We went to the Celt Irish Pub on their Warrior Wednesday and were surprised to be served the perfect 20-oz. pint of Guinness. The best part was the $3.00 price for the pint. This special is every Wednesday from 7-PM - 9-PM. Harp and Smithwicks are also included in this Wednesday special. To compliment my Guinness I ordered the Dubliner roast beef sandwich. It consisted of warmed roast beef served with melted Swiss cheese on French bread and topped with sauteed onions. It was served with chips. I also ordered the cottage pie which was what I call a Sheppard?s pie. It was cooked with ground beef, peas and carrots and marinated with Guinness and topped with slightly browned mashed potatoes and served with a roll. The Dubliner was delicious with the roast beef moist and full of flavor and the sauteed onions really set it off. The cottage pie was as good as or better than any Sheppard?s pie I have ever eaten.
The pubs interior was as Irish a pub as you can get. It reminded me of the village pubs in southern Ireland. The owners of this pub definitely made it authentic looking and with the cute bartender, her Dublin accent and cheery smile named Lucinda, it sets the mood.
My server's name was Candice and treated my group like gold. She was attentive and very informed about the food and bar menu. She made us feel comfortable and gave excellent suggestions to each member of our group on what to order. All in all, we all will be back to enjoy our escape to Ireland in the Celt Irish Pub.
I highly recommend this pub for food, drink and service. They have made the mark.
