No frills, good hearty food. Quick service. Decor could use a facelift. Worn wood floors, tables & chairs. Albeit clean. Hubby's birthday and he wanted to stay local due to many home projects we had going on. This place has been a permanent fixture in the area for years. Our first time. Located on the corner of a small strip mall offset by the Wawa, bank & Walgreens. It features live music, karaoke and sports on 7 TV's. My husband got the cowboy sirloin which was a good quality cut and cooked as requested. It came with onion rings and choice of two sides. He had a bourbon & club ($10) for a beverage. I had the French onion soup which was decent but a hunk of French bread was overwhelming in it. Got the loaded potato skins. They were decent perhaps a bit overdone but not a deal breaker. I'm sure they are from a food service. For dessert we got the overloaded brownie & ice cream. That too was decent. Food overall was good. There's 16 tables, some high tops and bar seating as well. The place started to fill after 6pm. Sadie was our server. She ran the bar and along with one other waited tables. She was a no nonsense professional, albeit pleasant. My husband left her a $20 tip on a $59 bill. My husband would definitely eat here again. I like a nicer ambiance with my meal. But like I have said not a deal breaker! read more

My grilled Reuben was perfect and the corned beef was lean and tender. My wife had a beer burger and loved it! Sadie made the meal even better with friendly service. We'll definitely be back!!!!!!! read more

This is a very nice clean and cozy Irish Pub. The bar was buzzing with locals and the staff still provided excellent friendly service. We had the cheese steak sandwich which was delicious. I have had Ruben sandwich's all over the country including a famous deli in New York and this grilled Ruben was the best we have ever had! The corn beef was generous and delicious. The toppings were perfect. The fries were perfectly cooked and had a flavorful seasoning. The homemade chips were very tasty. I had a great Irish stout. We are looking forward to our next visit. read more

It's always great to go to the Celtic Pub. The service is great and the food is always delicious. This week, I ordered out. It was late and my husband had injured himself so we couldn't go into the pub. I ordered two burgers. The were finished quickly and were amazing. Nikki took my order over the phone and was gracious and friendly. Thank you for making a tough day feel a bit better. read more

We moved to the Smyrna area in January 2024 and have tried many restaurants in the area. The Celtic Pub is one of the few Restaurants that has never disappointed us with the food or service. The burgers are good and the Ruben Sandwich is top notch. This may seem funny but the croutons that are served with their salads are excellent. The fish and chips are also a good choice. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch. Many choices in traditional Irish dishes made it difficult to choose. I went with the Shepherds Pie and was not disappointed. My wife had the French onion soup which was topped with homemade croutons and cheese and a broth that consisted of Guinness Stout and was very good. Looking forward to coming back and trying the Stew next time. read more

We love The Celtic Pub. Everything we've gotten here is delicious. i'm partial to the blackened salmon BLT with aoli (I like it on the side). The onion rings, fries, and chips are so good. My husband really likes the wings, the rueben, the burgers, the fish and chips...pretty much everything! The service is great and friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual and often times lots of laughter. Our favorite place! read more

A short and sweet review....from the outside, you might not think much. My husband stopped here six months ago on his way home and said.... Its really good! We had dinner tonight, everything made in-house and delicious. Our bartender helped me make my choice ( Patty Melt or Housemade Corned Beef) and was a nice guy. Don't let the exterior turn you away - the food here is legit! read more

Yeah. No. Never again. I ordered via DoorDash. Chicken sandwich on naan bread and the mac and cheese. I've had some of the most subpar food experiences here in Delaware. This one takes the cake. I won't spend money here again. read more

The food was good, not great. Very noisy place with an incredibly loud, drunk, woman at the bar. Laughing, screeching, etc. Service was horrible. Incredibly slow to take our order and bring our food. A table of 4 walked out after they had been sitting for 20 minutes and no server came to their table. We will not be back. read more

This is the perfect good ol' Irish bar, it's beer is cheap especially the draft beer's. The food is amazing. I will be a regular I found a home away from home. Come see Travis on Sunday, Monday and Tuesdays. He will not disappoint you as your bartender. read more

Better than we expected and had vegetarian options. My wife had corned beef and cabbage.....I had a bean burger with asparagus....asparagus was perfectly done. Burger was good. My wife loved her giant corned beef and took home another meal. Service was quick and good! read more

The homemade chicken tenders are our go-to. The standard pub fare that you'd expect. Satisfactory service from the staff. Worth a try!

