Catherine Rooney's Reviews
The wings are definitely five star the barbarian pretzel excellent. The food fell short on the Caesar salad because any chef that uses that shake on Parmesan after advertising shaved Parmesan just rubs me the wrong way. For $14 a few nice pieces of shaved Parmesan cheese would’ve been expected. I paid $14 for some Romaine, croutons and some shake on cheese not good!
My husband and I were there at 2 pm on a Tuesday. It wasn't busy. We split a Reuben and a garden salad. There's a half pound of corned beef on that sandwich, so neither of us went hungry. The Reuben was very tasty. It came with steak fries which had plenty of salt and a nice mix of other seasonings. Our server was pleasant and was perfectly happy to accommodate our split-plate request. The bartender knows how to make a black-and-tan correctly.
Always a good lunch spot when we visit the city. Love the Irish pub style atmosphere and decor. You can sit at the bar indoors and on the outside patios with plenty of TVs to watch. The service is always friendly and fast and the food is always consistently great and reasonably priced. Feelin lucky in the city.

Catherine Rooney's has a warm, neighborhood pub atmosphere that feels inviting to all. The Guinness black & black is a highlight, and the big pretzel, fish & chips, French Onion soup, crab bisque, and pizzas are all popular options. The beer battered fish and chips are especially noted for being delicious, with flaky and tender fish. Prices are reasonable, service is good, and portions are filling. The restaurant also offers a lively atmosphere on special occasions, with live music and dancing.
The menu is more diverse than you'd expect from a traditional pub, offering everything from fish and chips to flatbreads, burgers, and shepherd's pie. The Guinness-battered fish and chips are spot on, with a golden, crispy batter and flaky interior, served with thick-cut fries and tangy tartar sauce. The Jameson BBQ burger is juicy, loaded with flavor, and comes with a side of sweet potato fries that are crisp and not greasy. The Irish nachos, house chips topped with cheese, bacon, and scallions, are surprisingly addictive.
The drink menu includes a good selection of beers on tap, Irish whiskeys, and creative cocktails. Service is attentive despite the busy crowd, and prices are on par with similar pubs in the area. Catherine Rooney's strikes a great balance between festive bar and solid dining spot, making it a favorite for both weekend outings and casual weeknight dinners.
