Mavis Winkle's Irish Pub

This place is weirdly situated in an office building, but it was just a 1/2 mile from my hotel and I saw positive reviews. The menu is eclectic. It varies from traditional Irish fare like Shepherd's Pie, regular pub food and then..."Sunflower seed Beet patty." Whaaaat? There is a a whole mini-menu of healthy options. I ordered the portabello Mushroom burger - which is ground portabello with Quinoa smushed in a patty on a wheat bun with red pepper hummus. It was OK. It wasn't mind blowing...but let me tell you what IS mindblowing: the Irish soda bread biscuits. In hindsight, my initial thought to steal them away in my purse for later was a better idea than simply NOT doing that. I guess I have never had amazingly prepared soda bread. It's usually really dry and bland. But these biscuits...Seriously. They are served warm and the exterior is hard and crunchy, and inside is melty-rich soft bread with jsut a bit of sweetness. I have never experienced anything like it...I guess the next best thing which is a distant 2nd would be the cheddar bay biscuits at red lobster.
So to sum up - menu is ok - it's not offensive. But it's not "Melt Bar and Grilled-holy Lord-that's-amazing." But go for the biscuits. just...just do it.

This place is so much fun!
I went there for the Yelp Elite event and glad I was introduced to it. I love Irish pubs in general and Mavis didn't disappoint.
Very friendly staff. The owner came and chatted with us for a bit.
We tried some of the food choices on the menu and everything was delicious. I especially loved the buffalo chicken dip, which I was told is new to the menu and I believe is on the appetizer portion.
The corned beef on top of the potato pancake was fantastic as well!
Am definitely planning on coming back. Even considering going there with kids for a family dinner sometimes.

It was my first time being here.  I dragged some of my  friends with me and told them all about this yelp event.  I couldnt find where to check in though lol.

We got seats right at the bar and were pretty stoked on the drink specials they had. 2 dollar bud lights and 2 dollar shots from the shot girls.  The bartenders were super cool and were dressed in browns attire (whooo go browns).  I didn't get to try their food, but the food from the food trucks outside were awesome.  Wasn't a big fan of the taco truck though.

The bistro trucks were good. I got some awesome Chili-mac n cheese, cupcakes, donuts, and a buffalo chicken sandwich.  The tacos were my least favorite though. Super bland no flavor tacos with under seasoned meat.

My experience here at Mavis Winkles was great though.  Atmosphere was mad fun along with a rowdy browns crowd.  Screaming and wooting as we go in for the touchdown with bells being rung in the background.  I would definitely consider coming back here for another browns game and would definitely give their food a whirl next time.
