I've been here a few times and really enjoy the live music! It can be a little loud sometimes, but it's ok! I chose the corned beef and cabbage- the portion is generous. I ate half of it for dinner and took the other half to go. I don't know much about corned beef and cabbage, but from what I'm told, having it sliced in this way is not a typical preparation. Nevertheless, I like it and it's tasty. I appreciate that I can have corned beef and cabbage here even if it's not St. Patty's!

We went for the Beer. We try to visit local breweries, we thought we were visiting a brewery. Surprised that they have a good selection of beers brewed for their restaurant. Get time, wonderful experience.

Good food. Good price Always enjoy dinner at Hailey's. Can be a bit noisy but I love my Guinness and the Bacon Blue burger with sweet potato fries. Irish fare there is tasty too so give it a shot

I usually eat in here and the food is good. today I decided to order a corned beef sandwich to go paying extra for steak fries. What a disappointment the bread was not fresh, the corned beef was sliced thin but was tough reminded me of supermarket deli meat. The steak fries were undercooked as some of the potato was raw. Very poor food. I am wondering has it changed management? Next time I will eat in and see if this was a fluke.

First timer . We were walking in metuchen and wanted to have a quick bite .. chose this place . The ambience was really good . A perfect sport bar with some soccer / English team flags . I liked the look of the restaurant inside. Parking is crazy .. we had to pay and park a few blocks away . Service was very average . There was only one waitress and once she goes to kitchen to order stuff , she disappears for 5 mins . Took time to take our orders . They have good collection of beers. Liked their IPAs . We ordered some wings and it was just ok. The sauce was kinda sticky . Wings were dry . The only thing I liked about this place is the ambience ... average experience overall

Placed an order with UBER EATS today, and yes, it's Saint Patricks' day, I get it that they're busy, but if you're SO BUSY, then don't be on UBER eats as available. They held me off for over an hour only to CANCEL the order. Thanks a lot for that! How rude and unprofessional. If you don't want to make the food or are too busy to do so, THEN DON'T GET ON UBER EATS AS AVAILABLE FOR DELIVERY on Saint Patrick's day! Simple as that. I'm sure you're aware that it's a busy day, you're not clueless, or maybe you are!

Good Irish pub with good Irish food. I love the outdoor seating area in summer. I also love the people they hire for night time music.

Pub with solid appetizers and big portions and a good spot to watch a game. Get the Irish spring rolls and mozzarella sticks. The wings and zucchini fries were fine, not as amazing as the Irish spring rolls.

Disappointed again. We have been to Haileys for lunch and the first time the burgers were warm and fries warm. Now happened again. We don't mind the long wait after ordering if the food comes out hot. Will not go again.

I only wish Hailey's was in my town. This is the Cheers like place you were looking for- super easy pub off the NJ Transit line a block away. If you have friend from NY or Philadelphia- have them take the train and meet in fun Metuchen for a day at the Greenway for a walk, a few hours at Yestercades and then a pint of cider at Hailey's- we love their blue cheese burger, Shepards pie and the many innovative specials. Great sports viewing venue - not only soccer games but also check out Live Music No parking lot but plenty of local parking at garages down the street

Me and my partner went in on a busy friday night after making last minute plans that we had to plan over. FOH staff was so kind, the food was amazing, and so were the drinks! for sure coming back with more people.

I've been here a few times over the years, and recently met college friends to watch some Big East basketball. Great pints, great food, great prices. Can't go wrong at Hailey's!

If you like a genuine Irish pub this could be the place for you. I rarely give out 5 stars so four is generally the best. I deducted a star for service. I had the Irish Spring rolls- at $10. They came in a basket and were a nice portion. Normally come with Russian Dressing I asked for mustard. I think they were all corned beef but the waiter told me pastrami as well. They were pretty good. My wife ordered the fish sandwich with chips. She liked the sandwich but the chips weren't very good. Many were chewy rather than crunchy. We were told they make them in the morning, thinking what morning?I I think the way to go is fries. The problem was the football (soccer) game on the TV. Our waiter was more interested in the game than his tables. We were interested in a couple of Irish coffees and dessert, but were discouraged by the lack of attention and finally asked for just a check. I would say the total cost would have increased by at least $20 resulting in a larger tip. I usually tip 25% for attentive service. He came in slightly above 15%. We will go back, but I'll check the soccer schedule first.

Live music and great service what else could you ask for. Great local spot in metuchen for drinks and food. Always stop in for a drink when I'm near by.
