    Buffalo Chicken Wings
    Molly W.

    Our waitress was great! Was Sat outside and she came and helped right away. Our food came quickly too. You have to order the Brie and fig appetizer! And the buffalo wings were great.

    This is the kids chicken nuggets. I sadly didn't get a picture of my meal.

    The food was very good at witchside tavern. My food came pretty fast and the service was excellent. I would come back here for sure. Not only I enjoyed the food, my family loved their food too. It had cute painting of witches on the walls, which is perfect because were in Salem,aka witch city. It had a mystical feel. They were playing music and had a great Playlist. They just need to clean their bathrooms better. Overall I had a great time.

    Great food. Great service . Great ambiance. Classy not tacky. The poison apple drink was on point. Definitely worth checking out if you are ever in Salem

    The food was good, BUT... We had a large group of folks that had preordered their food from a pared down menu. When we arrived, they didn't do a great job of getting each person what they'd ordered. Some of us never got our dessert, even though it had been paid for. Employees on site were unable to make satisfactory adjustments (like how about you comp my cocktail because I didn't get my dessert?). Even though the food was good, the overall experience was definitely lacking.

    Everyone was so kind here. Our waitress checked in on us many times to make sure we liked our food. Ambiance was relaxed. I mean even with the line outside, I feel like people were in and out pretty quick. We didn't feel rushed! Fish and chips 6/10: The fish itself was decent. I almost thought the outside coating was pale although crispy. Chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream 7/10: Nothing bad to say. It was a great pairing. Chocolate mousse cake 11/10: I'm just saying but... me and my friends were still talking about this cake DAYS after coming here. This is your sign to order this !!

    Door was great, service as fast. Had a fab waiter named Treston. Went July 3. Did not have to wait to be seated.

    Went here for breakfast it was yummy and our server was very nice. I love the decor on the walls as well. When I travel here again I will come here to visit

    Fried Haddock Sandwich
    Sakurako K.

    It's ok. The ambience is if a sports pub decided to have more witchy themes and every TV played something other than sports. The good? Service was quick, friendly and our waters never went without being filled quickly and our finished plates were cleared in an extremely timely manner. The food is none offensive, very American (flatbreads, sandwiches, burgers, you get the gist), and everything came out completely edible but nothing to write home about. Good place to grab a quick bite to eat and fill yourself for a long day of walking around the charming city of Salem!

    Nachos
    Bethly C.

    We came to Salem to explore and after a few tours, decided to stop here for drinks and appetizers. Since it's Halloween season, there was a line when we arrived, but the wait for our group of four was only about 20 minutes. The place had a lively vibe with old-school R&B playing and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We tried the margarita flight, which was too sweet for my taste, but would be great for anyone who likes sweeter cocktails. I also had the mystery shot, which surprisingly tasted pretty good. Service was a little slow getting our order in, but given the Halloween crowds, it was understandable. For food, we ordered the nachos and flatbread both were solid choices. I also got the Witch's Brew cocktail, which was supposed to come with a souvenir cup, but unfortunately, they were out by the time I ordered.

    There was a line to get in. Staff just told me to stand in line. There was no name to put down or reservations. Just stand and hope you're it out there too long. I have seen people move along. I finally went in about 20mins later. Waitress was friendly and easy to speak with. They had a nice margarita flight option and a mystery shot for $5. Loaded nachos and egg rolls (Philly cheesesteak and buffalo chicken combo). It was crispy and flavorful. It was cooler inside than outside because of the air conditioner on blast. But overall it was a nice place and decor suits the area

    Grilled Steak Tips

    Brought my mother in law to Salem today for her birthday with my family. This place was so nice inside and offers outdoor seating. The staff was super friendly! The food!! So so so good! Came out with pretty decent timing and was delicious!! I'm a food enthusiast and their food was exceptional. Flavorful and presented beautifully.

    Notice the 20% automatic gratuity.
    Tamika C.

    The food was delicious...but to add 20% gratuity for a party of 2 is ridiculous. What made it so much worse though is the server didn't point it out to us. I have been a server for years. It is unethical and greedy to not let the customers know there is already a tip added. This is a way some people will be duped into tipping double. The server was not interactive or friendly, she just did the bare bones basics of serving.

    Chicken Napolitano sandwich
    Lianne M.

    Neat vibe here, with the witchy theme and murals, and the food was really good too! All the servers were friendly and attentive. I appreciated having stuff on the TVs other than standard sports (the one I could see was tuned to Magellan TV). My husband had a burger and I had the Chicken Napolitano sandwich. It was delicious and huge-- I was full after eating only half! Almost everything in the area is witch-themed which I enjoyed, and it was good finding a place that had great service and food, too!

We just went in and dropped a worthy $80 on lunch - 2 tequila mules, a special of buffalo bites (if u are lucky and these are on special again - order them!). Chicken kabob sandwich - juicy, perfectly grilled chicken and my husband got the mouth-watering pastrami sandwich. We packed half of it up for dinner tonight. I only gave 4 stars due to the lousy, noisy, raunchy bar flies. They couldn't care less about other customers as they were shouting and cussing away. Having a conversation with my husband was impossible. The bartender, who was 5 stars in her service to us, attempted to remind these people to stop yelling. I understand being a local, as I am one, and it makes me want to keep my favorite places in business. However, disruptive and rude bar flies should be shut out ff earlier and asked to leave or at the very least pipe down. Ultimately, I highly recommend anyone local or out of town to try The Tin Whistle for the food and service. Maybe try one of the tall comfy wooden booths would make for a better atmosphere.

The clam was minced so finely that it was hard to discern that there was any in the bowl. Very filling and tasty just the same. Staff were very attentive and friendly. We asked how much the market price for a lobster roll would be: $40. Music was in the style of hipster cocktail hour, so very enjoyable. Art work was kitschy lobster and bar- based.

They have a "rule" that you should walk outside the building to get to the restrooms, and the dude is policing this rule since he has nothing to do. Need an extra bowl to split the soup? No worries, the dude will lecture your elderly parents his unsolicited opinions on how the soup will spill everywhere, so you shouldn't do it. Funny enough, the same dude spilled the soup all over the place when he was bringing them to us. Aside from the rude dude, prices are insane. We are not even in peak season, so they are serving the locals but their prices have a 50% or so markup from industry average. ($40 for a small and $60 for a large lobster roll). They have an automatic 20% gratuity on parties of 3 or more, so they get rewarded on their bad service no matter what. I highly recommend avoiding this dump.

(They clearly saw me there; we made eye contact and the one guy wasn't even doing anything.) After about 10 to 15 minutes of waiting with no service, we were about to leave when a server finally came to our table. Since they were obviously busy and weren't keeping up with the crowd that night, we tried to order two drinks each so they could save a little of their time and we could relax without worrying about if a server was going to take our order again before the end of the week. The server very sharply said that he was NOT going to give us two drinks at a time, CERTAINLY not with drinks of this high alcohol content. We ordered one drink each, cashed out and bounced. The cocktail I got was fine; I could make a slightly worse version at home at a fraction of the price (or even two at once!). We we were told later by a friendlier Salemite at a bar with a better vibe that there is a Massachusetts state law that prohibits having two drinks at once at a bar. Fair enough. Had our server told us that, unfortunately, he wasn't allowed to give us two drinks at once -- instead of making us feel like idiots/degenerates for daring to ask -- we probably would have dropped a lot of vacation money there that night. Oh well; we had a great time at the other places we went.
