Deliciousness - 3/5 Happiness -5/5…read more This place is for drinkers as it has no food, so if you want to lift an ale (and go out for dinner before or after, or bring food in with you), this is the place to be. They have a large beer, wine, and liquor list (although not nearly as many English beers as I expected from a place called Crown & Crow). I won't deny that I wasn't a fan of either of the mixed cocktails I had, with both (including strangely a smoky drink) being too sweet. But the beer was expertly poured and the wine was a very generous serving. The prices are also more than reasonable, which is great for a DC bar. But what really elevates this place is the service. By late night, the place was jam packed. But each and every bartender was extremely friendly and they expertly worked the crowd, getting drinks served quickly (which too few places manage to do) and swiftly clearing off tables of dirty glasses. I also greatly appreciated the free goldfish that they happily dole out to the patrons. The staff made this a really good time.

After a long day of music and walking, I found myself looking for food close to midnight, and this place came through big time. I ordered the chicken sandwich, and honestly, it was one of the best I've had in a long time. Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Paired it with a drink that hit the spot, and it was exactly what I needed to end the night. The service was friendly and quick, even that late. If you're staying at the Phoenix Park Hotel or just looking for a solid meal near Union Station, do yourself a favor and stop in. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in DC.

Talk about my two favorite things WOW this was fire I loved how it was layered.

For a while I thought Irish cuisine consisted of Guinness, Soda Bread, Corned Beef, Irish Coffee…read more Then I learned Sheppards Pie, Black/White Pudding were also Irish and delicious. Having been to Ireland back when I was drinking was a real treat to drink and be drunk under the table by the lads out there, but my favorite dishes initially were the Full Breakfasts, too bad you can't eat them all the time. My drunk food of choice is the Spice Bag's. Who knew Chinese take outs served at this point a national dish (I also love Irn Bru and have had it shipped to California during COVID). I've been searching for a Spice bag this side of the pond for years and this is one of the closest I've found. It's truely not chinese becuase I've asked restaurants owners to recreate it and they can't. It's Irish and Chinese and it comes from a place and time where immigrants assimilate differently becuase of the ingredients they have available to them. Over time it becomes their own. I was in town for business that week and wanting only the Spice bag I almost overlooked their other dishes which looked fantastic. I ended up loving much more of the menu. Narrangansett is fried calamari. Nice bite, not too much chew, great breading. I'd have liked an aoili, but the lemon makes it pop. Perhpas some parsley for garnish. I get it, that's not how it's served back home, but lets be honest the menu has French, English, Irish and American cuisine, so it's hard to be authentic to everything. Wedge salad's add grilled shrimp give that toothsome bite to go with the crunch and textures. I almost always get this when i'm doing a business lunch. Feels classier than ceasers, gardens, house. Blue cheese is for ballers. I would rather have had pickled eggs than deviled eggs considering it's a pub. The Reuben's pastrami was bland, but everything else was perfect, including the coated fries. I normally don't add salt, but this needed it. I loved the parsnips with the corned beef and cabbage. Filling and homestyle. The parsley cream sauce was a nice touch, but I'd rather have horseradish. The sheppards pie was delicious, hearty, had depth. the salamander/torching of the top is a really nice touch and presentation. The stars of the show are the irish breakfast, it's hard to find puddings let alone both white and black. Irish rasher make it ultra authetic. I prefer fry bread, but the fries are a nice touch versus hashbrowns that most places serve. It's got everything and everything works perfect in combination. I had this twice that week. The spice bag the real reason I was here. Usually i'm used to my bags being near see thru from the grease, but the fancier presentation did not take away from the taste. Everything is seasoned, crunchy, the onions are both crunchy and soft, the chicken was a tad on the dry side, but the best part was adding shrimp. I'd never had it that way in Ireland and to me the bite of the shrimp really complimented the fries and the chicken and actually took to the seasonings best. Eating it sit down was a little weird, but I was here for the food, not the ambiance of walking home drunk after the pub eating on my feet part. Service is better than most pubs and they really care about their menu. Prices are reasonable for DC and portions are large, so you're not left ordering 5 items to fill up. Decor is pretty traditional and on the older side. Bathrooms are on the nicer side. The crowd is a great mix of locals, office workers, sports fans, drinkers. Fantasically devoid of college kids. Gone are the days of me splitting the G, but they do a proper pint. I also came her for their Smithwicks. Yes you can order a "Drop shot" formerly known as a Car Bomb, just don't call it that. Most places are very understanding that it's a good drink and if you like it, then order it, but don't use the slang name for it that is divisive. Order a Drop Shot. Their Irish Coffee could use some work considering they do so many other things really well. The coffee is supposed to be hot and the whipped cream supposed to be fresh. Simple syrup is ok, but the sugar cube is preferred.

