Good food. Amazing ambiance! We still are not sure why an ordered bottle of Prosecco was left on our table by an outdoor server for US to open. We managed, but really not our job. That sort of negated the experience a bit but still would recommend. Sit outside if weather permits. Beautiful!!! read more

1) Atmosphere - beautiful. Antique furniture and dining, art on the walls, and the basement bathroom is unbelievable. Literally. A crazy mosaic that is award-winning; you have to check it out. 2) Food - everything is spectacular. But I have to rave about the BURGER. You will not find a better pub burger in all of Cleveland. 10oz of pure juicyness and joy. It is utterly delicious with a side of buttery home fries. Make sure you're hungry - it's huge. But worth every bite. 3) Service - the servers make you feel at home. Each one of them have been long time workers at Stone Mad and know the traditions of the menu. The owner is the coolest guy ever. He will come and talk to each table; I've even seen him clean up tables by himself, all while greeting and organizing the place! His name is Bryan - say hi! read more

I was here for a business function so can't give it 100% full review but I can speak from my limited experience. Very unique place in appearance, patio and outside fireplace is great, the stonework and designs and downstairs dining room is very cool. Had number of pizzas as part of the meal for the function and they were all very good. read more

I love the vibe of this bar and I absolutely LOVE their patio. The food is hit or miss- some items are delicious and other items are lackluster. I don't understand how an Irish Pub has italian food items on their menu (at least on their HH menu)? I think this is where I was a bit thrown off. read more

Went here for dinner on Saturday night before a show downtown. Sat next to the fireplace, which was warm and welcoming on a rainy night. They had a decent beer selection; I had 21st Amendment Blood Orange IPA, which was very citrusy and light. I ordered the Salmon BLT for dinner and it was very good. Others in my party had the daily special, a burger and brisket sandwich. All had good meals. read more

Very strange indeed. The girl and I are wandering around the neighborhood off of Detroit...nice day...walking down some old side streets in the shore-way area. Italian flags spray painted everywhere, little shops, some closed, old Italian businesses, light industry, some tired old homes, kids playing in the street with the lake in view.. Then we saw it...what the hell!!! Stone Mad Pub... a fortress in the middle of nowhere. This was a bizarre experience to say the least. We arrive at this crazy place surrounded by a thick hand-layed wall..with an iron gate and Celtic style writing in the middle of italian-land. Over the wall are numerous stone table and chairs, a stone 2 story fire pit, and mosaic tiles... cobblestone parking lot So we go inside to this fabulous walnut bar that has been rubbed with boiled linseed oil... hand blown glass fixtures ,walnut wainscoting- rich rich rich!! . Further in is the middle bar, with small intimate tables, art on the walls, more blown glass.. and then the last room...fashioned as an old trattoria, hand painted ceiling, with checked table clothes and a full indoor boccie court!!.......huh? We order the signature Guinness...poured from a special station in a ritualistic way. Impressive!!!.... $6.50 each...Shitty! We move outside, order a cheaper beer for Gods sake, and split a sammy...pulled pork. Dry, like scrape-the-plate dry. Big. No sauce, drippings, mayo...just BAD. A richly dressed waiter tells stories- 3 years to build, 40,000 pavers ..millions of dollars. Seated next to us is a family with crying children...the hamburger looks awesome.... too bad, and the kid couldn't finish it anyway ( should have snatched it off his plate) Anyway ... Romantic for us to be there!... Until - Bill time: $38.00 for 1 sammy 4 beers... and a tip. The older crowd starts to arrive on this late Saturday afternoon...we escape this very odd, schizophrenic high priced white elephant. No Sir...I will not pay for your construction bill...let the others do that. Out. read more

