    Chicken Parm lunch special to go #work
    Chuck T.

    Chicken parm lunch special looks good. Mill street Organic $6.. ok, I guess.. Maybe they have other $6 specials on other days? dunno. older blonde seems cranky about the new girl. she came out all crochety earlier and was talking to mgr-looking guy who seemed cool but I didn't talk to him.. Dude behind the bar was cool too. -- Anyway, food was just ok, and I actually ended up there again in between writing this as a draft and posting as a review and the service really is terrible. Plus, the server had absolutely no knowledge of the beers there.. For instance, we tried to order a Blue Moon, which they apparently don't have anymore but a Rickards Red was suggested in its place.. um.. no thanks.

    Scruffys is back!!!! Just down the street on Eglinton and redpath. It's smaller yes but it has a good atmosphere. The band is playing and the pints are flowing. #mynewoldwaterhole

    a stone building

    I have been hear several times now and it is pretty good. Their take on Spring Rolls are interesting. Several beers on tap to choose from. Not sure how condusive the layout is to a pub though. Multi smaller levels. We will see. If it were me I would take the next layer up and switch the seating to a better pub style and put in a really big screen. Good place to go on a Sunday afternoon to watch the football game.

    Tasty beer

We didn't reserve in advance (which I now highly recommend). The wait was about an hour, but we passed the time at the nearby Churchill with a pre‑drink, and they texted us when our table was ready.

Service for both drinks and food was quick, and the cozy Irish pub atmosphere made it even better. Definitely try to reserve ahead on the website if you can. If not, just plan to relax at one of the nearby pubs until your table is ready.

The live music added a really lively atmosphere and made the night feel special, but it did get a little loud at times, which made it hard to talk without leaning in. We made a reservation ahead of time, which was helpful, but next time I'd probably opt to sit outside instead for a more relaxed vibe!

    Celtic Irish Pub, located steps away from Davisville subway station, occupies the first floor of…read morethe same building as Nevizade (a Turkish restaurant that occupies the upper floor). They share the same kitchen (and perhaps owner too). When we got there around lunch time, Nevizade was still closed but the staff said that we could order from both menus. The interior is typical of that of an Irish pub, with Irish-themed decorations, big TV screens (playing football at that time), full bar section, a small stage (for live music / performances at night), and traditional Irish music playing in the background. The interior was quite spacious with plenty of tables and seatings available (both at the bar and dining area). We were there just a few days after Halloween, so they still had Halloween decorations up (spider webs, skeletons, etc.). I liked the festive Halloween feel. The menu was pretty good - salads, miso salmon bowl, and the typical bar fare (such as burgers and fish & chips). Food was decent (I had the Arugula Salad), and service was nice and friendly.

When you order a pint of Guinness you get closer to half a pint at $9. Probably the most expensive Guinness in town. There is a good reason the place is nearly empty when a big game is on. The good news is that you are guaranteed a seat in front of the TV!

I sat in the sunroof area but was still warm thankfully as its -8c outside! And elderly regular came in and chatted up the waitress who was very friendly. I ordered mild wings and a coffee. The music was low key and thankfully the volume was low. The pub was very clean with many big screen TVs. I think Id like to come back for dinner or a sporting night! The wings were big and I ordered breaded. Good choice! They were super delicious and meaty. I appreciated the three wet-naps! (even with the three wet naps, I managed to leave the place with sauce on my face lol) I chose a single order and I could have eaten a double order. I'll definitely be coming here for wings again. $5 off wings on Thursdays and Sundays all day!! Yay! The service was so pleasant which made for a great lunch experience. So happy with this place. Highly recommend!! PS I still feel uncomfortable taking pics inside, but if you google images, that's pretty much it.

Sure, it was good... but Doc's knocked by socks off. I went here on a recommendation from the staff at a hotel that competes with the Best Western where Doc's is located, which is always a good sign for a hotel restaurant. Got the corned beef boxty, which is amazing. With the boxty fries, which were really good - much better than standard fries, in my opinion. And had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Heavenly. I actually went back two days later after dinner at another restaurant to have the sticky toffee pudding one more time. The atmosphere is very nice, like a pub should be, with good service from the bartender, music the second night I was there, and some good conversation with a fellow traveler from London (Ontario). The odds are high that I'll be back. If you're looking for somewhere to burn all the delicious calories, my suggestions are the Niagara River Recreation Trail (from Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake) and the Niagara Gorge Hiking Trails. Three and a half out of five for Doc's matches. They burn well, and are a cool souvenir, but it's difficult to strike them on the side of the box. Still useful to have around the house where I can strike them on the side of another box, but not ideal for a retro night out on the town.

    Tasty Pub Fare, Great Vibes & Even Better Reuben Bites!…read more Doc Magilligan's is a cozy Irish pub with a solid menu, a great beer selection, and a lively atmosphere. We really enjoyed the live music--it definitely added to the vibe, though it did make chatting a bit tricky at times. That said, the sets were short and added a fun touch to the evening. We started with a few appetizers, and everything hit the spot--the cauliflower bites were tasty, the spinach dip was solid, but the star was definitely the Reuben Bites--absolutely delicious! For mains, my wife ordered the mac and cheese and loved the depth of flavour--you can really taste the leeks, which was a nice twist. I got the chicken parm mac and cheese and thought it was fantastic--the chicken was juicy, crispy, and perfectly done. The rest of our group was just as happy--my brother raved about the Chicken Pot Pie, and the Bangers and Mash were also a hit. Overall, a great Irish pub experience with comforting food, friendly vibes, and some standout dishes. Definitely worth a visit!

Anyway, we showed up on a Thursday evening around 6:00 and the place was about half full, so we managed to snag a quality table right by the window. The primary purpose of the visit, from my perspective, was to drink some beer, but we were informed that all appetizers (except nachos! boooo!) were 50% off. A quick perusal of the menu led me to the Signature Blarney Chips ("Waffle-cut potatoes smothered in kick'd up ale cheese sauce, topped with diced tomatoes, green onions and Jalapeño peppers. Served with salsa and sour cream with chives for dipping.") Okay, first of all, the portion of this thing is *enormous*. This could easily feed four people, so it goes without saying that we wound up leaving about half the plate behind. It's okay. The waffle-cut potatoes are kind of tasteless and the ale cheese sauce is a little generic, while the rest of the toppings don't really make much of an impact. But when you're quaffing beer after beer, I'll admit that these things hit the spot and get the job done. But because we didn't realize how big a dish this was, my dining companion also ordered the Veggie Burger ("Made-in-Pub chickpea veggie patty, arugula, sliced hothouse tomatoes, roasted red peppers and creamy avocado ranch. Topped with a skewer of crispy golden brown onion rings and served with a dill pickle on the side.") It's a veggie burger. It didn't really seem better or worse than the majority of veggie burgers I've ever eaten (and I haven't eaten a ton), although it certainly pales in comparison to the one at Fresh. The mediocre food aside, Fionn MacCool definitely seems like a decent place to go grab a drink or two.
