So apparently this place has new new owners and man we have found our new dinner spot. We have been multiple times and have not had a bad dinner yet! My favorites are the beer cheese and soft pretzels, the wings and this chicken sandwich that sounds crazy and a little wacky but it is AMAZING!! My BF can't stop ordering the french dip to try anything else he loves it! The staff is so friendly and on top of things even when the place is jammed. The live music and bands on Friday night is great, my only recommendation for live music nights is there is no real dance floor and they leave the lights way up. But the band choices have been great we love the country music bands as well as NoxX!! read more

Great service! Super nice waitress/bar tender Nikki. The good was great and it didn't break the bank. We will stop here again when traveling through. Great 90's-early 2000 music! read more

The Celtic Pub - Deep fried grilled cheese. Omg omg leave your diet at home for this one. - Irish Near Me - Smyrna, Delaware

I ordered through doordash. Food was nothing to write home about. Nachos were okay. Crab dip did not come with chips or bread, but that was okay because by the time it got to me it separated and was a glob of crab surrounded by orange grease in the to go cup so $14 went into the trash. The Shepard Pie came in two to go cups. The beef in one and the potatoes in another. Edible but nothing good enough to order again. Maybe it would have been better at the restaurant and this is just not a place I would order for delivery again. read more

I heard new mgmt had turned this place around, and came in with my family for Sunday brunch over the 4th. The food was great ( I had the Donahue Irish Roast Beef and tried my dad's Fish and Chips - both excellent), but it was the cocktails that wowed me! Any brunch stands or falls on it's Bloody Mary's, and the bacon and cucumber version here was out of this world. I would've had a second, but the manager turned me on to the "Philadelphia"- his unique and delicious take on the that old standard, the Manhattan. Throw in attentive staff and great music (everything from New Orleans Jazz to Irish Folk) - and this is one joint I will certainly hit next time I'm in town. read more

My fiance and i heard it was under new management so we gave it a try. he used to come here a lot for the wings. it was friday around 4:30 the place was empty, the 4 empoloyees that were there were sitting at the bar just talking and when we walked in they just stared at us until we sat down, it was awkward, the girl taking our order acted like she had no clue what was going on or how to do her job. my fiance and i both ordered wings. i ordered the garlic parmesan wings. anyway when these wingscame out they looked fine but omg when i bit into it they were disgusting!!! they were not fully cooked and the ways he cooked them was even worse. they were only deep fried and sprinkled with parmesan cheese. and it wasnt fresh parmesan cheese just the crap you get to sprinkle on your speghetti. it was disgusting i had never tasted such a terrible wing in my life with no flavor what so ever. my fiances wings barely had anyway sauce on them and obviously had no flavor. he told the waitress the wings were terrible and we did not eat them, paid for them and left. we will never go there again. read more

Wow , we need a zero here ...no stars .... the waitress tried and tried but she was overwhelmed and outmanned..typical August weekend, needed food and ended up at the celtic pub....reviews. were ok....well started with ice tea..ok not bad ....ordered 2 soups French fries and that's it...took 1.5 hours to get two soups and a plate of fries.... then the soup tasted like dish rag soup...not fwmch onion. Omg horrid. Fren h fry were cooked in what appeared to be old oil....omg again. Taste ..meh...appearance ughhh...overall uhhhh good gosh....this was a first, and a last for us... don't waste your money, time, or energy here...so.many better options in Delaware..... read more

This is the worse experience I have ever had at a restaurant. At 1:30 pm I went for lunch with my husband and a man threw up across the bar the entire way out the door to the restaurant. After 10 minutes the owner cane out to clean up the mess and the very nice, (I felt bad for her) bartender/waitress said no to the man who threw up everywhere when he asked for another beer. The owner said no he can have another. Come on he literally threw up right behind me and I could not even eat my food. Needless to say I paid my tab, the owner did nothing to compensate for not eating my meal. Now the man is drinking away and let's all hope the owner doesn't let this pos drive home. Do not eat here!!!! read more

Went here with a friend recently to branch out a little bit and go someplace besides Sheridan's for lunch. The pub fare was acceptable, but not remarkable. Service was pleasant and fairly standard, although the kilts they have the waitresses wear makes the restaurant seem like they're trying a little too hard to play up the "Irish" thing. Maybe they feel they have to make up for the decor - with TVs blaring, it kind of makes one wonder whether the restaurant is an Irish pub or a sports bar. I suppose this place is about as classy as a pub in a strip mall in lower Delaware can be, but that's really not saying much. read more

