I remember coming once maybe 7 or 8 years ago with a buddy and literally never forgot the experience. It was cozy and friendly, with perfectly poured Guinness and amazing Shepherds pie. Went back more recently and it was exactly the same. One of the few places that hasn't seemed to decline in quality over time. Love. read more

Recently moved to Orlando area. Was looking for an Irish Pub and they delivered. Food was awesome and bartenders were extremely friendly. One downside is it's only beer and wine but otherwise it's a must eat! Definitely going back. They gave a taste of the potato leek soup and it's top of the menu. read more

The best Irish Pub in Orlando. Seriously, I ranked them all and this came out on top. Great food, great service, great music. The vibes are immaculate; this is what an Irish Pub should feel like. I recommend the Ploughman's Platter ($12) and either a Snakebite (Harp and Magner's) or an ice cold, perfectly poured Guinness. read more

Claddagh Cottage Irish Pub - Ploughman's Platter - Irish Pub Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This place has its own energy, especially when they have live music. I do think the food could use some improvements, the salad that comes with most plates is consistently bland. We ordered the beef stew this evening and were offered the brown bread for an upcharge, which we opted for. The bread was not that great, and turned out to be $4 extra for 3 slices of bread. The mains are solid, but the sides need improvement to round out and compliment the mains and bring better value to the menu items. read more

Love the Irish pub ambiance, the beer selection and the steak and mushroom pie! Service staff are very attentive--and have always been. What could take this place to the next level is having a fryer so fish & chips and fries etc. could be expanded offerings. read more

What a great little pub!!! I've been there a few times, and both the service and the food are outstanding!!! The atmosphere is casual and friendly.! I ordered the steak and mushroom pie , and an order of Irish brown bread! Both were delicious , the meat pie was very flavorful, and the mushrooms and gravy were delicious! The order of brown bread reminded me of the bread I got when I visited Ireland! Of course, I had an Irish drink called a "SnakeBite". This is a mixture of Irish hard cider and Irish IPA.! Again that brought me back to my trip to Ireland! There was live entertainment , which was an acoustic band playing Irish folk songs as well as more contemporary pieces! They open at 4:00 PM every day , and I recommend that you spend some quality time there! You'll enjoy yourself! read more

Great little pub. It has all the ambiance of a pub. Music is a bit loud and we were there on a great 80's playmix. Not particularly Irish but big tables for a group to drink and talk. read more

Scratch kitchen, incredible local live music and the ambiance of a true Irish pub... what more could you ask for??! We love it here.

The Rundown: an intimate pub vibe with fantastic eats and a live music experience. The Review: stepping through the doors felt like being transported to another region, an authentic pub vibe without appearing as though trying too hard. Claddagh offers bar and table/booth options, with live music to the back during different times. It's dark, with warm lighting, and very comforting. The staff were all friendly, ensuring that you get your fill whether just from the drink offerings or from the kitchen. The menu was rather varied, even offering items like Tikki masala which educated me that this dish is actually UK in origin - I never knew! The food is quite filling, I went with the chicken leek pastry which had a wonderful crust and very flavorful taste. I definitely need to go back and try the others because it was absolutely fantastic. If you're seeking Irish food, a comforting intimate experience, or just somewhere with an excellent menu, definitely make plans to step through the doors of Claddagh Cottage! read more

So much to say here! This has been a staple in the community for years. Several years ago the bldg was sold and the business was doomed. The locals and regulars donated and assisted in opening right down the road. I great taste of Ireland for sure. The Irish ambiance along with the traditional and favorites food of its heritage are fab! Don't forget the libations and pints. So good! You can't go wrong! And the bar hands and service. Wonderful! read more

Cracking pub, this! Seems like the perfect place to begin an adventure ...in beer with friendly regulars and flirty pensioners. Only if I had any less self control, I digress. So the Guinness is good, of course, and so's the food. Actually, better. Who knew how delicious the food actually is here? Finding myself really rather gobsmacked over it. That goddamn pie. Double nom nom yum yum. read more

Food is good. Rather expensive. $11 Guinness pints is also kind of expensive. Good atmosphere typical for an Irish bar. Good service. Too expensive so probably won't go back read more

Food was amazing. Highly recommend the Steak and Ale pie. Friendly service, great music.

Beer, pies, vibes...also pies. Only thing I have to say is my black and tan was just poured and mixed..not cool.

