    Im moving to Bristol in a few weeks and was out visiting the area with family looking at apartments. We ended up at Aidan's Pub for lunch, seeking quick, good grub and air conditioning. We found Aidan's Pub, which is situated 50 yards back from the harbor. Our waitress was SUPER friendly and very attentive to our quickly diminishing water cups (after coming in from 97 degree weather, we probably went through 3 pitchers of water). Everybody got something different for lunch. I went with the turkey club, which was HUGE and absolutely delicious. Their fries are thick potato wedges, which I doused in malt vinegar (every table had this) and salt.

    One thing that was a little odd with one of the dishes was my boyfriends dish; he ordered their special which was bacon and cheese sliders. He was under the impression that it would be like a BLT? but it really was just strips of bacon and an american slice of cheese on small rolls. It was a little bland for a special, but he ate it anyway.

    Aidans definitely has an authentic irish pub vibe, which was nice to find in such a nautical town - Im pretty sure this will quickly turn in to my local hang out. For the 5 of us, our bill came in around 42 dollars! SO cheap! Such great food, very affordable and very delicious. I will definitely be coming back here once I move out to the area officially. We also spotted an outside patio and an upper deck which is cover, which will be nice once the weather gets a littler cooler!

    I have frequented your establishment on many occasions. Yesterday (7/6) I brought my wife and her brother and sister and law who were in from Miami. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere as I knew they would (they all agreed it was worth the hour drive). But it was our server Jane who made it PERFECT. She added just the right amount of everything that makes it worthwhile to dine out. Please, take the time to let her know she is appreciated, VERY MUCH. I figure I told her so, but I imagine coming from you it will be better still.

    Thanks to you all. Never stop doing great things.

    Stopped by Aidan's with my fiancee and a couple of friends during the downtime between the wedding and wedding reception of another pair of friends, and I am certainly glad that we did!

    Aidan's is your classic, laid back neighborhood Irish pub. It's clearly a favorite spot of numerous local regulars, but the servers and bartenders couldn't have made a group of overdressed out of towners feel any more comfortable. The bartender came to our barside table numerous times to check up on us, joked with us from behind the bar (despite being quite busy), and gave us a hearty goodbye when we departed. Seriously, I felt like I was indeed at my own neighborhood bar.

    The inside of the bar is spacious with plenty of seating downstairs and upstairs, as well as pretty ample seating at the bar. There is also some outdoor seating, which I imagine is prime real estate during the summer season. The food menu definitely offers above par pub food with an emphasis on Irish and seafood fare, and the prices appeared reasonable. As we were heading out to a wedding reception, we opted to keep it light with an order of the spinach artichoke dip and some New Englad clam chowder ("when in Rome..."). Both dishes hit the spot.

    Given our celebratory moods and the upcoming "free" dinner we would be ravishing, we chose to focus on caloric consumption via the liquid route and Aidan's did not disappoint. They have a wide variety of micro and macro brews both on draft and in bottles. Furthermore, they definitely have a slant towards local brews, which is something I always appreciate (think Narragansett, Harpoon, Sam Adams, Mayflower, etc). They also offer a wide variety of Irish beers and Irish whiskey and scotch. Being an IPA fan myself, I opted for the Foolproof Brewing Backyahd IPA which I found to be pretty darn good (hoppy but not too aggressive and clearly with an awesome name).

    To top things off, we sat right by the digital jukebox which just happened to be loaded up with 7 free credits! For better or for worse, we took advantage and subjected the crowd at the bar to our musical whims for 30 minutes or so.

    Even without control of free music, Aidan's would definitely be a spot I'd stop by should I find myself in Bristol, RI again!