I have so many good things to say. Where to begin. There was about a 45min wait on a Saturday evening. So someone else must like this place too. The waiting is painless though as the bar area in the entrance is just a bar, lots of barstools, a lot of standing room and a little wall shelf running along all the walls so that you can get a drink and sit at the bar or claim a small area of the wall and have somewhere to put all your stuff. I had a winter margarita that was really different and good, the rim was sugar and it was...had to explain but good. We got seated and there was a fireplace right next to our table to keep us warm. The salmon I got was wonderful and the curried cream corn was so amazing I had everyone else try it. Once it's warm out I would love to go back and sit outside. They have an area entirely made of stone - the ground, tables, benches everything. And in the middle of this area are multiple fireplaces with big stone chimneys. Apparently some people will even sit out there and drink whiskey by the fire in the cool evenings. They also have an indoor bocce ball area and an outdoor area in the back. They have bocce ball tournaments there and a trophy by the bar. read more

I happened on this pub courtesy of a vendor who was taking me and a coworker to lunch. I had no idea what to expect when we pulled up the cobblestone drive and iron fence. First off, let me tell you: this is no place for stilettos. My party was practically seated as I carefully maneuvered my way across the cobblestone and brick drive, trying not to break an ankle or a heel. Yes, I take full responsibility for my choice of sky high footwear but I also don't encounter walkways reminiscent of old England that frequently, either. The restaurant itself is interesting. The front of the house is all shiny dark woods, stained glass, and a cozy fireplace. One would expect peet on the fire with a ratty irish sheepdog sleeping near by. The back of the house is bright and airy; light woods, lots of windows and a bocce ball court. Wait - a bocce ball court? I thought bocce ball was Italian? And I thought this was supposed to be an Irish pub? I'm still confused on that one. The menu is pretty small; small enough to be entirely written on blackboard on one end of the wall. I felt bad for my vegetarian companion who had basically one option: salad. I ordered the turkey club, it came with a side of cole slaw. No fries here unless you order them on the side. The turkey was very fresh and very real; no compacted deli meat here. It was delicious although very salty. The cheese and bacon added to the salty factor; I think had it not had that overwhelming saltiness it would've been quite outstanding. I don't like cole slaw but my companions said it was good. I wouldn't waste your time with the home fries. The thinly sliced potatoes had no crunch and no seasoning. I saw them from a distance on someone else's plate and thought (hoped)they were more like homemade potato chips. You can imagine the disappointment when I spooned some of the limp slices on my plate. Overall, I'd give it another chance. Probably when not with a vegetarian friend and won't feel guilty about ordering the brisket sandwich. Also, when the weather warms up and the outside patio open and I can sneak in a nice pint! read more

I guess my expectations were set incredibly high because I really wasn't blown away. First, the two guys in white button ups and colorful ties weren't helpful at all. They just kept speaking to one another, hardly paying any sort of attention to patrons. I even asked what specials they might have, or what's good on their menu since it's our first time! They had no recommendations just said "everything is good!" My boyfriend and I decided to just order the pakrikash appetizer, and when it finally came out, the guys said, "be careful, it's extremely hot"... we laughed as we tried it and it was luke warm. We ate it because it was pretty good, albeit nowhere near hot at all. It's like it sat back there for ten minutes. When the guy asked how it was I stated this to him and he's like, "oh really, sorry, are you guys ready to order dinner?" Haha not at all, guy. Nope. Pay attention and maybe we would've! The bathrooms in the basement were pretty cool! We ended up walking up to Ninja and the service was incredible, snacks were delicious and our drinks were fantastic! read more

Stone Mad Pub - Pubs Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

Friendly service with Irish flair. This place has great food and some killer lemonade. I have been here on several occasions and it has yet to disappoint. The salmon BLT and buffalo pizza are some fan favorites when it comes to the food menu and there are even more favorites when it comes to specialty cocktails. Also who doesn't love a happy hour from 4-7 with drinks specials and some killer apps. This spot is especially ideal for summer days. Their stone patio is one of the coolest around and has ample seating. Or stop by during the colder months and enjoy their cozy interior. This Irish pub is tucked away from main roads but is well worth a visit. read more

Food is bar food but good quality. Atmosphere has a real neighborhood feel, everyone is very friendly. Bar area is very cozy. Awesome patio.

Had a fantastic visit to this beautiful Irish pub in Cleveland just a few miles west of downtown! The Guinness was served at a perfect temperature. And make sure you visit the downstairs bathroom!!!! read more

Very cool place,great beer selection and the chicken paprikash is delicious. Andy is a terrific bartender, we will be back.