The food and entertainment were superb. And the beer is served in full pint glasses. Prices are reasonable. Loved the beef pasty. The atmosphere is exactly what you would expect in a traditional Irish pub. We live only a mile away and will be returning soon. read more

Claddagh Cottage is my favorite Irish pub in Orlando! The Guinness is always poured to perfection, the food is great every time, and it has that cozy pub charm. My favorite dishes are the steak and mushroom pie or the cheese and leek pasty, but you can't go wrong with anything. The bar tenders will take great care of you no matter when you go. read more

what a great surprise. the steak and mushroom pie was phenomenal as well as a perfectly poured Guinness. the servicer, Courtney, was awesome and the place was spotless. chocolate cake was the perfect ending for a great dinner. This is a must visit restaurant. read more

If you want a typical irish dark pub with bland irish food this is for you. The ambiance is fitting as it's typical of an irish pub, and has the vibes you want if you are seeking that out! We got the beef and leak mushroom pasty, as well as the leak pie. The crust on all was crispy flakely and delicious, but unfortunately like all irish food it's super bland and lacks flavor. The server was really nice and attentive, and they have a nice selection of beers on draft. To note: only beer and wine here! read more

Terrific food, homemade love in it and no oils! Wonderful and friendly service, so welcoming. We stepped into actual europe, actual Ireland it felt authentic. Great ambiance. Would 100/10 go back read more

We recently ordered lunch to go from Claddagh Cottage. My friend suggested it and we thought Irish style food sounded great so we were onboard! I ordered the steak and mushroom pasty with a cup of Irish stew and my boyfriend ordered cottage pie. Patrick took our order over the phone and handed it off when we picked it up. He was very friendly and the food was ready in the timeframe given. The Irish stew was a generous portion for a cup of soup. It was loaded with tender beef, potatoes, and carrots. The broth was a bit on the salty side in my opinion, but I still enjoyed it. The steak and mushroom pasty was awesome! It was packed full of beef and mushrooms and the gravy had a great flavor. The exterior pastry part was flaky and buttery tasting and still was able to hold up well with all of the filling. I'd definitely order this again. My boyfriend enjoyed his cottage pie. That portion seems a bit smaller when compared to the pasty and stew, but it's a dense and filling dish so he was quite satisfied. I snagged a bite of it, but the onion flavor was a bit too strong for my personal preference. I ended up with leftover stew and pasty that I enjoyed for lunch the following day. My friends enjoyed their meals as well. I'd been to the previous location in the past and remember enjoying the atmosphere. I will certainly return to this location to enjoy a pint of Guinness and check out the ambience in the future (and order another pasty of course.) read more

Still love this place. I was able to order takeout for my boyfriends birthday and even though it took me an hour to get home, the food was still warm and delicious. Inside is dark but feels just like you're across the pond. Great service. The gentleman who helped me was super nice. read more

Claddagh Cottage Irish Pub - Inside seating - Irish Pub Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is a quaint little pub just off of Curry Ford in East Orlando, and I must say that it's quite nice! It has the homey, casual feel that you'd expect from a pub. A great selection of meal items is provided, from a variety of pies to lighter fare that includes sausage rolls and other items. I had the steak and ale pie. It was exactly what you'd want from a savory pie. The crust was cooked to a golden brown perfection and was crusty and flaky, I'm all about the crust when it comes to a pie, and this one was spot on! The filling was also delicious, with a generous portion of tender steak with a great sauce. Even the bread roll came toasty and possibly lightly buttered. It was fantastic! I was particularly impressed with the coleslaw, of all things. In my experience, a place like this will treat this side as a careless afterthought. However, that is not the case here! This restaurant treats its sides with love and care. The coleslaw was prepared with a simple dressing, but it just worked! It fit the feel of the dish being served perfectly. The flavor of the slaw was a nice complement to the pie. This is a great restaurant with tasty food, fair prices and a great ambiance. The service is also great, as our food arrived in short order. I highly recommend them! read more

This Pub is fantastic. We had Magners cider on draft followed by the most delicious pastys: tiki masala and traditional beef. Outstanding! For desert we shared the bread pudding which was stellar. I love this pub and will be back again soon. read more

Any place with metal darts is already a winner in my book. Finding our favorite Irish and UK beers there was a wonderful bonus. The food was a bit bland and over-priced, but it's all probably sourced from Irish purveyors so that was expected. I was astounded (in a good way) that the bartenders were able to keep track of the assorted food and drink orders of everyone in our party when it came time to settle up. Very impressive. The live music was good, but a smidge loud. We weren't anywhere near them and found it difficult to keep a conversation. read more

A nice place to tuck into a some comfort food. I may be biased by my Irish heritage, but there's no more comforting place to have a drink than an Irish pub, and Claddagh Cottage is the best I've been to in the state of Florida. Delicious food and a tall Guinness to boot (imperial pints as God intended). Be warned, the horseradish on the corned beef sandwich will clear your sinuses somethin' fierce! Delicious potato and leek soup. The TV at the bar was playing Turner Classic Movies, which was a lovely little treat. Bartender was nice and the service was super prompt. Will definitely be coming back! read more

