Food was pretty good , with a burger that was over cooked and dry for a "medium" request and menu has a ton of options. I opted for a Chicago style dog and it was great. I'd have given more stars except for the service. We waited nearly an hour for lunch at 130 on a Friday afternoon and when we finally went to look for our waitress, she was on her way out with our food. She didn't apologize at all but simply said they were busy in the kitchen and they get to the orders one at a time. I'd try here again and hope the service is better. read more

Very disappointed with this place. At first I thought the hostess was just having a bad day when she seemed annoyed and rolled her eyes but our server was also flat out rude. I wasn't sure what to order and she was clearly annoyed by this so I ended up picking something random to avoid her rudeness. The server who brought us our food was apparently also having a bad day and seemed to not like her job or people. Not sure if they are not being treated properly by management since it was consistent with everyone we saw. To top it off the food was mediocre and there was a hair in my sons burger. Would recommend others to avoid this place and spend your money and time elsewhere. read more

Although the food and service is great, I find it very disappointing that as of 5/11/22, they now charge you 3.5% to use a credit card. They hide it on the bill as cash discount. As far as I know, no other restaurant in the area is doing this. read more

Worst dining experience, to start it took 15 minutes to be acknowledged at the bar and the bar was dirty. My orange crush was terrible, more like a screw driver and cost me $8 although I didn't drink it. The ranch and blue cheese dressing were warm, as if it was microwaved. Crab melt was very fishy. Shrimp salad had no taste. Was looking forward to a good lunch and was sadly mistaken. I'm confident in saying i will not be back! read more

5 star experience at lunch. Waiter handle table of 8 really well. Everyone's food looked delicious but I ordered the Concord Club. Sandwich was delicious and well put together. I substituted fries for the standard kettle chips. All the orders came out in a timely fashion and in order. I will definitely return for lunch. read more

Tried to give this place another try but the management here just made for an unpleasant time. I would rather not be checked on every 5 minutes. We sat on the original side and thank God for the bartender over there. She really killed it. Had no help, sat tables, took orders, and served the bar. I asked her if she was the manager and she said no. She pointed out who was the manager on duty and she was sitting at a table on her phone!? While one of her staff was working her ass off. The only reason I will be back is because of this bartender, so personable and really made for a great Saturday. read more

I'm so glad this place is open during COVID...went Sunday afternoon...food was AMAZING, but the bartenders paid no attention to our empty drinks...one of the serves named Crystal, we kept asking for a refill...and she gladly did...just wish the bartenders would have paid more attention as they weren't that busy or they might have got a tip like Crystal...Thanks Crystal! read more

Great orange crushes and wings! Crab dip is good too! Everyone was super nice and accommodating with splitting the check.

I recently had my retirement party at Coakley's. The service, food and accommodations were excellent. Chelsea, Margie and Will were so helpful and very attentive from the planning stages through the actual event. They suggested a menu and it did not disappoint! The Jamaican wings and the key lime crushes were were the bomb! The room was the perfect size. Coakley's did an outstanding job and helped to make my celebration a night I will never forget:-) read more

Went for drinks and ordered mojitos. The bartender had no idea how to make a mojito (she even asked us what it was) as it was lacking the necessary ingredients of mint and lime so both drinks were rather sad. Next time, I would just order a beer. read more

Wishing I had better things to say about this place. Saturday afternoon is not the time to come in to Coakleys for a meal. The owner claimed they were extremely busy and that's why it took over an hour to get a salad with tuna, a cheesesteak, claims trips and two kids meals. For the price of "high quality top chefs" the food left a lot to be desired. A 15$ for a tuna meal that was mediocre is simply not worth it. The owner wasn't pleasant to talk to and offered to heat up my overcooked tuna but also said "well this isn't a fast food restaurant". I had higher expectations given the reputation of this place. Sorry to say they have lost another customer. read more

Came here with a focus on crab. Two of us had crab cakes and they were ok. One had crab soup and a salad. He said the soup was good although could have used more crab meat. I had flatbread with shrimp and crab with Alfredo sauce, chopped tomatoes and old bay seasoning. It wasn't bad but wasn't a great recipe. It was mediocre and I added more old bay. Perhaps a different combination on flat bread would be better. Didn't really think the Alfredo went well with the seafood. read more

