    Downeast
    Alexis F.

    This Irish dive bar is spacious and has plenty of tv's with sports on. The music definitely gives Y2K vibes lol. The food was alright, nothing amazing. Pretty much what you'd expect for a dive bar. They have Downeast which was great because I'm a cider beer girlie all the way! Our service was very nice and attentive.

    Popped in for a quick pub lunch on the road. An unassuming building but boy is it a divey sports bar inside. Lots of screens for watching games and lots of darkness for losing track of time. We sat at the bar an ordered off the lunch menu. I opted for a patty melt and my husband for boneless wings. The patty melt was perfectly cooked. I opted for no swiss and to add American instead and it was so ooey gooey melty. It was exactly the comfort food needed. The fries were crispy. I didn't hear a word from my husband hwile he was eating so I will take that as a sign that the chicken was good. Great dive you should check out!

    Kids Pizza

    Ordered through DoorDash & Holy guacamole... my bf & I have been to ohio from MD 1-2x per year the past 3 years and have never tried this place until today. I just ordered a bunch of stuff for the two of us to share and everything tastes INCREDIBLE. Not to be dramatic- but i could literally drink their pretzel cheese dip. Everything is clearly made with intent, love, and quality ingredients. Might stay an extra day in mentor just so we can eat here again. We got the bacon cheeseburger, large pretzel, kids pizza and onion rings... slaw & broccoli too. Everything tastes incredible. Pubs can be really hit or miss but this is definitely a hit! 10/10 would recommend.

    I love their hooley buffalo chicken salad! It has the perfect mix of spring salad, cucumbers, cheese, egg, red onion, croutons, pita bread and your choice of either grilled or crispy!! I love getting their Caesar dressing and Vinegar and mixing it!!!

    Irish Egg Roll with corned Beef,Sauerkraut and cheese was a perfect blend with a thick crispy shell.  Perfect

    Passing through Mentor, thanks to Yelp photos and reviews we stopped in to this Gem. We love supporting local businesses as we travel. I was looking for good food and plenty of TV's for football. The Irish egg rolls were the best we have had. The fish & Chips on point. The batter was excellent very crispy with excellent tasting fish. Pub fried chips on point. Service was very good. Easily can recommend a great locale place.

    We did the igloos on the patio in December and they were fun! They weren't the warmest since the doors constantly opened for the servers.

    Service is not quality and the food is hit or miss. Lately it's been a miss. I hate when we have a company function and we go to this place.

    No sauce on both types of wings- very bland and dry. Forgot the celery. Ordered boxty tots which were nasty. Very disappointing.

The outside of the bar has a swanky vibe to it with : couches with pillows, fireplace, and even igloos in the winter time. I went here Friday night with a friend to get cocktails and have a good conversation. Upon entering, we were so confused. I hadn't been here in a few years and the inside looked so different to when I have been here previously. Right when we walked in there was a band playing right by the entrance door performing which is kinda cool but it was SOOOO loud I couldn't hear my friend the entire time even though I was sitting next to her at the bar. We didn't know we needed reservations to come here and get a table so we got stuck at the bar. I liked the idea of a band performing but c'mon we want to be able to hear each other talk. The bartender was right across from us taking drink orders and I could barely hear him either. I was even more confused when I couldn't hear him explain why I was double charged. It's Wednesday today I'm writing this review and went last Friday and my credit card still hasn't been refunded from that double charge. I have called Billy's and left a voicemail to speak with someone who can fix this issue and never got a call back. I even went in yesterday, on Tuesday after work to see if I could speak to a manager in person since no one had returned my call. I get there and there's one person working there and said the manager wasn't in but he took my info and told me the manager would give me a call that day... well that hasn't happened at all. It's such an inconvenience to not only be charged twice but to have to drive out of my way to try to get a refund for their mistake. It makes me not want to come back as I'm frustrated. The drinks are very good but strong! They have a lot of options for martinis. I did get the S'more's one to start and my friend did also neither of us liked it. It was ridiculously chocolate-y and tasted like straight espresso. I would expect that from an espresso martini but not smores. My friend loves espresso martinis but she didn't like it. I did order the Blueberry Lemonade one I believe it was called and it was delicious. I do recommend that one! I would love to come here again for some good martinis however not getting a response back from the manager or staff member hoping to resolve my issue with double charging me is frustrating to say the least.
