Can we give this NO STARS? We took a chance and ventured in to try some good brews and irish food. 1) BONE in the classic cheeseburger (we were told to expect this as it is pre packaged... by the manager) 2) COLD rueben sandwich (no help) 3) 2 EQUALLY GREASY shepherds pies.. tasted like DOG FOOD. we decided maybe German Shepherd Dog food should be the new title of this entree. The only "sorry" we could get was free dessert? Not even a sorry - just pure defensive attitude. We were treated with disrespect and hostility after kindly asking to speak to a manager. Not a good experience for a Friday night out and very disappointed. Gordon Ramsey please raid the hell out of that kitchen. read more

We braved the crowd on St. Paddy's Day and I'm glad we did! They were on an hour wait so we hung by the bar which was predictably crowded but got served within 5 minutes of arriving. A live band was playing Irish music and a man with bagpipes walked around playing beautifully! The hostess was a bit disheveled and seemed to have a hard time keeping track of the wait list but she was very friendly and went searching the whole restaurant to find my husband and I a table when she realized we were still waiting about 30 mins after arriving. We sat within an hour. Our server was terrible but the food was wonderful! Their corned beef was insanely delicious. The Guinness was also fantastic. If you have the patience and can appreciate Irish fare and atmosphere I recommend trying this place next SPD. However, if that's not for you, stay away and go somewhere else. I've also been to Mannion's on a Saturday night and had a good time with friends. Bartenders do a nice job and the booze is always good. Food has always been good, too! read more

I love this place....come here all the time... everyone is really friendly and amazing... there wings are amazing.... definitly recommend coming here all the time... read more

What a shame! After coming here for years was looking forward to another St. Patrick's Day feast. I called to make a reservation and the woman answering the phone was very rude, like I was wasting her time. Made the reservation anyway for St. Pats day but had to call back to cancel and came back the day before, luckily a different pleasant voice. We arrive and order and then feel like we are rushed as the apps came at the same time as entree's and the servers had not a care in the world when I asked why? And of course during the meal not once did she ask if everything was allright. The bathrooms are a joke, you think with the money they bring in the owner can have someone clean them or maybe upgrade them! And to top it all off as we were leaving the hostess can see that we are leaving, would it hurt her to say thank you and have a nice evening! Last time we go to this dump! There is a new restaurant taking the place of Cryan's called Willie McBride's in North Branch,NJ and we are there!! read more

Tons of selection of wings. In fact, too many (for me, I am a classic wing guy), but still they were good. I got the Shepherd's Pie. It was a normal size, filling to my stomach.... read more

During my year in somerville I went on a wing mission to find the best wings in the area. This place has the best wings in the Somerville area. Perfect environment for beers and happy hour as well. read more

Great place to hang, great food and fantastic drinks!

Another place in town that has continued to stand the test of time. They must be doing something right, like a fantastic Reuben. They definitely have all the Irish classics on the menu. Simple yet tasty. Good bar food. read more

Limited beer selection, expensive food, unless you're there for lunch. And terrible music in my opinion, coupled with an old crowd. Just wasn't my scene. The place seems outdated and the bathroom was horrific for such a large place. read more

I really enjoyed the food here. The wings are delicious and the shepherds pie is amazing. The staff is really nice as well and they know how to make a yummy drink there! read more

Really good Irish Pub grub in the middle of what is becoming one of the most happening towns in New Jersey.

Excellent beer. Friendly service. Lots of excellent food options, even for a vegetarian. Can't say it was five star cuisine, but to be able to eat so well at the bar at a pub in s pleasant atmosphere was s real treat. That broccoli. .. yum! read more

Beer is good, with a fun atmosphere... But don't eat here. There are so many other good restaurants on Main Street. I love Irish food but the food here was terrible! read more

The bartender was great and we had a pretzel to die for. The best I ever had... great place!

