Our meal was some of the best pub food we've ever had. The curry is magical and with fries it is certainly an other worldly experience. To heck with Franks Red Hot, we want this curry to put on everything. Then there's the claddagh burger. It's like an Irish loco moco. Memories of this combination of perfectly cooked mash potatoes, expertly seared and seasoned burger with a simply decedent gravy is enough to make me salivate while writing this revue. To round this amazing meal into an exceptional experience was our server Maddie C. They were incredibly attentive and throughout the meal continued to make sure that we had everything we needed. We can't wait to come back.

We ordered take out fish and chips for my kids and chicken pot pie for husband. Chicken pot pie was a wrinkly piece of bread in a container with a thing of soup in a plastic container…..idk what kind of chicken pot pie that is but def not normal. Also fish wasn’t cleaned correctly and had scales…..weird……burger was average but not worth the money.

Our experience at The Auld Shebeen was absolutely delightful The cozy ambiance was the perfect setting to enjoy a delicious meal on a cold day. The Guinness Beef Stew was a standout dish that warmed us to the core, offering a comforting and hearty flavor. The service was top-notch, making us feel welcomed and attended to throughout our visit. We indulged in a variety of dishes, including the baked brie, artichoke spinach dip, Cobb salad, house hamburger, beef stews, and shepherd's pies, all of which were met with rave reviews from everyone at the table. The leek and potato soup was a revelation, resembling mashed potatoes bathed in flavorful leek soup—a definite must-try that exceeded our expectations. Our experience at The Auld Shebeen was truly memorable, and we look forward to returning for more delicious meals in the future.

My sever Patrick was so lovely and attentive. Made sure my drink was never empty, answered all my questions about the menu thoroughly, and was so polite. My soup was delicious and the butter beer cocktail is phenomenal.

This is my favorite local Irish pub, authentic Irish food, warm atmosphere and large spaces (separate walk-in and reserved areas on busy days for minimal waiting) . We enjoyed the live music on St Patrick day.

We haven’t been back here for a long time so we decided to come back for a nice dinner. We ordered corned beef and cabbage and Claddagh bo porter cheeseburger. The burger had a beautiful charred beef flavor that matched perfectly with the cheese and mashed potato. The corned beef was delicious like I remembered. The presentation was lovely and the portion was just right. I noticed the pricing was extremely fair as well. The whole dining experience was superb with excellent service from Chelsea. We will definitely try to come back more often.

The food was amazing, but the servers in the downstairs bar had so much attitude. When I went downstairs none of the bartenders greeted me and I had to wait 7-10 minutes for my first drink. When I asked for a food menu, this one young dude behind the bar made it seem like I was holding him up and wasting his time. Super rude. The women were nice though.
