The Clifton Education Foundation held a reunion for Clifton Board of Education retirees on September 15, 2026 and it was a wonderful experience. The food was delicious and plentiful, and everything was organized so efficiently that there were no lines for food. The service was exceptional. Drinks were kept filled, empty plates were cleared promptly, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout the event. A special thank you to Regan, Teresa, Nicholas, and all the servers who helped make our reunion such a success. Their hard work and professionalism made the day truly memorable. We highly recommend The Shannon Rose for special events and look forward to returning next year! read more

Bf and I stopped in Shannon Rose the last two Saturday evenings. Both times, I noticed it's like a ghost town compared to years ago. Hopefully, it's just due to people being on vacation. In addition, I noticed very few servers. *However, the servers were really working their tails off and were always super friendly. The first Saturday evening, my bf and I just stopped in for a beer, Expresso martini and Irish Coffee. The Expresso Martini was just fair. The Irish Coffee topped whip cream had fallen flat. Please see photo. Last night, I ordered a Shannon Rose Burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was just fair. The fries were good. Years ago, the food used to be much better. Hopefully, business starts picking up in the fall. I wish this neighbourhood business lots of luck! read more

Adults night out brought us to the Shannon Rose. Inside vibe is awesome. Very clean, casual and opened space. Service was top notch. Couldn't have been better. To start, I went with the Irish Eggs. Which were deep fried deviled eggs. I love deviled eggs and these were on point. I went with the Murder Burger. It was highlighted as winning an award, so I had to try it. This is a deep fried burger, with cheese, jalapeños, thousand island I believe. The deep fried was a little too much for me. I can't complain about it, what did I really expect from a burger AND bun that was deep fried? The inside components were VERY tasty and worked. For dessert, I had the Irish soda bread pudding. Which my wife wound up stealing half, so yeah... it's solid. Next time, I have to try another version of their burgers read more

Went back to Shannon Rose yesterday (10/19/26) and it was a much improved experience. The place was empty again, but the service was very attentive. While this could be a coincidence, the very next day, there was fraudulent activity on my credit card. The transaction was processed away from the table instead of the portable credit card machine that many restaurants use. Again, this may be totally coincidental. The waitress was very pleasant and attentive. But, it raises a red flag in my mind. At the very least, the wait staff should not be removing a customer's credit card from the table. read more

The last time I've been here at the Shannon rose was about 10 years ago. They have a nice outdoor lounge when the weather is nice, you can hang out and enjoy your drink outdoors and has a smoking area for those who do. Great parking availability and food is decent. The music and vibes were great and a good spacey dance floor! I had a good time and would definitely try it out again soon! It's been too long since I've been there but having a great experience, I would definitely try it out again! Pretty good crowd And all ages from mid 20's to early 50's age crowds. There is security at the door or a bouncer and of course you must bring and show your ID! Staff were friendly and prices were reasonable. I don't know if this has all changed since I've been there but will try it out again and so, I definitely do Recommend! read more

Good Irish style restaurant. Decent beer selection. The food is always good and the staff is friendly and attentive usually don't have to wait for a table. If so there is bar seating. read more

Usually have a good experience here. Typical Irish pub food and brews. I would say the bar experience here trumps the dining experience. Came here for their Easter brunch and was a little disappointed. Food was cold and not replenished fast enough, and quality of food was subpar. Definitely recommend ordering from regular menu than a pre fixe menu. read more

I have been here several times over the years, and I have never had a bad meal. I really love the decor and the layout of this place. Lots of wood, with fireplaces and little nooks and crannies. It sets a vibe. Also, the service is always extremely friendly. One of my favorite meals here is the Irish Breakfast. This is a hearty dish filled with sausages, eggs, beans, tomatoes, and top notch soda bread. It is also very well priced. I've also had delicious Bangers and Mash, Shepherds Pie, Scotch Egg, and a Lamb Shank special. Shannon Rose is a fun place for some tasty food and good drinks. Slainte! read more

We had the loveliest time here! Thanks to Nicholas our server who was kind and on point! We love the Irish music, food and decor. Really fun & cozy spot. read more

We entered the very large establishment to a dining room/bar area that was nicely decorated in traditional Irish fashion. We took a seat at the bar and ordered a drunken chicken sandwich. The sandwich was made by stuffing tender delicious chicken, pesto and vodka sauce in a very nice pizza dough and a little cup of extra vodka sauce to dip in. I added $2 to substitute onion rings instead of fries. The onion rings were also very good but if you're going to upcharge me I think you could give more than 4 onion rings! A minor complaint. We quickly realized the the place is enormous! 4 different bar areas wound through dining areas made this bar guy happy! The place obviously did not anticipate the crowd they would have (as told to me by one of the servers) on a Memorial Day Sunday night. The service was a little strained due to this but the bartender worked very hard to make up for it. She is a credit to the establishment. We wound up moving to one of the rear bars when we found out the band was setting up there. I also wandered into the outdoor adaptable area that included a 5th bar! The band was good as was the crowd. I will definitely be back! read more