    well, color me surprised.  i have been popping into aidan's when i'm in bristol for many years now, and the pub i found yesterday is a far different one than the one we've always...settled for.  being the holiday weekend, it was packed but no worries. we wiggled up to the bar and were served quickly by the friendly and efficient bar staff.  i worked my bar magic and secured us seats from guests who were preparing to leave.  there was a lively session of live irish music being played and the overall vibe was merry.  i was starving, as i put it at the time, "hungry enough to eat at aidan's". when i looked over the extensive menu, i could see it was much evolved since my last visit. i ordered 3 clam cakes, priced at $2.00. i absolutely love this thoughtful option, i can't eat more than 3 in a sitting anyways, and it was a treat to be able to order just a taste. they were crispy on the outside, soft and dense on the inside and well filled with tender pieces of clams.  i also ordered a fish reuben, which was dressed with cole slaw rather than kraut. my friend ordered (yikes) an 8 oz top sirloin steak. priced at 13+change, i was tentative. for and upcharge of $2 he substituted a scallop and bacon chowder for his starch. our meals arrived more quickly than i expected given the crowd. i am a big believer in details, and that is what i noticed first.  the rye bread in my sandwich was beautifully grilled to golden on both sides. the peices of tasty cod were sliced so that the sandwich was easily manageable, and were well cooked.  the fresh half-moon shaped pub chips were hot and perfectly cooked.  my friend's steak was cooked evenly to a perfect medium rare, and, while not the caliber of grass fed beef i am accustomed to, was tasty and a good value. the chowder was thick and delicious, could have been a tad hotter, but tasted so good it didn't matter. across the board everything was properly seasoned and thoughtfully prepared. the bartenders were really nice too, you could tell the staff enjoys working there.  if you haven't been to aidan's in a while, pay them a visit. you might be pleasantly surprised.

    Great place to eat! We're not locals so on a whim we decided to stop by and check them out. So glad we did. The service was great (thanks Lindsey!) and the food was very good. We ordered Crab Cakes as an appetizer and Chicken Pot Pie for a main course. Comfort food on a cold, rainy day.

    The restaurant seems like a well loved eatery for the locals and the prices are very reasonable. Although it wasn't originally our first choice for dinner (Quito's was closed), we would not hesitate to eat there again.

    Awesome food! Especially for an Irish Pub. Chicken pot pie, Fish N' Chips, Buffalo Chicken Wrap, Chicken Fingers.... all amazing! Great service/atmosphere. Can't wait to come here during the summer and sit on the great patio!

    faaaaaaantastic fantastic place. amazing, filling, warm, down-to-earth bar food. laid back but genuine service, tvs all around. i wish this place was closer to home! had their corned beef and cabbage, ribs with cole slaw and mashed potatoes, beers, and new england stuffies. side note: we ordered two orders of stuffies (meaning we should've gotten four. <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aidanspub.com%2Fmenu.pdf&s=e091938fc0107b8dee571a0fce91f9ba39e0f6abc415991231191af634f2235c" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.aidanspub.com…</a>) and we only got one order and were still charged for two. i took this up with the bartender/server and she insisted there's only one per order. if she wasn't so great the rest of the night i'd have fought for it, silly girl, i actually wanted her to take it off but leave the credit card charge and add it to her tip. watch your stuffies bill ladies and gents.

    Anytime we bring guests out in Bristol we take them here. Great environment, good crowd, good appetizers (try the mozzarella sticks), good prices, lots of tv's and a great outdoor scene in the summer.

    A nice laid back environment in comparison to some of the more "upscale" bars in the area.

    Great bar, but I think the food is hit and miss,and expect to pay 75 cents  for tomato and 75 cents for lettuce extra on a burger. The food is average at best, as far as a bar goes above average.

    When still at RWU for undergrad, I found Aidan's to be a great alternative to some of the nearby options for pubs if you also wanted to eat a good dinner. It's not also a dance hall like the nearby popular spot Gillarys, but if you're looking to sit and eat, it's a good option.

    Aidan's has a very dark and appropriately Irish pub feel. The wood paneling and decor feels more authentic than what usually passes for an Irish pub these days. I would go there most of the time with other seniors from my program (go RWU VARTs!) and our professors and it was always a good time.

    Their food was very New England meets Irish pub fair: burgers, sandwiches, soups, salads, seafood, pub curry, etc. Many Irish pubs will call themselves so and deck themselves out with cheesy 'Irish' decor and then not provide a single Irish thing on the menu besides Guiness. It's refreshing to see that Aidan's actually tries and the menu has a fair amount of options that are probably Irish-American, but I'm satisfied by that. The burgers, soups and entrees I've had were all filling, tasty, and good to wash down with a nice beer.

    The service was friendly and appropriately timed. No complaints.

    Overall: Aidan's is a satisfying, enjoyable place to meet up with friends for a drink and a good meal. If you're a student in Bristol, give it a try instead of some of the other more popular places!

    Consider me a fan of Aidan's Pub.

    I went one dreary Saturday afternoon in late September after watching my nephew's rugby match at RWU.  I actually found Aidan's with help from Yelp!

    I split some wings with my nephew & DAMN if they weren't solid.  They only have 2 sauce selections (BBQ & Buffalo) but were very flavorful.  The wings had plenty of meat & were cooked perfectly all the way through.  I'm picky about my wings but they nailed it.

