    A cute little spot right in downtown concord across from the capitol. The chicken pot pie was great. Our server, Colin was great as well.

    Good comfort food and nice comforting atmosphere. The chicken pot pie and sweet potatoes fries were great. I didn't love the turkey burger but that was user error in my part for ordering it. They did say they make everything in house!

    Stopped by after a great tour of the State House. Service was okay. They were friendly enough, but nothing memorable. They were out of the chicken pot pie (which I was really looking forward to ). We tried a burger and the stew. Both were fine, decent portions, just nothing that stood out. The atmosphere was cozy but a bit dark for lunch. Overall, an okay experience. Not bad, just not particularly exciting.

    Met family / friends after arriving in town. Great burger. Nice atmosphere sitting out on patio. Perfect service.

    Man, this is the place to be for lunch on a Thursday. I was visiting my parents for the holidays and was leaving that afternoon, so we stopped in for lunch before I had to head out. It is conveniently located in the heart of downtown Concord, and my parents live just a few blocks away. My sister and brother in law do, as well, so it's been a relatively frequent spot for my family for years, but this was my first time here. I think the entire town was there for lunch - we actually had to wait for a table, but I think it was only about 10 mins. While we were waiting near the entrance, I was perusing all the photos on the wall - lots of political candidates, some athletes and other celebrities, and then I spot a photo with my brother in law in it. He interviews politicians for a local radio show sometimes. Anyway, it was funny because no one in my family had ever noticed the photo before and it looks like it's been up there for over a decade. Once we were seated I ordered a spiked hot apple cider, which was tasty but room temp. If they weren't so busy I would've asked to have it reheated, but it was good enough as is that it didn't feel worth troubling anyone. My dad got a non-spiked hot apple cider that was in fact piping hot and he was very pleased with it. It was pouring rain that day, so it was a perfect day for a hot bevvy. We started off with the Blarney Puffs appetizer - it's fried little pockets of potato, cheese, and scallions served with Guinness cheese sauce. It made me wish I was in town more than once a year because I would eat those things every single day. Then I had to try the lobster BLT. Can't travel all the way to New England and leave without any lobster, come on. It's market price, which was $36 that day, but that's about what I was expecting. It was so filling that I could only finish half of it, so you're getting your money's worth. My parents got to enjoy the other half later. I also liked the coleslaw I got as my side. I don't know that I need to do the lobster BLT again, as that was more of like a novelty thing for me, but I'd get on a plane right now for more Blarney Puffs. I think my parents are hooked on them now, too. And they can get them whenever they want, so they'd better take advantage or I will have some sort of existential crisis.

    Was looking forward to trying this place for a while. After my experience last night, never again…read more The ambiance was nice Irish pubby look. The service was average to poor likely due to understaffing. We got there and waited and waited to be seated. Finally sat and waited again for our drink order. The Guinness was very good from the tap. The menu was Irish fare so all good.. Had bangers and mash and my friend had beef stew. The 4 sausages were okay but overcooked. A few were blackened. The mashed potatoes were flat out disgusting. They had a weird taste so I don't know how they were made or if they were old from the fridge. The clearly didn't use butter and milk to make it creamy and rich. The side of beans was in a little cup and tasted like they were from a can. No onion gravy that you normally find on this dish. My stomach was doing cartwheels last night and not feeling great this morning. My friend had beef stew and seriously it looked like all gravy. Not hearty at all. He said it was okay. My wife had salmon and she said it was average. Nothing remarkable about it. Too bad.

    We came here with good expectations and although overall it was a good visit, some crucial factors…read morewere below standard. The place is immaculate, clean, and antiseptic. The tables are superbly clean. The bathrooms are scrupulously spotless. The bar is perfectly curated and organized. A health inspector here would be sorely disappointed. Cleanest venue I've seen in a long time. The service lacked, however. Right after being ushered to our table with a beautiful outside view, the young waitress started yapping interminably on personal issues with a couple she obviously knew two tables away. We were forgotten. Finally after a good 15 minutes, one of us went to the bar to get menus. The bar waitress came out and bought us menus and gave the young lady a look.... Then the taps were out so in an Irish pub, no slow-poured Guinness. I did get it in the bottle and then had to send the waitress to get a cold glass. Lunch came. Delicious Chicken Moher and my other half a delicious Club Sandwich. Yum The lunch was very good. I would have given five stars. But the initial reception with a lackadaisical waitress tells me that although the pub may be outstanding, they need some better training for their wait staff.
