Nice Pub located in town. The food was good the service could’ve been better. I felt like the staff served us and just forgot we were sitting here. The Reuben sandwich is amazing ! The fish and chips were good/average. Fries were tasty it was in a wedge form. If I come back I’ll get the Reuben sandwich but I’ll have to be craving this to come back .
We had no issues during our visit. This was one of the few places open late compared to all of the other restaurants. Their service was good and pretty fast in my opinion, along with great prices for their food and drinks. They charge a fee to pay with a card and luckily we had cash, we didn't see a sign or anything, we noticed on the receipt it said total with cash and total with no cash and it was about 4 to 7 dollars more with no cash, this is the only reason for taking off a star from my review. If it wasn't for this, I would have no problem giving this place a 5 star rating.
You can't go wrong if you are looking for a taste of Irish with a spin. We sat outside since the weather was gorgeous and wanted to continue watching the view. First, I should mention there is no bathroom in restaurant, it is outside in the building next door (it was clean). We ordered the Irish nachos, Shepard pie and macaroni and four cheese with chicken. Everything was really good and hot. The corned beef on salty nachos was a fun twist to nachos. The Shepard pie was a classic and very good. Adding chicken to the macaroni and cheese brought it up a couple notches. A good place to stop and eat after walking around.
First time at this restaurant, which did not disappoint. The Calamari appetizer was perfect. Husband ordered the Shepherd's Pie and he loved it. I ordered the Short Ribs plate, which came with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables. It was delicious! Dessert was Bread pudding which was different than what I'm used to, however it did not disappoint. Fitzpatrick's is also a dog friendly restaurant which is a plus for us as we travel with our fur baby.
Cool Irish pub with friendly staff. Plenty of free parking nearby. They have a pretty cool decibel meter behind the bar. Just grabbed a beer while walking around and I’ll definitely be back. The staff make sure you have a good time and have plenty of suggestions for local fun things to check out.
Fantastic food and awesome service in a casual setting. What a great find this Irish pub is in a plethora of Danish restaurants and bakeries. The Cobb salad, cider, and Dubliner burger were amazing. We had dinner at Fitzpatrick's Tavern last night when they were short staffed, but the service was still exceptional due to the hard work of its staff. We came here again for a late lunch the next day. We got the fish and chips, sliders, and more cider. The food and service was again exceptional.