A friend and I decided to stop by to check out the stone work and have a couple of drinks and food. We had a great time inside the bar with Andy. The issues did not arise until we decided to sit outside. We were immediately told by the outdoor hostess that the patio was reserved for those dining in. As we were already enjoying drinks, we assumed we were dining in, therefore we were allowed to sit on the patio. 15 minutes into sitting at they table, the older server let us know that we would need to leave if a party of six arrived. We asked if we could order drinks from her. She told us that she could not start a new tab for us, even though we had already paid Andy. 15 minutes later a different server told us that we needed to leave since a party of six had arrived. We walked through the front. There was no party of six. There were approximately 30-35 people at the location; inside and out. We retrieved our cars and drove by on our way to a more welcoming location. We found that we were replaced by another party of two. Sadly, it seems like our presence was not welcomed at the Stone Mad. Thankfully we were not far from Good Company. We are happy that we were not asked, therefore did not purchase the food and drinks that we planned to at Stone Mad. As you desired, we will not be back. read more

Must visit pub!! First off the atmosphere is off the charts. Even the bathrooms are beautifully decorated. The patio is completely stone, I'm super bummed it was too cold to go out there but the fire looked amazing with the snow falling. Only had a couple beers here while waiting for a table at Il Rione so I'll definitely be back. Service was great too. Check this place out for a cool spot to have a drink or two. read more

I would not recommend going here especially if you are planning to do happy hour. My friend and I arrived a little after 4pm and wanted to sit outside on the patio since it was a nice day. We asked the bartender if we could go outside and drink and we were informed that it was fine. Once we went to the patio to be seated we were asked if we were going to eat or not. I informed the waitress that we planned to have a drink and appetizer. The waitress than informed us that it was fine for us to sit outside since we were having an appetizer, but if we had not we would have had to go to the bar. According to the waitress it was going to be a busy night and due to that anyone drinking and not eating would have to drink inside. I would like to point out that when we arrived, only 2 other tables at the patio had anyone sitting at them and there were tons of tables open. (Even by the time we left the patio was still only half full.) Once we sat down my friend and I began to examine the menu. A few minutes later the waitress came back and told us that if we wanted any of the happy hour specials we would have to go to the bar. Due to this my friend and I moved inside to the bar. At the bar my friend and I order a drink and I order the chicken fingers appetizer as a light snack. The drinks were okay and what I expected from a pub. However, when my appetizer arrived I was severely disappointed. The chicken tenders were suppose to be lightly bread. But, it looked like they were not breaded at all. Additionally, the chicken was dry and was placed on top of lettuce/cabbage mix, which was not mentioned in the description of the food. Due to this I ended up picking at my food. Shortly after my friend and I left. Overall, I would suggest not going here for happy hour. read more

Just wanted to try something new and this didn't disappoint. First off let me say the feeling of being in this pub is just like being back in Dublin. It had all the original wood work, and the finishes were stunning. Even the restrooms had the perfect metal detail and tile. Ugh! I could go on about it for days and that's only in the inside. Okay I'm getting really off topic. Back to the dining experience. I ordered the turkey club with bacon brussel sprouts. The sandwich was crazy good, perfect crust on the bread and my right amount of mayo. Yes, mayo is a key ingredient in a great sandwich and they hit the nail on the head. I will definitely be coming back in the night time hopefully when all the amazing fire places are lit. read more

Stone Mad Pub - Pubs Near Me - Cleveland, Ohio

As a east side of Cleveland native I never really venture to the "West side" but on a recent trip home a friend invited me to Stone Mad and I was impressed. We sat outside on the patio where all of the furniture was made of concrete which would seem uncomfortable but was surprisingly not. Since I only went for drinks I cant comment on the food, though those in the group that ate seemed to enjoy it. The atmosphere was nice, as there was low music, a water feature and colored lighting.. One of the owners (or a really drunk man) stopped by to talk about how the lights in the water could change colors and that the porch of the neighboring house would soon become a stage for local bands. Drinks were decently strong and refreshing. This place deserves a return visit the next time I make a trip back home. read more

