We ducked into Boudicca's Celtic Pub trying to beat the Gatlinburg heat with a party of nine--not exactly an easy group to accommodate on a whim. Instead of being turned away or treated like a burden, we were immediately welcomed and found a great spot upstairs with awesome views of the village. The food and drinks completely delivered. The beer was fantastic, and you could tell the bartender actually cared about the quality of the pour (you have to try the Blacksmith). We started with the soft pretzels and beer cheese (excellent), but the absolute standout was the Celtic Spice Bag for the entree. I can't recommend it enough--you have to try it. I've been to a lot of Irish pubs around the world, including plenty in Ireland. A lot of places think that slapping some Claddaghs, harps, and four-leaf clovers on the wall while blasting the same five pub songs we all know by heart is enough to make an Irish pub. Boudicca's has the decor and the music, sure, but that's not why we'll be coming back. When you walk into a real pub over on Salt Hill in Galway Bay, what actually makes the place special is the atmosphere. It's the genuine welcome from the people, the care behind the bar, and food that feels unique. Boudicca's captured that exact feeling right in the middle of Tennessee. The staff was fantastic, the vibe was perfect, and we had an absolute blast. Highly recommended. read more

Super cute spot in a nice location. This place is a welcoming break from the main drag of downtown Gatlinburg. Lots of cool beer options and yummy burgers. read more

Boudicca’s Celtic Pub - Classic Boudicca Burger - Irish Pub Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

A great little place to have lunch and a beer! We loved sitting upstairs in front of the window, it was like we escaped to a small village in Europe! The food was great, the bartender was very nice, we had a great time! A little gem nestled in the back corner of the village shops, I'm happy to have found them! read more

The bar is small hole in the wall in a tourist-heavy area. I didn't have great expectations, but the pretzels and beer cheese blew me away. It was some of the best beer cheese I've had. read more

Feels like an authentic pub. Worn fixtures, lively chatter, stouts & chips. The service was quick and the food was delicious. The banger burger lives up to its name. So much meat! The best part of the brews is the imprinting station. We got a grizzly. read more

Awesome hidden little spot in the Village!! The entrance has a bar with 6 seats. For food (get one of the burgers), order at the bar and sit upstairs. Your name will be called to come get your food. Cameron was our bartender two days in a row. He was great! The coolest thing is the beer printer. They pour a proper Irish Guinness pour, and then print cool things in the foam. When in Gatlinburg, we will always stop here! Can't believe we missed it the last few years. Update: we came back again on Saturday. Jess was working! She shared with us that we could put OUR OWN PICTURE on the top of our beer!! We did it.... So many times!! So fun!! Just ask for the QR code laminated square kept behind the bar. THANKS, Jess! read more

Don't miss this gem lucked back in a beautiful rustic shopping village! The music takes you in along with the decor and lighting. If you want the small bar experience stay downstairs. If you want the Celtic inn, go upstairs and they will bring your food up for you! The banger burger is award winning votes best in Gatlinburg and I can see why. The beef patties are seasoned well, tender and delicious along with the potato bun. The banger burger also has sliced "bangers" which are seasoned sausage, mashed potatoes and grilled onions! While great together, I chose to steal the bangers out and eat them alone as a side. It's perfect if you want the comfort of "bangers and mash" but want to try an amazing burger too. The fries are plentiful and guarantee you will be full after eating just half of this entree. The bartender and server is attentive and took good care of people as they walked in. Don't miss one the tip advisors top 10 eats in Gatlinburg! read more

If you like food and beer, I'd suggest going here. It is tiny inside, so if you have a big party, you may want to get food to go and sit in the courtyard. We tried the burgers, delicious, and fresh. To me, this place is a cool, personalized, kinda divy, gritty, in a good way, place to eat on the strip in Gatlinburg. It has a lot of character, which I enjoyed. Will be back, soon! read more

Fantastic service; they even recommended another restaurant for the UK food they don't serve. Too kind. Great pub vibe. It's a nice, cozy space with big tables. We liked the tables by the window upstairs. Spectacular streak. Good Guinness. The Banger Burger was indeed a banger. So good! And get some Beer Cheese too; so so so good! We shall return. read more

Boudicca’s Celtic Pub - Now that's a Guinness! - Irish Pub Near Me - Gatlinburg, Tennessee

