I travel a lot for work and it has been my experience that restaurants/bars within hotels are usually just so-so. Imagine my surprise when my boyfriend raved about this place and practically dragged me to eat here. Man, what an experience. We were the only ones having lunch at the time so we got a ton of attention from the friendly and quick wait staff. The best part was the food. The pork poutine (pork, gravy, and cheese over fries) was unlike anything I had ever tasted and every bite was as delicious as the last. My burger was honestly the best burger I've had in as long as I can remember- the bacon was perfectly crisp, it was cooked exactly to my liking (med rare) and the veggies in it were all fresh and flavorful. Lastly, we came at the perfect time when the chef was trying out a new dessert menu item, a deconstructed peach cobbler ice cream and it was brought to our table as a very nice complementary gesture. I would recommend this place to anyone... You will not leave hungry or disappointed! read more

Staff is super friendly, and the food was wonderful. I got the Mustard Rubbed Cod and it was to die for.

I have been here on several occasions, and while most were great experiences, my last visit there was so bad that I don't know if I will go back again for a while, if ever. Sunday nights are pretty quiet at most restaurants and it was no different here. However, there was no one at the hostess stand and no one appeared for about 15 minutes. Then we had to wait while a table was cleared for us. The waitress was pleasant enough, but she appeared to be the only waitstaff working that night. It took another 10 minutes for her to come get our drink orders, and 10 more minutes after we got our drinks for her to get our food orders. She didn't come to check on us at all after our entrees arrived. We sat around at least 15 minutes after we finished eating before she came to see if we wanted dessert and coffee. When we finished dessert, our waitress was nowhere to be found. By the time we got our check, we had been at the restaurant for over two and a half hours and were the only occupied table (outside of the bar). I did my time waiting tables, but that is unacceptable. I think it just comes down to being under-staffed, which shouldn't happen when a restaurant charges what it does for its entrees. We saw several bussers/runners - it would have been more wise to have more waiters to assist the diners. We had a gift certificate from restaurant.com so we knew we had to hit a certain dollar amount on our meal - which we did, and then some. I do understand that restaurants need to make money when they have those offers, but we were really disappointed in this place. The entrees and appetizers are priced on par with other restaurants. The alcohol prices were, to put it mildly, absurd. And for the service we received, the 20% mandatory gratuity was significantly more than what was deserved. I purchased other certificates to this restaurant and highly doubt I will ever use them, especially with so many better Irish pub options in the area. It's sad to see a place that I would have given 5 stars just a couple of years ago drop in quality so much. I am now embarrassed to recommend this place to any of my friends. read more

I'm sorry, but not very impressed. It's fine to grab a sandwich and a beer if you have some time to waste instead of driving around trying to find a place to eat. But that's as far as I'll go with the positives (OK, the food was good too). We were staying at the Marriott for a wedding so this was basically the hangout for the entire weekend. We came for some food after we checked in and right away the bartenders were complaining about their job and having to go to some meeting that they didn't think was necessary. Anyway, we got the Three Little Piggies - pork sliders, and they tasted pretty good. We came back later in the evening and ordered drinks and food again. They were very accommodating by letting us move tables and chairs around to fit our groups. The big thing was that when you wanted a waiter or bartender, there wasn't one to find. We went to close our tab and there wasn't a bartender in sight. My husband asked the guy behind the bar which seemed like a busboy or bar back and didn't speak english. He tried to explain we just wanted to close the tab and it was not happening. It was a good 10 minutes before someone arrived so we could grab our card and leave. Overall, the food was pretty good, beer selection was good (decent craft beer choices) but the service and knowledge of the staff was not great. read more

Went here for drinks before a meeting and I am having my wedding at this hotel and using this bar as the after party. Great irish bar with a beer selection with lots of variety. The bar isnt very big and I could see this place getting crowded quickly. Other than that its a good spot. read more

Better than a three rating really. Took a client for lunch. Both of us got salads, one with salmon one with steak. Lettuce was fresh green and had flavor. Fish and steak was cooked well. Bread served with meal was fresh and flavorful. Waiter was a bit slow and prices are well, hotel prices. Overall though it is a good place for a business lunch. read more

