Very pleased with everything and the bread pudding is the best ever. Senior/kid servings are just the right size and price for those who find regular entrees too filling.

Truly an authentic Irish pub. Went there for dinner the day before St. Patrick's Day. Exceptional and huge corned beef and cabbage dinner. Had the sticky toffee pudding for desert. Sweet and very delicious.We will return to try other things on their menu.

Maybe just an off night but they were out of almost everything. Got the Reuben, corned beef was so over cooked it was barely edible. Place was almost empty and server was nowhere to be seen most the time so you couldnt even get a water refill.

Hard to find good eats in Bristol, put Kathleen’s on your list.We had the beef stew and fish and chips, both great and reasonable size portions. The carrot cake for two was definitely homemade, really good.Very good service, our server did a very nice job.We travel a lot, it’s rare that we stumble into a place that exceeds expectations, Kathleen’s is now on our go to list, enjoy !!

overpriced and small portions. We both ordered the fish and chips, when it arrived we were stunned on how little food there was! $18 for fish and chips, three nugget size pieces of fish didnt cut it for the price. The coleslaw was served in a condiment cup, same size as the tarter sauce. Looked like a child size portion! The waitress was pleasant, people sitting at bar and no one else in dining room. We wont be returning sad to say we left disappointed and hungry !

Ordered the fish & chips. The fish was dry and overcooked, the batter was a bit too thin, the chips were ok, but nothing special. The others in my group liked their meals though.

Great Irish pub. Smithwicks on tap. Delicious Irish egg rolls full of corned beef. Fish and chips was top notch. Real cod and a decent portion. Shepherd’s pie was decent, but a tad sweet for me (too much tomato paste in the meat?). Service was friendly and welcoming. All in all, a good find near our home in Bridgewater.

Cute little place! Started with a Whoopie Pie stout which I really enjoyed so I had 2 more!! Had the Salted caramel crisp wings as an appetizer, and they did NOT disappoint- the sauce was like crack! My reuben was also delicious, the corn beef was very tender and tasty. Sweet potatoes fries were awesome with the whiskey sauce.The portions are very generous, service was excellent and they played great music! I will definitely be back before I leave.
We had a nice early dinner here one day after a hike. The owners were very nice and welcoming and the food was great. We will be coming back next time we are in the area.
pretty disappointed with the food, service and for the first time in my life I actually sent a drink back because it was absolutely awful. I can stomach any alcoholic beverage no problem but this one tasted like pinesol, drink I ordered was a dark and stormy not easy to screw up but they managed to do so. We had been there a couple of months prior and the waitress we assumed was new seemed a bit scattered and unprepared, we had the same waitress this past Thursday and it was like Dejavu. The food quality has really taken a nose dive too something we brushed off a couple of months ago but to experience it again is such a disappointment. We used to love Kathleen's but now I feel like it's a Plastic Paddy's everyone should avoid.

The staff at Kathleen's Irish Pub were so accommodating & friendly! Stopped in with husband and cousin for a great dinner on Wed. There were many customers for Trivia night. We ate outside and each enjoyed our various fish entrees. Very accomodating waitress and cook to my food allergy & gluten free requests. The gluten free chocolate lava cake was AMAZING! Will gladly choose to eat here again the next time we are in the area. Want to come back to check out the Irish music session on Fri. night!

We arrived at 7:00 on a Friday night to a restaurant that was at approximately 30% capacity. We ordered two beers a water and lemonade. The waitress checked back with us a few times and took a appetizer order for cheese curds and onion rings. Our drinks arrived arrive 15 minutes later and it took close to 40 minutes for our appetizers to arrive. D (which was straight menu items no special requests) arrived around 8:15. The food was fair to good. The waitress was extremely nice and apologetic for the delays, though no reasons were given. While sitting there waiting for the food we had plenty of time to look at our surroundings and determined the cleanliness was just fair. We have eaten at Kathleen's cottage three times before and it's always been pretty good, but after this last visit I don't think we'll be returning

My wife and I went here for the first time and my wife told me that she felt like she was sitting in a pub in Britain. She noted that the feel and level of "tackiness", in a good way she said to our waitress, was just right for a true Irish pub.Our waitress Quinn, could you have a better name for an Irish pub? Was Awesome, very friendly and attentive. I had the burger with corned beef, and I took half of it home. My wife had the fish and chips, and was happy with the combo.Found out they have Irish music on Fridays, we will make the drive to check that out.
