Best new find for me in 2026. I wasn't expecting such tasty food. Stopped in for brunch and was…read moreimpressed by the menu--very smart. Ordered the leek/mushroom omelet and the French toast (which is really a decadent bananas foster in disguise). Both are killer. Enjoyed an Irish coffee with Teeling small batch whiskey (from Dublin) and also sampled a couple of lovely stout beers on tap. Service was friendly and professional. Decided to get some take-out for the kids and went with fish & chips and mac & cheese and nearly didn't serve it to them, wanted to devour it myself. This is where Brookland's Finest used to be. The interior has been revamped and the new design makes it more functional and inviting. It seems like there's more seating. The space can be opened up to let in the gentle breezes, so pleasant. The Harp is tickety-boo. Slainte, indeed.

This is a great neighborhood Irish Pub. I was out with my friends to drink here because I heard…read morethey had Guinness; and it did not dissapoint! Unfortunately the kitchen was closed by the time I arrived so I can not review anything about food. I will say that the atmosphere is very lively, there's a range of hip hop music to irish music that will switch occasionally. The staff here really take care of you; and make sure that you get your order in if it's busy. On a busy saturday night, that's much appreciated! I will definitely have to try out their food next time; a must visit for those who seek good irish food and drinks ranging from beers to good mixed drinks!

After a long day of music and walking, I found myself looking for food close to midnight, and this place came through big time. I ordered the chicken sandwich, and honestly, it was one of the best I've had in a long time. Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. Paired it with a drink that hit the spot, and it was exactly what I needed to end the night. The service was friendly and quick, even that late. If you're staying at the Phoenix Park Hotel or just looking for a solid meal near Union Station, do yourself a favor and stop in. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in DC.

I had been here a few times before as it is a big pre-game bar for the Washington Capitals. When we were in last, the bartender, although extremely friendly, probably needed to brush up on her sanitation standards. Right in front of us she was chopping fruits for drinks. Numerous times she took a break to blow her nose, cough and or sneeze and wasn't washing her hands before resuming cutting fruit. My husband and I kept looking at each other like WTF. Still to this day when we talk about this bar we joke "Don't get the fruit".

The owners were incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel like family. The food was absolutely amazing--everything was perfectly cooked, seasoned so well, and full of flavor.

Thank you for making my first visit such a wonderful one. I will definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend Celtic House to anyone looking for great food and even better people. Cillian was such a great server as well! Very kind and attentive knows everything about the menu and even suggested some amazing entrees and appetizers

The drinks are a good price and they stock classic British pub favourites from Magners Apple on tap to a large variety of Irish whiskey. The food is very reminiscent of british pub food. The fish a chips are good considering they don't have the typical British chippy oil. We also had the batter sausages. Of course nothing will compare to English chippy battered sausages in size and taste but these one were still good and reminded me of home! The servers were wonderful and kind! The atmosphere was very similar to a typical British pub. My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves! If you're a long way from home, this place will make you feel like you're back at your local pub!

We had a great time here for a number of reasons - all the staff were from Philly, which I could hear right away. It seemed many of the patrons were too based on sports logos and accents. The bartender was super welcoming and attentive so we ordered some beers. They also have a check-in offer of a free drink, so be sure to use that if you come in. I had a local DC beer and of course had to have one Yuengling on draft, a favorite beer growing up. It was a welcoming and happy place. I'm sure the bar food is good, we weren't hungry on our visit. If you're in DC and need an Irish style pub to have a drink or watch a game, this is a convenient one near Dupont Circle.

Come for the Guinness, stay for the wings…read more We stopped in late night for some beers and snacks. Service was fast and friendly. We got an order of wings and some shepherd's pie. The wings were top notch! We just got the standard buffalo wings and they were just the right size, well cooked and very saucey. The sauce is great because it's a bit of a unique twist on buffalo. It's nice when every place does not have the same mix of Red Hot and Butter (this was not). So, wings fit the bill. Very salty and spicy if I recall (it was late) and want to come back again soon. My friends enjoyed the shepherd's pie, but it wasn't the best I've had. The beef was kind of mild and the potatoes were not crisped on the top. However, a solid home made offering that you can season as you like and I suppose you can order it "crispy" to make sure it comes out that way. Yeah, I'd order it again.

I ordered the corned beef and cabbage on DoorDash, fully expecting the usual takeout roulette: soggy cabbage, tired meat, and a mild sense of regret. Instead? I got hit with a full-on Irish blessing disguised as dinner. The corned beef was so tender it practically whispered "top of the mornin'" and fell apart on command. No knife, no effort--just fork, bite, and immediate life improvement. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked like someone back there has ancestral pride on the line. And the cabbage? Listen... cabbage is usually just there for emotional support. Not this time. This cabbage had purpose. This cabbage had ambition. By the end, I wasn't "finishing my meal"--I was chasing the last bites like I'd just spotted the end of a rainbow. Container: empty. Dignity: questionable. Satisfaction: unmatched. If this is what survives a DoorDash trip through Old Town, I'm convinced eating it fresh in the pub might unlock hidden Irish heritage I didn't even know I had.
