About The Irish Poet Restaurant Bar

The Irish Poet Restaurant Bar offers a variety of Irish fare at reasonable prices. Their menu includes options like burgers, wings, salads, and sandwiches, all of which are solid choices. The corned beef and cabbage with carrots and potatoes is a popular dish, featuring lean, thinly sliced corned beef, tasty cabbage, and red potatoes. The restaurant provides a comfortable and clean atmosphere, decorated with St. Patty's decorations and equipped with TVs for watching sports. There are options to sit at a table or at the bar, where several TVs are available depending on what sports are on. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing great service and making guests feel welcome. The food is well-prepared, with dishes like the fish and chips, which include three pieces of fresh fish on a plate of fries, and the tartar sauce made in-house with a saffron twist. The menu also features the corned beef slider and Irish spring rolls, both highly praised. Drinks are well-made, and the bartenders are friendly. The restaurant shares space with other businesses, including another bar/restaurant, and offers special events like food trucks every other Thursday. Parking can be tricky due to poor lot design, but municipal parking is available nearby. The food is outstanding, and the wedge salad with blue cheese crumbles, blue cheese dressing, bacon, tomato, and red onion is delicious. The Guinness on tap is also a good choice. The staff for parties is awesome, and everyone had an amazing time and raved about all the food. The restaurant is a spot worth returning to.

We had my wife's 40th birthday party in the private room. From the start it was such an easy planning experience. The day of staff for the party we're awesome. Everyone had an amazing time and raved about all the food. I would not hesitate to book another event here.

Not a good experience, management is rude and not helpful at all.

Best food and best service I’ve ever had at a traditional Irish bar. Friendly staff, bartenders are professional and the chef is awesome. 100% recommend The Irish Poet to everyone