As a member of multiple Irish-American and Irish-Scottish Societies I was appalled to admit I was of Irish Heritage on Saint Paddy's Day after the way i saw the restaurant management treat a large group of people. St. Paddy's day is a celebration of the kind good nature and the fun loving spirit of the Irish. The way the women at the front door and the man who claimed to be the owner treated a group of people while I was eating dinner at a near-by table was disgusting. First limiting people to an hour and one half to have dinner and drinks with friends creams GREEDY. Not the way of the true Irish who always have room for a friend and there are never time limits of having good fun, good spirits and friendship to all. I am sure St. Paddy's Day is amoney making evening for them, however it is once a year and the amount of people I heard saying they would never be back because of the rude way they treat this group, will cut into their bottom line far more than letting people stay and party; the true Irish way. As far as the fare went. It was mediocre at best. The cabbage soup tasted like dish water with absolutely no flavor. Washed out taste at best. After having the soup I decided to stay with American fair. The hamburger while substantial in size was dried out and overcooked. I asked for medium rare. Our waitress who was also the waitress of the table who was rudely treated, was lovely. I can't fault her service for as busy as it was. I got there at 4pm and until 5:30-6PM there were tables all around us that sat empty and unattended yet they wouldn't seat anyone in them. I heard numberous times the group in question ask why their other friends couldn't use the table, since there was a time limit on them. Very poor business planning. An empty table is an empty wallet. Many times I have made reservations and had to wait for a group to leave and restaurants to clear out. Any customer understands that and why tables stood empty reservations or not was poor planning. I frequent this pub at least once or twice a month, but myself and the rest of the people in my group will definitly not be coming back. There are way to many good Irish pubs in the Somerville, Manville,Bridgewater area to have to frequent a place where the spirit of the Irish and their welcome attitude towards everyone who graces their door is still alive and well. Definetly can say this is off my list of places to eat. Besides good fare it is so important to treat everyone nicely who visit your establishment. I listened to everything that was said at the table near us and the one women after being treated rudely called the women at he door a B...h. I am not prone to profanity but in this case it was a title rightly owened. The women at the door if she didn't recognize people as regulars treated everyone , even those with reservations in a very nasty and unprofessional way. It might have been a busy night, but there is no excuse for not being cordial to all patrons. After all, everyone is Irish on St. Paddy's Day. Was a deblorable experience and I blame management not the group of older women that were treated so badly. The group was I guess 45 to 75, definitly not raucous teens and to see how they were treated was distastful at best. read more

Great for live entertainment. Where else can you go in this area to have a couple of drinks, enjoy live music that isn't in your face. (I hate when bands set-up a wall of speakers when they play, it's the local bar you're playing at, not Giants Stadium) read more

I like this place for their prime rib queen cut on friday nights, and their great beer! Place always pleases, and has nice outdoor seating when weather permits. My friends like the corned beef and cabbage. read more

Won't be back. We ordered two corned beef sandwiches and requested extra meat. Got fries and onion rings as well. Well neither sandwich had extra meat. We were charged extra as well on our bill. They did not rectify this. Sandwiches had three pieces of corned beef. That's not extra meat. Sandwiches were flat. Waitress did nothing told no one .no manager came over to see what was up. So no tip for the waitess and we won't be back. Our bill was $37 we each had a soda as well. Hopefully you lose more business. Poor customer service read more

Drove up from Seaside Hts, to satisfy a craving for Ruebens. What a mistake! Service was terrible. Waitress Tatiana was preoccupied with her cellphone, even stepping outside (watched her through the window) rather than attending to customers. Blaring Rap and Hip Hop for dinner music! When we got there, where told to seat ourselves than waited 15+ minutes to order a drink. When Ruebens came we were presented with an empty bottle of ketchup for the fries and then Tatiana disappeared. I had to get up and borrow from other diners at next table. The bread was burnt and had the consistency of cardboard. If we weren't hungry we would have left. We're not "regulars" but do go there occasionally and this was not acceptable. read more

Was in mood for corned beef and cabbage to celebrate St Patrick's Day thought this would be a good place to go WRONG....service is poor, but food was worse. Way over cooked and pretty tasteless...I think it was all left over from yesterday. Definitely won't be back. read more

Service wa quick and pleasant. Prices are where they should be. Great seating outside . Only had a sampler but it was ok . But ill be back for dinner read more

Stay away from the Saturday night crowd. I have no words for how insulted I was by the crowd and the behavior of some of the patrons. Never again will I go here. read more

place runs well when the owner is there, but when he isn't the waitresses just fool around and screw up the orders. Had it happen one too many times last night and will not be returning. I get the feeling this place is not taking the food service end of the business all that seriously. I mean, I get that it's a pub, but the staff is really bad. Had to get up twice from the table to find our waitress and seriously, the place was empty. (which is also kind of troubling). read more

Just went to Mannion's to celebrate St. Patrick's day, the staff was extremely rude and rushed everyone to sit and then leave your table when your time was up. The hostess came over to us and rudely said you need to leave your table within 10 minutes. We hadn't even received our check yet!, never again! read more

We came tonight for dinner after the Holiday Jubilee. We were seated right away as 2 couples with 2 young kids. This was at 6:35. We just ended up leaving at 9 pm because apparently it takes 2 hours for food to come out. We understand it was a packed bar but with knowing there was a holiday function going on In town they were definitely not equipped with staff. The food magically ended up coming out after I complained that we have waited over an hour for our food...we got the bill to find out we were charged $10 in FRIES because when the waitress asked us if we wanted fries with our meals we were failed to be told they were a $3.50 extra charge. Thankfully our kids who are 2 and 1 were good mannered tonight because apparently the restaurant could care less that people just wanted their food to eat and didn't want to spend all Night there. read more

Looks like the pub could use a sprucing up and a new cook, judging from the comments. How about it, Pat?

