But everyone gets the Philly because it's amazing as well. Their fries are delicious, burgers are great, so we've tried a bunch of stuff and never had a miss. Prices: Perfect. We go every week because it's one of the only places around with great food and it never breaks the bank. Service: I just want to give them all the praise here. Everyone is amazing. Kelly and Clyde have set up a fun as hell bar with a family environment. We have never had a bad experience and the service is always top notch and fun. We love it and wish we could give it 10 stars!!!

The menu is concise but varied and we were surprised at the vegan/vegetarian/gluten free noted choices We tried the huge crispy onion rings, the soup of the week, the fish and chips and the ploughman's lunch. I would recommend all of them and especially when washed down with a Guinness. Ask for the special sauces to dip your chips - curry and a great tartar sauce. The kitchen seems to enjoy fixing interesting takes on traditional dishes also so trust them and see how it goes. You'll be happy.

Great selection of beers, drinks, regular food items and of course Irish food at this fun spot right on Main St. I had an Irish ale turned green that was cold one tasty. They even turned my wife's cider green which was a nice addition to the day's celebration. The scotch eggs were delicious. Hard boiled eggs wrapped in flavorful sausage that are baked and then served chilled. The dressing and dipping sauce went perfectly with the dish. Really a fun spot all around with great service, fun and hip atmosphere whether it's St. Patrick's Day or not. We'll be back!

They stocked nearly 20 different flavors for sale as a shot. I tried the peach and loved it! I was served a peach in the shot glass which I thought was a nice touch. Pineville is a small town and this is a local bar. I cannot speak to the food as we did not eat here. The ambiance was cozy and the locals were nice. There was a small patio out back if you wanted to have your drink outside. But there were no chairs. The restroom was clean and I really loved the private booths near the bar. The walls of the booths went all the way up to the ceiling. You will also notice the Irish influence throughout the bar.

THis one has a story behind it. Got invited to a drum circle in Gatrlinburg by my girlfriend's son…read more We went out that morning to see Cades Cover (big mistake - it was Memorial Day) and swung back around through Townsend (stopped at Mountain Man to have a craft brew on the way). Knowing we were going up to the arts district, I looked for a place to meet them before the circle and saw there was a Celtic Pub. Only that was the spot where the drum circle was. And, to my surprise, it is the same owner as the Fox & Parrot Tavern in Gatlinburg, one of my favorite English pubs (and currently closed do to a feud with the US government - hope that gets fixed). The place is definitely British country feeling. Very nice tap list, including both local brews and standard UK brews. Heavy wood feeling with a very nice deck outside, which includes some spots under cover (which was important as it rained on the circle and people had to duck in). There is nothing elegant about the place or the food. But that is its charm. The fish & chips were on point, esp. with the malt vinegar. Shepherd's Pie a bit salty for my tastes, but not to the salt lick level. Also came with chips. As for the drum circle, if you are reading this in June 2026, that is every Monday at 6-8 PM through the end of the month. I got some great drone footage of the circle, which I added to this review.

The moment we walked in and saw the Red Wings jerseys, I had a feeling we were in the right place--and we were. The bourbon selection is outstanding, the wings and pretzel appetizer were excellent, and the fish and chips were hands down the best I've ever had. My daughter ordered the filet, and it was a true filet cooked perfectly. To top it all off, the prices were incredibly reasonable. We had appetizers, dinner, and several bourbons, and our bill was actually lower than what we paid the night before at another restaurant that wasn't even close in quality or service.
