My wife and I had an early Valentine's Day dinner, or late lunch depending on how you look at it…read more The place was already full on a Saturday afternoon in the bar area, but we had our table waiting for us in the dining room. The host was friendly, our server was upbeat and attentive, and the owner came by to chat late in the meal. A truly welcoming experience. We started off with two Black & Tans (Guinness and Harp) and an order of the Irish Fritters and mini potato pancakes. Generous enough portions of both, that we set aside half to take home for the next day. Our entrees were the Irish Meatloaf dinner and the baked haddock dinner. Both arrived perfectly timed and perfectly cooked. Again, we couldn't quite finish them, so we boxed up the remainder for Sunday. For dessert, we opted to drink ours. We ordered a strawberry Martini and a whiskey cocktail named after the title of Ireland's Prime Minister. All in all, it was 2 hours from start to finish, the bill was $110, to which I added a 25% tip. If you're looking for a real taste of Ireland, look no further than Kitty Hoynes.

For dessert we had the gluten free brownie. It came with ice cream and was very good. We were in a corner of the restaurant and the service was a bit on the slow side.

After a evening of shopping, it was time to wind down so considering the options we chose Coleman's. Place was packed as always. The band was setting up to start to play in an hour. We got a table out back. Hankering for a shepherds pie that is one of the premier meals here. But before that we got ourselves, some spinach and artichoke dip. I haven't had this in what feels like decades. It was pretty darn good. Plenty of chips and plenty of dip. So much so, that I brought the leftovers home. So both of us did go with the shepherds pie. Both of us really enjoyed it. It came out, piping hot, with the mashed potatoes on top, covering up the beef, sauce, peas, onions, and whatever else they put in this thing! A drink to top off the evening.

Update: Just had a…read morebad experience so Im updating my review to reflect that. I think I left my credit card there yesterday during dinner. Called today at 4:30 and the girl that picked up said she needs to check with the bar but they are too busy. She wouldn't check and I was on hold for over 20 minutes. Thats how you treat customers? Im out of town and its at least a 30 min drive and she said "if you think you left it here then Im sure is here". What kind of answer is that? Dropping from 5 to 3 stars for the horrible customer service. I was in the area visiting friends and they took us to Coleman's for dinner and a concert. What a fun local spot! The food was great, everyone enjoyed their meal. I got the guinness beef stew which came out steaming hot in a bread bowl. I loved the gravy, if anything wish there was a little more meat but the flavor was delicious. The service great, our waitress was a nice young lady who was attentive and helpful. Afterwards we went outside for a concert and drinks. The band was playing older and newer covers until 10pm. Was a really fun end to our night, highly recommend.

I sometimes just…read morecrave simple basic food, no frills.( Although they do have many options for add ones and "fancier" burgers). This bar still has the best value for food, in my opinion. The basic burger is 8 oz and priced to include lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and chips. Sides like fries, onion rings, macaroni salad or regular salad can be purchased to add on. I got the basic burger, medium rare and added a small size Caesar salad. My total was $12.... UNBELIEVABLE value. It was cooked perfectly medium rare. My friend had a burger with several toppings and the onion rings looked amazing. My Caesar dressing tasted homemade. You order at a window and pay, then they call your name or buzz you when it's ready. We sat outside on this warm beautiful day in the shade with a nice breeze.

They do not serve food so don't come hungry but good for some drinks and socializing. I can definitely see this establishment being a Cheers situation as they make you feel welcome even for new patrons.

We ended up with a pint of Southern Tier Blueberry tart I believe, topped off with lemonade making them Shandy's. This was at the bartenders recommendation. This is the first time we have ordered liters, they are so heavy you need two hands to drink. They were cold and refreshing for the first half but the heat quickly warmed and flattened the carbonation. I would recommend smaller pours if you want your beer cold. The special was a free hot dog with a liter purchase but upon inquiry they were out of hot dogs. It is a peanut bar but they do not have any other food options. $14 each for the Shandy's. Pleasant staff with a German football vibe.

It has a very authentic Irish pub feel. Late night on weekends the music gets a little crazy loud but could just be the last time I was there. Either way, they have my business when I am on campus.

It's delicious elevated American fare. The servers are very kind and attentive, they're patient every time I inform them of my gluten sensitivity and ask questions. I like this spot because you really can't go wrong with one of their interesting salads! I loved the grilled romaine, zucchini, and fennel salad with chicken. I also really enjoyed the roast chicken from a different dinner. My partner likes their classic burger enough to get it both times we visited. Their chocolate torte is a great gluten free dessert.

Tons of tender corned beef, and just a hint of sauerkraut and Swiss served with thousands island dressing! I ordered an extra for take out for my Irish man at home and short rib tacos. Those did not keep well for take out, more meat and toppings would improve the continuity compared to tortillas. Service excellent, frequently checked upon for refills and food order. Prompt delivery and friendly service! Great place for meetups with a pub sports bar atmosphere. I'm not sure I noticed remanence of the prior press room. Many televisions great for sport events. Menu is simple and pub oriented.
