patio in the summertime(VIEW OF LAKE ERIE) can rate with any patio in Cleveland or Columbus.The beer selection is very good with Great Lakes Brewery on tap.The staff is very good at serving and the food is decent but not better than across the street.I prefer Dalys in the summer on the patio with a nice breeze off the lake because thats something your not going to find in alot of spots around Lake Erie.I did notice the Tremont people hanging out from time to time with the dogs but they were cool... read more

Daly's Pub is the real deal. It is a local favorite and the food is great! I had a corned beef sandwich which I was told is corned by the owner. Delicious! They also have awesome music available plus a huge selection of beers, full bar and other assorted drinks. Oh, an did I mention the atmosphere with views of the lake? Awesome! A must come and try it! read more

We felt lucky to find this place when we were unexpectedly delayed in the area. We liked the selection of Great Lakes brews on tap, and our steak quesadilla was really better than the usual, especially since we were asked how we wanted our steak cooked! The interior is handsome - an old corner bar with big windows and original woodwork. Comfortable, spacious. Our waiter, William, was fun. My only complaint is the music - too loud, and too random (jukebox). It was too hot for the patio the night we were there, unfortunately. But I would like to go back on a cooler evening and enjoy the breeze right by Lake Erie. read more

Good location downtown near ferry. Historic building. Friendly and casual. 22 beers on tap.

This is the place if you're looking for Pub Grub and amazing draft beers @ Great prices. Daily specials are available from the kitchen if you're looking for something off menu. read more

Typical bar atmosphere, neighborhood bar. The staff was friendly, good food, and the price was right.

The service is absolutely amazing. Sam, Jill and Brandy are the best bartenders around. The owner is involved in the daily business and a great guy. I would recommend Dalys to anyone in the area. Their food is awesome! Take out is fast and delicious. read more

Where to start. Did not get greeted at the door, bartender just looked at us. After 10 minutes, another associate finally told us it's open seating. We asked if we could sit outside, to which, she replied "she won't steal a table for us", she probably thought that would upset us colored folk. A server on our way outside to check seating, without hesitation, says we can't seat "them" out here. I'm not 100% sure but I'm going to take a wild guess and say it might have been because we're colored. That was enough for us to walk out of there, it also helped that the "hostess" decided to walk away after. This place might as well put a sign out indicating who they serve, would've made it easier for everyone. Luckily, went down the street to Small City Taphouse where we were treated like people. read more

I had my first BlowJob here. My first Screaming Orgasm, too. And my first Sex on the Beach. And believe it or not, my first Brain. Dina and I spent many many hours falling off the barstools laughing here, at the best non-gay tavern on the North Coast. One night a cute bartender ran us through the catechism of pottymouth drinks. I can still see that Brain, quivering there in my fist, knowing it was coming back up later. read more

Sketchy looking bar with sketchy dudes. I had no interest in any of the food on the menu, so I just got fries. They were gross. The beer selection was decent, especially for being in the middle of nowhere. read more

eh...in the summer its crowded with crazy college-kids slave driving from Cedar point and annoying locals. But then so is every other bar in Sandusky. I saw an old 80's band there - Slaughter. It was horrible, but a very interesting night. read more

An amazing place. I want to give it about 4 stars but our server Chelsea made it worth while! We are a family of 5, 3 kids, 2 adults from St.Louis. She took super good care of us, so if you're looking for awesome service with decent food, always ask for Chelsea. She will make your experience!!!!! read more

Close to 50 taps. Lexi the cook really cares about quality. All the bartenders are terrific. Even when it's slamming they are on point. Patio view of the bay and dog friendly. read more

First day in town for Cedar Point and we stopped in here while exploring around after we checked in the hotel. I got the Ruben sandwich with onion rings and my wife got the BBQ'ed meat loaf with mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious and very hot. Highly recommend. read more
