If you read nothing else, be aware that they dangerously and recklessly overserve alcohol to obviously intoxicated patrons. My fiancée and I attended the Blackthorn set on the evening of Saturday, April 20th, 2024. The star in this review goes to the band – the venue deserves none. Upon being greeted and taken to seating, we were surprised and disappointed to find ourselves jammed at the end of a long family-style table. Things only got worse when our tablemates arrived. There was a group of about eight who were seated with us, very loud and noticeably intoxicated already upon their arrival. My fiancée had a drink spilled all over her by the woman seated beside her. One patron was especially...

Came for a Blackthorn show on a Sat night used to do this regularly for years, but hadn 't been back since before covid. We had a res for 4 and, instead of being seated at our own table, we were seated family style in one long table the length of the dining room, elbow to elbow with others, with 3 of us on one side and 1 of us on the other (which made conversing difficult). Whatever, we decided to roll with it. Service was solid, but the food was so disappointing. 2 of us ordered fish and chips (pan fried, fishy fish and cold potato wedges) and 2 of us ordered the perch (both reported it was not great or even warm). It was so underwhelming. The band was great, but only played for about 90 mi...
My friend suggested this, not having been in years but there were doing a limited menu. The food is so expensive (18 bucks for sliders, which are literally small cheeseburgers). We had some Guinness and went to another restaurant. Server was so nice but slow to greet us and the inside of this place is definitely more of a bingo hall or nursing home than somewhere you'd go with friends in your 30s. Theres also nothing Irish about this place. Not for me.

Susan was my server and was fantastic! You can see the heart and love that goes into your food here. The food was locally sourced, offering many organic options and delicious! I can’t wait to return to try more things!
It was quiet and late, we were treated so beautifully by Susan our server! She was so amazing and funny! Our food: fish and chips and O'Mara"s chicken were perfect and bread pudding was outstanding! Nice atmosphere
People are really nice and they care alot about the food. Manager even sent us home with some free rolls. Great live music spot and good little hide away for a little drinky poo :
Fun, casual place. The owner is quite a character and takes the time to meet his guests, especially if the guests are a large group of Irish relatives!

Much reduced menu from before their fire. The food was good, but they didn't have what we came for.
Great place. We have come since the beginning and will do so in the future.
