“Order the Blarney burger or shepherds pie.”

An aptly named bar.
The bar sits about a stone's throw away from the train station. Great if you like watching trains roll by . I happened to know a few train enthusiast that would love the location.
Otherwise, its a pretty normal bar. Drink service is good and fast.
Stopped in for a couple rounds of beer. Happy hour is $1 off drafts and drinks. Not the best happy hour specials considering the area but they do have some outdoor seating.
I LOVE Irish bars… especially when you find a good one with excellent food. Only disclaimer is that we've gone only once (so far), and had the Blarney Salad (shared it), and TWO orders of fish & chips. I was on a mission to find good fish & chips, so we took the half-hour drive for this, and I wasn't disappointed. Whoever is working the fryer at this place really knows what they are doing . The fish was fresh, perfect "beer-batter" style breading (four pieces, nice portion), and perfectly cooked. One could argue that it was slightly greasy, but we devoured it and thought it was truly excellent. And the fries (integral to a good fish & chips order), were normal fries (not thick-cut steak fries), but they too were excellent, b/c the chef knew to leave them in for that extra 30 seconds, so they were super crispy without being over cooked. Really nice. Good drinks and a cool selection of beers on draft. And the staff was nice too. We ate at the bar, and saw some March Madness b-ball on the screen. Highly recommended.
The place is cozy, with good atmosphere. Nice selection of beers. There is a bar area and a few tables – gets a bit too loud if sitting at a table I think and unless you're yelling, not an idea place to hold a conversation. The bar area is a bit more conducive to a private conversation believe it or not – an opportunity to sit closer I guess. The food was ok – we ordered off the special menu, prime rib and beef short ribs. The prime rib was good, could be a tad bit more tender but overall nice flavor. The short ribs were too tough and soooo salty, wasn't really a fan. I also ordered a french onion soup – I can't say I didn't enjoy it (even with it being too salty as well) but it definitly did not taste like a "regular" french onion soup. Overall, I'd say it's a cool bar and is worth a shot.
Best Buffalo Chicken Wrap I have ever had! Staff was very friendly. Only been here once and I would definitely go again to unwind after a rough day. OH! and I tasted their fish and chips too…very delish.
