Everybody, let's take a moment and applaud, for this is my first Yelp* review! Bow if you would like, because the upcoming review will save you some money, time, and the bad experience associated with this establishment.
THE BAD:some app sizes are embarrassingly small; food inconsistent; and slow service
THE GOOD: great sized chicken tender app, great waitresses who are very friendly, has karaoke and many TV's to watch.
IN DEPTH REVIEW:
To begin, I would like to explain that I have been a frequent customer the past 6-8 months. I was immediately impressed with the half priced apps. I would get the steak tips, which are $4 half priced, and they are truly amazing. But, each month, the serving size has gotten smaller, and now you are served an embarrassingly small amount. Yes, it is an app. I understand that, but knowing the difference in serving sizes from 8 months ago to now is concerning.
The french fries. Another draw which kept me coming back. Lately, I have gone and been unimpressed because there is a 50/50 chance of getting a batch of overdone starch. The grease, which may be a problem for some, is not a problem for me.
There have been some new additions to the menu. Notably, for the appetizers, there are stuffed mushrooms and mac 'n cheese balls. I ordered the stuffed mushrooms today. They brought the dish, with 5 mushrooms the size of quarters. They were good, yes. But, for $7, the serving size was laughable. The garnish in the middle, which was lettuce or something green, does not count as part of the app. It is garnish.
My friend, who recently has been on an optimism pledge, was somehow OK with his mac 'n cheese ball being cold, clumpy, and under cook in the middle. For someone who idolizes Chef Gordon Ramsey, I was stunned by his acceptance of his app.
I understand that half priced apps can be considered a luxury for customers, slashing prices in order to gain more frequent fliers. But, the portion sizes and the inconsistency which they are served need to be addressed. Why serve these mentioned half priced apps if the portion is something comparable to a kid's menu option? Why serve half priced apps if they lower the overall experience in the pub?
Hopefully, this can be seen as constructive criticism. Hopefully.
Fun place but not a big place, cozy.Food was tasty, inexpensive and plentiful. $10 for Shepards Pie, side ceaser and delicious handmade rings and fries . Nice sandwiches and steak tips - order medium / medium rare though to avoid charring. Friendly staff makes all the difference. Live music Saturday night by a talented band. Â Found this place on Yelp and we were all pleased. Keno too.
Review Source:Real Gem off the beaten path... unless you know it's there you need to go and find this place! Â Ed is the owner and sometimes bartender, quiet and unassuming guy but takes good care of your every need while you are sitting at the bar. Â It was very busy while we were there on a Friday night and the food was excellent. Â The steak tips were delicious! Their secret marinade was really good, try the salad too - very nice.. onion rings were homemade and huge, with a beach like batter - albeit a little too greasy for my liking. Â Great entertainment without a cover charge.
Check out this place. Â Nice neighborhood bar/pub with friendly people.
Food still very good and reasonably priced, with a crazy half-price appetizer deal from 4 to 6 (every day, I believe, but definitely weekdays).
Service has improved since my last review, but can still be on the slow side. I'd add a half star for that, but still just under four stars. Â The place is usually somewhat busy, even during the week, so they're doing something right.
Lots of TVs, live entertainment on the weekend, good grub at a good price and a not-at-all sketchy crowd makes for a solid time in Methuen.
I went here last night for my birthday. I didn't feel too old there (38) which was cool. Â We got the chicken tender and quesadilla app. Â The food was excellent, not prepackaged junk. Â The bartender was the owner, he was very polite and attentive. Â
It's got a real nice pub/Irish pub feel inside. They were playing trivia and it was a decent crowd for a Thursday night. Â The owner mentioned live music on the weekends.
Definitely going back and most likely on a weekend to check out the music scene
Oh and they got keno...
