Overall a very enjoyable lunch for 7 of us ladies. First time here. But such a bad start and I was…read morea bit skeptical at first. Our table was pre-set with silverware wrapped in cloth napkins, water glasses filled and appetizer plates. My appetizer plate looked like it went through the dishwasher but had lots of crusty food stuck on it. It was gross. I cannot believe that plate made it to the table for a patron to see. The person setting the table had to be blind. Also, my water had a partical or small bug. I was concerned about the cleanliness of the place. I didn't want to ruin it for the others so I let it go. And that was it for the bad stuff. All 7 of us enjoyed our lunch. My shrimp BLT wrap was delicious. Fries were good and plentiful. Cob salad was huge and the other sandwiches were fresh and good as well. Service was timly and efficent. The place is huge with a few different rooms for dining. I would come back if in the area again.

This place is huge with plenty of outdoor seating (with gliders) multiple dining rooms each with their own bar and a rooftop deck. Starting off strong. The brisket fries were tasty, cheesy and kept their shape even under the brisket. Things went downhill from tThe roast beef has good flavor but was not served as hot as we would have liked. Our waitress did not come back around until after we had eaten so the opportunity to try and get it remedied did not present itself. My burger was good enough but not juicy or flavorful. Just a basic bar burger. Sandwiches come with house made chips which usually are my favorite, sadly these chips were rubbery, stale, and dull. If you're not going to include fries with your sandwiches make sure your chips are edible. The rooftop offers a different limited menu that offers a few of the same items the dining rooms have with some different "lighter" additions. We will try and come back when it's cooler to check it out. Three stars for this trip with room for improvement: Food = just okay Atmosphere = comfy and relaxed Service = definitely could have been better

So I thought to myself, how best to introduce you to a tried and true staple of an area in what is…read morenow called "The Orange Loop"? Well, the "Irish Pub" you know from the Monopoly game is actually this real property, "The Irish Pub and Inn", here on St. James Place in Atlantic City. Also, the game's iconic red hotel design inspired the game's red hotels, making it a real-life landmark for Monopoly fans. During most of the year, this legendary, 24/7 pub is famous for its unique, memorabilia-filled atmosphere and historical ties to AC, the Monopoly game, prohibition, etc., attracting visitors who enjoy its authentic, home-style vibe. But during Christmas, its decorations are on a whole other level of amazingness. Photos will not permit you to understand just how fantastic the volume and scope of lights, ornaments and figurines abound all around the restaurant and bar areas. The owner starts decorating weeks before Christmas adding new items each day through Christmas. You can't miss catching the Christmas spirit here, while taking in some spirits! It is a cash only venue. Make sure to come prepared. But if not? They do have an ATM onsite to help pay for the classic fish and chips or / AND the St James Potatoes. Those fries are like a poutine for those who know. The service is no frills but provided with pride and a smile, always. You can never go wrong here for a quick, basic, and satisfying meal and drink at reasonable prices in good company.

A great place for a few pints or an all night session. Cheers.

The two "Hostesses" gave a new meaning which is just the opposite. I'm in town in business and just happened upon this place. There are apparently two entrances to the building so myself and a coworker came in the back. I made eye contact with the Hostesses and neither made an effort to say Hi, ask a question, bring a Menu, NOTHING except to stare at me as if I didn't belong there. Finally the Bartender greeted us with Menu's and a kind word. I just got in town last night so today I planned on having my first Cheese Steak.The "Pounder Cheese Steak did not disappoint. It was rich with the Cheese they used and the grilled onions gave it just enough texture with the Bread. Exceptional! Onion Rings were good and tasted freshly cut. The Sauce served with the onion Rings made a great dipping sauce for the occasional bite of the Cheese Steak. Not sure I'll be back, at least not in this trip.

I've never been disappointed with my food here, and you like pub fare you're sure to find something on the menu that will hit the spot.

Worth checking out.

I've been to McCloskeys a few times recently, and while I've heard great things about them...I've…read moreyet to experience it. I ordered the roast beef sandwich with fries...my friend ordered muscles and the ham sandwich special. The muscles arrived cold. Not warm, not tepid...just cold. They were sent back for a trip in the microwave which is a place that shellfish should never journey too...if you want them to remain tender. When I ordered, I asked about a few items and was assured that "people love the roast beef". Now I've had "French Dip" style roast beef before at other restaurants, and when done right...it's a memorable experience. Crusty toasted torpedo style roll brimming with thinly sliced hot beef...provolone cheese melted over the top and down the sides...served with a side of au jus dipping sauce, that you would want to slurp down a soup bowl full. But this...was not that! The sandwich arrived on a hamburger style bun...the meat was piled "adequately" in the center but sloped off considerably as it headed for the edge of the bun. There was no need to worry about meat falling out as I took a bite...as none of it protruded past the buns edge. The cheese was there...a single uninspired round slice covered the cold and somewhat soggy bottom of the bun... and wasn't melted...at all! I suspect that the kitchen assumed that the meat would melt the cheese...but the meat would have to be hot for that to happen. In this sandwich...the closer you got to the middle of the "meat mound"...the colder it got. And little did I know when asked if I wanted provolone on the sandwich...that it would be an additional charge. Now for my fries. They weren't hot...they weren't even warm...they were "ice cold"! I sent them back light heartedly joking that there must be a door open in the kitchen (it was a cold evening) and the server returned shortly with hot fresh ones...minus the pickles that were on my plate. This goes to show that fries can reach the table...hot. The hot ham and cheese sandwich "special", served on a pretzel bun, wasn't hot...and wasn't special. I saw no melted cheese...only thin dry slices of ham, stiff as roofing shingles, protruded from the roll. There was no mustard...no sauce...no "something special" to make the "special", special... just stiff little sad ham planks...wondering where they went wrong On both recent visits...the service has been "spotty". (I know that cell service in the pub isn't spotty, because on my first visit...both servers had their heads buried in their phones). It doesn't seem like there's a real system in place for insuring that the customers receive "attentive" service. To their credit...they did remove the muscles from the check without us asking...but I never got a feeling that the next party to walk through the door...would have a better experience. When you find a good local pub with great food...it's like going to eat at grandmas house. You know that you'll always leave feeling warm, wanted, and fed really well. And you'll be excited by the thought of a return visit. I'm still looking.