This was a hidden gem for sure! We went in here looking for a bathroom (bathrooms are around the corner in the little outdoor mall), but ended up having great counter service and a fantastic afternoon meal with some beers. This truly is an Irish pub, so plan on drinking heavier beers. The fries with beer cheese were incredible - I highly recommend going with whatever the cook recommends in terms of seasoning and how you want them, because it was such a treat. The staff were incredibly friendly and made the experience great! read more

As a local content creator here in Gatlinburg The Gatlinburg Hussey I highly recommend Boudiccas Celtic Pub in Gatlinburg Village ..Definitely get the burger to have with your pint read more

Only complaint is they don't explain how things work when you order. But we eventually figured it out. You order at the bar, then you wait upstairs and then they'll bring the food to you in a to-go container, which you can either eat there or take it with you. It's a small quaint place upstairs with several tables. It was a little bit of a wait for the food, but didn't mind being able to rest after running around Gatlinburg. Ordered the fish and chips and it was tasty and pretty good portion size. read more

We were excited to try because of great reviews and this place did not disappoint us. What I like most is the quality matches the price, especially for such a location that curious tourists are abundant. Although burgers are not my thing, I tried my husband's beer burger and it was awesome. The sausage was well done with the taste and texture. And the beer, look at the picture lol. Who can resist that glass of beer? I love my steak. Not the best beef, of course with that price, but not bad. The uniqueness of the pub with decorations is so pleasant to sit and have fun and memorable time with our loved ones. The bartender was super helpful too. It was a perfect experience for us. Will come back, for sure read more

Delicious and so much food! I had a pint of Guinness and the Celtic Spice bag. Definitely shareable portions but a fantastic blend of chicken strips, grilled onions, peppers and "chips"! The bartender was super nice and they had a stamp in my foam! So cute! No wait staff but good eats. read more

Great little place off the Main Street. Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Really small !!

My favorite place in all of Gatlinburg. This is now part of our Tradition to visit here on our 1st day. The food and beers are the best. Tucked away in the corner of the village. The fish, burgers, and spice bags are the best. Black and Tans all day long. read more

Recommended by dog store next door. Allows dogs to eat indoors, also has a puppy bowl (cooked hamburger patty) available to order for our hungry puppy. Food was good. You order first at the bar and pay. They will call your name to pick up the order from downstairs when it's ready. Nice sitting area upstairs. read more

Read online this place had the best burgers in Gatlinburg. My son had one, it was OK. But I made the mistake of ordering the fish and chips. GROSS. An Irish bar is supposed to do this dish well. It's a staple of Irish cuisine. But they didn't even try. The fish was tough because they didn't cook the frozen fillets all the way through. The batter fell right off because frozen fillets and batter doesn't mix well. I do NOT recommend this place. The burgers are not good enough to make up for this nonsens read more

Hidden away in Village Shoppes is a nice little pub.  They have a nice selection of beers, burgers, fish & chips, and more!  They have outdoor seating, upstairs seating, and if you're lucky, you can sit at the bar upon entering.  It's a very warm chill vibe, and they are very welcoming and laid back. The food is given to you in to-go boxes(which I think is genius) and everything was cooked perfectly.  We had the fish & chips (thick and cooked nicely) and the AWARD WINNING Banger Burger (Guinness-marinated Sausages, sweet grilled Onions, Irish yellow Cheddar and a thick spread of fresh Mashed Potatoes), and a delicious pumpkin beer! Make sure to get beer cheese for dipping, that sauce was money. read more

I regret not making time to go back to this pub before leaving. My girlfriend and I stopped in on a Saturday night hoping for a quick beer and bite. Unfortunately for us, they were very busy at the bar. The owner (I think) came around from the bar to greet us personally and apologize for not having a seat for us. He was very friendly and invited us to come back soon when we chose to go somewhere else. The bar is small and cozy, and we didn't realize is at the time, but there's also an upstairs that looks equally cozy. Will definitely make time to come back next time we're in town based on the hospitality alone. read more

