Hailey's Harp and Pub

There are no good fish and chips left in England. It's a fact. (hate me now).
I am hard to please when it comes to fish and chips - that's a fact too.
Last one: Hailey's Pub Fish and Chips with Tartar sauce made me swoon. Seriously. Darn. Good.
Add live music and good drinks - perfection.
Who knew?
Will definitely come back next time I am in Jersey.

I'll start out this review by saying that I have always been a fan of Irish Pubs.  I came here today with a friend.  The place was pretty empty when we came in (around 1:30) so we were able to sit at the bar.

A staple that I have when coming to a pub, always start off with a Harp.  My friend had a red cider.

For appetizers we had jalapeno poppers and fried pickles.  Both had a nice little kick, I think the pickles because of the dipping sauce.

For lunch, I had a Reuben sandwich on toasted rye with spicy mustard.  The rye was actually dipped in whiskey (just a touch).  My friend had the Shepard's Pie which he said was very good.

The place was empty enough that one of the owners named Kevin came up, said hello and offered us a sample of a Scottish ginger ale called Crabbie.  The bartender named Jackie, explained about the ale and different ways that you can make drinks with it.

I can definitely see myself coming here in the fall for football games and will have to bring the wife the next time.