    I also tried their clam chowder & it was pretty amazing.  I like my chowder nice & creamy & Aidan's didn't disappoint.  My chowder was thick & tasty the way it should be with just enough clam & potato.  

    My 3 year old was with us & had a grilled cheese (pretty much all he eats) but he wasn't that hungry.  The french fries that accompanied his sandwich were thin sliced & cooked just right.  I'd like to try the fries on my next trip.

    Aidan's is an Irish Pub so they also have beer!  Their menu had 88 beers if I'm not mistaken.  They had a few pumpkin beers on tap (Southern Tier & Shipyard) but I opted for Harpoon Octoberfest & Wolaver's organic oatmeal stout which were good choices.  My nephew had a Narragansett lager & a bomber of Southern Tier's Earthy IPA.

    Aidan's is a cozy authentic Irish Pub with great beer selection & food.  I can't wait to try it again on future trips to Bristol.

    I will never go back. All of the reviews for Aidan's were good so my husband and I decided to go.  We sat outside, our waitress came out took our order and we never saw her again. I got the special rib eye steak and my husband got a cheese burger. His dinner was good but  After 3 bits of my steak the rest was FAT.  I would have ordered something else but since my waitress never came back I didn't get the opportunity.  Needless to say I spoke with the manager and had my food taken off the bill. I wouldn't have been so mad if our waitress had just come by once during the 45 min we were there and asked how everything was.  Horrible service!

    Great location right in downtown Bristol, this place delivers, we had a few drinks here and decided to do a cup of chowder. It was around lunch time and the chowder is great. Thick but not too thick and they dont shirk on the clams/potatoes (hate ordering clam broth). Great mix in the crowd of young/middle aged and even a few families. This place has a nice deck outside that id like to try at some point looks like a great view to enjoy a drink feel the summer sun. During night though it is a bar so yeah kids probably shouldnt be there past 7 or so, put em to bed get a sitter and swing by Aidan's.

    In this part of town it seems like every eatery is way too loud for conversation and only supplying red solo cups for drinks. So Aiden's is a very nice surprise. Tables on a patio with a crowd that is nicely relaxed. An outside bar. Indoors, a dark wood pub feel and sports on tv near the bar. Classic rock playing. Very personable, down to earth servers.
    Food and drink:
    Fries and curry sauce: yum-- fat, fresh, disc-shaped fries and a nice thick dip. The shape and texture of the fries was the best part of that, made you wnat to bite into it.
    My dining companion got a reuben and it looked awesome.
    I got a vegige burger and it was good- a lot of times they frankly suck.
    The cole slaw was very good- very thin sliced cabbage, a sweetish sauce, and not too drippy.  I loved it, and that's a speical love of mine.
    LOTS of specialty beers of the menu.

    Not an amazing, close-your-eyes-in -delight-upon-tasting food place, but it has a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere and a menu for nights when you want a big, chomp- into- it sandwhich and a beer.

    Love the atmosphere! We are Bristol locals and come often for bar food and drinks...

    Food is pub fair -- you'll need to be in the mood for that and it will definitely hit the spot. Drinks are fairly priced. Great service all of the time. LOVE the fireplace in the winter -- and the winter drink menu!

    Definitely go!

    My boss loves this place and has had us get lunch here in the past.  About three years ago, I ordered the corned beef sandwich, and it was disgusting.  The meat was dry and chewy and not tasty at all.  About a year later, I took a work guest there who ordered a hamburger.  He found a white hair in the burger.  When he called the waitress over, she exclaimed "Ugh!  That doesn't look human!"  Um....gross!  So, I never went there again.

    Unfortunately, my boss still loves the place and insisted we go there for the past two weeks for lunches to say goodbye to staff who are leaving.  Last week, I ordered a New England clam chowder and a reuben with sweet potato fries.  We had calamari for the table.  The calamari is okay, but a bit greasy.  The clam chowder was extremely creamy and didn't have much chowder in it.  The reuben was okay, but again, the corned beef was dry (but not as bad as the first time).  

    This week, I ordered the lobster roll, which is a summer special.  I have to say, the lobster roll was amazing.  It is much larger than traditional rolls in an oversized bun.  The bun was toasted just right with just the right amount of butter.  There was a generous amount of lobster meat, and it wasn't doused in mayonnaise.  I have to say it was one of the better lobster rolls I've had in the state.  I had the sweet potato fries and tried a co-worker's pub fried.  The pub fries are nothing exciting, but the sweet potato fries are crispy and tasty.

