- Monserrat AAugust 18, 2012All I'll say is the lobster roll 'looks' small but WOW OH WOW seriously delicious, hardly any mayo. I had a chunk of a claw and ate every last morsel. the fries were also crispy n tasty
ARTHUR SEARLE is THE BEST HOST and BAR TENDER!! besides that the establishment is very friendly and service makes for an enjoyable outing w/friends :)
AdrianeDecember 15, 2014Great atmosphere, friendly bartenders and patrons. Solid Irish fare. Hot corned beef sandwich and fish and chips are winners. Best tartar sauce I've ever had!
Joe WightmanNovember 12, 2015A very good selection of Irish Whiskey. Recently added Green Spot. The Jameson Black Barrel is dollar for dollar one of the best Whiskey you will ever have. Please only drink neat.
Kayla O'DonnellDecember 15, 2014Great butternut squash soup. Expensive mimosas for brunch. Different but yummy eggs Benedict. Overall a good experience.
Roger SeldonJune 30, 2016Great menu, great tap, great whisky. I love this place. Been coming here since it opened
John GarbarinoAugust 7, 2018Burgers are great. Drinks are excellent! Try the espresso glazed bacon!!!
Mike DoryMarch 1, 2014Cozy fireplace and a bunch of soccer games on pretty much all the time. Great feel to the place.
Mike DargisSeptember 13, 2019Nice Irish pub with a good menu.Check out the specials . Get a Guinness.- Good pint of Guinness. Corned beef Reuben is my goto.
Anna ParisiNovember 22, 2013Arrive after 10pm, sit at the bar, talk to Jimmy! Order draft and boneless fingers - a sure call
One of the best places to drink in town hands down!!!
Maplewood's own little Cheers. Great wings. Great burgers. Great bar keeps
- Everything is good, but Gaelic Steak, burgers and the Reuben are my faves.
Mark HrywnaMarch 29, 2013Back in my day, this was Maguire's Menswear & we'd buy our Cub Scout uniforms here. Nostalgic but this is better.
The Gate is Great! They actually have guiness listed as an appetizer... As Irish as it gets
Bartenders Jimmy and Joe and company are top notch.
The St. James Burger is pretty classic. Especially the Irish slaw on the side
Tyler InsleyFebruary 4, 2012Don't eat here. Drinks are solid, but I think they probably make everything in the morning and have it in hot trays. Just doesn't taste fresh.
Matt RainesNovember 17, 2013Nice place to grab a beer 🍺but don't stay for dinner. Overpriced and very slow.- Tom MeagherDecember 24, 2013Lousy, slow service. Go for drinks at the bar. Don't go with kids, if you're hungry or in a hurry.
De Metha Hukins-SimmondsJune 10, 2012Nice place, wine often stale, otherwise nice place.Food ok, service ok
Don't eat here. There's my tip. Horrible food. It's been a let down the last few times we've been. How can you mess up fish and chips?
