Finally, now that the 'newness' wore off, 4 of us were able to grab a table with ease. There was live music & they post on their Facebook page regularly with updates on food & cocktail specials. We decided on appetizers: nachos w/ chicken, mozzarella sticks & potato skins. The nachos were really good - I liked the chips they used. The mozzarella sticks were a bit underwhelming, similar to frozen ones I've purchased at BJs. The potato skins tasted like they were made in-house. ABOVE & BEYOND MOMENT: Our server, Jackie, was friendly & patient with our requests. I had asked if they could make a spicy margarita. She asked the bartender & they were out of their jalapeno tequila so they asked if it was okay to muddle fresh jalapenos instead. I said I trusted the bartender to do what they thought best. When my margarita was delivered, the Jackie asked if I wouldn't mind tasting it to make sure it wasn't too spicy. I think the fact they custom made the drink & ensured it was to my liking was great. I see mixed reviews about the prices. I honestly found that appetizers averaging about $15 was on the high side. We'd like to go back for dinner, maybe when there isn't live music. Very loud due to the small space. The ambience is a cleaned up version of J.J. Goodwins & there are (2) pool tables.

There has definitely been a change in the batter for the fried foods. It is thinner now, didn't seem to cover completely and did not leave a crunch to the outside of the food as is customary. We have been coming here for years, usually at least 3 times each season. This season it is one and done. Additional: I contacted POP's Clam Shell through Facebook Messenger (No web site so can only call or do Facebook Messenger) and they said there had been no change in the breading.

We informed the hostess that we had a gift certificate upon arrival. Our bill was $170, $100 of which we planned to pay with our certificate. After a few minutes the owner came to our table and (not very kindly) informed us that the restaurant had changed owners (but not names) and they would not accept our gift certificate. I'm a business owner and happen to know that in NH, gift certificates cannot expire. Considering that the place has the same name as before, I would say that she should have been required to take our certificate. At the very least she should have been apologetic or offered some sort of compensation. We will never go back and will be calling the better business Bureau. Beware!

There isn't a plant based or mushroom burger anymore. The prices have all gone up between 10-30%. The good? Live music on Thursday night with Dave Clark. He plays a wide range of music. Show him some love! Our server was pretty great. Friendly, answered all our questions, and gave good recommendations. Overall, a pleasant local Irish place with many different food options.

Took our daughter out for her birthday and though I told our hostess and server, they didn't offer…read moreus anything special (like a free dessert or something). That was a little disappointing, though she didn't mind because she was experiencing some neck pain and just wanted a drink and meal then go home to rest. But speaking of drinks, the bar seemed slow though we were one of the few tables there at 4:30pm or so. I would give them 4 stars, but all of us loved our food! Even picky 9 year olds! Ha! That almost never happens! Now, one did forget her apple juice and cried because we were going to go back and get it (as she realized when we got back to the hostess station), but daughter said they cleared the table as soon as we all got up. One might thought our server would have said something, but no. As well, they couldn't find our loyalty rewards number when we were getting our checks. Overall, the 5 stars are for the chefs/cooks. My whisky lemonade was very weak, and my husband's Jamison pour seemed short too. It will be a while we return.

The salad appetizer (pears and gorgonzola on top of arugula) and grilled pork chop entrée were both…read moreunder par. The salad appeared to have been dressed with apple sauce mixed with water(!) and nothing else, and the pork chop tasted of ammonia and some other chemical. It was dry and inedible. Took one small bite, even though the smell was entirely off-putting. Tossed in the trash at home. A very expensive experience for what it was. The one star is for the welcoming and amiable wait staff. In spite of the super cold dining room in which we were seated (some of the folks in our party, including me, resorted to wearing coats and hats during the meal to get warm!), they were cheerful and attentive. The cook did come out into the dining room toward the very end of the evening and put the wall-mounted heater on, which took some of the edge off the cold. Lastly, on exiting the building, watch your step! There's a drop of about 2 feet as you approach the door to the parking lot. Anyone with mobility challenges may be unable to navigate this and/or the black ice in the parking lot.

They suffer from the curse of many NH restaurants that try to be too fancy (not necessary) & so miss the mark or they are just too overly impress with themselves & just don't deliver. They suffer from over trying & just don't deliver. We tried the fried oysters appetizer, undercooked, with their overly sweet bbq sauce - yuk. My husband had their special entree mussel frites & the fries were a soggy mess. I enjoyed their fish special & hoping it was cooked well enough so I don't have food poisoning.. I think it was ok but given our eating experience, I'm a little scared. When the staff is a delight, I hate having to write such a poor review but this was a train wreck of plated meals.