    So, perhaps Aidan's has gotten better than it was years ago, but not too much better.  Co-workers claimed that the fish reuben was delicious.  Except for the lobster roll and maybe the fish reuben, everything else seems to be just okay.

    This is my favorite bar in Bristol, Rhode Island.  The food is just okay.  I would suggest a Burger or something, but the atmosphere and beer selection is great.  The crowd is mixed and it is usually packed.  I enjoy happy hour here and if you want a good laugh visit on Karoke night (Thursday).  A lot of college students from Roger Williams visit and then a mix of locals.

    I definitely recommend this place for a great drink and service.

    I ate there with the family based on a friends recommendation.  So sorry I did as there are other restaurants in Bristol that are so much better.  First off, we ordered our drinks and the cups were small and I knew that we'd be chasing the waitress for refills.  We ordered the potato skins as an appetizer, it came to the table and there were only three.   That seemed odd, and they were nothing special.  I ordered the Black Angus Sirloin for my entrees and ordered it medium.  It was delivered to the table well done.  They offered to cook a new one, but I said no because I didn't feel like waiting 25 minutes while my family ate.  The only reason that I gave the place two stars is because my wife enjoyed her fish Reuben sandwich.  I'd pick some place else if I were dining out in Bristol again.

    I visit Rhode Island at least once a year and every visit I go to Aidan's. I love the place, it is one of my favorite places in Bristol if not Rhode Island. The food is always good and I love the beer selection. I loved the old Aidan's and I am still loving the new space. Parking is always a little tight but I'm from LA and I guess that is my problem. I love the patio in warm weather! I look forward to my next visit to RI and my next visit to Aidan's.

    Easily the best beer selection in East Bay. They also have an extensive menu and they are open late (at least late for Bristol). They often have live music.

    We were here on a Friday night, took up a table for six while waiting in vain for the fifth member of our party, ended up just the four of us after waiting for more than half an hour and the staff still was wonderful and attentive.

    Many restaurants would not have been so patient.

    The waitress was young and energetic and properly attentive.  Though seemingly a bit inexperienced, she worked hard and we had no reason to be unhappy with the service, especially considering the earlier mentioned issues.

    The food:

    I had a cup of New England clam chowder that was pretty good but no different from any other place in Bristol or in New England for that matter.  It was tasty, thick, a good number of clams and the potato's were firm but not under cooked.

    I had the baked cod with vegetables.  This was a large serving of fish, properly cooked, still nice and moist and the bread topping had a satisfying crunch and did not overwhelm the fish.

    My friends both had the Fish and Chips and each serving would have easily fed two.  They reported that the fish was fresh, the batter was crisp and not greasy and the Pub Fries were delicious.

    My son had the burger and said it was exactly as he asked for it, medium rare with a nice crust from the flat top.

    This restaurant goes on our recommended list to be sure.

    This Irish bar in the heart of downtown Bristol is probably the only bar I actually like going to in Bristol. Especially in the spring and summer when the outside deck and bar is set up. IMO they have above average food for a pub, and I especially love the authentic Irish dishes on St. Patrick's Day.

    The prices on the menu is actually reasonable. My first time here I was surprised by how much of a selection they have. Now keep in mind that this is a prime social spot for college students being that Roger Williams is right down the road, but honestly it doesn't bother me as it seems to attract s decent crowd.

    So if you are out to just chill for just a few drinks or for a meal, I think Aidan's is a cool spot to check out.

    Who needs Newport when you have Bristol. Went to Aiden's Pub on Sat. nite and it was just what I needed. A real IRISH PUB, with outdoor seating over looking the bay. The PUB looks great, and the GUINNESS was smooth and cold. I ordered the SHEPARD PIE. It was fantastic. One of the best SHEPARD'S PIES i have ever had. I also tried the LOBSTER ROLL for $14.95 you can't beat the price. It was on a buttered roll the NEW ENGLAND WAY.
    I say if you live in the BRISTOL area and are a fan of PUBS you got to try AIDAN'S. Great BEER, FOOD, & Location.

    Awesome bar winter or summer (decks) food choices are pub based but the specials are always good.  Great place to eat and or get a pint.  Sunday late afternoon irish music great.  Highly recomend the shepard's pie with a pint on a cold winter day.

    Met my wife here and that wasn't even on the menu waht more could you want.

