    Giant pickles on the Castro
    Mark S.

    I was going back between 3 stars (fine) and 4 (pretty good/solid). I decided on 3 because of the flaws, but on a different visit I could absolutely go 4. Stopped in on what turned into a pretty busy Friday night, and the place is interesting to say the least. It's a converted old house, so all of the dining/bar areas are tucked into different rooms, around corners, up and down stairs. Ended up sitting at the bar in the first room. The bartenders were friendly, knew the regulars and their orders, and did their best with the rush. Oddly, there is a "seat yourself" policy, but because of the quirky layout that seems to involve wandering room to room, on multiple levels, until you find a spot. At one point, one of the bartenders was told there were no more seats, and she replied to the customer "Yeah, we might need to start a list. Try upstairs and we'll get to you." Later on, she said to the other bartender "I should check upstairs to see if I have any tables up there"- bad news for anyone seated up there. As far as the menu, it's pretty large and all over the place. I'd expected Irish staples and while they were there, I was surprised to see items like a falafel wrap, Buffalo wings, spinach-Artichoke dip, a shrimp basket, ribs... when I see a menu like that, I'm always prepared for pre-made food from some distributor and nothing special. Ended up getting the Shepherd's Fries, Beer Cheese Soup and Irish Castro (Irish spin on a Cuban). The fries were good, and the portion was MASSIVE. 3-4 people could easily split them as a large appetizer. The soup was pretty good, but nothing great, as was the Irish Castro. The one ding on the Castro is the pickles are huge, and pretty overpowering. All-in-all, it's a fun and kitschy place, and I see why the regulars come back. Decent food, friendly service, a little disjointed, but I would describe it as a good place to hang with some friends and catch a game. It's not really a traditional Irish Pub with yummy Irish staples.

    Sat at the bar and it was packed. The Shepards fries were delicious, the shepards mix was loaded with meat and the gravy delicious. Definitely trying the Shepards pie next time. The beer cheese soup was good. The burger was ginormous! It was a good burger. Service was quick and we will definitely be back to try more

    Sláinte, indeed! Clancy's Irish Pub has been in operation since 1973. Over 50 years in business means they're doing something right. This place rocks! Long time listener, first time caller. The locals only Irish pub has it all. Great food, affordable drinks, funky decor, huge space with multiple rooms and bars, and overall incredible vibes. Wheat Ridge has been blessed to claim Clancy's as their own for over 50 years. From the moment you walk in, you just feel like like you're in Denver's interpretation of Cheers. I popped in here after an event. I didn't know which room to snug up in because they all felt right. Ultimately I landed at the main bar. There was one server/bartender and she was doing it all! Working every room, checkin in on guests, pouring drinks, cleaning tables, etc. She was excellent! IRISH SPRING ROLLS ($9) // Corned Beef, Cabbage, Cheddar, Whiskey Mustard Sauce. Crispy on the outside, tender corned beef and cabbage on the inside. What more could a fella want? Pro tip, dip heavily in the mustard sauce. It's addicting and near habit forming. A steal at nine smackaroos. DRUNKEN IRISHMAN WINGS ($10) // 6pc Buffalo w/ Ranch. Big wing junkie here and these hit the spot. My only critiques are personal takes. For the amount of sauce they doused the wings in, I would've liked the wings in the fryer for another 30 seconds or so. Other than that, no complaints. I'll be ordering these many more times! Smithwicks for $5.75 a pint. Say less. I'm hooked after one visit. I am infatuated with longstanding local establishments like Clancy's. What a wonderful representation of what a fun, local Irish pub should be. No judgment, just good vibes, cheap drinks and great food. SOLD!

    This place is a real cute Irish pub with some delicious grub! Situated in the friendly area of Wheat Ridge, there's indoor and patio dining options available. We chose indoor. Our server was friendly. We ordered the fish and chips, avocado and asparagus fries appetizer, kids chicken fingers, and Clancy burger. All were delicious and quickly served. The burger was cooked perfect and the fish and chips was fresh, flaky and crispy. Can't wait to return and try other items on their menu.

    Have gone twice now and both times the food tasted like dog food. I don't know that I would even give it to my dog.

    Has a fun atmosphere, warm vibe and serves Irish comfort food that makes the Guinness that much better.

    Cannot believe I have missed out on this place all of my life. It kept showing up on my radar,…read morehowever the one thing holding me back is my fears that it would be more of a sportsball environ than I prefer ie: incessant loud sportsball noises. However I was pleasantly surprised that while there were strategically placed sportsball screens I was not deterred from a 2nd visit. As for the background music, might as well have come from my own playlists. My great dream is to one day come here for prime rib on a Friday or Saturday. On my two visits, my partner and I ordered the French dip twice (which is made with the prime rib). We inhaled those before we had time to take a picture. The wings and the French onion soup were pretty outstanding as well. Great staff , food, service & cozy atmosphere, 5 stars all around!

    The skinny: Solid food, fast & friendly service, chill sports vibe…read more Overview: Came here on a whim having seen them on InKind and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of food. The menu is quite huge - not just your typical bar/pub variety or quality. We got a few things to share and it was all solid. Apps: 1/2 and 1/2: Fried okra & pickles. First off - its great that they allow you to do a split order in case you are between a few things. 2nd off - this app was bomb. Both were fried to perfection & perfectly spiced. The fried okra was actually our fave item. Entrees: Fried chicken: Their fried chicken is so solid. Like their fried apps - they know what they are doing. Juicy on the inside crispy on the outside. Can't go wrong here. Meatloaf: Overall solid and wrapped in bacon. Nothing to blow you away but still quite tasty. Sides: I love me some good sides, and they had a few here. Most entrees came with 2 you could choose from which I loved. Some standouts were collared greens and french fries. No frills just solid comfort food. Vibe: Chill bar vibes with TVs. Service was friendly and quick. Pricing was reasonable and portions were large. Would I come back: Yes! Great spot to hang out with friends and grab a bite!
