One of my favorite places for a day out with my friends. I’ve been going there for over 20 years and have always had a great experience.

I gave Atmosphere a five because I love old school bars. Great place for a cold beer and good food ? If you have your pinky in the air this place is not for you.

I came by for a night stopover for my trip back from RI to Atlanta. Friendly bartender. He cooks me a good steak and then talks me up on the LLWS. Cheap drinks, local company and good food. 5 stars. Oh yeah. Cash only.

On the recommendation of another Yelper we stopped in here on the first Thursday of the month for their corned beef night. They were right. This is some very good corned beef. You can get it as a dinner or sandwich. If you want fries with the sandwich, order them as a side.From the beginning: located at the intersection of W. Shore road and Sandy Bottom, it's easy to pass. There is a sign on the side of the building that states Whalen Pub in letters too small to really notice. You have to be looking for this spot.There is some parking behind the building and on street in the neighborhood behind. A big empty lot next door has 'do not park' signs all along their border w/ the pub property, but everyone seems to park there.It was Super busy when we arrived around five pm. Every bar stool was filled, as were the high tops and all but one low top. One barkeep (Jaimie) was holding down the fort on her own and somehow making it all work. Well done. The regulars went up to the bar to order their drinks. About 6pm a waitress showed up to take table orders. The food came out pretty quickly. Thin sliced, lean corned beef over a mound of cabbage with onion, carrot and potato on the side. We were offered mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper and butter for the meal. We used them all. This is a very well prepared, brine-y, tasty meal. Cash only, they have an ATM on site in case you don't know. The ATM charges three fifty per transaction. We did not get a receipt for our order but were told our one beer, one cocktail and two dinners came to thirty-eight dollars.This is very much a neighborhood dive bar. About 6:30 it became a country music dive bar I'm guessing due to the juke box. Restrooms, right off the dining area are acceptable. Staff are busy and nice.

I usually go on St. Patrick's day for their dinner. Most places offer a cornbeef sandwhich only. I've been there now 3 years in a row for their dinner. The first 2 times with my husband and while waiting had a drink which was made superb. This past year, I went alone because some people think affairs are the new norm. The food was still great. Thank you, The Whalen, for being the one consistent thing in this woman's life. ?
Great local
