They have a a large out door patio that is perfect to knock back a few cold ones under the night's sky or during a nice summer day. They also allow smoking on the patio, if your into that. They have a large parking spot but it's not paved so you have to drive on a dirt and small pebbles. The piece is extremely affordable. The popcorn machine is a cool added benefit. The music box is cool but they people that chose the music suck. It's my go to bar in this area. Not really sure how the re-review works but tonight is was a cool night to come here. They have a live music DJ. Paying good drinks jams and at a volume that is not over baring. They have that sand bag game on the out door patio so that's cool to drink and play with friends. The hot fresh popcorn is a plus. Glad I found this local bar. The parking lot is still not paved and have made zero progress in doing so so that still sucks.

I LOVE dive bars. The divier the better…read more And this one has become my most recent favorite. For the past few months my sister and I have come here EVERY Tuesday for a little bonding time. (Ok, we come to get W45T3D but whatever.) At this point the bartender knows to expect us and even asked my boyfriend where we were when he arrived an hour before us last week. She said she thinks we're "fun". We ARE the party. Duh. They have everything a bar should have: Cheap beer on tap, hard liquor for shots (Jager bombs anyone?), and a jukebox. That's pretty much all it takes to keep me happy. There are usually a few old townies drinking in the corner when we show up but after we take over the music situation they either pack up and head out or sit back and enjoy the show. We take this place over. And lately we've been bringing more people with us every time -- Because seriously, what else is there to do on a Tuesday night? I've come a couple times on the weekends. It's usually PACKED with "bro's" and college kids. All set. I'll stick to week night drinking :)

Warm, welcoming, with that classic Irish pub energy that's hard to fake. The staff treated us like regulars from the moment we sat down, attentive without hovering, friendly without being over the top. The food genuinely impressed. Solid portions, real care in the kitchen, and the kind of pub fare that reminds you why this style of cooking has staying power. Drinks were equally dialed in, poured properly and served with a smile. Bottom line: if you're anywhere near Methuen, go. The Irish Cottage earns every one of these five stars. They were 10/10 accommodating with food allergies.

Our waitress brought menus, flatware and took our drink order. The menu is Irish pub fare with salads, apps, burgers, sandwiches and a few entrees like stew and mac 'n cheese. I chose a Caeser salad with added steaktips. The lettuce was fresh, large shavings of cheese and nicely dressed. Plenty of steak tips, small enough I didn't have to cut them before eating. Full bar with beer on tap. Private parking lot. Clean, updated restrooms. Our waitress was very capable and friendly. She kept our waters and other drinks full and checked in on us often.

She will serve her "regulars" before anyone else, so be aware that you will be sitting and waiting to be attended for several long minutes.

The food is affordable, fresh, and well made. You are always served popcorn (sometimes crackers and cheese) when you sit at the bar or table. Staff is always friendly and personable. Their Horseshoe Lager is bomb. Drink it. Tall glasses of beer are served in a large, frozen mug - the ideal way to drink nearly any beer. Boneless Buffalo wings are tasty, crisp, light with a hint of spicy. My favorite has always been the chicken broccoli and ziti meal. The only alfredo I'll eat as I find most either two heavy or too salty or too something. Go to the 99. Eat at the 99. Love the 99.

We usually sit at the bar here if there is space and find the patrons and staff to be friendly. Our most recent stop we ordered a burger which has a nice char-grilled flavor with a choice of cheese (3 options). Fresh lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle on the side. Ask for ketchup or mustard if you want that. Cooked to order, soft bun held together well. I usually get a side salad (for a bit of an upcharge) or the fries and both are good. If it's a side Caesar salad, I ask for it to be 'lightly dressed', which they do. Yay! Booth seating or bar. Bathrooms are tucked way in the back corner. There is plenty of parking next to and behind the building with a few handicapped spots near the entrance walkway. Close to the highway.

And we interacted with neighboring tables on both sides to recommend (when asked) the oysters, and when one received a drink with a big smoke bubble that created a magical flow of smoke when it burst. French inspired drinks and food were fantastic and interesting. The French 75 menu was so interesting-- choose your flavor and your bubbles. I tried two, the classic with rosé was so pretty, and the honey lavender with base level champagne was delicious. The raw oysters were to die for! Perfect little pop of acidity with other flavors delicately added and perfectly balanced. The oysters Rockefeller were also perfectly delicious. The foie gras is not something I would normally eat, but my boyfriend loves that stuff so we went with it. I enjoyed it more than he did. It was not a classic foie gras, it was smoother with a creamier texture and more buttery flavor. Eating it with the fig jam and "light as clouds" toast made it absolutely delicious! I enjoyed every minute and mouthful--would definitely seek this place out again even though I live an hour away! We enjoyed ourselves too much to take pictures!
