About this restaurant

Good for groups
Good for special occasions
Innovative

Claddagh Irish Pub brings the best of Ireland to American guests, serving modern twists on the finest traditional cuisine paired with perfect pints of beer in an authentic and friendly setting.

The Claddagh represents a community in which friends and neighbors come together to enjoy food and drink and socialize, which is in the tradition of the pubs or “public houses” in Ireland that serve as town gathering places.

The hallmark of the restaurants’ public house environment is the “craic” (pronounced “crack”)—meaning a fun, friendly, and exuberant atmosphere.

We used to have trouble here but their service was impeccable and the menu changes were great. So glad we can start coming back here. They must be under new management. We had wonderful service for a party of 14.

Did not enjoy our dinner at Claddagh's this time. The service was very slow. The waitress was not very attentive. The food was not very good. The fried fish was so greasy and left a bad taste in your mouth.

I wanted to try this place for quite sometime but I left dissapointed. Perhaps I was misinformed but I really expected more of an ethnic experience such as what you receive at the Hoffbraugh House directly across the street. Wasnt expecting to listen to a top 40 / hip hop mix on the sound system and seeing nachos on the menu. However the real experience killer was the lack of service and the unreasonable wait times between ordering and actually receiving food and drinks., mind you it was 5:30 and the place was not busy at all. The table across from ours actually had to go to the bar and get their own drinks since a server hadnt attended to them. My wife and I only managed 1 drink each our entire time there. I actually had to get up and track down a hostess in order to request a server. Seems like someone isn't minding the store! Won't be going back anytime soon.

We got turned away. It was Friday before St. Patrick’s Day and they said they had requested your website to stop taking table reservations but that they had no table for us.

Would never go here again. I could see the corners on the processed cheese slightly melted over the dry pasta of my gourmet Mac and cheese. Please don’t eat here.

We had a large group and the server was great. We were able to enjoy a leisurely meal to celebrate the holidays without feeling rushed and it was enjoyable.

Very disappointed, with mediocre food and inattentive service. We have had better experiences here in the past, but this was a deal breaker. How do you take the flavor out of fish? Very difficult to get drink refills. Ordered soup as a side, didn't get it, then was charged extra for it. The pub atmosphere is so authentic, I was looking forward to showing it to my Irish dad. We won't be back.

Slow night with only a few tables seated. Despite this, miserably slow and inattentive service. When served, the food really disappointed. Sheppard’s pie was a very small portion for dinner, and was horribly dry. Worst I’ve ever had. The restroom was like some third-world country. A water leak all over the floor, constantly running toilet, dark and dirty. So many nice restaurants in this area. Avoid this one. Will be out of business shortly I’m sure.
