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.

As you enter, the old Irish feeling of the bar and all the drink varieties will warm your soul. Let the nice hostess find you a seat and definitely start with a clam chowder cup. If you are indecisive, go with the fish and chips as you won't be disappointed. Great place to stop and recharge or unwind from a long work day.

Walking in 7 minutes after opening, this place was already packed. Full of Patriots fans hooping and hollering to the end of the fourth quarter. Every appeared in a merry mood, and everyone knew each other it seems. Service here was great. Our waitress whipped around the room with finesse and speed, working the bar and tables all by herself. She was to the point but pleasant. The beers are ok, but they aren't anything spectacular. An average selection of nearby beers of all varieties. Going to other breweries in New Hampshire, I know that this state can produce good beers. Perhaps they just had a mediocre selection the week I was there. We ordered a medley of items and most of it was hit and miss. In the sampler, the pork cracklings were decent, although dinner pieces were hard to chew since they turned into a dense fried bit. The fries were ok, but standard. The tator tot was actual pretty good, but there's this sweetness and texture that makes me think of pumpkin? That could be upsetting to some. The chicken tenders are ok, but the breading isn't seasoned or exciting in texture. It felt like how I would fry chicken at home with only one coat of breading. The pickle chips were good, even though they were not spicy at all. If they called these paprika coated chips, then I would agree. But texture wise, they were actually crisp and not super watery. The pulled pork tacos are ok, but they rely more on sweet barbeque sauce more than anything else. The tortillas are subpar in flavor, but sturdy enough to hold everything together. The veggies slaw did add some nice acidity though. The wedge salad here is terrible. I should have looked up what others posted before I ordered it. It was a literal wedge of plain iceberg, with all the other ingredients and fixings dumped in the middle. The stuff in the middle was ok, but nothing felt harmonious. Just a bunch of salad ingredients added to a giant paper tray. It felt like a waste of 9 dollars for what was lazy preparation.

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.
