Food is hit or miss. Service depends on what bartender is working. The older one acts like he is doing you a favor getting you a drink. He will ask you when he is damn good and ready. Don't ever ask him. It has nothing to do with being busy. The Bartender Nazi. Many local regulars have completely stopped or rarely go because of his attitude. A customer is an inconvenience to him. read more

Great place to meet friends for a catch up meal or just drinks. I got the maple burger and it was delicious. Not super maple but just enough flavor to it. I also subbed for sweet potato fries as well. Apps we got the egg rolls and the fried pickles. Both arrived super hot but both really good. Usually pickles are ok chips but these were the spears which was cool. We sat outside which I prefer as the inside is usually really dark . Will always stop in read more

Meh food. Not bad, not great. Fake maple syrup on the crispy VT chicken sandwich, very disappointed about that, also chicken was a bit dry. The VT burger was also ok. My husband and I split both sandwiches. Sweet potato fries were pretty good though, tasted like typical frozen sweet potato fries lol hard to mess that up. Good selection of local beers though and the servers were really nice. Very casual, good music. Wouldn't come back intentionally based on the food. But for beers and typical low quality pub food, sure. read more

Delicious sandwiches excellent Guinness great waitstaff!the bar space and the double tables by the wall are excellent, the light is dim but perfect, it smells like wood and beer, it's crowded and intimate, you seat yourself which is a little confusing, and the gigantic tvs in the booths are a bit overkill but it's a good environment with lots of options I had a truly wonderful time here read more

Very cute and inviting Irish pub. The apps were my favorite. We ordered fried pickles, potato wedges with curry sauce and pretzel sticks - all amazing. They use local potatoes here. Good meal as well but apps were the star for sure. Service was good and no complaints. read more

Womp womp womp.... Don't even bother the food and service was terrible. The cook obviously does not Have a clue read more

Limits of this place are drinks and maybe wings. Pub fare is done very poorly. Dessicated Potato skins with dried out cheese that seemed they'd been reheated 5 or 6 times over a couple of days. Chicken patty was a school got lunch special (crappy frozen patty from a box) read more

We had been traveling all day and needed a place to stop and eat. A friend googled it and we are outside. It was absolutely amazing! I got the Club with fries and ginger ale. The combo was amazing together. All the flavors were coherent with one another that it made a big impact on the taste buds! Definitely recommend! read more

Mulligan's Irish Pub - The club with fries and a ginger ale - Pubs Near Me - Barre, Vermont

Should check your bartenders. PREDATORS. Have no problems serving girls that are vulnerable looking. Place sucks. Waitress sucked. Bartenders are creeps (in the sense that they hit on young girls) read more

The Sunday burger special is great. Good selection of beers/food. Lots of TVs for the game and like the outdoor seating as well. Staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

Just paid $15 for a chicken sandwich that looked like a joke about Fyre Festival. It tasted as disgusting as you would expect--given you understand the above reference. I never thought I'd be in a position where I was envious of all those people out there eating a BK "Ch'King" sandwich, but I was, and I feel very gross. Thanks Mullys. I'm never coming back. read more

I went on Sunday about 730pm and was ignored by the waitstaff for about 15 and they clearly saw me , I went to the bar and ask the male behind the if they were on break he said no and the the server is right there another 5 minutes went by still no service so I got up and went to the bar and the service was just as poor. I would suggest proper training of employees and/or new management read more

The service was okay but the drinks were not good, the food was over cooked and the atmosphere was not desirable. There were a some locals that seemed overly comfortable and made the experience seem like you weren't welcome unless you're part of their group. McGillicuddys in Essex and Colchester is great and despite having the same owners as Mulligan's, from what the menu said, the experience was nothing like a trip to McGillicuddys. We would never go back. read more

The guy that answered the phone was nice but I paid $40 for burgers and fried pickles that were terrible quality. They tasted bad. The fries were either fried for too long in oil that wasn't hot enough or refried. They messed up my order, they asked pink or no pink I asked for pink in all three and they all came well done. I also asked for no tomato's and there were tomato's. My largest problem with this place was the taste and quality of products. read more

Mackenzie (bartender) is the shining light of this restaurant. She has made us regulars and we look forward to our weekly (or biweekly) visits. Cannot get enough of Mulligans!! read more

Worst. Dining. Experience. EVER. I wish this was an exaggeration, but unfortunately it was my horrific reality when dining here. The exterior screams dive bar, and the interior wasn't the most comforting. Our server must have had better things to do than take our order or inquire about drinks. When we finally were approached and placed an order, it took over 30 min to receive a basket of soggy fried pickles (mind you, the "dining area" consisted of seven total people). The food was bland and seriously undercooked. Ultimately, we had to send our meals back. The only other time since taking my order that I saw our server, was to give us the check. I couldn't wait to settle up and get the hell out of there. read more