Well stopped in on my way up from a meeting at the beach. Looked over the menu and it seems like this place is more of a sports bar the "Irish Pub." I tried the potato soup, bad mistake. No taste or flavor. Then went on to the bangers and mash. Bland and canned gravy. At least the waitstaff is very pleasant and the Guinness was flowing. I will stop back for drinks, but no food. read more

Expensive beer, indifferent people, and slow crowds. Sound like your cup of tea? Well come here and drink up, cause those three are constants. As a back up plan, if you ever run out of dogfood, stop by this place and order just about anything off the menu, and it should suffice. That is, only if your dog is like mine and eats poop! read more

Is this place good or is it great! It is under new ownership and has made a turn around. The menu is unique, the bartenders are cool and the setting is comfortable. The food is excellent! read more

I have to say the waitresses were very Nice and the food was great. That being said, I came with a my large Irish family and we ended up being seated at a couple different tables so they were unable to put us all together, no big deal. Rap music blaring in an Irish Pub is not conducive to conversation nor does it have a place in this kind of atmosphere. Had to repeatedly ask to turn it down. Ordered a corned beef dinner only to find out they were out! Reuben? No! Settled on a Shepard's pie which was delicious and also had clams and wings for appetizers, all good, just don't expect the experience you were hoping for. read more

Nikki the waitress was awesome. We enjoyed our drinks. Tried the deep fried deviled eggs. They were interesting. Had nachos, burger, bangers and mash. Finished off with monster brownie sundae read more

I was visiting from out of state and a friend took me to the Celtic Pub for trivia night, karaoke, and trivia night. I truly enjoyed myself. I had the roast beef dip sandwich and onion rings. It was delicious. The atmosphere was great and the staff very friendly. The Kj that night was "Ralph" and he puts on a great show. I most definitely will return their again on my next visit. read more

This place is banging! Great food and drink selection. I love the burgers and they do really good traditional fare like Bangers & Mash. Good buzz and good music, too. read more

Heard this place was under new management and decided to give it try, glad I did. Started with a Guinness while I scanned the menu and was pleasantly surprised to learn that they had live music on a Wednesday night. Decided to try the French Dip sandwich which is sliced roast beef with provolone on a toasted hoagie roll and a side of their french onion soup to dip the sandwich in, which was fantastic, the only thing it was missing was horseradish, which was quickly provided when asked for. Also received fresh cooked potato chips with it, seasoning was nice and they were not greasy, just crisp. Also like the idea of the $6.00 Craft Beer Mystery Buckets, gotta get a couple of friends together for that! Really can't wait to go back. read more

So had the French onion soup one word bad, tasted like dishwater with cheese. But the Ruben and french fries was very good. Others in my party got the Crabcake awful salty Poor quality crabmeat A lot of filler. Chicken fingers good Fish and chips good read more

This is a laid back place with good food. Love the bangers and mash. They also have a good beer selection.

Great place to eat. Really nice atmosphere they do fun things on Fridays and Saturdays. They stay pretty crowded but the staff is really nice. Great place to be. read more

I went their for my birthday with my wife and son. I was looking forward for some traitional Irish fare. I wasn't impressed with the ambiance. Big sreen TV's showing sporing events and no irish music in the background. I asked for Beef Stew. I was told it was out of season for that item. No where on the menu it says that it is a seasonal dish. We opted for shepherd's pie. It was dry (no gravy) and the worst shepard's pie I have ever eaten. I could have done better at home with instant potatoes, canned veggies and ground bee. My son got a burger. He was not impressed. We'll never go back again. Sheridan's will get our future business. read more

Excellent staff, nice atmosphere, good food and beer selection. Great location just off of RT13. Very clean and the locals are friendly.

I'm new to the area and like to check out local places to eat. After trying many restaurants in the area, I will keep coming back to this one everytime. The atmosphere is laid back and our waitress (Nicki) was outgoing & attentive, but not intrusive. On her recommendation, my group started with the loaded nachos that were a mile high and by far the best I ever had!!! Our entrees were all delicious (chicken pot pie, burger with amazing hand cut fries, shepherds pie & a Reuben sandwich.) Would highly recommend!!! read more

Great food, large portions too ! Came here for a rare Eagles Thursday night football game, they had quizzo and kereoke during the game. So I guess it not a good sports bar read more

