My family has frequented Nine Irish Brothers for the past twenty years. I always tell people it is…read moremy favorite restaurant in the world. As a wee child and teenager, it was the location of choice to celebrate birthdays and holidays. As a college-aged adult in training, it was the place to meet up with friends, share some drinks, and watch Jerry dance on top of the bar. Even now, as a married man in his thirties, living a ten-hour drive away, I make it a goal to enjoy Nine Irish Brothers once per year at the very least. When my childhood best friend of eighteen straight years passed away, this location marked the final stop in the bar crawl that was held in his honor. When another friend had bravely "come out" only to be to rejected by some of his religious friends, Nine Irish was the place where my wife and I were able to sit down with him over some Guinness and goat cheese fritters and show him how much we love him. The food and drinks are fantastic, and the memories are forever. Whether you've lived in Lafayette/West Lafayette all your life, you're new to the area, or you're just passing through, I cannot recommend this pub enough--no matter your age. O'Bryan's Nine Irish Brothers is one of a kind. Sláinte!

The chips part is deceiving as they are actually round cut fries. These fries were golden in more ways than one! For my entree, I went with the banger sandwich that had a spicy mustard, Swiss, and bangers sliced and cut. I enjoyed it but I enjoyed my wife's entree more. She went with the Reuben. The corned beef was very tender, piled high, and insatiable. I could have used more 1000 Island though. I would love to come back especially for a Reuben and pub chips.

Cons - Service- Service overall was very slow, our waitresses was hard to find as she wasn't checking any tables often. Could have been worse, but could have been better. - Food- my meal the CABA (chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avacado) was good but the bun was a bit stale, and could have been fresher. Overall not a bad spot, for simple bar food!

The Black Sparrow endeared itself to me when I saw a gimlet on their special drinks menu. Aw! Who's…read moreeven making gimlets anymore? Let alone featuring gimlets on a special menu and presenting them as bright, shiny things? No one, except this awesome restaurant in Lafayette. Of course, I got the gimlet. I also got what some might call a "girl dinner," but what I call a "hot mom traveling alone dinner," which is fries and a Caesar salad. The fries were excellent: mostly crispy, but every so often a couple of mealy and soft fries were discovered, which was nice. The Caesar salad was good, and it came with whole croutons, which is typical. But really, The Black Sparrow? Your Caesar salad could have been elevated to excellent if the croutons were crushed into bread crumbs! Just saying! The Caesar had a lot of freshly grated parmesan cheese, which was a nice touch. A good Caesar salad needs a lotta parm, in my opinion. I just sat at the bar, so all I know is that rectangular space at the counter. Is there a restaurant beyond the bar at The Black Sparrow? I have no idea, but if you're looking to enjoy a little drink and a meal at the bar here, I think you'll have a good time.

A special shoutout to our server, listed on the receipt as "Player 1," who earned the high score for her top-tier level of service. This place has definitely earned a spot on our must-return list.

The egg nog cocktail would've further drained my wallet had it still been stocked! Wish they offered deals with the drinks to entice us younger budget based boys, charging more than twenty for a simple bourbon mix is limiting the return of those who can really enjoy the live music volume. Two of my friends did sample cigars. Mentioned they were fantastic and paired well alongside an excellent port. An espresso martini without dairy and a cranberry old fashioned fulfilled more good hopes too. I'll need to save up and perhaps try again!
