The Whelan

Not a dive bar but poorly lit and very chill. Good food and drink selection and pool and darts and such. Outdoor patio for when the weather is nice

EMILY WAS AMAZING!!!!! There was an incident with some crazy people and she handled it with so much professionalism and maturity! Then she continued to work her butt off all night to make everything flow perfectly! We are visiting from out of town and I wish we could go here every weekend and have her as our server! Not to mention the food was awesome, they have some good cooks for sure!

I used to LOVE this place. Although I am pleased to see that they have upgraded a few things, i.e. the patio furniture, the service has gone in the dumps. Our waitress was non-existent last night and uninterested in giving us water or taking our order even though it was not crowded. We had to get up from your table 3 times to summons her for service. There were no plates or silverware as our food arrived and it was cold by the time we tracked her down. We surmised that the reason was their new policy of automatic 18% gratuity included for all parties. Why bother providing good service when you'll be tipped for it anyway? We won't be returning to this once neighborhood gem.

Awesome place and great people. Taylor took care of us as well as the rest of the crew. Have been a regular for years and keep coming back!! Great place to meet people and enjoy yourself!

This has the feel of your go-to neighborhood bar with tasty food and fun, friendly service. I love that they have the option for ample outdoor seating, although I sat inside because I also love the spacious wooden booths. All in all, I enjoyed my visit and the service was great. I look forward to frequenting this place in the future.

This is one of my favorite hidden gems! This neighborhood spot never disappoints! Come as you are but be ready for amazing food, a very inclusive late night menu, and bartenders and servers that have a no nonsense kindness about them. As a person that has worked in the service industry for years, I’m always happy with the go with the flow vibe and above average customer service, especially for a local spot that serves food late. Prices are beyond reasonable, if you can’t get your order to go through online, give them a call! Pool tables, darts, and a dog friendly patio are just a plus! The entire staff is awesome but Zack and JP never disappoint!

We had an awesome time doing trivia on Monday night and we’re definitely coming back! The food is delicious and they have a wide variety of dishes to choose from.

The karaoke host is cordial but seems like he doesn’t want to be there - multiple times that we have visited unfortunately we have found this vibe. And regulars are allowed to sing way more frequently than non-regulars - despite being tipped $30. Additionally, the bar informed us about 12:15 when we tried to place an order (with no posted kitchen hours in sight) that they were no longer serving food so we ordered pizza to be delivered. When we sat down with it at our booth, one of the bartenders (who couldn’t be bothered to serve us quickly when we tried to get drinks an hour before, but went out of her way, elbowing customers out of the way to get to my friend) informed us we could NOT have outside food inside the bar. We took it to the patio but… How does that make sense? I understand if you’re still serving food you don’t want the competition and we would have love to give them our business because we were starving. But if you want people to black out and become a liability because they haven’t eaten for hours, that’s a good practice to uphold. Would recommend letting patrons stay inside where they might continue to order drinks while eating food that they can no longer purchase from your bar. Our friends love this place so we will be back but hope Whelan can find some consistency and sensibility in their food service and outside food policies.
