    Blackened Ahi Tuna starter
    Angie C.

    Coakley's is that neighborhood pub that's lively, busy and friendly. It doesn't hurt that the food is delicious. Yesterday, my friend and I took a bike ride around town, and then stopped in for an appetizer and a beverage. It was about 2:30 on the afternoon on a Friday, yet there was a nice gathering of folks enjoying themselves. We were promptly served, and left alone while we browsed the menu. My friend ordered the blackened ahi tuna starter, which she proclaimed bright with flavor and prepared exactly as requested (extra rare). I chose the cream of crab soup, which might be the best I've ever eaten, full of huge lumps of crab meat, delicately flavored with Old Bay, but not too salty. I would've preferred it a tad thinner, but it was not too thick to enjoy. Since I love meatballs, I also ordered the Margherita meatballs, and they were delicious! Three medium sized meatballs, tasting like your Italian Nonna made them, with a rich Sunday sauce and a sprinkling of parmesan. Yum yum yum. My friend and I also decided to splurge on a plate of onion rings, neither of us having had them for a long while. They came out overdone (or left under a lamp too long) and were burned around the edges. One bite and yuck. No worries, our bartender said she'd get them to make us another plate. The second plate came out looking perfectly, and we enjoyed a few, however, they were rather bland and lacked some flavor. Nonetheless, our experience was delightful and our dissatisfaction with the onion rings was not enough to take off a star from my rating. Havre de Grace is a charming small town at the base of the Susquehanna River where it meets the Chesapeake Bay. Come visit, browse the cute shops, and stop in Coakley's for some delicious food, expert cocktails and local energy.

    Seasonal Peach Palmer
    Aria M.

    For owning the entire block in downtown Historical Havre de Grace you would think this restaurant would be astounding... instead I was disappointed. I believe this was my second time here as it is a favourite of the extended family. Usually I'm here for a birthday or celebration of some kind. The food was okay. My French dip sandwich was fine but the onion rings were flavourless. The onion rings were lukewarm. The Peach Palmer was okay. Not very flavourful, like alcoholic weak tea. My partner ordered the Tuscan Garlic Chicken and found the sauce to be great but the chicken was dry. A cousin ordered the Captain Chesapeake sandwich and it was good but lacked crab. Which is astounding for a Chesapeake town to lack crab. The server for our party seemed very over it. Which I can understand partially since it was a busy Sunday afternoon. However our Birthday person has a disability, a stutter and delayed speech. Our server rolled his eyes and rushed her to order when she was trying her best. He lacked any sort of patience and seemed to just want to be done with us. The ambience is okay. It's weirdly empty and not decorated much. Overall it's okay but I don't come here unless someone else has chosen this as the venue for food.

    Great ambiance with the live music in the back room! Service at the bar was quick and my slider was the perfect compliment for my beer.

    Good Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner with Irish Soda Bread and a delicious Wiskey Drink! Thank you everyone!!

    This is definitely a new spot that I enjoy. The bartender was nothing short of amazing! She was very helpful and funny. The music was at a decent level. The crabby egg rolls 8.5/10 the chicken sandwich 9/10 the fries are very seasoned 10/10! I can't wait to go back!

There are other parking lots throughout the town which would allow you to be close to the restaurant. There's a bar area, and a dining area. They do have outdoor seating as well. We sat at the bar. Super nice servers. You can tell they are happy and that this is a place where they focus on customers. Could see that there were several locals eating and drinking. Seemed many regulars were there. Ordered onion rings that were delicious. Then had 2 burgers - The Heater (no bun) and the monthly special which had sloppy Joe on it. The Heater was good. The sloppy Joe one was meh as the sloppy Joe part was very light as far as serving size so could barely taste. The burgers themselves are absolutely delicious! They use local butchers burgers (Bowman Butchers). You can clearly taste the difference. So good. We got fries with one (get those) and tots with the other (skip these). This is a terrific place to get good food and wonderful service. We didn't do drinks, but the bar is fully stocked and they have lots on tap. Worth a stop!!

It was a Saturday night so they had local live music which was an added bonus. Food was delicious and our server was so sweet and attentive. I want to try this place in the summer so we can enjoy the outside seating as well. Family friendly and only negative (which is not the restaurants fault) it was a bit hard to find parking. So add a bit of extra time on for that. They don't have their own lot.

Service was perfection. The interior has a great dark wood/chandelier, old-school bar vibe and comfortable seating without it being too noisy when packed. There is some signage about the poet himself. We started of with the "cheese dip" which is an interesting way to describe a pretzel appetizer. But boy howdy, the cheese dip was enormous, which complemented the salty, buttery pretzels perfectly. The stuffed lamb was pretty reasonably priced and came with spinach and potatoes. Both that and the strip steak were a bit heavy on the sauce though, but otherwise, great dishes. Don't forget to swing by the bathroom. I just really like the posters in the hallway. The bathrooms were nice though. Overall, this is a reasonably-priced, inviting atmosphere, and tasty good. Great spot for the area.

Can be a challenge finding parking during peak hours due to all of the restaurants in the area sharing the same lots. There's indoor seating, a bar, and outdoor seating as well. They also have a side porch. The menu is always changing as they keep it fresh and relevant to the season. There's a wide range of options available! They also have lots of specials and drink options. Crafty cocktails, beers (on tap, bottles, cans), wine, and anything else a full bar would have. This time we sat at the bar and happened to catch burger night. We ordered the All American and it was tasty. Also ordered the burrata board and this was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend. It comes with toasted bread, fig jam, and prosciutto. The combo of all these things were amazing. Also ordered a crush flight! Such a cool concept and allows you to try different flavors all at once. Has the lemon blueberry margarita as well and it was just as good. Bartender was very busy but attentive and friendly. We were always being checked on and having glasses refilled. All of the staff were super friendly and helpful. This is a great place that is very welcoming and comfortable. They do a terrific job sharing their talent of creating delicious food, cocktails all in a wonderful atmosphere. Greta place for a fancy dinner to celebrate something or a simple low key dinner at the bar. Give them a try!