    Aidan's is one of my favorite places to come on Sunday afternoons during the summer. I love that you can sit outside on the deck and enjoy ice cold drinks and decent pub fare. Fridays and Saturdays tend to get pretty crowded, but Sunday afternoons are perfect for watching the sun set over the bay and hanging out with a group of friends. The staff always seems to be friendly and attentive, even when it's busy, and will help accommodate larger parties. They have a great selection of bottled and draft beers, my favorite being the blueberry ale by Sea Dog.

    As far as the menu goes, the clam cakes and chowder are pretty good, but my absolute favorite appetizer is their stuffies. I've made it a point to try stuffies all over Rhode Island and these are by far my favorite! They're always full of flavor, have big chunks of clam, and come hot out of the broiler with a nice crispy exterior. I think they're great with a squeeze of fresh lemon and a little hot sauce. Yum! Burgers and salads are decent, but I once tried a vegetarian sandwich special that had cucumbers, heirloom tomatoes, and a garlicky mayo on toasted wheat bread that was heavenly (and I'm not even a vegetarian).

    Bottom line: come to Aidan's for the friendly service, great view, cold brews, and of course the stuffies, and you won't be disappointed!

    I first came to Aidan's while they were temporarily housed at Judge Roy Bean's a few years ago, they've since finished remodeling and relocated back to their original spot. The restaurant looks terrific, they've got a great atmosphere going on with live Irish music, a huge real, non-gas fireplace, and everything is furnished cheerfully and warm. So I really enjoyed that.

    However, I'd have to say that my Aidan's experiences those few years back were much more delicious than the one I had the other night, I'm disappointed! Service was a little slow, but they were busy and it was a holiday weekend. Our waitress forgot our drinks twice.

    One of the highlights of all the previous meals had been their clam chowder (New England, not Rhode Island) so I ordered a cup, but it wasn't as flavorful and thick as before. We also had the clam cakes as an appetizer but they were extremely doughy and didn't have a lot of clam in them, yet the tartar sauce that came with was quite tasty, with lots of fresh herbs and a little kick to it. I had the chicken Caesar salad for my entree, but the chicken smelled AWFUL and had a funny taste to it. Their grill is in desperate need of a thorough cleaning and scraping. It was too bad because the chicken was perfectly cooked, nice and juicy. I didn't want to send it back because it would have taken forever (our waitress was overwhelmed) so I pushed the chicken to the side. Despite the meat stank, the salad itself was decent, not great but not terrible.

    Overall, I'd be slightly less keen on returning there for a meal again, but I'd still give them another shot based on prior excellent experiences. The atmosphere is a huge plus, so I'd definitely come back for that! I'm giving it three stars because the first few times there were so wonderful, despite the junky recent one.

    This was one of my favorite spots years ago. They opened when I was in college (now that I'm watching that date sadly getting farther and farther away) and I've been going since. It used to be a real cool old Irish Pub - very genuine with lots of character. Since it was renovated, I can't say I like it as much anymore.

    The additions outside and upstairs are nice, but he should have left the original bar and dining area alone - maybe a paint job and some good cleaning, but left all it's character in place. Now it's chopped up in the bar area with a full wall for the hall and bathrooms, and less seating. Door to the new room (old porch which we miss) has been moved. The bathrooms should have been moved elsewhere and hall should have never been put in - maybe a different location for the second door to the kitchen for easy access. Also the unique dark wood that also gave it the Irish character is gone and now is generic light wood. It's also turned into a more college disco hangout which deters a lot of the local people. Upstairs that wouldn't be a problem, but it's the entire place after a certain hour. I can't say a lot of the people that I know used to go disagree with me.

    The food is still very good. People who complain about it (unless their meal was genuinely bad), should not be going to a PUB to eat! it's pub food! What do you expect - Caviar and Dom Perion? Service is usually very good and friendly waitstaff. All in all it's "not bad", but just not as good as it used to be "atmospherically and clientele". Go for good food and drinks, but don't stay too late unless you like the rowdy college crowd. That always existed, but now it is mostly just that after a certain hour.

    This was my husband's hangout when he lived in Bristol, and I can see why! It's a lovely spot, great seating indoors and outdoors, with tons of food and beverage options. Fair prices, great staff, good prices.

    We stopped in on a Sunday and were happy to find a live Irish band playing. The place was packed and it was a happy time all around. I've been in Ireland and tried to find something along these lines - drinks, band, happy people, singalongs, etc. - but failed. How fun to find it in tiny Bristol!

