    Our server, Justin, was really great. We got the shepherds fries (fries with beer cheese, shepherd's beef filling, balsamic, and a drizzle of sour cream. I think next time I would order extra sour cream and no balsamic. There was so much balsamic it pooled at the bottom of the plate. The fish lunch special was really good. Nicely prepared, large piece of solid fish, good tartar. We really wanted to try the shark bite, but they were out of cider so we had a Harp instead. The atmosphere was great!

    Traveled over from Orlando for a football game and stopped here after perusing the options in the area. The pub is nicely situated on Main St. in Leesburg, a quaint setting. The interior is about what you'd expect for an Irish pub, a bit dated and drab. Our service was amiable and proficient. I really enjoyed the Shepherd's Fries. The Guinness glaze really kicks the flavor up a notch and the thick-cut fries are hearty. The Boxtys were decent and my cocktail was enjoyable. Prices are fair. I'd definitely return in the future if I'm in the area.

    Have you tried the specials? I was over the moon when I saw scotch eggs were available for a few weeks. They are different from any I've had before but excellent. Served with mustard and bacon pepper jam, they are medium cooked eggs wrapped in sausage, rolled in panko crumbs and deep fried. Get them while they're still available. Another happy hour surprise was the extra 1/2 shot of Jamesons for a dollar. Hats off to our server for bringing it to my attention! Quiet in a Monday night. C'mon people. Let's keep this place hopping.

    Run, don't walk here. The service was outstanding, the feel is of an old time Public House and the food sublime. We split a Corned Beef and Sour Kraut with Cole slaw. Nice balance, a great portion of meat and the bread was strong and flavorful. However, I saved the best for last. We also shared an order of the Shepard s Pie fries, extra crispy as well. We can say unequivocally that this is the best order of fries we have ever eaten. The fries are planks, but cut thinner and curved into scoops. The Shepard's Pie topping perfect from the meat to the peas. To go and not eat these is a sin against beer and food.

    We really enjoy McCrackens Pub. The waitstaff always make us feel welcome. The food and drink selection is fantastic, and the quality of the food never disappoints!

    We stopped here with friends after a walk. We chose to enjoy their outdoor patio area since the weather was lovely. Our server was very friendly and attentive to our group. We started with some drinks; I tried the threesome beer which had three different beers together and enjoyed it. I also tried their organic chocolate stout with peanut butter whiskey dropped in which was decadent and tasty. I ordered the pot roast dip sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese. My bf ordered shepherd's pie. Several in our group got the whiskey burger and one got boneless wings. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I loved my pot roast sandwich; the meat was tender and flavorful on a toasted bun that soaked up the yummy au jus perfectly. The Mac and cheese was tasty and I tried the shepherd's pie also which was good. Our chatty group was fairly quiet during meal time because everyone was happily indulging in their food! Overall, this is a great spot with a cool atmosphere and delicious food. I'd definitely return!

    Stopped in this gem, after driving through the city of Leesburg and looking at our choices. We are so glad we chose this place. The hostess seated us and said Tiffany would be our server, and almost immediately she appeared to take our drink orders, and explain a number of items on the menu. When drinks were brought, more explanation of items gave us the opportunity to pick two lunch options and off Tiffany went to get the kitchen working. Wasn't any time at lol and out came our lunch fish and chips, with one piece of good sized beer batter fish and interesting Irish fries. My choice was a smash 1/4 pounder on rye with cheese and onions along with fries and an extra side of coleslaw. All was fantastic and ample with my choice allowing my to take some home with me. Tiffany brought our bill and we had a great conversation and we thanked her profusely. The menu looked like there was other great options for us to try.

    I had the Onion Sage Chicken. It was delicious. We were there on a Sunday so ambience was quiet. We sat at the bar and had excellent service.

    This is a fun Irish tavern and restaurant in downtown Leesburg. My fish and chips were great. I liked the Parmesan fries too. My Wife enjoyed her French Onion soup and a salad. Our server was attentive and offered us a coupon for an appetizer. I get the impression, Leesburg is really trying to boost business in the downtown region. There are too many empty storefronts, which denotes financial troubles. But this oasis of niceness is a welcome surprise.

    Food is excellent and services is above expectations. BEST fish and chips around. Good pot roast as well. Ambiance for this place is true to a Irish restaurant

    Well, I really don't know where to start. Our server was really good, we ordered fish and chips and they came out cold, she took them back and brought us out fresh hot fish & chips. She blamed the kitchen but it took along time to get our original order so I think she might have left it in the window too long. Once we received the hot food it was ok, nothing special I didn't even finish mine. We also ordered their version of a potato pancake it was greasy not very good Simple housekeeping things that we noticed, catsup and hot sauce bottles were dirty and almost out. They need to wipe these down so they are sticky and gross. This area has allot of great restaurants and if this place is going to make it they need to step up their game.

    My husband had a Guinness and Harp combo.

She's like a yelp ninja that one. She pulls this place up and we plot our course. It's located in the crystal river plaza which looks like an abandoned strip mall .

We sat at the bar and Marissa waited on us. She was a total delight. Lots of fun to chat with. The food was WOW! We had the lobster bisque, ponzu and chili oysters, tuna sushi and a lobster roll. All were stellar, like hands down amazeballs for real. The bread there is LIFE. Soooo good. The bisque was outstanding and the oysters were insane. I wish we lived closer but if we get a place in the water up there we will bug the crap out of Marissa. I don't give out 5 stars often but this place deserves it.

The pub offers both high top tables and regular tables. The walls have Irish themed ads etc. It is located in a strip mall so you need to be looking for it. I definitely recommend this pub and look forward to visiting it again

    What an absolute gem!…read more We do Fun Food Friday as a family every week and tonight we decided to check out some Irish Cuisine. Harp & Celt may lack in the parking lot aspect, but it MORE than makes up for it in flavor, service, and atmosphere! There are two sides to H&C, one a bit more of a lively bar scene, and the other a more laid back pub vibe. Both have great seating and a fully stocked bar with access to some of the most delicious food around. We started with the pretzel sticks and fries with gravy and they both came out super fast and the gravy is beyond words good! One warning, it is piping hot so be careful! Haha The shepherd's pie has a fantastic mince with creamy and crispy topped mashed potatoes that feels like a warm hug in your stomach. The fish and chips are light, excellently crispy, and ridiculously fresh tasting. Add a little malt vinegar for a little zing and you've got a brilliant meal! Tack on a cold Manger's cider from the bar and you could be in any pub in Ireland. When there is a soccer game happening they've got the televisions dialed right in so you don't miss a minute of action, and you can even challenge your friends to a game of darts if you've got the skill!

    I enjoy these pubs connected by the bartenders in the center, sharing the same kitchen. The one on…read morethe north side is much more quiet & intimate, bit more peaceful. It's fun to check them out any time of day because they take soccer games VERY SERIOUSLY!! There'll be a rowdy screaming bunch on the other side of the bar. The Harp is more subdued but still has lots of fans watching the soccer games. (Tip: Don't share what team you're rooting for, even in jest, because you might trigger a rabid fan.) The beer is good, a selection is on tap, & I found a $4 cold Yuengling glass bottle recently during happy hour. They have traditional Irish beers also & food. I have enjoyed their Irish fry, although sometimes they might run out of an item & will offer a substitution. The food is good so get there early. They have a lot of fans. There are also events like poker, & featured Irish dishes specials on occasion. Nice staff that are REALLY into soccer/football.
