    Casual bar on Danville's main road. There is public parking for the various stores and restaurants in town. Did not have trouble finding parking on a weekday night. If you're ever there on a Wednesday, make sure to participate during Trivia night! I didn't get to try the food since I went there late, but did enjoy the drinks that evening. Staff is very friendly and kind!

    Really cute Irish pub, so warm and welcoming. Bar was busy even on a Tuesday night. I saw they have trivia at 8 on Wednesdays. There are two rooms with tables that are quieter and we sat there. Very quaint decor. We split a chicken wrap, it had great flavor but chicken was chewy.

    Irish Breakfast

    Stopped in for lunch on Tuesday afternoon. We were greeted warmly by our host, then by our waiter (Ben). As an appetizer we ordered Frychos (not for the faint of heart): waffle fries topped by pulled schnitzel, cheese, and caramelized onions, which was sinfully good. And huge. For main courses we ordered fish and chips and an Irish breakfast, both delicious. Their unsweetened ice tea has a hint of lemon which makes it perfect. Inside the restaurant is decorated in an eclectic way which just works. What a great meal, great service, great value. It was my second time here, and there is so much more to have; I definitely will return, and highly recommend it.

    6 stars and I'll be back!!! This is probably one of the best Irish pub/restaurants I've ever been to. I'm not gonna lie! The atmosphere from the outside to the inside is reminiscent of your typical pub/restaurant in Ireland. The town and street it's on makes it that much better as Denville is one of the best towns in NJ(my opinion). We were having a flight of beer across the street at Diamond Spring Brewing Company when I was like let's go check out the Irish place across the street and grab an app and a beer. I am glad we did too because I was pleasantly surprised at the interior of this place. We sat in a cool wooden booth overlooking the bar and enjoyed a Cape May IPA(me) and a Magners Irish Cider(gf) and ordered the Irish potato skins app minus the bacon and added chili. The app was amazing and the beers were tasty. The waitress was very friendly and the prices were great! I'm looking forward to my next time visiting here. Sláinte

    This is one of my favorite spots in downtown Denville. The food is awesome and the extras like trivia games and whatnot keep me coming back. The only reason I have to knock 1 star out is because their TouchTunes jukebox is offline and they have no clue how to turn on the closed captions for the televisions which makes it impossible to enjoy watching Family Guy or anything with dialogue. Other than that it's a great little Irish tavern.

    Prime Rib Dip

    We had a pretty lackluster experience here. The food was average at best. This was expressed by my whole party of four. Personally I got the buffalo chicken dip which was ultimately just ok, I would never get it again. I then got the French dip styled entre which was very bland and lacked flavor in my opinion. I will say one dish that my party seemed to really like was the loaded French fries. Service also seemed to ignore us for the most part. We would ask for basic things like silverware or refills and be completely forgotten. One positive note that I will mention is that the ambience was quite nice on the inside.

    A dinner stop at Thatcher McGhee's Irish Pub on Broadway in Denville. Sat at the bar and ordered their Galway Fish & Chips, along with a few cold beers from their large tap selections while watching the Giants pre-game show. You know you're in a good Irish pub when your served speaks with a strong Irish brogue. LOL Thatcher McGhee's is a lively, casual, and friendly place, with an Irish cottage atmosphere. The service is fast and friendly. A fun place to watch a game, or just hang with friends. The fish and chips were very tasty. Three nicely sized pieces of juicy cod fillets prepared in a light, crispy batter, perfectly soft and crunchy. Just like they're supposed to be. The fillets were accompanied by a generous side of crispy french fries and onion rings; malt vinegar (a must)and ketchup appropriately arrived with the meal. Good job Thatcher's. 10/02/2023

    Always gotta make Thatcher McGhee's a must-stop for any local pub crawl and they never disappoint with any of their tremendous offerings of Outstanding Food, Ice Cold Beverages, and Super Friendly Hospitality.   So yeah, this is one of those places where I'm pretty damn sure I wrote a previous review for already but maybe I had such a "good time" here that I actually forgot to [could that even be possible?] Well yeah, anything's possible whenever "good times" ensue right?   Okay so let the record show that I finally did do a write up for this place and you guise are all my witnesses and are also hereby guilty by association. Lmao!! Come And Get Your "Good Times" On!!

    Food was phenomenal! From appetizers to dessert, everything was authentic and delicious. Place was mobbed on a Saturday night but that's n doubt because it's so amazing that everyone wants to go there. We'll be back!

    Amazing experience!! The food was SO good and the drinks were just as good! We sat in the bar area so it was a little loud but had great music playing and even better vibes. Our waitress was super sweet and speedy with all of our food/drinks. Overall 10/10, great Irish pub!!

    AMANDA THE BARTENDER - absolutely amazing service. Not only for my party, but for the entire bar. I am a bartender myself and I love watching other bartenders at work. She not only executed our orders to perfection, but I watched along as she memorized regulars drinks AND food orders. When I say there is a good bartender, a great bartender, that is a compliment. AMANDA, Is an extraordinary bartender and deserves a raise. LOOK FOR HER. You will not ever be disappointed by her service. You will walk away from this bar not only having enjoyed a meal and drink, but coming back for more. Tonight we got lucky seeing Amanda, but the nights that include both JIM and AMANDA are the absolute best nights. Just don't give yourself a yellow card ;) THANK YOU AMANDA (and JIM) Xoxo -E&D

After a bit to peruse the menu, we both ordered hamburgers and they accommodated some special requests like no rolls and rings instead of fries. The burgers arrived as if they were waiting for us and were perfectly done to order, accompanied by small cup of slaw with pickle chips. Cody and Dan did a fantastic job of providing great happy service to a very full restaurant. The food was very good, nicely presented and generous portion. Putting aside that all pubs are noisy, I would certainly recommend this happy place.

The braised beef ravioli with sautéd onions and mushrooms in a delightful sauce and some grape tomatoes is amazing. I enjoyed their salad before which was fresh and satisfying to round out my meal. We started the evening with the fig sangria. Honestly their sangria's are the best around. We like the seasonal ones and this didn't disappoint. Fig vodka, Merlot and more, check out the listing of cocktails for ingredients. Hubby had the comforting potato leak soup which comes in a humongous serving and sloppy Joe sandwich. Protein joy for him and he didn't eat all the bread because there was so much stuffed in the sandwich. It comes with these delightful chips. Get them Instead of fries, you won't be sorry. We like to go around 8, have dinner and drinks, then hang out for the band. Apparently they changed the band time to 9, so we might just go for appy's and drinks in the future.