I recently visited this charming west side pub on a Sunday afternoon. While I loved the outside patio with the concrete seating, we opted to eat inside. I loved the darker atmosphere and we were sat right by the make shift fireplace. I was able to enjoy the nice breeze coming from outside while still feeling toasty. The menu wasn't as great as the atmosphere but I did enjoy the mussels. My other half decided to go with the chicken legs and corn. While he enjoyed his Guinness, I was disappointed to find that Pinot Grigio was not on their wine list. However I'd go back for the atmosphere any day. read more

I came here twice for lunch over a one week period. Their Wednesday special is a chicken pot pie with a side salad. So good! I loved the pot pie and the salad was good too. I make a pretty good chicken pot pie from scratch, but I must say Stone Mad knows what they are doing! The sauce in the pie is excellent, none of that nasty stuff thickened with corn starch. I would love to try their Shepherds Pie next. read more

The patio is beautiful and the inside is gorgeous. The drink menu is impressive. . The burgers were delicious and this was the first time I had a burger cooked exactly how I wanted. Melt in your mouth burger! We thought they gave us two but they did split the burger. If u order the full burger it's 12oz! If u split its two 1/3 lb. burgers I gave them a four because they brought us two burgers instead of the one like we asked but truthfully it should be a 4. 9 stars. We will be back in cooler weather to play bocce for sure and can't wait to enjoy the patio again real soon. read more

So we had a beer and they have extensive selection. Service was quick and friendly. We loved the patio with fireplace and cannot wait to be back. read more

The Irish themed pub was warm, rustic, and inviting. The bartenders were smartly dressed and professional as they served our drinks as we waiting to be seated for dinner. Once seated, our waiter was very attentive and responsive to our party. The chef's special of a generous porkchop, garlic mashers, and glazed green beans; shepherd's pie, BLT salmon, and steak burger were the highlights of the well received meal. The dessert of a "Bocci ball" cake and simple yet large New York cheesecake sealed the deal for the party of 6. read more

Was a Beautiful Saturday afternoon out on Patio and of course the Brisket. Unfortunately our Waitress Amanda not so enjoyable!!!Very snippy and rude ! When asked to repeat what she said because she went so quick snapped back look on the menu. Enjoy Stone Mad but hopefully you don't get Amanda. read more

I have been coming here for years. The staff is excellent and the food is really good. The space is beautiful too. I recommend sitting at the bar and ordering a cocktail and having a Turkey club or a burger or some mac & cheese. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Great patio too. read more

I've been to allota bars in my day. Never have I been to a bar so gorgeous. And in Cleveland. I've heard millions were spent to furnish and decorate Stone Mad. It's obvious where the money went. Even the bathroom tiles will wow you. I've honestly never seen such eye catching bathrooms. The patio, while not very comfy in the physical sense, was lovely. But yeah, my ass was frozen after sitting on that stone bench for a few hours. The fireplace was delightful and provided the sensory comfort that the stone furniture did not. I couldn't stop staring and marvelling at the gates that enclose the patio. It's hard to describe the surroundings at Stone Mad in writing. I just won't do the place justice. Stone Mad has an extensive beer list and friendly staff. It's really a shame that they don't seem to get much business. It was nearly dead on a Friday night. What gives? Could it be the location? Do people not know about it? Very curious. I think you should go and check it out for yourself. It's worth it. read more

