The Celtic Tavern at Riverside Downs

I went here for fish and chips after a long bike ride on the platt. Needless to say i was not impressed.  I figured an Irish bar would have the real chips you know the thick french fries that soak up all the malt Vinegar!  NOPE i got regular ole mcd's look alike fries.  The fish was okey.  If you want true Irish food try a new place.  I even gave it a 2nd try and had the shepherds pie and again not impressed.

I would agree that the service here is not always great, however, I don't agree that it is terrible. I also think the restaurant has made a concerted effort of late to improve the overall service. The reality though is that this is not the most important thing at this restaurant. What needs to be know here is that you are going to get a good set of Celtic foods, alcohols, and music. And all of the above are excellent. I would recommend the Doublewood Scotch with the Bangers and Colcannon. Believe me, you will not regret it. Overall I would give 4.5 stars if that were an option, and my rating will go up as the service continues to improve.

Out of Guinness and a live band playing Mardi Gras style jazz music on St. Patrick's Day?! Plus, the service was pretty poor. Don't think I'll be returning