I'm not exactly sure what is Irish about this place. I couldn't see anything Irish after I drank my $8 margarita either. On a brighter note, it seems that they have done some housekeeping since rupa l.'s visit last august. Our booth looked to be well-maintained, except for the fact that it was quite oddly shaped (like a U with one stumpy leg). read more

Don't waste your time. What a horrible establishment. A buddy of mine and I stopped by after playing golf to get some food and a few beers. There were about 20 people there inside and out with at least three wait staff working. We sat inside for 10 minutes before a couple at the next table offered us their menus so we could at least see what the options were. After 15 minutes, I heard the waitress from outside tell the bartender to find help for the inside. At the 20 minute mark, a couple came in and sat at the table behind us and a waitstaff walked right past our table and asked them what they wanted to drink. After a few rather choice expletives to the bartender and anyone else I could find, we left. Don't waste your time here. read more

I liked it here when we went with some friends. The food was typical pub stuff, the drinks were fine. Our waitress was great! Very friendly and attentive to us. There was live music and it was a bit too loud for the type of music it was, noise level was higher than some places. I think its a fun spot to hang out with friends in. read more

I've been here a few times over the years. Always thought of it as a bit of a dive bar that served mostly fried food while serving up mediocre drinks or pricey beers. On my most recent visit it seems as though things have improved some. Yeah its a pub and thus you get pub food, but its decent pub food, albeit overpriced. I didn't have anything to drink on my last visit so I cannot really comment on that, but the drink list still seemed a bit pricey (with daily specials of course). This place is Meh, but a, "Meh, hmmm, not bad and the people sure don't creep me out as much as they do at some of the other places...meh." I would probably go here again before going to The Quarry again, unless I'm going with the purpose of watching a game. read more

If I am dragged here, I will go. The last time I was there we were seated outdoors and had to self service all our drinks ourselves, as the waitress was sitting at the table next to us chatting with other employees who were off duty. As soon as you walk in the place, it's off putting. You squeeze past the tub of dressings placed right next to the door and all of the tables are jammed in the middle so its really difficult to actually make it to the bar. I have had to request a "clean glass" from the bartender, as he kept making my rum and cokes in the same glass, even reusing the lime. Gross. I have eaten the fish n chips, which appeared to be a couple triangular Van D Kamp type fish patties... Not impressed at all and I avoid this place like the plague. read more

What a great little Irish pub! We stopped in for lunch and the service was great and the atmosphere was charming! The food was good. We had the French dip sandwich & fries (excellent) & Irish nachos (they were a little unimaginative) - I loved the corned beef on them. I'll definitely stop by next time I'm in Barre! read more

These guys are awesome! Special shoutout to Nicoli, Will, Ashley and Kassi! Also Javi! Love this place!

This one is a shame to the rest of the hearty and welcoming Irish Pubs. The place is not maintained-torn seat covers, flies buzzing around, caked up ketchup containers. My bluemoon came with a soggy orange & the waitress have no idea what "spicy" means. The hot cajun wings we ordered were just deep fried chix wings with salt & my supposedly ale soaked burger was flavorless on a week old bun. read more

I specifically went to this pub because they advertised trivia on Tues at 8pm. Got there at 7:20 and it had already started so there was no way to catch up. Very disappointed. Noticed this Irish pub has NO IRISH FOOD SELECTIONS. Disappontment #2. Ordered steak tips and those were decent. read more

The old Jacks backyard. Okay atmosphere. Food is standard burgers and salads. Nothing special. Waitstaff are sweethearts.

This place is horrible...the staff is rude and I have actually seen them tell obviously intoxicated people to drive home rather than help them find a cab ride home. Their waitresses are extremely rude to female customers to the point that they come off as just plain bitchy and then are extremely vocal as to why their tips were less than 20%.They are desperately trying to be something they aren't...an Irish pub but they don't serve any irish food or stock decent whiskey. Its pathetic read more

i am not a fan of irish pubs, but this place was great as it had outdoor seating, music, and liveliness that most places in vt are always lacking. good place for vt. put it in the middle of nyc, miami or boston and it wouldnt last a minute, but i will go back here to drink beer and eat ok vt food. WATCH OUT FOR THE SMALL TOWN COPS WAITING TO PULL U OVER WHEN U LEAVE !!!!!!!!! read more