I was so jazzed about trying out Stone Mad on our Thursday night date night (before catching a showing of Jurassic Park at Capitol Theatre) and even more jazzed that we had time to have the whole "Stone Mad Experience" - from patio, to food, to the crazy cool potty in the basement, to oh yes, bocce ball. It was lovely. First things first: parking. When we got there it was kinda early (6ish) and I noticed a number of spots out front on the street - some of them would have required parallel parking - but that's no big. We ended up parking in Capitol's lot (probably would not suggest this on busier nights because its rude to steal other people's spaces, but I figured we were headed over after dinner so why not). As we sauntered down w.65th toward Stone Mad it was a scorcher - must have been at least 90 degrees and some ridiculously high level of humidity - so we decided to have a drink at the bar before grabbing something to eat on the patio. We entered through the front door - and as per usual I was confused, do I push, do I pull, do I bust through with both arms? It was like a swinging door type thing but with two sides and I must have looked like a fool trying to make my way through. Once inside there wasn't like a hostess, just the bartender, and a few people milling around the gorgeous warm toned wooden bar, the place just felt very authentic. They had some happy hour pricing going on so I had an unauthentically Irish rum and diet and the boy toy ordered up some of his favorite, Strongbow. As we sat chatting at the bar I noticed other people were coming in and making their way to the back of the restaurant to seat themselves. To make truly sure it was a "seat yourself" type deal we asked the bartender and he said that was cool for inside but that outside there was probably someone to seat you. We picked up our drinks and headed back through the restaurant to make our way to the patio. We were greeted with even more beautiful, warm, and inviting woodwork with cozy little tables spread about. Making our way through the side entrance we headed out to the patio - greeted with a beautiful stone fireplace, plenty of stone seating, and a waterfall. We were given the option to seat ourselves and chose a nice shaded area toward the back of the patio. Was such a great atmosphere that even in 90 degree weather - it was still enjoyable. We then ordered a couple more drinks - a blueberry thrill for me (Stoli Blueberry vodka infused with fresh lemonade, shaken and trimmed with fresh blueberries) and another Strongbow for the man. With our drinks came a cup of pickles - a few tiny ones, a few regular slicked dill spears - I was loving it. Since we had a lot of time before the movie we decided to space out our meal and ordered the Stuffed Peppers (peppers stuffed with chorizo, served atop house made marinara sauce) as an appetizer - so yum. Once it came down to our dinner selections we decided to share and ordered up a Turkey Club (hand carved turkey, with bacon, Irish cheddar, havarti, lettuce, tomato, and mayo), the Famous Beef Brisket (slow roasted, hand-carved, and served on a dusted roll with horseradish sauce and au jus), some creamy mascarpone polenta, and home fries. Everything was delectable. After dinner we were dying for some A/C so we paid our bill and made our way back inside to take another look around. Since it was pretty empty, we made our way to the back to check out the bocce court. I was super excited because nobody was playing and there was only one table of four seated back there so I wouldn't be embarrassing myself in front of too many people with my poor bocce ball handling skills. I asked one of the waitresses if we were allowed to just play, and she said "of course!" so we (drinks in hand, since the sign doesn't forbid it) headed into the court. Of course the boy and I had to google bocce ball rules (thank god for iPhones!) and after some reading up on it decided that we didn't have to be too technical about it. And in case you're wondering - you're supposed to take the smaller ball (the pallina) have someone throw it (underhand only) and then try to get the bigger balls (each team has four) closest to the pallina without touching it or hitting the back wall (alternating turns). Whoever ends up with the closest ball (or balls) to the pallina scores points. Long story short, the boyfriend ended up beating me (but not by much!). Since I had perused Yelp before coming down - I knew I had to check out the amazing downstairs bathroom before we headed down to the theatre. I just had to figure out how to get there first. So, we ended up asking the bartender and were told that "its the coolest thing about the place" and then pointed in the right direction (you get to the stairs through the front bar area to the left of the door that leads back to the dining area). The bathroom is as cool as the pictures make it look. All in all, great Irish experience. We shall return. Sláinte, Stone Mad! read more

I've been struggling for a while to find inspiration to review Stone Mad. It's not that I don't like Stone Mad, because I do, it's just that I am having trouble mustering up any inspirational anecdotes or parables to help describe my time here. Perhaps, at least to me, Stone Mad just doesn't offer much else beyond it's stone face value. First of all, I will echo others in praising the intricate masonry & glass work. As a person in the construction business, I can appreciate all of the hard work and vision it must've took to create. This Irish stone fortress is really something to be marveled. I am confident there is nothing else like it in the world. The millions invested to recreate this space seems like money well spent. My favorite thing about Stone Mad is the patio. It's secluded behind, you guessed it, layers, upon layers of stone. A man made waterfall and wood burning fireplace add to the ambiance. The benches, also made of stone are about as unconformable as an old Catholic church pew. I suppose wicker rocking chairs with comfy cushions would look out of place here and would jive with the whole stone theme though. Overall, Stone Mad seems more of a novelty than a place I'd frequent on a regular basis. While this space certainly promotes good conversation in a classy environment, it seems more fitting for groups than a date spot or a solo venture. read more

