The place wasn't too busy yet, but there were a fair number of people at the bar and lots of tables open. Someone offered to slide over to make room for three of us together, which was really nice of them. We ordered three old fashioned cocktails and none of us expected anything out of the ordinary being an Irish pub and all; however, were all very impressed with them. Didn't catch the bartenders name but it was a lady and she slung some good ones. We even considered ordering another round knowing we we'd be late for our appointment!

The ownership booked a private party in the area where the band was supposed to play. The party was supposed to end at 7. This is what we were told by the only bright spot our server Steven. If I tell you the birthday cake for the party came out at 9:30, you can get the idea of where I'm going. The band was canceled and at least 44 people were disappointed. More disconcerting is that the management didn't give a damn. I wouldn't have been there if it wasn't for the band, and I will never return because of the management's attitude!

Our server was Alyssa, she is super fantastic, explained menu, answered our questions, told us about the specials, she was friendly, professional, knowledgeable of all menu items and really made our visit a very pleasant time throughout our dinner. We each started our dinner with a bowl of homemade soup, my wife had clam chowder, and I had the soup of the day which was beef barley. My wife ordered Shepherd's Pie. It's a huge portion loaded with ground beef, vegetables, topped with mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese and baked to a golden brown. She thoroughly enjoyed every bite. I ordered the Prime Rib Special. It was beautifully cooked to a medium rare perfection; it was super tender and melted in my mouth. I got mashed potatoes and sautéed veggies. It also came with a container of Au jus. We did not have any room to attempt to try any dessert, but we will definitely save room on our next visit. I highly recommend Blackjack Mulligans especially if you want good food with fantastic service, having a great experience and a phenomenal time.

From start to finish, everything was absolutely phenomenal, and the entire night exceeded our expectations in every way. The food was outstanding, the drinks were flowing nonstop (seriously--every time my glass was almost empty, a fresh one magically appeared), and the service was truly out of this world. The staff was attentive, welcoming, and on top of every detail, making us and our guests feel so well taken care of. We are especially grateful for the team going above and beyond by closing the restaurant and bar down for us, which truly elevated the entire evening and made the celebration feel so personal and special. A huge and heartfelt thank you to LeAnn, Christina, and the entire Blackjack Mulligan's team for all of your help, kindness, and professionalism. You went above and beyond to help us celebrate such a meaningful milestone, and we are beyond grateful. Andre's big 30th was truly a night we will remember forever. Thank you again to everyone at Blackjack Mulligan's for making this celebration so special--we can't wait to be back!

3/14/26: Danaher's Pub used to be the old "Thatcher McGee's"…read more I'm not a big pub food eater. However, the food was much better than I expected. It was a Saturday night and it was really noisy. Anyway, we were seated right away. The server first took our wine and beer order. We then ordered the French onion soup and the Panko Crusted Goat Cheese Salad with Grilled Chicken. While we were waiting for the food, we needed water. We finally caught our servers attention and mentioned the water. Our food arrived at least 35 minutes plus after ordering. The French Onion Soup and Goat Cheese Salad were delicious. The soup had lots of yummy cheese. The warm crispy fried goat cheese medallions were so darn delish! In the meantime, still no water. We asked the server again. The water finally came. The servers were very friendly. Think the pub could use a lot more servers, particularly on a Saturday night. The inside decor is a bunch of old wood shellacked tables. Think the furnishings could use a major upgrade. The food is what really impressed me. Based, on the good food, I would give Danaher's another try, but not on a busy weekend. A large parking lot is available.

Celtic Corner 312 Lafayette Ave…read more Hawthorne, NJ 07506 Thai Chili Wings Bavarian Pretzel Steak and Arugula Sandwich Classic BLT Crab Cake Sandwich Literally located on the corner of Lafayette Avenue is a local Irish pub with a variety of lunch and dinner options. In addition to having a full size bar and main dining area, the walls are adorned with very attractive wall art. Thai Chili Wings: The wings have a perfect blend of sweet and spice. As always, the blue cheese dipping sauce is the backbone to this appetizer. Bavarian Pretzel: In lieu of being shaped into a knot, the bavarian pretzel looks like a hot dog. I may not agree with the appearance, but I 100% agree with the taste. The pretzels are war and crispy on the outside while soft and doughy on the inside. And don't be shy with those helpings of pretzel salt! Steak and Arugula Sandwich: This tender, superb sandwich was cooked medium rare and served with sauteed onions & mushrooms on ciabatta bread. Classic BLT: Served on Texas toast, this sandwich has an addition of mayonnaise and avocado to supplement the three primary ingredients. Crab Cake Sandwich: For an Irish pub, this was an excellent seafood sandwich. The crab cake was breaded with panko crumbs and had a variety of toppings. The chipotle aioli sauce was the backbone to this boneless meal. As a bonus, this pub hosts special events throughout the week from Trivia Night to live bands. This pub serves excellent meals and it goes to show you don't need alcoholic drinks or cocktails for a great dining experience! #celticcorner #hawthornenj #irishpub #thaichiliwings #bavarianpretzels #steaksandwich #BLT #CrabCakeSandwich #eats #localspots #foodreview #foodstagram #njfoodie
