Great burgers, drink selections and outdoor seating is a bonus. Everything we've had here to eat has been very good. Cool, historical place.

Food tasted great but made a few of us sick afterwards. Service was slow, waitress came by maybe once every 30 minutes while there were only three other tables seated. Not as good as this place used to be unfortunately.

Huge disappointment this past Monday.
I spoke so highly of this place to a few friends to come in Monday and first realize there was no music outside. We asked the waitress before deciding to stay and she says yes they will have live music 7-9. We decided as a group to stay being it was 6pm.
1st, we did not get our drinks until 6:40ish and appetizers until 7:30. Yes, it took this long to get our food and when we finally did, we just packed up and left being it was 8pm. The waitress had served, offered and refilled EVERY other table around except us. When we called just the ONE time for Ranch, she continued to bring others things and checking them out to the point we had to make our way inside and find out for ourselves it was Trivia night. It was never live music night and pick up refills and Ranch ourself. The food was spectacular as always!! And we wanted to give the waitress the benefit of the doubt being she seemed to be the only one, but after seeing everyone else taken care of, we realized it was apparently us she had an issue with? Unsure why because we really didn’t ask for anything at all other than why was it so quiet outside and no music (to which she also smiled and never responded). Anyway, food was spectacular as always and hopefully things will change for a future visit because my husband and I really like this place.

The food is absolutely awesome. Caringly prepared and full of creativity. We've never had anything even mediocre. Nice tap variety as well. Staff is super friendly and make you feel at home. We visit weekly and always look forward to it!
Parking: Large parking lot. Never an issue

One of my favorite bars, the food is awesome and the atmosphere great. Bear in mind this is a cigar bar so there is smoking. Live bands on weekends and a nice outdoor area. Gets a little crazy around musikfest time.

Went to Cletic classic & figure we would try the place out. Went to the hostess and ask if since it was a Saturday and Celtic classic would reservations be needed (this wad around 1:30pm) for dinner. She said yes and she would take our info and pass it along since she was not going to be there at 4:30. We arrived a little early for our reservations. Walked up to the hostess and she blurts out there is an 1.5 hr wait. I said we'll we have reservations for 4:30. Total bewilderment and stupid look on her face. She has so.e kid seat us inside. 30 minutes later still no server has come to ask us what we want. Granted a server past by us twice and looked st us with a look of disgust on her face. Got up and left. I told the hostess the 30 minutes was way to long to wait for a server & as we past the ID stand for their beer garden I ask the 2 people there is it is customary to be ignored and not get service? Guy looks at me and goes my manager will speak to you. This guy walks up and when I say that it is unacceptable to wait 30 min for service his response was "sorry". I didn't even wait for anything else to come out of his mouth. I turned and left him. Would not recommend this place what so ever.

The service here, from the host/hostess to the server is horrible. The kids they hire have no idea what they are doing and obviously, they have not been trained. As someone who grew up
In this industry, it is highly mismanaged. I have been here several times over several years and nothing has improved. Today we were seated, after a 10-12 minute wait, by the hostess who asked as she walked past, “It's only just you two?” as if a party of two isn't worth her time. Then she seated the couple that came behind us. However, once we did get seated she did return to bring us water. At this point, we began the wait for the server who was walking around drinking a soda. 15 minutes later the server approached the table adjacent to ours and asked if anyone had taken their order. Nobody had. Then she asked us if we wanted to order a drink. I asked just to place our food order as well since we waited 10 minutes at the door, and 15 at the table. The drinks came and they were wrong. We ordered vodka and tonic. How do you screw that up? I returned them to the bar for what we ordered myself as our server was in absentia. And there were all of 5 tables seated in various stages of service. I realize this rambles but I have to wonder what the “management” expects from the public. And they could do a little work on the building. Its an effing landmark, repair it or the allure is gone.

Finally got a chance to try the food here since The Main Street Depot which was one of my favorite restaurants so the bar was already set pretty high and I have to say aside from really long wait times due to only having one server the food was absolutely phenomenal. I look forward to eating here again but next time I'll probably avoid the wait by ordering take-out.
Vegetarian options: I did see a black bean burger available
Parking: They have free parking out front and right across the street there is a pay parking lot. Both lots are pretty safe as they are both very well lit and there is usually a police presence in the pay lot ot the lot across the other street.
