    Classic Reuben with Loaded Fries
    Mark E.

    This wasn't our first choice. Across the road, we tried to go to BW3. As soon as we walked in, we turned right around and pulled up other options. That's when we decided to go to Hooley House. VERY pleased with the place, bar and dining room options with GIANT TV's on the wall to enjoy any sporting event. My meal was a classic Reuben and it was really tasty, not a lot of sauerkraut but a descent portion of corned beef. My side was loaded fries, fries are interesting as they're a skinny version of potato wedges. Everything is à la carte, so prices looked a bit cheaper 'till you add sides. Overall, a great option and it looks like there's actually people that care to run it properly.

    Went for the band Abby Normal. Surprised to learn I knew one of the bandmembers! Of course that meant it was a good time for the rest of the night. I thoroughly enjoyed watching them play along with seeing everyone dancing. Plus, I was in fabulous company! Super attentive server and amazing food. By the way, that was the SMALL salad in the photo. And, word to the wise. The added salmon was $13. Generous serving. Order wisely!

    Waitress was very helpful with answering any questions we had about the menu. Food was outstanding. Ordered way more than we could eat and everything tasted great. Definitely had leftovers. Since being right before Halloween they had the place decorated for the season and the place is way bigger than I expected. Plenty of TVs for games and they have keno for anyone interested.

    Very open and comfortable though a bit overly warm.

    Wanted to spend a great night with my kid after the hectic pace of Thanksgiving so we went to see a show at The Hooley. Our server is very attentive and nice. The salads were huge. The fries are Irish style pub chips but they were seasoned well. The white garlic pizza didn't come through on the garlic though. They have a great draft selection as well as specialty drinks. For an establishment this big the prices were pretty reasonable for the food. The drinks are a bit pricey. They have a great stage, a huge dance floor, and it's festively decorated for the holidays. I'm definitely going to come back simply for the fact that I can see a grunge show and my kid can come too.

    We had the Reuben, backed cheeseburger, and the chicken buffalo dip to start. The chicken buffalo dip was very light on the chicken but the flavor was definitely there. The Reuben was on the fatty side but was pretty good. The chips were amazing The buyer was made to order and perfect!

    The food was great would not change a thing it was a big dish for when I asked for a small sized salad. The service was fast and nice. The place makes me feel excited because of the music. 5 stars I recommend.

    We literally stumbled across Hooley House, because we stayed in a hotel that was literally right next door. Tip: Weather permitting, there's a really nice outdoor seating area with a fireplace here The 1st time we came here, we ended up spending the evening drinking delisous cocktails, dining on tasty food, and genereally chillin' to the laid back and welcoming atmosphere. You'll find that they have a fair number of TVs inside, so you can watch pretty much any sports game while enjoying your food and drinks.  The staff here is really attentive, friendly, and polite - highly recommended!

    Shepherds pie (small)

    On our way to Cleveland. Stopped for the night. Hotel across the street. We wanted a cold beer and good food that wasn't fried. Shepherds pie for $11.99 (small). Bartender assured us small was sufficient for us and portion was generous! She was correct! Served Hot! Happy hour domestic beers were a $1 off and Cold! Friendly bartenders! Clean. Reasonable large. Clean bathroom. Not to overly air conditioned either. Attractive inside and out! We'd go back for sure!!

    Martini and pina colada

    We were seated but never visited by anyone for nearly 30 minutes before a helpful employee noticed us and took our order. During this time we were treated to loud and not particularly great music by the band playing. The Bavarian pretzel was very dry in places and okay in others, this inconsistency was concerning. Likewise the black bean burger I had was tough around the edges. The pina colada was very watery and tasted off. In all, just about every element of this visit was unsatisfactory in some way.

    Onion Bowl of Soup

    Not very busy for a Wednesday evening. Looked at the menu on line at both the food and beverages. Was disappointed when most of the bourbon on-line was not available in the restaurant. Got the bangers and mash. After it arrived, asked for additional gravy as it came out with just a little and it was pretty good and helped the flavor. The onion soup was above average.

    The menu here at Hooley house is extensive and there are a lot of choices for a fairly low price compared to other restaurants; however, the reason for this is because the quality of food is not exactly on par with other restaurants. We ordered an appetizer, sliders, chicken wings, and chicken tenders. The cheeseburgers sliders come with two mini burgers and a side of choice, but the cheeseburger sliders were extremely dry and had barely any condiments inside. We chose a side of pub chips which were good but you can't really mess up the chips. The chicken tenders come with your choice of sauce and we chose honey mustard, but there was so little sauce on the chicken tenders that it tasted like plain fried chicken. The chicken tenders Were cooked well and they weren't dry but the lack of sauce really took away from the meal itself. The chicken wings on the menu were named "jumbo" chicken wings and when they came out I was not disappointed because they were slightly larger than the typical size of chicken wings that you would expect. We ordered a honey garlic sauce for them and they really put enough sauce on our wings for us to enjoy it. It comes with a choice of ranch or blue cheese dip for the wings, but I believe it was supposed to come with celery sticks that were not included or forgotten. The staff at Hooley house are nice and attentive and that is probably why I gave this review a two star instead of a one star review. For the price that you pay, I believe that You are probably better off paying extra to go somewhere where the food is better--I would not come back to eat here even though the prices are lower. A unique thing that I noticed before coming into the restaurant is that they have live music outside on their patio. This might be something that would up the experience a bit more and make it a better experience at Hooley house.

    Fine, but nothing special. Conveniently located but food was just okay. Service was fine but not great.

    Hooley house is always consistent and good. Decorated to the Max for Christmas without being over done. Service and food were great!

    Corned beef sandwich at the Irish festival was sad, literally half of the sandwich had no meat. If 0 stars was an option I would pick that.

    It was nice, I had Hooley Hunks and fries, it would be great if they had a bigger selection of desserts.
