Kavanaugh's Irish Pub and Grill

This was my favorite neighborhood bar for a while. Close to my house, great food, decent prices, 24 hour. I've been here to eat or drink  5 or 6 times since I moved to North town last month. However today I went in with some friends and wasn't impressed. There were only 4 other people in the entire building and the bartender said to sit wherever we like in the dining room. We sat down and waited 15 minutes for a waitress/bartender to come by. Eventually I decided to walk over to the bar and just ask for menus myself. The bartender, however, was too busy playing on her phone and showing pictures to one of the other patrons to even acknowledge that she had customers. After being ignored for another 5 minutes we all decided to leave and go eat somewhere else. Way to lose a regular customer.

I can recall when this placed opened years ago and was one if the few restaurants in the area.  As the neighborhood has grown I had decreased going here, and had probably not be in, in about four years.  In the last week I had gone in twice.  My first experience was during the NBA playoffs where I had some pretty good potato skins (insanely huge) and a coupe drinks.  The atmosphere was a little divey and dark, but cool for the game.  After this great experience I decided to try it again at happy hour, which was listed on their website as occurring between 2-7 M-F.  When I walked in it was pretty empty the bartender was talking to another customer and finally decided to acknowledge I was there.  When I asked for the HH menu he seemed a bit taken aback.  He mumbled a bit and said management no longer was offering HH, and he didn't know what was going on.  I left after this.  How can a local bar have absolutely zero HH?  If this is the case remove it from your website.  The prices are a bit high here food wise so not necessarily worth another visit.

Great food and friendly service. Can't beat it for a nice neighborhood spot.
