We had the Clam Chowder- Delicious, one of the best that we have had on our visit to Massachusetts. We also did burgers with fries, all of it was delicious. The burgers were cooked just right and the pickles on the side just took it over the top. Definitely a great stop when in Salem.

They share the space with East Regiment Beer Company, so you get the fun vibes of it being a brewery at the same time. Their menu includes smash burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, salads, chicken tenders, wings, shakes, and fries that go form the most basic to overly loaded. I got the "But Make It Spicy," their spicy chicken sandwich that includes their spicy mixed slaw, house-made pickles, and homemade buttermilk ranch. The size of the sandwich itself is pretty large. Is it worth $14 without any fries or anything else? Maybe. One thing is for sure, it is spicy, so be careful. I am looking forward to trying their loaded fries next time.

We were just stopping in for desserts, drinks and apps and this place delivered. Their over the top milkshakes all looked delicious but we knew we only could finish one. We opted for the special of the month which had an Oreo crust, chocolate shake and the densest, richest piece of chocolate cake I've had in a while. It was a perfect treat to end the night and more than enough for 4 to share. We also tried their Mac and cheese bites which were a hit. They were extra gooey and cheesy and the sauce was a great accompaniment. This place is providing great later night options in a town that didn't see to have many.

The food however was ok. My friend ordered the harvest bowl with chicken and had the veggies pub curry with chicken. Honestly I was expecting the curry to be bomb since Irish pubs are known for their curries. My curry was a bit bland but the worst part was the rice that it was served on. It was so hard and crunchy, it was like they scraped the bottom of the pan where all the overcooked rice was. As an Asian person who eats rice almost every day, it was not pleasant to have to eat this. I notified our server who replaced it. It was a bit better but I still had bits of hard rice. Because of the bland flavor and hard rice, I don't recommend this dish. My friend said her harvest bowl was good so perhaps I should have gotten that.

The service was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. We ordered a variety of dishes with mixed results. I really enjoyed the fish and chips, but my teens weren't fans of their pizzas. The lobster roll was OK, but felt overpriced for what you get. Overall, it's a good spot for families, couples, or larger groups, especially if you're looking to enjoy the view and waterfront setting.

We just went in and dropped a worthy $80 on lunch - 2 tequila mules, a special of buffalo bites (if u are lucky and these are on special again - order them!). Chicken kabob sandwich - juicy, perfectly grilled chicken and my husband got the mouth-watering pastrami sandwich. We packed half of it up for dinner tonight. I only gave 4 stars due to the lousy, noisy, raunchy bar flies. They couldn't care less about other customers as they were shouting and cussing away. Having a conversation with my husband was impossible. The bartender, who was 5 stars in her service to us, attempted to remind these people to stop yelling. I understand being a local, as I am one, and it makes me want to keep my favorite places in business. However, disruptive and rude bar flies should be shut out ff earlier and asked to leave or at the very least pipe down. Ultimately, I highly recommend anyone local or out of town to try The Tin Whistle for the food and service. Maybe try one of the tall comfy wooden booths would make for a better atmosphere.

For food, we shared the Nachos, Clam Chowder and Whipped Feta. Everything was really good including the drinks. I wish we would have either ordered more food to try or came back for another meal. I loved the vibe and interior of The Tavern - it was spooky and old timey. You could see and feel the history of this hotel and it was awesome to experience. The dining room had a bunch of tables, but did not feel overcrowded. The Tavern is a great place to grab a drink and relax. It would also make great for a romantic date night. I also loved that the lobby was decorated with a bunch of pumpkins. Staff were also very friendly and attentive! I would absolutely come back here the next time we are in town! Check them out - you won't be disappointed!
