Top Bars in Utica, United States

This is a great place. A friend who has, sadly, passed away always discussed us meeting in Utica, some day to have a Guinness together. Ed Dillon, I drank to you today while enjoying a Guinness and a great Shepherds Pie.

Me & 1 of my homegirls went here for a quick drink first time also for both & I will say that they charged us 43 bucks for 2 drinks & 2 shots. The place it self is nice on the insides but the drinks wasn't worth the price.

Good food but for some reason there credit card machine decided to charge me $40 extra and wouldn’t refund my card. Gave me the option of a gift card or come in to get the cash. We are in business and it’s very easy to refund anyone’s card not sure why the person on the phone was making a big deal about it saying it couldn’t be done. Food was good but thought that was a hassle.

Beautiful venue for private parties . Huge outdoor with seating and bar . They added a stage outside for bands . Inside had two separate floors . Very spacious.

Waiter: Keri was excellent and attentive, and she saved our dinner experience.

Atmosphere: cozy and classic. The dining room is deceptively big and had additionally outdoor seating. The wood accent on the ceiling looked gorgeous. I found it ironic that, given the history of England and Ireland, I was sitting next to an old book titled "History of the English People". It stuck out enough to me personally that I did a double-take.

The food, however, left a lot to be desired. We both ordered meatloaf and New England clam chowder. The New England was good, because quality clams were used. The clams in the chowder was nice and chewy. It was a touch too salty. If they dialed back on the salt just a wee bit, the soup would've been A+. The meatloaf had so much potential, but it was undercooked in the middle. To be absolutely clear: both meatloaves were undercooked in the middle.

I took a few bites, starting on the edge and working my way in. The edge of my meatloaf, I noticed was kind of burnt, but I didn't want to make a fuss. Then I noticed that the meat wasn't firm like other meatloaves that I had eaten before. The meat started look a bit too pink for my comfort. I think it was after my third, albeit hesitant, bite that I inspected the center and noticed the redness of the red meat staring back at me. When I asked my sister if the meatloaf looked raw to her, she confirmed my suspicion. We showed Keri who responded with grace and remedied the situation.

We were sketched out by the menu at this point, but we ended getting a chicken Caesar salad and hot wings. The wings were hot-hot; it was good. The salad was....a salad; the chicken was actually cooked, thank goodness.

The kitchen needs to do better.

Amazing atmosphere however the food was really just ok🙁. The shepherds pie was extremely gamy, very “strong”. The Guinness was perfect! I’ll definitely be going back for the bar!

BEAUTIFUL bar, great vibes, 2 floors (the upstairs is crazy!) an outdoor bar & upstairs deck for summer nights! Very clean & vibrant. Plus 1pm-7pm happy hour prices 😈

This is a brand new Irish bar/restaurant. The service is amazing and very attentive. The food is top notch and authentic Irish food. The atmosphere is great along with good prices. We ended up meeting the bar manager who was absolutely one of the nicest people you will meet in this industry. There is an outside patio with a fire pit along with favorite rooms for rentals. There is also plenty of parking.

Beautiful done building with superior decor looking like a Hollywood version of a Irish pub but a little prepackaged and stodgy. Nice patio area and even has space for events. Traditional Irish menu. Limited beers on tap like Harp, Guinness and the usual suspects. A more relaxed vibe at the nearby Nail Creek.

Delicious. Excellent service. Linen napkins. 🙂 Incredible interior architecture. Bar brought in to West Utica, NY. from Ireland.
Bangers and Mash. Irish Guinness meatballs. Next time, I'll try their Irish beef stew.
Open Thursday - Sunday
Parking on Columbia Street entrance.
Tonight, two piece band quietly doing a great job.

Absolutely fantastic place! I've been to Ireland and this place is as authentic as any Irish Pub you may find...

Bangers and mash, Guinness stew, Fish and Chips... Plus a good pint of draft to wash it all down!

Great atmosphere, good drinks, well poured stout and cocktails.

I think the downstairs area is too bright for a party atmosphere. Upstairs is definitely a better atmosphere but it also depends on what music is playing on any given night.

Ordered a double whiskey and Coke. They gave me a small plastic cup that would of qualified as a single and still charged full price. Not happy... I have went before and I really like the bar. Must be because it was Saturday night.

Used to be a cool place when it opened, but the bouncers are out of control. I left a drink on the table playing pool, I was told once and took it off, only to have to same bounce aggressively freak out, knock my drink over and proceed to put his hands on me and graple myself and my friends to throw us outside. I was a paying patron and this guy thought it was amateur wrestling. So dissapoonted in the place and will not be going back to this “establishment”.

Love going here for the space, the patio, and the music. Prices would be my only complaint, but they're not too bad. They have an awesome smokers section outside either on an upper patio deck, or the ground, fenced in. 2 "dance" floors gives you 2 music choices, the upper one is usually new age country. Bathrooms are usually clean and despite the size, the lines aren't too bad. I wish their was a way to give half ratings because it's definitely a 4.5 in my book.

It's a nice place. Parking is on the street and there's no cover. The last few times I've been here it's been quiet, which is a shame.

Drafts are six dollars, but their selection on hard liquor is a bit limited. There's plenty of screens for the sports fan. Above the first floor is a country themed bar. Cheers!
