Once, I broke a bottle on the bar and used the jagged edge part to threaten the people singing on karaoke night to stop. The staff almost threw me out and called the cops but I kicked the broken shards of glass in their eyes and ran.
Okay, that didn't happen at all. I did come here on karaoke night though. I did want the singing to stop. Especially when the two drunk girls decided it was a good idea to slur-sing-shout duet.
Anyway, solid Irish pub. I enjoyed it. Except for the karaoke singing. I'll have to come on a different night.
Came here to drink the night before Thanksgiving. I got pretty drunk for a decent price. My bartender was awesome and quick. Pretty sure she was legitimately Irish too, would've been hard to keep up the accent all night.
She was actually very quick considering how packed the place was. I never waited long and her pours were generous. She didn't mind making custom drink orders either. (Irish Car Bombs, Trash Cans, and black and blues all night.) I spent less than $50 and was feeling pretty good, so I was pretty satisfied.
The bar itself is a typical Irish pub. Dimly lit, clean, with wooden decor and items that suggest that the place is Irish. There were a good number of TVs and the music was alright.
Poitin Still (pronounced "Pocheen," which my Irish friend tells me is Gaelic for moonshine) is one of my favorite local bars!! They have great food! I love the turkey burger and buffalo wings. Nice selection of beers on tap, Smoking Loon wine and reasonable prices.
And the bartenders have Irish brogues!
A place to encounter strange scenarios and people lol…..but not so much for anything else. I've been here a handful of times…and honestly I would have given a better review if the prices of the drinks didn't go up drastically. I ordered two drinks one was a sex on the beach and a vodka and pineapple juice which were $10 each and the vodka used was cheap…. I could taste the quality and it wasn't the good stuff. That's super expensive for a simple drink. Hand crafted best selection cocktails cost that much, a well drink shouldn't. You are a pub not a high end lounge. But the past times I had went these simple drinks were only $7…that's a big jump. This turned me off a bit. I guess if I ever go there again I'd stick with beer. I will not pay $10 for a vodka and juice.
I have always liked this place. It's this weird mix of irish pub and night club.
I like that I can go here on a Friday or Saturday night, drink a Guinness, and dance to some music without having to deal with any type of "club scene". I was over the line out the door, bouncer eyeing you up, $25 cover thing when I turned 22 so, I like that this bypasses all of that.
It's nothing fancy – but it's always a good time.
This is a regular spot for co-workers and I. We always sit at the bar. The bartenders are friendly and treat us well. They pour Guinness correctly. The food is not bad and is what I expect bar food to be. I usually order from the mini green menu at the bar and not from the larger menu, since I like their buffalo chicken wrap a lot. They also have good late night specials at the bar.
The crowd can be annoying at times, but that is not the fault of the restaurant. The staff handles these situations very well.
Trying to avoid mainstream bars like Millers Ale House and Boom Burger?.. COME HERE!!!! its ALWAYS a great time.
The food here is great. its a little pricey with burgers being the cheapest thing at around $10. most platters were $18 and up… The drinks are reasonably priced at least. The bar tenders are all fast and know how to hustle. You'll never be waiting to long for a drink even on busy nights.
If you are going to come here i recommend stopping in on a Friday or Saturday night. They usually have a DJ spinning some classic songs and its always a fun time. There is a dance floor which sort of gets used depending on how drunk everyone is.
Its 21+ to get in at night. theres usually plenty of good looking women every time i have been there, which is nice. Deff worth checking out if your looking for a new bar to hit with some friends.
I have been a customer of the Poitin Still since the beginning, when Waterloo Sue's was converted. It is certainly an improvement over what it once was.
The Poitin Still is a clean, attractive Irish pub with plenty of room for large groups if necessary. It is always busy on Friday and Saturday night and somehow manages to stay busy even with new, stiff competition from Miller's Ale house (both fall into the large, clean, bar/restaurant category).
They have several TV screens, so it is definitely a sports friendly bar although I find the music to be loud beyond necessity. Loud music at levels which require you to yell in order to be heard should be reserved for clubs. I don't mind loud music, but here it is excessive at times.
A very friendly staff and good Irish food if you are hungry earns a solid three star review from me. Try it out!
