They do have more food options during day. The lolli pop meatballs and st james potatoes are terrific. I don't know what you were expecting for pub food, but i've never had a bad meal there.
We will have to go during the day next time. Those both sound fantastic. I think we were just expecting more options other than fried fish and a few sandwiches on a Saturday night for dinner time in peak season
I think the husband has the right idea. Look at the price! Honestly, in a town like AC, where people are over charged all the time, what do you think a $12 meal was going to be? True, the food is what you find on the boardwalk. But certainly not at the price. This place was never meant to be gourmet..However, I do agree about the menu. They need to bring back the Sheppards pie. Is the pub a Saturday night out dinner place? Nope. Is it a great lunch place, or a great budget meal? Yes! Not everyone feels the need to be a high roller in AC. Maybe the wife is better suited for the casinos with her expectations...this is my honest review of your review lol
Thanks for the review. We both agreed that it’s great for the price, we just figured for how famous it is and how much people love it that in peak season at dinner time on a weekend night there would be more options. I think that’s where we were disappointed to find just fried fish and a few sandwiches. The price point is fantastic! Personally, we love authentic pub food so for us that’s a great dinner option, we don’t always want to eat in the casinos either. I think we were just hoping for a bit more options but overall the price point and the food was good.
Understood. Im a loyal regular so I'm biased lol lol. The reason why they have the shortened menu is mostly due to staffing issues. A lot of the crew are older, so the long hours are tough. Before the pandemic they had daily specials that were home cooked meals, like the Sheppard's Pie was to die for, the absolute best in the city. Unfortunately the pandemic was hard on the pub, lost a lot of long term people.... I do apologize for coming on "hot" to the review. But the reason why there's hype is that the pub is loved for so many reasons. And the food is not the main attraction. Honestly it's the people. The owners are in their 80s, and so unbelievably charitable. They rescue animals, and have given jobs and aid to so many people who have been down on their luck. Cathy donates so much time and money to various city charities. Many of the people there have been employees since the 1970s, and they all treat everyone great. I understand that you are not from the area and had no perspective. The thing is there is so much more the The Irish Pub and AC than meets the eye. The pub is a true survivor. A successful small business in AC battling against the casinos. A lot of other small businesses cant compete against the casinos. But the Irish Pub and that building have endured since 1903, the Irish pub 1972...anyway, thanks for your response. I hope you give it another shot, come for lunch and have an Irish coffee!@@TheCompleteCouple