Our first time will be our last time. The outdoor plastic tables and chairs should have tipped us off but we were hungry and desperate and my son had to have a hamburger. First, the waitress got my drink wrong and then my dinner did not come as I had ordered it (without a bun). Not a big deal but annoying. I ordered a chicken sandwich that was by far the nastiest piece of chicken I have ever tasted. It was supposed to come with "avacado" but I guess for them that means some sort of green slimy spread that alone tasted like a sock. It was just gross. I only ate the potato chips. Looking around at my family's plates and the other tables around us I knew we would regret paying money to eat there. My strong advice, skip it, unless of course you are only going there to get drunk. If you're hungry, go across the street and buy a sub at Shop Rite. read more

Outstanding! Great food and service! Wings are a 10 out of 10, they are crispy and delicious! Top 5 I've ever had.

My friend and I stopped in for lunch after the street fair. The place was empty except for us. We were going to order a burger, but the waitress talked us into the specials of the day. Well they were special alright. We both ordered the chicken BLT sandwich It was very skimpy, had thin sliced chicken 1.5 piece and a half slice of bacon on each have along with 1 thin slice of tomato, plenty of lettuce, was dried out tasting. Oh took 40 mins to get that waste of a sandwich. It came with fries which were cool and rubbery you know like the fries that sit out for a couple of hours. Never again... it does smell like must in there.. I wonder who they pay to write the 4 star reviews???? read more

Figured go to an Irish Pub the day before St. Patricks Day. Ordered a fish and chip dinner, Disappointing. Not much fish for the price and what I got was basically tasteless, wife's fish was the same. Very noisy, had hard time hearing the person across from me. Music was not so good. Ordered a Magners Hard Cider, thinking it would be draft. Waitress brought a bottle, my mistake, I should have clarified. read more

True Irish menu, which is not easy to find, but the Irish are not known for their gourmet cooking skills LOL Food is good but on the pricey side, nice decor and limited outside seating read more

Food was really good, I went in the afternoon and it was pretty empty. Staff was friendly, the only downside was that our waitress kept us waiting a little longer than we would have liked. I would come here again if in the area. read more

Mannion's is great. The staff is awesome, and the hostess is very accommodating. The owner is very personable and the food is impeccable. Mannion's is a great place to be at any time of the day, any time of the year. read more

what a disappointment, St patty's day offerings included hamburgers and good irish ale served in a crap plastic cup. music poor, and not visible from the dining room, Food was mediocre, overpriced, service was friendly, wish we had chosen another pub, this one has seen better days. beer belongs in a pint glass if you re indoors esp when your charging $7 read more

Old style pub good service and decent food choices, live music, had a good time here, stopped in after a HS football game, Good cooked beef sandwich. read more

Food just isn't as good as it once was. I do better at home. The atmosphere is fine and staff are nice the service is okay. Just wish the meals were as good as several years ago. A little less food in my opinion and blander. read more

I love Mannion's/Clubhouse!!!! The food is always first rate and the staff is very friendly. Most importantly Heather is a wonderful bartender and easy on the eyes. read more

I have never writen a review on line about a restaurant before; after eating at Mannion's Pub I felt I had to post my review. I read all of the negative reviews before going so I was warned, however I thougtht I would keep an open mind give it a chance. That was a bad decision! My wife and I wanted to try something different and we love Irish pubs. Mannion's was bad - bad service, bad food, bad management, bad environment ... Listen to me and to the reviews. Try another place. read more

Needed an Irish Pub fix. There were three of us and we found Mannion's. We sat at the bar and the bartender Chris never let our glass get empty (and we are quick drinkers). Ordered wings as appetizers and were very good. For the meal the other two characters ordered sandwiches and I had the Pub Steak. The streak was huge and delicious. The other two were very happy with their sandwiches. Overall I give it a "Looking forward to my next visit" rating. Good job. read more

Old Irish pub feel, like that of NYC. Excellent customer service, seated and served promptly. Specialty dishes that we ordered were plentiful and delicious. There was a band in another room that you could hear well enough without disrupting your conversation. Our server was very attentive to our need to make a paint class in a neighboring building. We will definitely be returning. read more
