We ordered delivery from grub hub and the driver was prompt food was warm. The food was amazing! I ordered the crab cake on a pretzel bun , no filler and probably the best I have had! Boyfriend had the stew and loved it! Highly recommend

Got here late with some friends so I didn't get to try the food, but of course everything else was wonderful. The staff were friendly- very becoming of a cozy pub.

I remember this as one of my favorite Irish pubs around. I was just there today after 14 years away. The highlights I would recommend are the boozy coffee drinks and the salmon entree. Good service!

First time coming here on a whim. We sat in the downstairs bar area. The bartender, Ethan, I believe his name was (I could be totally wrong but he had long hair in a pony tail) was extremely pleasant and took great care of me and my friends. I was very impressed with his service and attention to detail.
I deducted a star based on how long it took for the food to come out. I ordered wings and my friend ordered the shrimp/bread appetizer. I’d say our food took about 20-30 minutes to come out and when it did, the food was just okay. As someone who has worked in the food industry, I understand the number of factors that go into why food may take longer than normal to come out, so I do have sympathy on that end.
Overall, I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for great service who isn’t in a rush to eat and leave. Shoutout to Ethan for providing phenomenal service!
Went to O’Lordans for daughter’s 18th bday!! Waitress was so nice with a warm Smile on her face!! Made sure we never ran out of water. Food was big portions and everyone went home with a box with leftovers. Yummy food!! Mash potatoes were warm and buttery garlic taste. Had to mix them up to get them soft as velvet, but they were delicious. We highly recommend O’Lordan’s 🍀 🍀
Very cool pub. I had the shepherd's pie and it was 10/10. Had a great conversation with the bartender who was very attentive and made sure I was taken care of.

We visited here to enjoy a nice dinner before traveling back to Baltimore from a conference in PA. It had good reviews, and the photos were highly influential because we wanted some good stew and pub food.
THE ATMOSPHERE The place has an Irish pub theme and we thought we would sit downstairs. But our server took us up to a quieter upstairs without the music and tvs. We had called ahead to reserve seating since it seemed popular according to Google and what others had said in their reviews.
Upstairs was a different vibe than downstairs. It was less 'pub'y and more like a casual dining setting complete with painted walls and decor connected to Irish lor. The tables and chairs were set in sets that weren't just mismatched, but they weren't all the same. There were some tall bench backs and little alcoves to be able to host small groups of 10-15. It made the space feel more intimate even though they could easily serve 60-80 people in this upstairs space. The pictures show it better than I can describe it. I loved the space (except the floating mantel above the fo-fireplace).
We were seated in a high-back bench that seemed more like a loveseat with a 5' back and arms. It was its own alcove and probably the place of more than a few make-out sessions, or naps from students of McDaniel College who stayed up too late. The photos illustrate this phenomenal piece of furniture, and there was another just like it in the space behind us. It also felt like a special VIP throne that you might see in movies. However, the cushion wasn't as cushioned as it looks, and that's definitely more in favor of the restaurant so that people don't get too comfortable.
There was a room in the middle with several wooden Lords chairs at the back wall and others in front to give a more 'Lords & Ladies' feel to this alcove.
THE SERVICE We engaged with 3 staff. The hostess greeted us warmly and after taking our name and reservation, she brought another young lady to us who would take us upstairs. Once seated, she gave us the menus and walked away. Our server was a young man. He was also serving a large party nearby of what appeared to be 2 young families catching up. He handled them well, as they were well into their meal when we arrived.
He helped us with our order, providing answers to our questions and then bringing the food out in a timely manner. He wasn't sure how to respond to our "it's interesting ?" comments with the food.
THE FOOD We ordered the Brown & Ton onion rings, which were the best thing that we ordered. The breading wasn't too thick or too crunchy. The horseradish sauce was amazing.
Then we also ordered the Shepherd's Pie, and the Beef & Guinness Stew. And a Dirty Rum to enjoy the food with. The drink was delicious. The Shepard's Pie was underwhelming and unorthodox with how much tomato was in it and how little mashed potatoes were present. We're from the Midwest, so our expectations were different. The presentation was great. The flavor was... interesting ?. It was worth trying once, but won't be our choice when we return (there were more things in the menu that looked equally appealing, but we can only eat 1 meal at a time).
The Beef & Guinness Stew was thicker than I expected, but it wasn't as lacking as the Shepard's Pie.
We ended with ordering a chocolate bottomed creme brulee, and the Apple Bread Pudding to go. We were so stuffed when we left.
It was a fun adventure and we'll probably be back again to try other menu options.
Parking: Parking for us was in a garage next to the restaurant. By day it's paid parking, but at night it's free.
