Very Disappointed in the Service
DESCRIPTION: I took business clientele to the Carlos O'Kellys in Wichita, Kansas. It was the worst service I have ever had and they still expected us to pay for our food and then the girl just looked at us and said would you like change back as if I am going to tip a waitress like that. She was rude and very slow.

Skip It
DESCRIPTION: I used to stop in to this simple, no bull, little pub often. The last time I visited 3/15/03 the bartender skimmed $40 from me. I gave him a $50 to pay for the beer and he gave me change back for a $20. When I protested he told me I was wrong and that I gave him a $20. They lost a customer that night.

DESCRIPTION: Formally the domain of Robbie O'Connell's Irish Pub, Tir Na Nog means 'land of eternal youth' or 'land of the young' depending on who you ask. It doesn't really matter because it's the beer that counts, and this place sure has the beer. They have a wide variety of beers with a good selection of lambic beers (double, triple, and quadrupel brewed). Their is plenty of good stuff on tap such as Guinness, Harp, Weiss, Hacker-Pschorr, Strongbow, Yuengling, Kelly's Irish, Becks, Optimater and much more. The atmosphere is all about the beer, and Guinness is usually the drink of choice among the "regulars". If you want food, Shroomers (a pizza, sub joint)is next door, but who needs food when you have tons of beer at your disposal. Prices are reasonable and the strong Irish contingent that frequent the pub along with the Irish tunes playing on the juke box give Tir Na Nog a nice Irish drinking atmosphere. ... when you go ask Bill or Randy about their Unibroues. You won't be sorry. I guarantee it.

Great place to hang out
DESCRIPTION: This place has a huge variety of draft beers, and many more bottled beers to choose from. Its authentic Irish food, live music, cozy atmosphere and friendly folks make this the place I love to go. Also their website is very informative about menus, drink lists, contact info & upcoming events. www.johnniemaccrackens.com

Finnegan's Wake and Pub Is a True Find
DESCRIPTION: A truly attractive, warm, down-to-earth, cozy restaurant, Finnegan's Wake is located in the lower level of a former foundry in a remote section of downtown Walpole, Mass. Irish native Tom Kirwin, with his gracious demeanor and pleasing Irish accent, and Walpole native Kristen Smith (also the master chef) are long-time restauranteurs with a knack for turning our great lunch and dinner selections. Kirwin owned the former Kirwin's Kitchen, a classic Walpole breakfast and lunch place where Smith waitressed. Several years ago, Kirwin decided to close Kirwin's, and with Smith opened Finnegan's Wake around the corner. No "luck of the Irish" was needed here; Smith and Kirwin forged ahead to bring an authentic, high quality Irish restaurant with lots of character to Walpole from day one. Finnegan's Wake's greatest offerings are a delicious Guinness beef pie, with fish and chips, shepard's pie and roast turkey and of course, a wide variety of beers and ales that would not look out of place in Ireland. For appetizers, the Irish potato pizza has an addictive full body taste, courtesy of fresh potato skins, peppers, tomatoes, scallions and blended cheeses. Desserts include a brownie ala mode bursting with authentic fudge sauce. The soups and salads are fresh (great French onion soup, clam chowder and Caesar salads) and the warm, homemade rolls suggest great things to come before the arrival of the main entrees. Service is always pleasant; judging from the friendliness of the wait and bar staff, they really seem to enjoy working in the attractive and cozy setting. The atmosphere is indeed memorable. The dining room has high ceilings, soft lighting, soothing yellow and gold tones, subtle candle light at night, huge stylish wooden booths, Irish memorabilia lining the mantle above the high walls and exposed brick walls perfectly married with handsome dark wood. The bar area sports living room comfort with large screen televisions, comfortable tables and wall to wall rugs, mirrors and more dark wood and occasional entertainment (one or two singers at a time) to create the pub you've dreamed about but never quite found. Finnegan's Wake is a nice escape from the hectic pace of Boston. It is the perfect dining getaway in a town with a high Irish population that knows it Irish food. They know Finnegan's Wake to be the "real thing," a place close to home that exceeds in quality and ambiance many of the high end Irish restaurants and pubs in Boston.

The perfect pint, the perfect place
DESCRIPTION: Bay Ridge, Brooklyn has no shortage of Irish bars. But only one stands out as the best (in my humble opinion)...and that's Bally Bunion. Perhaps the friendliest establishment of it's type; everyone becomes an instant friend,and strangers are welcomed as if lost lost family. The staff is entirely professional and cater to your every need. From bartenders, to waitresses, to the owners...no detail is overlooked. The surroundings are warm and inviting. Sit at the long bar and engage in good conversation, or take a table in the dining room around the fireplace. They have a good selection of the freshest pints, bottled beers and spirits. The menu represents Irish and American favorites, and the quality of the food is outstanding. Don't miss the Sunday brunch, or the top-notch live entertainment throughout the week. Bally Bunion can even accomodate special family occasions. Do yourself a favor, and treat yourself to an evening of great food, great drinks, and great people....Bally Bunion
