Staff and Service

Pros:

Cons:

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Menu was very good, lots of choices."
  • "The Pils was one of the best I ever had in the USA."
  • "This bar is everything an irish bar should be, good whiskey, great bar food, and amazing staff!!!"
  • "Fish and chips were on point. Delicious!"
  • "Both the Pepperoni Pizza and later the Gaelic Burger were delicious!"
  • "Food was hot and tasty."
  • "The ribs were outstanding. They were perfectly cooked and the sauce was terrific."

Cons:

  • "Food was not that great, expected more with the reviews. My cheeseburger had no taste."
  • "The chicken was cubes of tough & rubbery meat, that I imagine came from a can."
  • "Just don't get the 'giant pretzel' it's not a pretzel. It's basically a huge amount of pizza dough that doesn't even taste that good."
  • "The supposedly medium well burgers were extremely dry they had been cooked so long."
  • "Food was disgusting. I ordered their weekly flatbread with spinach and artichokes and mozzarella to get spinach artichoke dip on large pitas chips with copious slices of mozzarella on top."
  • "The fish and chips was pre-portioned pre-breaded overcooked sub-gortens type frozen seafood."
  • "The food was forgettable (or maybe unforgettable is a better description)."

Atmosphere and Location

Pros:

  • "This is THE PLACE TO BE for that authentic sports bar/pub experience."

Cons:

  • "It's loud and certainly not like any Irish bar I've been to stateside or otherwise."
  • "We called and spoke to the manager who never apologized and took down the information."
  • "Constant cold breezes through the front door necessitated my wearing my coat throughout dinner."
  • "Unfortunately the receptionist was extremely rude - was just trying to come here for a nice drink with my date - and I 'cut' in front of the receptionist at the door."
  • "Not a good place to eat if you want to hear the person you’re with!!"
  • "The music was turned up a little too loud for me on a Saturday at 11am but over all a fine dining experience."
  • "Not really much of a pub, plays Hispanic music and serves sushi."

Value

Pros:

  • "Sean's serves great food at great prices, has a fun atmosphere, and the service was excellent!"

Cons:

  • "Just the standard adding of the (high) gratuity charge to the bill was a bit weird."
  • "Before you pay BEWARE of the TIPPING suggestions they put on their receipt."
  • "BE AWARE - certain wait staff add more to the tip after you sign the receipt and leave the bar."
  • "Sparkling water was probably brought from tap (so it should not be 4$, should be free or 1$)."
  • "Also check your receipts make sure they didn't already include a generous tip. :) you've been warned."
  • "I felt that what we ordered it was a bit high."
  • "However, like many places here, I dont like when someone decides how much the customer has to tip."
