And Guinness meat pie was quite heavenly. Very juicy and tender beef inside w/ bitterness from guinness. This is perfect marriage between two. This place could've gotten 4 stars if the waiting time wasn't too long. 1st dish didn't come out until 40 minutes later. It didn't look back up as there was only one party of 3 beside us who ordered food at that time. At least, salad could've come out sooner. Maybe we came here in wrong occasion because we had to catch the bus to airport within next 30min after we got the food. We probably should've come here when we were not-so-in-hurry even though we thought we gave enough time. But I had to say, as soon as I put the food in my mouth, the wait was worth it.

Great atmosphere, lots of indoor and outdoor seating- both for a couple or larger groups. Good parking available in front and around back. The drink selection is broad and the food what you'd expect from a pub. I had the small order of fish and chips. I'd share a photo but I could not wait to dig in once it came. Chips were crisp and flavorful. The fish flakey and delicious. The salad was ok. Wait staff were friendly and attentive. All in all if you are on the 1 and hungry or just need to take a break scoot over here.

Actually it's not little at all, but very large and spacious inside. Even the outdoor section is nice and large, with many tables for the smokers or for the folk who prefer to drink outdoors in nice weather. The drinks and food here are pretty good I reckon, and quite cheap too. But I think this place holds a special place in my heart because I used to frequent the place every other week when I lived in the area, and now when I go there it's almost impossible not to see someone who I know. A warm friendly atmosphere.

And Danny Doolans happened to be right next door. The only choice in seafood I could spot was the pan fried fish of the day. It was so dark in there I couldn't really see what I was eating. The fish was sitting on top of some sort of cream sauce with diced tomatoes. The server said the fish was of a local variety similar to cod. However, because the music was so loud I couldn't hear what the name was clearly. I'd say it was okay. The price was around $30.

It's as dark and calming as any Irish pub should be, about the colour of Guinness inside the bar. Or escape into the airy courtyard, enclosed with brushwork fence. This area looks better at night with it's dainty little fairy lights and minus the moving trucks in the background. The relaxed but respectful service is by far the bars best feature. The staff go beyond the standard salutations and engage in friendly conversation with customers, without interrogating them or becoming unprofessional. Platters coming out of the kitchen look enticing and are handled with skill by the waiters. A couple of days later, there wasn't a trace of the St. Patrick's Day carnage and the sunny courtyard only held the sound of an Irish fiddler. Fantastic.

The Claddagh is quite dark inside but this gives it a bit of atmosphere and you can feel your blood pressure lowering when you sip a Guinness in this mellow environment. If it wasn't for a friend who took me there one night I might have never noticed this place as it's down a lane off Broadway in Newmarket. I suppose having it as more of a cult bar is better than something more mainstream like Father Teds. An Irishman judges a pub on the quality of the Guinness and I have to say it's pretty darn good in here. The staff are really nice which makes you feel at home in every sense of the word. I actually often forget this place is here until someone mentions it and then I am happy to return.

O'Hahan's Irish Pub in the Viaduct by the harbor seemed like a great place to try as a short walk from the hotel. First impressions are important, and if I listened to mine I would have bolted as soon as I walked inside. The place was very loud (lots of rugby and football/soccer) on the televisions and groups of revelers raising a pint or two. But what really almost had me going for the door was the lack of lighting. I don't mean that this place had romantic mood lighting, I mean this place was down right dark. I like clean, and when places are dark my immediate thoughts are that poor lighting hides poor cleaning. I was talked into staying and knowing how hungry we were and casually dressed, another option on this evening was probably not a quick solve. So we took our seats and proceeded to order. Mind you we needed our cellphones to see the menu, and I never felt like such a senior citizen in having to do that in a restaurant before. As I said, comfort / bar food was goal. So we ordered the garlic bread (Irish style) to start and it was ideal when washed down with our beverages. The crispy fried chicken salad was fair, not the freshest of lettuce, but certainly not terrible either. There was plenty of chicken which was served hot and crispy as advertised so it is nice to report that they didn't skimp on the portion size. Also ordered was the traditional fish and chips. The order was huge and was also piping hot right from the fryer. The white fish was fresh and moist and the chips were the right crispiness for us. The food was far better than I thought it would be, but that is not to say it was fabulous as much as to say I was pleasantly surprised. I would give the food alone a 2.5 and the beverages a 3, but the atmosphere a 2. I probably wouldn't go here again other than to cheer on a team and raise a glass to celebrate with some good friends in a casuals & friendly atmosphere.