St Patty when's and no music on Sat!?!? Told no bands wanted to play!! BS!! Just didn't want to pony up $$$$

Sausage Rolls- These in my opinion are a must get for meat eaters. The crust is flaky, crispy, and buttery. The sausage is very flavorful and the very strongest mustard that comes with it compliments it beautifully. Cottage Pie- I would imagine this is one of the more popular items on the menu. It's a very fresh, and well flavored Sheppards Pie. You know what you're getting and it's perfect when that's what you're in the mood for. I don't normally remark much about the staff. But the staff here are always incredibly friendly and accommodating. I haven't had a chance to try many other many items, but if the food I have had is any indication. The rest of it is also probably great. read more

Love the food and the ambience! The service is awesome as well! Such a cozy atmosphere and the food just has a comforting quality. :)

First time here after going by it countless times. First and foremost the service was very good, we constantly had a rotation of staff coming over to make sure we were good or if we needed anything. The food was all very good and the pasties were so fresh and delicious. We also got the sausage rolls which are a must when you go. They come with a very distinct mustard that pairs with it very well. Sorry I did not get many photos of food, it was devoured pretty quickly! read more

Finally tried this adorable place out the other day and had a great experience. We even got to see a band set up for a performance later that evening. We met up with some friends and ate yummy foods. We ordered the scotch egg which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Beware that the mustard they serve with it is spicy (we personally love Coleman's mustard). The tikka masala pasty was good, but I didn't love it. The cottage pie was much better and super filling. I tried the beef pasty and that is a must! The minced beef is where it's at here. The menu is limited, but what they do have is tasty. read more

A great local bar / restaurant in the SODO / Hourglass District area. We have tried to hit them up a couple of times now, but the parking lot is always crazy busy. We were able to find a spot last week and give this place a go. Once inside it was self seat and we picked to go back by the stage area, as no one was currently playing and we had the munchkin so we tried not to sit right next to other parties. The server came over really quickly and we opted to share the Scotch Egg and the Cottage Pie. They only have a few "typical" Irish dishes, but the unique take on the pasty was a fun idea! The food was super good - really liked the egg. Only ask would be a side of dijon mustard. Cottage Pie came out really hot, so heads up there, you may want to stir it and give it a minute. Super tasty and very filling. Server came by and checked on us several times and was friendly throughout. They do not have a changing station in the bathroom, so heads up parents with littles, that you'll need to find an alternate space for changes. Overall: A Great local bar with solid food options. Would like to go back when someone's on stage! read more

The mustard that goes with the scotch eggs is fantastic. Best I've ever had. Ambience is great, and check the schedule for live Irish music.

Great Irish pub in my neighborhood that has great people, staff, food and of course pints. Live music usually Irish hoot n' nanny style. Great feel 5 STARS. And I'm not Irish and strong in melanin. Lol. read more

I came across the Claddagh Cottage Irish Pub while searching the Net. All the reviews were great so my wife and I decided to give it a try. Well, I can tell you we were not disappointed. The food, service and atmosphere were brilliant. Out experience could only have been better if the food had been for free. Give it a try! read more

We were a group of six friends who chose this location on a suggestion of two within our dining party. For the rest of us, it was a first-ever visit, and the reaction of all was, "Oh, this will definitely be a place I return to, and soon!" It impressed in ALL the right ways. The pub opens at noon on Sundays, and we were the first guests to enter after Dan opened the door and welcomed us. The dining room theming is excellent, and fun. Everything is organized and clean, with room to move about freely. It was not at all crowded during the time we were dining, which was perfect, since it gave us time to socialize without worrying about others waiting to be seated. Dan was our server, and he offered excellent advice about any menu questions we had. Nice Irish beer selections. Everyone in our group ordered something different, which gave us a great opportunity to compare notes on all the things we enjoyed about our selections. Dan was serving as the main bartender (dining is also available to be done directly at the bar) yet he was SO attentive to our needs, and made sure we were never in need of anything. The ultimate multi-tasker indeed. I'm normally not a big fan of chutney, and anticipated not having too much of it when it was one of our selected appetizers. Wrong - It was fantastic! Extremely good. The sandwiches, as well as the pasty entrees, offer sizable portions that are certain to fill you. I had the Berliner, and enjoyed every bite. Those who ordered the Irish Stew were raving about it as well. There are two delicious dessert options (carrot cake w/ a special glaze, and also a bread pudding that made everyone smile). Basically this was a simply prefect visit to a location that exceeded the expectations of all. Server Dan certainly added to that experience, and we send big applause to those in the kitchen we didn't meet. Great job by all !!! read more