Both visits I had were excellent. They have a proper Irish draft list plus some others, and they pour a nice pint. I had bangers and mash my first night and the sausage was some of the best I've had. There was a good mound of mash and the gravy was dark and rich. I appreciated the onions added on too. Night two I got shepherd's pie and was quite happy. Rich sauce and mildly charred mash on top made for a fine meal. I'd gladly order the sausages again and would love to come back for the fish and chips. Worth noting: the service is excellent. Anne Marie is a saint dealing with...err...serving various personalities. Plus there was World Cup all over the TVs. The vibe is excellent Irish pub. I really hope we can go back again. She Said: I was happy that He agreed (happily agreed) to return to The Celtic House because I would have been bummed to miss out. I had the chicken pot pie which is darn near impossible for me to resist. Outside of my own and my dear Aunt Peggy's, this was some of the best pot pie I've had. The gravy was the right thickness, the chicken wasn't over cooked (which is hard to pull off in this format), and the puff pastry on top was light and fluffy but with enough oomph to it to hold up to the gravy. The only thing I'd change was more veggies in the dish, but that's my personal preference. As he noted, the service was terrific and I appreciated the aplomb with which our bartender managed her patrons. Potty Points: No trip to the potty for me on this visit!

We had a great time here for a number of reasons - all the staff were from Philly, which I could hear right away. It seemed many of the patrons were too based on sports logos and accents. The bartender was super welcoming and attentive so we ordered some beers. They also have a check-in offer of a free drink, so be sure to use that if you come in. I had a local DC beer and of course had to have one Yuengling on draft, a favorite beer growing up. It was a welcoming and happy place. I'm sure the bar food is good, we weren't hungry on our visit. If you're in DC and need an Irish style pub to have a drink or watch a game, this is a convenient one near Dupont Circle.

Come for the Guinness, stay for the wings…read more We stopped in late night for some beers and snacks. Service was fast and friendly. We got an order of wings and some shepherd's pie. The wings were top notch! We just got the standard buffalo wings and they were just the right size, well cooked and very saucey. The sauce is great because it's a bit of a unique twist on buffalo. It's nice when every place does not have the same mix of Red Hot and Butter (this was not). So, wings fit the bill. Very salty and spicy if I recall (it was late) and want to come back again soon. My friends enjoyed the shepherd's pie, but it wasn't the best I've had. The beef was kind of mild and the potatoes were not crisped on the top. However, a solid home made offering that you can season as you like and I suppose you can order it "crispy" to make sure it comes out that way. Yeah, I'd order it again.

I ordered the corned beef and cabbage on DoorDash, fully expecting the usual takeout roulette: soggy cabbage, tired meat, and a mild sense of regret. Instead? I got hit with a full-on Irish blessing disguised as dinner. The corned beef was so tender it practically whispered "top of the mornin'" and fell apart on command. No knife, no effort--just fork, bite, and immediate life improvement. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked like someone back there has ancestral pride on the line. And the cabbage? Listen... cabbage is usually just there for emotional support. Not this time. This cabbage had purpose. This cabbage had ambition. By the end, I wasn't "finishing my meal"--I was chasing the last bites like I'd just spotted the end of a rainbow. Container: empty. Dignity: questionable. Satisfaction: unmatched. If this is what survives a DoorDash trip through Old Town, I'm convinced eating it fresh in the pub might unlock hidden Irish heritage I didn't even know I had.