This was my first visit hear since the new owners took over. I was very impressed. We came in after lunch before dinner and it was slow. The service was excellent and the owners even checked in to see how everything was, this made me feel like my business mattered, I don't get this level of service even at the place I go to 3 to 4 times a week. I had the crab dip which was fresh, very flavorful and worth the price of 12 dollars. My entree was the French dip sandwich that I upgraded to include fries, the sandwich was very good and the gross were out of this world, you could tell they are fresh cut the additional cost of 2 bucks from the fresh made chips seemed a little bit much but the gross were awesome. The other member of my party for the cornbeef which looked great the portion was large and worth the price, i tried the meat and while very lean it seamed like it was missing something in flavor. I enjoyed this visit and will definitely be back. read more

Pleasantly surprised! Food was EXCELLENT! Atmosphere was family friendly on a Sunday and service was top notch! Highly recommend! I will be back!! read more

The Celtic Pub has new owners and they have made many improvements. They have tweaked the menu and upgraded the quality of food which has made a huge difference. We used to have to go somewhere else to eat before we went to the Celtic to drink. Now we look forward to having dinner there. They also have daily specials aside from the regular menu which is refreshing. Definitely try their Sunday brunch, my personal favorite. The Creme Brulee french toast is to die for and if you like Bloody Mary's try the Bacon and Cucumber Spicy bloody mary. It comes with a big slice of bacon! Delicious! Good music too. It's a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. read more

I don't often go to a restaurant and then walk out before we get our food but last evening was an exception. We went to a place called The Celtic Pub in Smyrna, De. The place was not too busy, maybe 40 people total. It was there 'bingo' night and everyone was playing to win food or drink prizes. After waiting a minute or 2 we asked and were told to seat ourselves and we did. Everyone seemed more interested in playing bingo. A lady from a table next to us asked us if we wanted to play and rapidly went to get us bingo cards. But no one came to the table to get a drink order or give us menus. I finally leaned over to the lady who got us the cards and asked if there were menus. She jumped up and got us 2 menus. About 10 min later a waitress came and took our drink order (water for me and a coke for DH) and we said we were ready to order. We ordered an appetizer of broccoli bites and when I said I wanted the fish and chips, they were out of fish. Okay, not happy but that happens. So I ordered something else. And the wait began. I won a bingo game and the wait continued-no drinks or appetizer but told the appetizer would be out shortly. Twenty minutes later someone realizes we haven't even got out drinks. Other people are getting food and appetizers. They eventually got our drinks and confirm what type of food DH wants and say the appetizer will be out very soon. More people are getting their appetizers. Five minutes later they come out and tell us they have run out of the appetizer we ordered. I got livid. At that point I said we would pay for our drinks and leave. DH said he had not even drank any of his soda, did we have to pay for it? No we didn't, so we left. It is sad when an establishment is more interested in entertainment than service. I HIGHLY suggest you AVOID, AVOID, AVOID this place. read more

I dropped in for lunch today. This was probably my sixth visit since the new management took over. The manager is friendly and the service very attentive. I had the French dip sandwich with kettle chips. It was excellent! I am so glad we rediscovered this place and the new owners have made a real difference. I definitely would recommend you eat here. Everything we have tried on the menu has been terrific. read more

Great place if you wanna go out drinking, I didn't get a chance to grab something to eat here yet but definitely will in the future. The staff here are top notch read more

The potato leek soup was awesome, however, the shepherds pie seemed as if it was made with instant potatoes. It was not flavorful even after mixing the stew with the potatoes. The soda was also flat. Wait staff was friendly. read more

I have to say I am very disappointed on how the pub has gone down hill. We were in there Friday night meeting friends and the music was so loud we could not even talk. We also waited over a hour for a cheeseburger and when it arrived it was completely raw. They did take it back and make a new one, but we waited again a half hour. They were definitely under staffed and busy. The owners were sitting a table right by us drinking instead of helping out. Needless to say I will not be going back. read more

well I do go here from time to time But because of karaeoke ,and even though I been there a lot I always wait so long for someone to ask me what I want, I go up to the bar to order my drinks they say they well bring it to me I still wait, average wait is over fifteen minutes, they do not care unless you are friends and all the good reviews do come from them that's why they talk bad of smyrna diner and sportszone , I don't care for them places either but you do get good service from them,.. read more

we stop in at least once a week. its a very comfortable place, with a friendly staff . the burgers are one the best around, and they have a awesome bbq pulled pork. we always have a great time there, whether its kareoke night or just relaxin after work. and you cant go wrong with the $5 guinness special. read more
