The Old Bag of Nails Pub - Mason

Great neighborhood bar with good drinks and excellent food. Our bartender and server were outstanding. Definitely highly recommend if you’re in the mood for a drink and launch your dinner. Their fish and chips are the best in the area.

Great place for a drink and some food. Love it

First visit to this bar where we enjoyed ourselves. The server is extremely attentive and advises the customer. I really liked the homemade onion and cheese soup and the low-fat fish and chips served with cole slaw.
A nice break in front of the screens at the top of the bar broadcasting sporting events.

Urgent Complaint Regarding Waitress’ Conduct Towards My Daughters and Other Children - Mason / OH
The waitress approached the children, who were in an area designated for photos (an area I understand is free to use). She told them they needed to leave that space, saying if they didn’t have money to pay, they shouldn’t be there, and even threatened that they would be thrown out. She did this while laughing with other customers, leaving my daughters and the other children embarrassed and ashamed. The children were accompanied by six adults at our table, and we were actively dining and consuming food and drinks.
This experience left my daughters, especially, feeling frightened and upset. I was shocked and deeply disturbed that a waitress who has previously served us and who knows we visit weekly would behave this way.
I am very concerned about this treatment. No guest, especially a child, should be subjected to such behavior. I am sharing this not only to address this specific incident but to ensure no other family has a similar experience.

Often come here for lunch with coworkers and the only reason for 4 stars is the service. Food is always good with generous portions, but everything comes out slow and you can never leave in under an hour. Highly recommend the blackened fish tacos!

Went here and the service was horrible beyond words. Server couldn't answer any questions about the menu and either lied to me or was just an idiot as my order was not what I expected based on my questions. The check was wrong 4 times. I almost felt bad for the server but then I remembered I used to be a server and it's really not that hard if you have a brain.

The food was good. The waitress was confused, maybe new. The manager was not manager material. I got a salad instead of fries. The items were the same price on the menu. They charged me a 4 dollar up charge. When I told the manager she said I don't set the price, it is what it is! Won't go back there or recommend them to anyone!

It's a pub with Booths, tables, wood decor, busy, good service, known for its seafood, but lots of other great choices!

Vegetarian options: They make the Very Best fish for the fish and chips!!! Fried mushrooms were less batter and perfect tenderness inside, tried the fried pickles, surprisingly a good treat! Very good fried food, sandwiches etc.

Dietary restrictions: Not the easiest menu to find options if you've got resttictions. As in vegetarian, low sodium, low fat.

Kid-friendliness: Family place for lunch.

Complaint Regarding Waitress Jessica Conduct Towards My Daughters and Other Children

It’s been a while since we’ve been to Bags of Nails because we moved an hour south. Their name popped up in a conversation my wife and I were having so we made plans to visit them the next day. It’s always a treat to return to a restaurant you haven’t been to for a while and find your old favorites tasting just the way you remember them. That was our experience this time around and we’re so glad we made the trip. I had a cup of New England Clam Chowder and it was absolutely delicious! We also ordered a fish and shrimp platter and were reminded just how much fish and shrimp - a lot, and it is some of the best fish around! I got a French Dip sandwich and my wife, who claims not to be a sandwich person, had to have the first two bites, and I could tell by her face and her moans that she loved it as she has before! I got a side salad which was fresh and plentiful and we took home some bread pudding with caramel sauce. A delicious experience and one that we’ll repeat over and over in spite of the hour drive!
