Nice choice to grab a bite or a pint on North Main Street which places you just North of the New Hope-Lambertville Bridge. I always find this block to be a quick getaway from the more traveled blocks South.
The bar area is small, but cute and homely. A couple of large TV's mounted on the back wall of the bar will keep you company if that's your thing
The table seating just beyond gives you a mix of high tables, lower and window seating. There is a small back bar I would assume for overflow. My family and I were seated at a corner table that gave us a view of the street and most of the restaurant area.
Our server was prompt, great with kids and friendly. The menu had typical kids choices - ours went with a hamburger and grilled cheese. Both came with what appeared to be hand cut fries (ask for them well done, theirs were soggy) The regular menu had some tempting choices - bone-in or boneless wings with a Jameson sticky sauce, pretzel sticks, fritters, Fish & Chips (Smithwick's beer battered fresh Alaskan cod) and a pretzel bun burger to name a few.
Drink wise - They had ten Irish Beer mixes. I had a Black & Tan - Guinness & Smithwick's (gives you the soft creaminess of Guinness, but less body) and my wife ordered an Espresso Martini that tasted just as good as it smelled. (The iced Irish coffee and the Dubliner Irish Coffee on paper look like fantastic Adult beverage choices and were noted for a future visit.)
My wife ordered a Shepherds' Pie - $19 - Fresh ground USDA choice prime beef, blended with fresh herbs, spring peas, onions & carrots, topped with creamy mashed potatoes. She reported it to be heavy, but delicious!
I ordered the Bangers & Mash - $19 - Traditional Irish Pork, breakfast sausage served over creamy mashed potatoes with a side of brown gravy. The mashed potatoes were pretty boring, breakfast sausage were good portions, but thank God for the brown gravy which was very good.
The dessert menu sounded delicious - Bread Pudding, homemade Carrot Cake, Crème Brulee and Pot du Crème, but we were stuffed.
We enjoyed our visit here. I think the menu's have a great mix of drinks and food, the staff was nice and the place was clean.