Beautiful Bar! Amazing stonework and intricate tile work in bathrooms and beautiful designs in the bar. Too bad that was all tarnish by the terrible, apathetic, and down right horrible service. I went with my mother and her friend for cocktails before actually going to a place with good food. They wouldn't let us pick any table in the EMPTY patio. The waitress was inattentive but the lady constantly cleaning our appetizer plates off was buzzing around us. I actually had to tell her to go away because she was trying to clear my plate with food still on it. The cocktails were mediocre, the waitress didn't know what my drink was (dark and stormy) a fairly common drink, and tried to persuade me to change. She then charged me for each individual ingredient in the drink totaling $9. I asked her about her butchered bill and she just argued with me. Needless to say the tip reflected the service... I'll never be back and left livid. I'm not hard to please, but common decency was lacking in every aspect of that sad excuse for a pub. If you go... Go sit at the bar, the bartenders are friendly and helpful. Otherwise you'll have to deal with brain dead bitter waitresses. read more

Hit up this place late Saturday night for drinks -- what a great hidden gem in this neighborhood. It's within walking distance of the also-fabulous Capitol Theater, so you can totally get sloshed here after you see some indie film your girlfriend wanted to see but which actually put you to sleep. Anyhoo...the outside decor of this place is stunning, although we could only take it in for about 10 minutes before a hellacious thunderstorm. I'm glad to say that the inside is also cool and a bit more my style. We sat near the bar, which is one of those 1950s-style bars (complete with bartenders with black ties) that will make you feel self-conscious about showing up in cargo pants. (Look, I'm a schlub, I'M SORRY.) The ambiance was great, the food that other people ordered smelled great, and the waitress didn't even give us shit for staying and kiboshing well after we were finished with our drinks. Solid place (literally). read more

Meh. I'm not sure what hype is with this place, but that may be because I came for dinner on a cold night, and not for drinks on the patio in the summer. For that, I'll be back some time. For dinner, I won't. For starters, the service was pretty terrible. We stood at the hostess stand for 10 minutes before even being acknowledged, and even then were barely communicated with. We were told there was a wait and the waitress then disappeared. Instead of continuing to stand uncomfortably in the doorway we went up to the front room bar to have a drink while waiting (something the hostess/waitress should have offered) and eventually were seated for dinner. Unfortunately the food didn't make up for the lackluster start. I had the beef brisket sandwich which was only good enough to be edible. They need to at least invest in some real breads/rolls for their sandwiches, not a cold and limp grocery store version which is what this one seemed to be. Maybe this was an off night so I may give them a try again, at least just for drinks when the weather warms up. In the meantime, I'll remain confused as to the glowing reviews I'm reading from my fellow yelpers. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place, as I've had totally different experiences the times I've been there. I was loving this place after having been on St. Paddy's day. I had an amazing corned beef sandwich that came out FAST considering how packed the place was. They had the fireplace on the patio going and it made the outside area considerably warmer. I wanted to go back. I went back for a friend's birthday and we were charged to bring in cupcakes that were a gift for our friend. Ok...not totally startling and I was prepared to pay the fee. We had excellent meals and great drinks. However, we were practically kicked out toward 11pm. The waitresses kept giving us dirty looks and gave us our bills before we asked. Perhaps we were only one of 2 other tables in the dining area, but couldn't they have suggested we move up to the bar area? The pushy staff made my experience bad. I went again and this time, the patio was almost empty. Yet, they didn't let us choose any table on the open patio because one member of our party was on their way and not there yet. So, we went in to the bar to grab drinks. I must say, their happy hour specials are fantastic and the pizza is delicious. After the other member of our party arrived, we went back out to the patio. We were quoted a 40 minute wait for the now crowded patio. We went back inside for drinks at the bar. After one hour, we were finally seated. The service was incredibly slow and the waiter failed to bring the bill after my friend asked 2 times. Overall, the glowing experience I had here was the food and drinks. An unfriendly staff is the downfall here and can totally break an experience. read more