I've been coming to Gatlinburg all my life, and I'm no spring chicken. I grew up camping in the area and now I take my children to do the same. To be perfectly honest, the town is not really my jam these days. Our more recent tradition is to get a hotel near the strip and just use the room for occasional hot water (my kids are still very young) and to take a break from meals made over the fire. We don't actual sleep there, but this rooms around here are a bargain, they're affordable even if you're not sleeping in them. I'll admit we don't walk the entire strip, but there a little portion called The Village that the kids like to walk through. I was browsing around a shoe store in this little nook off the strip and asked the owner if there was a good spot for charcuterie and wine that wasn't sweet. I do realize this isn't the culinary capital of the world, but you never know. Anyway, he couldn't think of anything that fit that bill, but he did mention that an Irish spot a couple doors down was voted best burger in the city two years in a row. This was compelling enough and it was close! We walked in with our kids and they took a seat a bar. I apologized to the bartender (Joey) and he assured me, it wasn't a problem. A kid-friendly bar? I was already impressed. We didn't spend much time studying the menu; we had to try that burger! The Banger Burger, with Guinness-marinated sausages, sweet grilled onions, Irish cheddar, and a thick spread of fresh mashed potatoes, was served with a hefty portion of Celtic sea salt seasoned fries. We ordered the beer cheese for dipping. It was smooth, spiced perfectly, and was the perfect accompaniment to the rest of the meal. I also ordered a Magner's Pear Cider. This is small restaurant that is perfect for takeout, but they also have several tables upstairs. The space was adorned with Irish decor, maps, witty signs, blessings, and a perfect little window nook to watch the passerby. We headed upstairs and Joey brought up our meals when they were ready. The burger itself was huge. It truly was a flavor explosion. If Irish pubs are your forte, this place is an absolute must. We dug deep into the depths of that beer cheese container. It's the type of meal that will have you wanting to lick your plate and even better, the type of establishment that makes you feel comfortable doing so. My beer was made with 100% premium pears, crisp, with a refreshing fruit flavor. Unlike other ciders I've tried, the notes of fruit weren't overstated or too sweet. If you're like me and find the task of choosing a meal in Gatlinburg more difficult than most, this is your needle in the haystack. It's worth coming down the mountain for. The service was warm and friendly, the restaurant has a unique atmosphere, Irish tunes, and without a shadow of a doubt, the very best burger in town. read more

I have eaten a lot of burgers in my life. I love a good hamburger. I even had part of my wedding party weekend at a burger place back home. I've been meaning to try this place and finally had the chance today. I went in to place my order at the counter for a Boudicca burger with chips. The food was brought very efficiently to me upstairs. It is small upstairs but I absolutely loved the Irish music playing. I took a bite of my burger and couldn't believe what I was tasting. It had some Irish cheese on it along with a sweet onion jam on it. The burger consisted of two smash patties which were perfectly cooked. A lot of people overcook the thin patties or they press them too much and they are tough. Not this burger. It was a symphony in my mouth and I just loved every single bite. A plus is I could wash it down with a Smithwick's beer. read more

A charming, quaint pub with friendly service and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. Orders are placed at the bar, and there's a cozy upstairs seating area. The burgers were tasty and satisfying, though the fish and chips were just average. Prices are fair, but be aware that there's no restroom on-site. Overall, a pleasant spot for a casual meal and a drink. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover ! It's tiny when we looked inside , you see a bar that has 4 seats. You place an order and then they have an upstairs area to eat . Burger was a double patty with a ton of fries - we would have been fine with that between the two of us ! It was $16. I also ordered the onion and pepper fried rings and the dipping sauce was delish ! Great value and awesome food ! A true hole in the wall ! You don't find anything like this in Gatlinburg on the main strip ! read more

Tucked away in the back of The Village Shoppes, sits an aesthetically perfectly situated pub-esque experience. Food was great. Music (over the speakers) was brilliant if you like Irish/Celtic rooted music (pogues, flogging Molly, etc) They have the stamper for the head on your Guinness. The gents working there were helpful and cheerful. Had a great experience and will be back next time I'm in Gatlinburg. read more

Order a Guinness here and you'll get a surprise you won't find anywhere else! They serve Guinness with images and photos printed on the foam. Absolutely amazing addition! The owners have painstakingly designed this place to make it as authentic as possible to an actual Irish Pub in Ireland. The food is great! They also just Kerrygold butter which is just *chefs kiss*.