    Nice little pub with great food!

    Aiden's in awesome in the summer to sit outside. They set up a bar outside when the weather is nice at night time. The prices are reasonable, and the food is decent.

    The sweet potato fries are my favorite. They have a long list of beers, so if you are a beer lover check Aiden's out. They even have 2 yearly beer fests where you can sample different ales.

    Aidan's Pub is my spot. It's a great place in the winter because they always have the fire blazing and it's a great place in the summer because they have a large deck and beautiful views.

    The food is pretty good, nice Irish selection and some really good burgers. They have a large list of beers and some really nice and unique brews on tap that are constantly changing.

    I really like this place and me and my college buddies would love going hearing before beginning our weekend festivities. The only knock I have on Aidan's is its a bit pricey for college kids.

    I was in Bristol for the weekend for a wedding.  We walked down to Aidan's from our B&B and were very pleased with what we found.  It has a great Irish pub feel with the bonus of excellent outdoor space to enjoy the seaport town feel.  

    Sat outside for dinner and had an excellent dish of curry chicken with rice.  Very flavorful with large portions.  I was very pleased. My girlfriend had a salad with steak that also excellent.  

    The Guinness was first-rate for those of you that are looking for a good pint.  And the beer selection beyond was outstanding.  Over 60 beers and some very good ones at that.  I give it very high marks for those looking for a good selection of beers.  It was good enough that we stayed after dinner and moved on over to the outdoor bar to watch the Sox game, enjoy some more drinks, and the outdoor atmosphere.  

    Excellent service, friendly staff, and all around a great place.  I only wish it was down the street from me rather than 5 hours away.  I would definitely be a regular.

    Best beer selection in Bristol - w/ a quality "pub style" menu.  Burgers are a solid B/B+ and the Reuben is out of this world.  Also of note are their fries - which are more like potato slices (good - if a bit different.)

    Recently renovated - they did a nice job keeping the charm of the old bar area and adding a fireplace in the adjoining room and some nice outdoor seating.  Only wish they added a bit more personality to the upstairs - which comes across a bit bland (and loud when full.)

    Sunday Irish Session is always worth a visit as well.  Good musicians & a solid pint - can't ask for much more.

    My family and I stopped in for dinner the other night.  The food came so fast that we were out of the place before we knew it.  The food was nothing special;  I had the chicken potpie, I should have gotten something else....anything else.
    Nice place, good staff, but the food was unremarkable.  Good location in the center of Bristol - go for the drinks and not for food.

    Great clam chowder, both white and clear, great fish and chips and a perfect black and tan. What more can be asked for. It's just a great place to sit and have a bowl of chowder and some general pub grub. The waitstaff is very friendly and attentive even when they are busy. They also offer nice out door seating that over looks the bay and convenient parking in a town that when busy can lack it. Make sure you get the clam chowder bread bowl and a Guinness you will not be disappointed.

    Dinner or nightcap
    The crowd is tame, not rowdy
    Tasty, filling menu

    The food here is great, especially the beef stew. It was a bit disappointing in the selection of Scotches (yeah, a minor gripe), but the bottled beer selection is decent. It's a fantastic place to come get a drink with a group to sit and talk at a table, but not so much to go and meet new people.

    I've eaten here twice now, with average food. What I'm really a fan of are the potato "chips" aka thin fried potatoes.

    Both times I've gotten the burger so I can't say I've been all that diverse, but it was OK. Not a fan of Irish bacon, so I always take it off.

    So when my husband and I walked on a sunday afternoon, I felt as though I had stepped into on of those movies that portray the Irish scene of a loud brawling bar. The new building is very well put together, pretty hardwoods and very authentic. The front bar was filled with very loud men and a handful of young women who wore heavy eye shadow and were chain smoking cigs outside the front door...I turned to my husband. and I said simply..."I am not sure that I want to stay". While I am always up for an adventure, this was my Sunday afternoon in which I wanted ot have a nice lunch in a low key type of spot. The hubby convinced me to stay and we ate in the back room.

    The food was good- our lunch consisted of Irish potato cakes with a balsaminc reduction(yum) and a burger and veggie burger respectively. It was pub food -nothing more nothing less.

    Service was attentive and efficient.

    Good, fresh beer on tap, good hearty Irish food from the kitchen, and the perfect location for a leisurely lunch on a bike trip between Newport and Providence or just from Providence and back down the East Bay bike path.