Brie is one of the reasons we keep coming in. She is so fun to deal with. The food is better than pub food. The wings seem to be close to perfect every time. read more

"The Celtic" has become our local "go to spot" ... simply put / is an Irish Pub -- not fancy, not overly pretty but it's GOOD. Food has always been better than just fair. Excellent burgers, their steaks are as good as any chain steak house restaurant you'll go to ... their fries are house made (very good). The wife frequently orders the salmon and says it's very good. Bartenders are personable -- drinks always good. Truly a local vibe, friendly folk. Please keep in mind, they can get busy and it's a small establishment --- the wait for food can be a bit long / it'll be worth it (you're in a bar - have another drink). Overall ... one of our favorite local spots read more

Went here last evening for dinner with friends, we haven't been here in years, but, I've been hearing good reviews of their food. We weren't counting on the race being rained out which resulted in a large crowd of customers. Even though the wait was longer than usual, it was well worth it. My wife raved about the Reuben, our friends enjoyed the flat iron steak and burger. For myself, I chose the Best Feckin Grilled Chicken Ever...it was fantastic. However, the true hit of the evening was the seasoned fries that came with one of the dishes. They were hot (temp wise) as fries should be and seasoned to perfection!!! I'm almost thinking of returning again tonight for a redo!!! read more

Great food! Great people! Always a fun time!!! Karaoke night is a blast and the staff is exceptional!

Food was excellent! Good service! Fun local restaurant! Nice change of scenery from the beach!

Great dive bar. Karioki was fun to watch. Pricing was fine. Good service. Local beer on tap! Glad I dropped in.

We went in last Thursday on a whim. One waitress working the packed restaurant and working the bar. She never missed a beat. We never sat waiting on anything at our table. Food was amazing. We will be back for sure! read more

Pulled off the road looking for a place to eat. All of the reviews helped us make a decision. $4 draft was only the beginning. I had the deep fried grilled cheese and the wife had the best frickin chicken sandwich. Yes, that's what it's called. Everything was excellent. read more

You can't go wrong with this place. Cool little Irish pub and the food was amazing. I had the bangers and mash and the wife had the salmon. Both were really great. The gravy with the bangers and mash really had that home made taste. Highly recommend! read more

New owners have turned things around. Great food, friendly staff, and perfect pours on the Guinness! A nice place to meet friends, relax, and catch a local band on Friday nights. Top menu items: Wings--Just TOP notch! Cooked perfect, and the Celtic or Traditional Wing Sauces are spot on (the others are pretty good too!) I crave the wings here, and make the drive South often just for them. The cook keeps the oil fresh, and you don't get that burned/old oil flavor in the wings like you get at so many other places. Burgers - Fresh rolls, great flavor in the burger. The Ghost Burger is a great choice, and really not too spicy hot. Hand Cut Fries (i.e home made daily) Fresh, delicious. Splash some vinegar on them and you'll smile with every bite! House Salad - Almost a meal in itself. I like to add grilled chicken & some hot sauce and blue cheese dressing. Perfect bar meal! The newly added Hanger Steak has a great flavor and is rubbed down with Stonefly spices. I usually go for the wings, but this one temps me every time. Nachos, Crab Dip, and Shepard's Pie are also great choices. read more

Karaoke on sat was awesome. Country vibe looms over the crowd however they did play a variety of different types of music. Good place read more