OMG! YUCK! Why would anyone eat here? Menu was limited with boring options. French onion soup was thick and weird texture. I had the "Famous" brisket; let me tell you there is nothing famous about it. The top brisket slice had the shiny, glossed over look of something that was cooked a LONG time ago. It was dry, had no flavor, and so over cooked it was like leather to try and chew. No wonder they push the mushroom and onion topping so much. That would have been the only flavor on this sandwich. If you look at many of the other reviews, they talk about the stone patio, outdoor fireplace, downstairs bathroom (!) and occasionally the drinks and appetizers. Do not even think about wasting your time at Stone Mad. There are so many great food places in the area, try someplace else. Oh, and the best part of our meal was when we left and went around the corner for a fantastic ice cream sundae at Sweet Moses. We should have gone there first. read more

Dear Stone Mad, Please add something vegetarian to your menu. My husband and friends love visiting the fireplace on your concrete patio, playing bocce ball in the back, and sampling the variety of great Irish beers you have on draft. I adore you as well and would have given you a 4 or even a 5 if there was something besides salad for me eat. Some friends and I spent last St. Patrick's Day on the patio and enjoyed the sunshine and fun loving energy of the crowd. The patio was full of friends and families taking in the great atmosphere and live music. Have I mentioned the awe struck beauty of the bathrooms? Yes I said bathrooms. Beautifully pristine antique tiling in both the men's and women's. At a recent visit, both of our guests came out of the restrooms remarking, " Have you been in there? They are so neat!" You are a favorite destination for a great patio night. I love the energy o the place, but you menu leaves me hungry. Cheers! Angeline read more

Strangely enough, I've only been here to drink a few brews, but after my last trip with my neighbors, I can't wait to come back for the food! First off, the patio is incredible. Winter, summer--it doesn't matter. In fact, my friends say sitting in front of their patio fire place in the winter with some whiskey is probably the one of the coolest things to experience. I've never done this, but it sounds amazing. Obviously an entire patio, furniture and all, made of stone is already amazing. Plus, the fountain is beautiful! I just can't wait to come back and get my grub on, but make sure it's a cheat day if you're dieting. It's all comfort foods, for the most part. And it's a la cart, so just keep that in mind. I did have a chance to munch on the amazing pickles they set out at the tables--and being a pickle fanatic, I'm sure you can already tell this made me happy. I have to give 4 stars without trying the food, though. Why? Because just grabbing a beer or cocktail on their patio is worth the rating. read more

I had to do a wedding today for friends at The Stone Mad Pub. I have to say, I've not seen a more beautiful pub/eatery in a long time. The place is absolutely awash in warm woodwork that makes you feel like you're in Ireland, and the drink selection (quite extensive) is replete with scotches and interesting concoctions that will tickle the fancy of many a refined palate. The food selection is mostly old world fare, with a few twists; steaks, burgers, and great sides like the apple/fennel coleslaw make it tasty, and on Sundays they have a fascinating brunch menu with things like red velvet pancakes in warm pecan-laced syrup, as well as breakfast sandwiches that are truly impressive. I was told that one of the owners is a stone cutter, and his skill shows in things like the outdoor stone patio, and the truly AMAZING tile work in the bathrooms. Very nice:) The service was good, and although the food took a bit, it was very well done and tasty when it arrived. I'm going back to Stone Mad as soon as I can, because it's charms are many, and charmed I was indeed. read more

We had dinner here tonight. The soup came out cold but tasted good. Unfortunately our hamburgers were ordered medium rare and came out rare cold in the middle. We sent them back thinking they would cook a new burger but no after peeling off the cheese bacon etc they mushed...the burger back together Now the burger is well done. Horrible experience. The waitress was adorable the food poor. read more

Absolutely LOVE coming to Stone Mad! Authentic Shepherds Pie from actual sheep! I DO MISS the Ragout! What a spectacular side dish! Sprouts and bacon are good 2nd place. The Brie is magnificent and the Chicken Paprikas has a serious kick to it. Our waitress is phenomenal, and I love her directness. A cozy atmosphere (especially when the fireplace is going), well worth the stop. read more