I like it! Located in the lobby area of the Marriott. Service and food were very good. It was busy on a Monday night, lots of locals seem to enjoy the food as well. I would recommend. read more

Bravo!!! Great new menu. The brisket is to die for. Brilliance in Parsippany. Came with my girlfriend.... Who wouldn't believe me that the restaurant... Inside a Marriott was the best in town. I love proving her wrong : ). P.S. Peach Cobbler Ice Cream, get it. Now!!! read more

We were staying here for a business meeting and ate here multiple times. The staff was incredible and the food was delicious! I'm a vegetarian and there were great selections! They have a great selection of wine, nightly menu changes, and a staff that truly cares about your dining experience. If you are staying here I would for sure to stop in for a bite or simply a glass of wine! read more

I have been staying at the Marriott where this restaurant is located over the past few weeks for work, and two weeks ago I stopped in for dinner on a Sunday night after traveling down to NJ from CT. After waiting for someone to assist me and the couple that had arrived before me, a group of exiting patrons informed us that we could seat ourselves. To me, a sign of some sort would have been nice. Apparently they do not always have a host(ess) manning the front door, so be forewarned. As I was flying solo that night, I decided to post up at the bar. There were a few seats open, but there were still plates on the counter. I picked the least messy locale and subsequently waited approximately 5 minutes for the bartender to clean up the food that was obviously not mine. Already off to a bad start. After the clean up, I waited for the bartender to give me a menu. Then I waited some more. Finally, I got his attention and asked for the menu. As he provided the menu he asked for my drink order. Finally some progress. I looked over the menu and the corned beef spoke to me. Trying to stay somewhat on track with the diet, I went with the salad for my side. It is important to remember that this is an "Irish" bar, so the expectation was that the corned beef would probably be decent. After waiting for over 20 minutes, with the two drunk guys next to me successfully ordering two rounds of appetizers to my one "entree", I was starting to wonder what was going on. Not to worry, a few minutes later my food was presented to me by a coughing waiter and I was so pumped to dig in. I hope you feel my sarcasm. So the food...in a word: blah. In a few words...sub par at best. The corned beef on rye was poor and the "salad" was a bunch of leaves with a bucket of dressing on the side. Best to come to this place if you are staying at the hotel and you want to get a drink or 10. That way you will remember this place fondly and be glad you didn't have to drive home that night. A generous two stars. read more

Great atmosphere. Irish pub vintage detail. Food above average +. Friendly staff and manager went above with service. Definitely recommend to others. read more

Last minute dinner reservation for 10 on a Saturday night brought us to the Auld Shebeen in the Marriott in Parsippany. We were promptly seated in the Library room which was cozy and comfortable and our drink orders taken and drinks turned around quickly. As for our meal order we did have to track down the server to have her take our order. (no rush because fixed gratuity for a party of 8 or more?). Meals came out in a timely manner, however, one had to be sent back because it was the wrong order. Again it took us tracking down the server to get the corrected meal. Needless to say the service was the weak point of an otherwise good meal. The menu is your basic Irish Pub fare and the folks in our group had the fish and chips, reuben, corned beef sandwiches, shepards pie and turkey club. Feedback was positive from all though the shepards pie folks did state it was a bit salty. Overall everyone was satisfied. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the Guinness and the meal and would return again. Next time will be with a smaller group to test my service theory. read more

Large group of us 2 nights in a row (this is a hotel restaurant). Waiter first night and Manager were very friendly. Second night was not so good. Waitress seemed in the weeds and very put-out having to wait on us. I returned my seared tuna as it was significantly over cooked. Within a minute of taking my plate, the waitress put another plate of overcooked tuna down in front of me (clearly taken from the heat lamp as well). When I noted the grey appearance, I received a blank stare as if to say 'nothing I can do about it'. Went home hungry. read more