A local establishment. Very basic. Food was good. Served hot. That's hard to find nowadays. Chowder was very good. Ruben sandwich was really really good. Onion rings cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and attentive. They did forget to bring an appetizer which worked out just as well as the serving sizes are more than ample. Local entertainment was there and many customers are repeat. Happy local atmosphere. read more

Excellent lunch!! Nikki took my request for a corned beef special (not on the menu) and served what may be the best I ever had! The spiral rye was so fresh, it was as if it was baked on site. The warm, perfectly seasoned chips were incredible! Terrific meal, great beer selection, and excellent service. I'LL BE BACK!!! read more

The Celtic Pub - Corned beef special...the best!!! - Irish Near Me - Smyrna, Delaware

I've only had their food delivered but it was delicious. I loved the fried grilled cheese.

Smyrna,DE was the perfect midway stop from NYC to my vacation destination in Ocean City, MD. The Best Western hotel here is a beautiful bargain at $89, for all of the amenities that they offer. On top of that, there were so many local haunts to choose from. This town is truly Americana. We first attempted to go to the SportZone: (http://www.sportzonede.com/ordereze/default.aspx) But it was so packed with local revelers, and I wasn't up to line dancing. Needing something more subdued, we went to the Celtic Pub. Great choice! Amy was an awesome bartender that made us feel welcome, while somebody's uncle sang karaoke country songs while we were there. This ain't no fancy-dancy city folk place. Just good grub. And actually, not that Irish either. The young cook, with his tattoos and piercings, wandered out in between orders, which I found refreshing. I'm currently addicted to Old Bay chicken wings, and their version was better than most of the others I have ordered at other bars. I also recommend the Irish Roast Beef Sandwich. It's huge! With fries, and the chunkiest potato salad too! When we were leaving, I thought it was cute that a regular sang to the bartender, "Amy, what you wanna do?'. "I'd like to have a beer with you, for a while, maybe longer but not until 2", she sang back. So sweet! If I lived in Smyrna, I would likely be here on most nights of the week. read more

This sweet, cozy joint is under new ownership .... Lucky for us! Heard about the change from a friend ... The menu includes hand cut fries, both regular & sweet :). The nacho chips are freshly fried in house as well, and made my crab nachos ridiculously delicious! From the bar .... The Bloody Marys are made with house infused cucumber & bacon vodka; they're garnished w a Slice of crispy bacon .... YUM! The housemade lemoncello is better than anything out there. The staff is warm & gracious & we found the owners on site, greeting & meeting - they are fully vested in the success of this joint! Stop in & try it out ... You'll be back in no time - I know we'll be. They also have live music a couple nights a week. Some great bands ... I'll be back for that too :)) read more

Stopped for lunch today and the food was excellent. Braised beef wrap with sweet potato fries delicious and perfectly cooked. Pork with a winter veggie mash on the side the flavors performed a dance in my mouth. Irish jig maybe? Will definitely return. On behalf of the people of Smyrna who suffer at the hands of smyrna Diner and Sport Zone THANK YOU CELTIC PUB! read more

So apparently this place has new new owners and man we have found our new dinner spot. We have been multiple times and have not had a bad dinner yet! My favorites are the beer cheese and soft pretzels, the wings and this chicken sandwich that sounds crazy and a little wacky but it is AMAZING!! My BF can't stop ordering the french dip to try anything else he loves it! The staff is so friendly and on top of things even when the place is jammed. The live music and bands on Friday night is great, my only recommendation for live music nights is there is no real dance floor and they leave the lights way up. But the band choices have been great we love the country music bands as well as NoxX!! read more

This was a very delicious meal and was enjoying with the live acoustic music. Great sit down meal on the way back from vacation. Also very reasonable pricing. read more

Took forever to get my beverage. Expected it to be more personable because of the small setting that was certainly not the case. Was out of certain specialty food and the beer was warm. Wouldn't recommend it. read more