Went there to watch soccer not much of a crowd that was fun only six people at the bar don't know why I waited 10 minutes to get a drink. Then the Guinness was flat waited another 10 minutes to order food in 20 minutes to get it bartender had a bit of an attitude. She asked if I wanted another beer I said yes but five minutes later I didn't have it so I said she could skip it and I'll take the check. He said oh I added it to your bill. That's funny because the keg was empty and nothing was coming out. Waited another 10 minutes just to pay Real waste of time today Manager comped my flat beer will not be back. Service was horrendous 20 different restaurants in a 5 mile radius I'll be going somewhere else. read more

Nice joint to hangout. The place is very spacious. The food was good, as my friends mentioned. The staff was friendly and very welcoming. They do have a good selection of beer on tap. I had the Scottish Ale. Good body and flavor. I highly recommend it. The band that was playing, "The Exits", rocked! They made the night really fun! This joint is really worth checking out! read more

Love Shannon rose! Ambiance is great! You can hear over the buzz of the crowd while having a conversation. Food is great! Had wings & my friend had the steak sandwich (I think) We sat at the bar, svc was great! Bartender was attentive & good also. read more

My wife and I had lunch today the 10th and our server Jennifer was wonderful, the next time we come we will ask for Jennifer for sure 100%

It pains me to write a bad review for the Shannon Rose as my family and I have been coming here for years and have always enjoyed our time. We tried to give it as many chances as we could, but unfortunately we won't be back now. For starters, the place looks like it's closing down now. It used to always be packed, but now there's basically no one filling the tables. We usually sit outside and the last time we did we had to ask the waitress to turn the lights on - we couldn't see what we were eating or drinking. Our waitress was very friendly and the only reason I'm not giving one star. We got our first round of drinks okay but then we ordered a bucket of surfsides and a harp beer. Nothing complicated. We waited over a half an hour to which the waitress told us the manager wasn't sure how to ring up the bucket (it was on the menu). Two people from our party got up to check on the drinks but couldn't find anyone. We waited a total of forty minutes before we just asked for the check. This is the second time in a row we've left the Shannon rose without getting what we ordered which is a shame because we gladly would have ordered more but never got the chance. There's other great bars and places in the area that make their guests feel taken care of, and unfortunately it just doesn't feel that way here anymore. read more

We're traveling from out of town and decided to stop at The Shannon Rose for dinner on a Monday night. It was pretty empty, but honestly we ended up having such a good time. Jennifer was our bartender and server and she was AMAZING. The food was good, the drinks were great, but Jennifer really made the night. She was hilarious, super easy to talk to, and just had a really good vibe. We ended up sitting at the bar talking and laughing with her most of the night. When you're visiting from out of town, having someone make you feel that welcome really makes a difference. Jennifer definitely deserves some recognition. We would 100% come back next time we're in the area, especially if she's working! read more

It's nice Irish pub themed restaurant I gone here a few times in the past. On this visit I ordered donut holes to start they were pretty good they came with salted caramel dipping sauce which was pretty good they both complimented each other as far as flavor goes. The main course was Shepard pie with a side of Irish soda bread. The Irish soda was very good and seemed fresh. The Shepard pie itself was pretty good it was creamy and came with plenty of meat and veggies which I like. As far as service goes I was greeted and seated quickly my waiter was very attentive. read more

Visited for the first time just today. Was seated in a corner of an empty room next to a large party. Waited 15 minutes for a server but no one came to take our orders. Menu sounds great and the atmosphere seems nice but if you're going to lose patrons in the fold on a Friday night, you're going to need to do better. Happy to adjust the review if I come back, but for now, this reflects my experience. read more

Jen and Tati are truly professional and knowledgeable bartenders and its truly a pleasure to be served and to interact with them both. Thank you so very much for your excellent and efficient service. You truly are my favorites... read more

Great experience at the Happy Hour at Shannon Rose. Loved the margaritas by Jennifer.

Shannon rose is like a family welcoming environment. The staffs and managers are always so friendly and inviting ensuring you have a pleasant time.

Lana was awesome! great recommendations and service. menu is updated. we'll be back!

The Shannon Rose in Clifton is a solid Irish pub and restaurant with all the traditional Irish classics on the menu. The place is clean, welcoming, and has a good vibe. Me and a friend sat at the outside bar, where the bartender was super sweet, helpful, and attentive. We split a Tuscan big bottle of water. He ordered a burger with tater tots--both looked spot-on. Perfectly cooked tots, and when I asked how the burger was, he hit me with, 'How can you fuck up a burger?' So yeah, I'm guessing he was satisfied. I went with something I hadn't seen before--corned beef and cabbage egg rolls. Unreal. The inside was finely ground corned beef with tiny potato chunks--moist, flavorful, and wrapped in a perfectly crispy shell. It's clearly made with care and a great use of their in-house corned beef, which I'm sure is always on standby in a place like this. A+ dish. Plenty of TVs around with sports on, good service, and good food. Worth stopping in. read more