It was our first time at Coakley's; FANTASTIC! Excellent food, music and service! Chrystal was the best! We were from out of town and had excellent service. We will be back! read more

I have been here a few times for mom's night out. This is a fun place to just hang out and relax, and the food was really good. Service was a bit slow however, again we were there to just relax and take it easy so there was no need to rush for us. read more

Have been enjoying the steamed shrimp and old bay wings at Coakley's for many years now! They have the best staff and management team in the area and everyone gets service with a smile. Love their salads, ahi tuna, steaks and shrimp wraps too! Recently added is their outdoor patio/lawn complete with a stage for live music on weekends. read more

Skip it. A locals bar with the dregs. Consistently flat or just none on draft and what they do have is warm. And honestly the worst food. I don't know how many times I've asked for a steak cooked medium and they couldn't do it with a gun to their head. Not even close. Pathetic. Soon something else will be located here. read more

Great Irish Pub! We just stopped in for a cocktail and a few snacks. The place reminded us a bit of pubs in southern Ireland. The Guinness was good and the friend pickles rocked!! Thank you to the bartender, as he is one of the few Americans that understands how to poor a Gusinness. read more

If you like the smell of cat piss this is the place for you! Obviously they must have cats living under the place. The smell was really bad. I'm surprised that ownership has not taken care of this problem. Service wasn't very good. Took a long time for our food to show up. I don't have a problem spending $15 for a crab cake sandwich..... It was just so so... Nothing special. At least the beer was good. read more

I had given Coakleys a bad review many many moons ago (since removed). We gave it another shot today after 10+ years. I'm upgrading it to a 5. I was very impressed today with the service, the food, the atmosphere and the cleanliness. If you go - and it's still on the menu - get the seafood Mac-n-cheese or the blackened chicken Alfredo. You will not be sorry!! We also had the seafood nachos and it was better than Woodys (so that's saying a lot!!). The menu doesn't read like soooo many other places that have all the exact same food, although, they do still have wings and sliders and a ton of different pub style burgers. The Coakleys have done an **outstanding** job fixing the things that seemed overwhelmingly wrong to us so long ago. WE WILL BE BACK! Big thanks to the staff for a wonderful experience! read more

Great place, amazing food, love the people, ice cold beer. Love this place. Just had an amazing seafood alfredo tonight, with a delicious house sald... everything was fresh and on time. Im alwayd blown away by the entire experience, seriously read more

This place wasn't bad. We went on a Saturday night and besides the fact that there was no parking, we had a good time. We actually had to park across the street, sort of near Tidewater and Magerk's parking lots. We got seated in an awkward part of the restaurant though, with only about 4 or 5 tables in a small room. There was only one other table filled in there, and it was two parents and two young kids under 5. The beer came out quick and the prices are ok. They have things like Sierra Nevada listed under import bottles though, so don't go here expecting a big beer selection. I was actually pretty disappointed in their beer selection. They have mostly mass market stuff you find everywhere and their draft selection was weak. Their "seasonal" beer was just non big brews they usually don't offer. They did have Newcastle Werewolf though. I ended up getting a Dogfish Head IPA and my wife got a Smithwick's. Each beer was about 4.50 which I thought was pretty high. For food, we got the crab pretzel which was really good.The crab imperial that is topped on the pretzel had a really unique flavor, different from what I'm used to. It was very filling. I ordered the Cajun chicken sandwich for my entree with steak fries (not my favorite...very soggy) and my wife got the black and blue burger w/ waffle fries. Both came out quick and were cooked pretty much to order, except for my wife's burger being a little undercooked. She ordered medium well and although the outside was dark and near charred, the inside was still rather pink (I dont know if it was a frozen patty). Both sandwiches were a nice sizes. Overall, we left full and the prices weren't awful. All in all we spent $40 bucks for two sandwiches, an appetizer, and two beers. Service was also good. I think it would probably take a lot to get me to go back there though. As far as bar food, I have a few other places I prefer (like Dark Horse Saloon in Bel Air). Also, I'm sure the actual bar areas are much better... but where we were seated was just awkward. read more

We had the crispy chicken salad and the captain chesapeake sandwich. Both were very good. The chicken in the grilled chicken sandwich was a little overdone and dry, it would have been better thinner as well. But was still quite tasty and the toast was wonderful. read more

As usual....great Early dinner..Thanks for the great service Krystal... Yummy food and great attention to young Nelson ,

