Classic LI Irish Joint. Great pub fare food, welcoming atmosphere, and great staff. Top notch pint of Guinness. Poured with care looking like a bishop's collar!

Attended a large party at the Irish Poet for my establishment's annual holiday party. For apps, there were chafing dishes of chicken tenders, wings, and pigs in the blanket. I preferred the chicken tenders as the wings and pigs got a bit soggy. Then we were presented with mains: salad, penne a la vodka, chicken franchise, and sliced steak (almost like pot roast), along with roasted potatoes and mixed vegetables. The highlights were the steak, potatoes, and vegetables. Most dishes were lukewarm at best. I like my salad dressing on the side, and a thicker vodka sauce. The salad had so much dressing it wilted the lettuce. For dessert, Italian cookies were served but there were hardly enough to go around. I realize a lot of people skip dessert but it wasn't a good look to be short. Overall, I think a few adjustments to the food should be made in the future. That being said, Amy was a fantastic server. In fact, all of the staff/bartenders were attentive, taking orders, and cleaning up.

This is a great Irish bar to watch a game (watched the Jets lose as they often do) and to catch up with friends. It was absolutely mobbed when we went but the bartenders and staff kept up with all the craziness.

Great place to meet up with friends. Plenty of space, the TVs have all the games on and the service is spot on. Met up with a group to celebrate a birthday. Plenty of convenient parking too. Will definitely be back there

The hamburgers need to be updated to real chop meat. The are very large and full of filler....tasteless. Tiny piece of lettuce & tomato. Very disappointed..I was told how great the burgers were. Presentation was very good...service was very attentive.sweet potato and sauce was very taste...

I wish I could give this restaurant 10 stars! So glad we found it! Been there 2x and plan to make this our regular spot! The food is delicious and both times our server Justine was incredible.The second time we came she not only remembered our names but remembered our drinks!!!!Can't wait to try more menu items. The atmosphere is fun and friendly. Look forward to coming back.

Had a great time here. Food was great. Ordered hot wings, mozzarella fritta, and sliders. Everything was great. Paul was our bartender and he was fantastic. He was very prompt with our drink orders and he knew the shelves well. He was very knowledgeable about the different spirits offered. Will definitely come back.

I am a camp counselor and my bus had to pull over for a camper that had a bathroom-emergency. The staff were beyond accomodating and made the whole experience super efficient and less stressful!
