Corner bar/restaurant with separate food area. Prices were reasonable. Not many places to stand and watch the entertainment. Crowded on weekends and tough to get a drink. Didn't eat but heard food was good from friends.Seem family run. Might return if we like the music scheduled

Met our kids here for our granddaughterâs 4th birthday celebration. It was my first time eating here. I loved the laid back atmosphere. We had 9 kids who were so happy to be moving around after eating. The selection of food and drinks is amazing! I have Celiac Disease, so eating out is always stressful for me. Our server, Jessica was wonderful! She made me feel relaxed about my food. I tried the hard apple cider on draft. Wow! I ordered the wings and a gluten free pizza. Both delicious. I will definitely go back again. Fabulous experience for a family to eat at!
6. The Claddagh
Reviewed By Tesstown
Claddagh Irish Pub has reopened and is looking great. They now have over 30 different beers on tap from around the globe, including ales, IPAs, Belgians, and lagers. If you like the latter try the Blue Point Toasted Lager. They also have some fruit and cider types if that's your taste. The kitchen has been completely remodeled and we're told a new menu is on the way. Live entertainment on weekends and different themes during the week. Plenty of tvs to watch the playoffs. Definitely a fun place, try it out.

My wife and I have now eaten here several times. The room is certainly stylish, and the menu eclectic, but the food needs some work. We tarted with an IPA, and it was not to my taste. Not hoppy enough. We also started with a mezzo plate with hummus, smoked eggplant dip, pickled vegetables, olives and flatbread. The components were fine, but the presentation was stylish but very awkward to eat. The olives and pickled vegetables were piled on top of the two dips so that you had to push them out of the way to get at the dips. Pushing them off of the hummus pushed them onto the eggplant dip and vice verse. Very awkward. I had the tempura vegetables. The coating on the vegetables was thin and not adhered to the vegetables so it fell off when you went to eat the. The Yakatori (?) sauce accompanying them was very thin and did not have much flavor. My wife had the mussels and frites and declared them âfineâ. Nuff said, she loves mussels.

The Chubby Pickle has a great selection of craft beers that always seem to be changing with the seasons. I'm slightly obsessed with the pizza rolls and the potato empanadas that I had this past weekend. The burgers are always solid and you can't beat the Chubby sauce. I would order this on the side of almost anything.:)

Stumbled on this place and werenât disappointed...very busy on a Saturday at 5 pm...standing room only. Lucked into 2 bar seats when a regular offered to move over for us. Can tell the burgers are to die for...they must have served 30 in the short hour we were thereâs. Fried zucchini isis unique and ready. Nice bartenders.

Nice addition to Highlands on the water. Weâve dined here many times both inside and out and has been consistent every time. Our favorites are the quesadilla, buffalo cauliflower, Mediterranean board, and fried chicken sandwich. Live music and lively atmosphere.