The cream of crab soup and grilled chicken salad were excellent. My husband ordered a burger medium well and it was more like medium rare. We drank bottled beer and they were not very cold. We were seated on the back side of the bar and were neglected. The bartender, Jeff, kept complaining when he had to spend time on our side of the bar, that he had to get back out front before they killed him. Maybe you should have more than one bartender on a Saturday afternoon. Also, I wanted to purchase some t-shirts for some friends whose last name is Coakley and Jeff complained about having to go get them because he was supposed "to be playing bartender". Hey, I'm spending money in your establishment. You should be a little more appreciative. Next time I'll go up the street to Lagom. read more

Came here with two kids and ate outside. Looked like they were renovating the place. We almost left because we couldn't find the front door. Saw another couple leave who couldn't figure out how to get in. Once inside staff was friendly and food was good. Good crab pretzel and typical and decent pub grub. Nice party area outside. read more

I've been wanting to stop in Havre de Grace for years driving up and down I-95, but never got around to it. Well, I finally did and wish I'd done it sooner. My daughter and I stopped here in our way back to DC from a trip to NJ/NY. Coakley's is a great Irish pub with friendly service and friendly patrons. We felt welcome immediately. They had a great menu with lots of choices to satisfy different tastes, but we were just taking a break from the traffic and exploring, so just had some Mucho Nachos. They were the just what the doctor ordered. Perfect fuel to hit the road again. I'm looking forward to swinging back through on my next trip! read more

Great place ! Haven't been back since the shutdown!! The whole Pandemic!! Food was very yummy!!

Wait staff seemed a little unsure but overall a good experience. Ordered the blackened salmon and Caesar salad, definitely exceeded my expectations! read more

We were there last night, the food was very good, the service was excellent, we sat outside next to a nice heater, and listened to great music! Perfect evening! We will definitely be back! Two guy band last were incredible!!! We had fried pickles, I had the french dip (so much meat), and my boyfriend had the Buffalo wrap. I think my french dip was better than the buffalo wrap but it was all great!! read more

On Fridays the second thing I think about after my AM coffee is my happy hour beverage with Coakley's Bacon Wrapped scallops! Chelsea always make sure we set for a great evening read more

Coakely's was awesome. Crystal was fabulous. The food was awesome. We had family fresh in from TX. They love everything with crab

Foods ok not worth the price or wait. I've always had to wait no matter what ordering from here. Last time I ordered off Uber eats waited over an hour and they hadn't even started my order. read more

The fried pickles, wings and both types of crab soups arrive hot and very tasty. We will stop back again and try other menu items in the Spring. read more

Great local restaurant ... just completed their new outdoor bar and seating area and it is awesome ! It's our "go to" with our friends for a nice evening outside ! read more

Visiting from out of town...great pub atmosphere, yummy seafood, and waitress very friendly and helpful.

Awesome new find! COAKLEYS PUB IN HAVER DE Grace I went by Coakley's on Saturday to drop off some info about our band for the owner. We decided to stay for lunch. My new favorite place! I'm a vegetarian and it's often hard to find good restaurant food. Coakley's wins the prize "broccoli, mushroom and Swiss melt" five ***** ! It was fresh, cooked to perfection and delicious. My lunch companion had the seared tuna salad and said it was also "perfect". Also the service was excellent. Brittany was our server and she was efficient and just the right amount of friendly without invading our privacy. Even if we don't end up playing a gig here I will be back with vegetarian friends lol. read more

We were there for drinks and dinner for FirstFriday The beer was great. Cold and cheap. Food service was SLOW and waitress very unfriendly and unapologetic Wings were decent French onion soup was terrible!!! Ultra salty. Place could use bit of a overhaul because if smells OLD read more

I was in Havre de Grace this past week and ate at Coakley's twice. The cream of crab soup is excellent, I order it every time I'm there. The cheesesteak is really good as well. So, if you ever find yourself near this cute little town stop by Coakley's, grab a cold one and enjoy some wonderful food. read more

I remembered this restaurant being amazing. Went to eat after the candlelight tour. My husband and I are more than positive the server was drunk! Mainly because we saw her take a shot. What a zoo. Never got our food. Didn't pay for both rounds of drinks which was nice. We were starving, went to McDonald's and it was perfect. read more