Really busy on a Wednesday night. I stayed at the Marriott so I could get the fried pickles that were on the online menu. Bar was packed. After I sat at the wall bar for 15 minutes and no one waited on me, a seat opened up at the bar. Bartender said no fried pickles and the menu changed so they don't sell them anymore. So I looked at the menus read reviews and ordered the Celtic Wings. Bartender gave a thumbs up. The wings came quick but they were broken bones pieces and really dried out. Pretty awful. So the bartender brought some wing sauce which made them less dry but still awful. Not meaty and not great. Next time I am in area I'll stay across the street at the hilton where I usually stay and eat at Ruth's Chris. But... For a Celtic bar status quo. read more

Awesome wings and beers on tap. Great spot after work or to relax. Great atmosphere

Great food and great service!!! Wings were crispy and done perfectly. Had the short ribs, best I have ever had. Wife had the Pot Pie and absolutely loved it. I've had the shepherds pie on a previous visit and would highly recommend it. This place is my new "go to"! read more

My experience with suburban hotel restaurants has been somewhat disappointing in the past: high prices for mediocre cuisine. I dined at The Auld Shebeen at the Hanover Marriott Hotel and was quite delighted. I expected passable food that one would find in any pub style restaurant but what arrived at the table was pleasingly more. There was the sirloin dip sandwich with meltingly tender slices of marinated beef with sharp Irish cheddar cheese to be bathed in a flavorful beef au jus. A simple dish so often ruined by inferior ingredients in other pubs was flavorful and savory. I chose the steak fries as accompaniment and they were crisp outside and creamy inside. A companion had the cheddar potato soup and raved at it's comforting richness on a damp, rainy afternoon. The mussels in broth were small, tender, and sweet. It all was preceded by a basket of scones, Irish soda bread, and rolls whose unsavored remains came home with us. Possibly the best pub food I've had. read more

I get here every Sunday, late afternoon. The staff is very attentive and friendly, food is good and the atmosphere very relaxing. I love when I see the bartender getting my next beer just before I'm done with one in front of me. Sometimes the TV's are a little loud but that's easily fixed by request. Overall, a great place to hang with friends for a few. read more

Very good drinks and food. Would recommend. The chicken pot pie was excellent. My wife loved the Cod.

This place has a cool Irish feel as the space has been constructed from materials brought in from the emerald isle. Happy hour is very busy, and dinner service is hectic and slow at best. Chicken panini is decent, as is the French onion soup. For lunch, which was much leas busy, I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. It was very good, if not pricey at $14. As a matter of fact, sandwich prices start with the turkey club, $10, and the prices go up from there. So, to recap, great Irish pub ambiance, decent bar food, slow service and high prices capture the essence of auld Shabeen. read more

The pan roasted salmon was very good and there was a good beer selection, however the wait staff at the bar was not very attentive and seemed to careless about service unless you were a regular of their's. read more

Had the chicken pot pie, very good! Others enjoyed their meals also. Will be back soon!

Don't advertise yourself as an Irish Pub if you don't want people to enjoy themselves and make a little noise. Not even 8pm and we were told we were being too loud and disturbing other tables. Guess what, there are far too many options to waste time coming back here for drinks after work! read more

I want to give 4 stars based on past experiences. Especially St Patrick's day memories. However tonight was a bit of a disappointment. I ordered a cheddar burger with steak fries. The brioche bun was stale and the steak fries were seasoned. Obviously I was not happy with a bun that was crumbling away as I was eating and I don't care for seasoned fries. I must say our waiter was excellent and I didn't make him aware of my issues. I was just too hungry and not in the mood to send things back. read more

I gave it 5 stars because I have nothing bad to say. We have been there 3xs. Servers were great, always attentive. Tonight we had Angela awesome!!! My hubby n I got the ribeye cheese steak sandwich with au jus on the side our favorite. Delish. And mother in law got corned beef bam a winner. Great place and love the food read more

great atospher and i really enjoy the live music...if im up this way again i would definitely stop by again.

I stayed at the hotel numerous nights and the food never ceased to disappoint. The wait staff is great and very attentive, however the food - and I tried just about everything - is no good. read more

Great looking place. Drinks were cold. Service was ok. But the food is horrible. Unless you are happy with precooked and reheated selections. A little bit of freshness would go a long way. It's only pub food. No special chef skills needed. I would visit a lot more if the food was edible. read more
