    I am in love with this spot. My only complaint is that its four hours away from me :(. Service was great, interior was homey, and the food was delicious. If you like corned beef as much as me please dont miss out on the corned beef burger. Ive been telling everyone about it. I highly recommend the chicken strips appetizer. Only Not a fan of the boxty potatoes.

    Best food and drink AND Service in the Lakes Region! We really enjoyed the Jaegarschnitzel: A boneless cutlet of chicken pounded thin, dredged in flour - dipped in egg wash then bread crumbs and fried until golden brown, topped by a smoked bacon and mushroom gravy served over mashed potatoes with rotkohl. OMG!! It was a huge portion and just amazing. Such a beautiful collaboration of salty and savory flavors. And you can really tell the chef takes pride in their art. It tasted so clean and carefully put together. Moving onto the Snake Bite, which was Blackberry cider and topped with Guinness....a mist try. Then the ginormous delicious Carrot Cake was the perfect ending to our already full meal. I have never had a bad meal or drink here. In fact, this is my top 5 restaurant in all of New Hampshire hands down.

    Front of restaurant. Water dripping from Air conditioner  on to ramp going to door. Dangerous!

    Bad service, bad food, dirty place. Table was sticky & the bathroom was gross. Won't be back.

    Completely disappointed. My friends came here before and talked it up so much. The waiter was clueless. he had to ask questions over and over. He did not know the menu at all. We had to wait an hour for our food. We ordered appetizers that never came. The waiter then admitted he never put the order in for it. my food was expensive and very subpar. Several beer selections were out. The scallops were over cooked, dry and tasteless: I had to ask for the rice that was supposed to come with my meal. Then had to wait an additional time and the rice was hot but not cooked. The salmon was overcooked and very dry. The food presentation was not good. The Irish breakfast my friend got looked to be ok. 1 meal of 4 that was good is not a good outcome. Customer service training and waitstaff training would definitely be beneficial. There were no menus either which was decidedly inconvenient. I am on the fence about giving this restaurant a second chance. It would definitely take someone to twist my arm quite a bit.

    Mojito- yum!

    I can't believe I've never been here before! The place is your typical Irish pub with the decor and Irish music playing, which makes you feel like you're in Kilkenny having a pint. Walk in and grab a seat on your own...no need to "wait to be seated" here. You can also let them know you'll be dining outside. Restaurant is clean (win!). Lots of room to bring friends and family, or seating for just you and a date. Full service bar with a great cocktail menu, too! Our server was just the sweetest thing and so friendly and welcoming. She knew a lot about the menu and had some good suggestions. I got a perfect mojito to start my epic food journey. The food....... let's get to what you really want to know about.... We had the duck legs, eggplant fries, buffalo chicken wrap, and the classic (New England boiled dinner) corned beef dinner. Duck legs were huge - covered in a delicious balsamic glaze and a sprinkle of goat cheese. A perfect match. The duck was tender and tasty and cooked to perfection. The eggplant fries were lightly coated and fried crisp and sprinkled with a generous amount of Parmesan cheese, served with a Your-Italian-Nonni-Loves-You kinda homemade marinara sauce right out of Nonni's Italian home kitchen. You know she was simmering that sauce all day just for you! Bf had the buffalo chicken wrap and loved it. He said it was the best wrap he ever had. A bit on the messy side because the juices were dripping down his arm and his face was covered in buffalo sauce, but I guess that's a sign of good food, ammiright?. Honestly, sometimes it's like eating out with my grandkids! But anyway.... I had the boiled dinner. Be prepared- you're warned....unbuckle that belt now... You literally get the whole brisket. This serving is huge!!! You can feed a family of four with it. Huge chunks of the most tender, delicious corned beef I've ever had. Boiled potato, cabbage, carrot, and parsnip for good measure. If you're in the area be sure to stop in - you will not be disappointed. You're welcome.

The tables are superbly clean. The bathrooms are scrupulously spotless. The bar is perfectly curated and organized. A health inspector here would be sorely disappointed. Cleanest venue I've seen in a long time. The service lacked, however. Right after being ushered to our table with a beautiful outside view, the young waitress started yapping interminably on personal issues with a couple she obviously knew two tables away. We were forgotten. Finally after a good 15 minutes, one of us went to the bar to get menus. The bar waitress came out and bought us menus and gave the young lady a look.... Then the taps were out so in an Irish pub, no slow-poured Guinness. I did get it in the bottle and then had to send the waitress to get a cold glass. Lunch came. Delicious Chicken Moher and my other half a delicious Club Sandwich. Yum The lunch was very good. I would have given five stars. But the initial reception with a lackadaisical waitress tells me that although the pub may be outstanding, they need some better training for their wait staff.

The service and food were fantastic. I had an Irish coffee with Bailey's and it was so good I had to have another. For my meal, I did the Irish sampler; 3 bowls consisting of Shepard's pie, beef stew, and pot pie. All were amazing but my favorites were the beef stew then the Shepard's pie. Overall, a great spot for some Irish food and can't wait to go back!

We booked the "red room" for a party of 10 patrons which we scheduled far in advance. The people that were in the room before us ran over on their time, so we had to wait about 18 minutes after our reservation. The room is pretty cramped due to the length of the table, but it was cute and cozy. The max amount of people is 12 in this room. I had the taste of Ireland, which gives you three dishes in sample size: shepherds pie, beef stew & chicken pot pie. For $19.00 (kind of steep) it was okay. You can tell that there's a lot of pride, and it has a "just like mama used to make" method of cooking. Seems like they take a lot of pride in all of their dishes. It seems that everybody truly enjoyed their dishes, even the ones that had salad. Again, it was really nice that we were able to have our very own room. I would certainly come back and have the corned beef and cabbage meal; that's what my mother had and she said it was great. The only negative thing I would say is that our waitress seemed like she was a bit annoyed, having to wait on a large group and we needed to split our checks. Other than that I felt that our service was sufficient.
