Group of 9 of us on. Friday at lunch and had no issues being seated. Jackie took great care of us and the food was great, no complaints from anyone. I had the fish tacos (Friday during Lent) and while they looked underwhelming there was something about them that just hit & they were delicious! Espresso martinis were great and packed the perfect punch for a work lunch. I have no doubt we'll be back.
Great pub and Chris and Michael really take care of you! Lovely outdoor seating area and a great selection of whiskey's
I got the corned beef and cabbage and it was amazing The fish and chips are amazing as well The owner is extremely friendly and cares a lot about the business
10/10 Food & Drinks. Whether you are looking for a beer, cocktail, or whiskey flight, you can find something to enjoy. The Smithwicks paired well with the Guinness Burger and the Celtic House Steak (comes with a whiskey cream sauce, yum). We finished off with more drinks for dessert and the Celtic Dream was the perfect sweet end note. Our server was very sweet and knowledgeable and ensured we were taken care of when they had a full house on a Friday night. Highly recommend sitting downstairs, although there are different draft options depending on what is on tap upstairs.
Celtic House is a classic Irish pub. The prices are decent, it was lovely to see some sub $10 holiday cocktails since I'm so used to DC pricing. I opted for the Nutty Irishman which is an Bailey's coffee with the addition of Frangelico. Yum! The vibe on the night I went skewed older/more local but it was fun to explore a neighborhood Arlington haunt. I could tell that the patrons in Celtic House came often, they were very spirted and engaged with the band. The live band was excellent! I would make the trek just to see them again. Celtic House has a rotating calendar of events ranging from live music, trivia, traditional Irish performances and sports viewings. Service was also great, our waitress was very attentive. No complaints from me! I hope to be back to sample food someday soon!
This is a neighborhood staple and a personal favorite. I'd recommend the fish and chips and checking out the basement bar too. The bartenders are great, the drink menu (esp Guinness and whiskey) are very reasonably priced and the vibes are on point.
Great new whiskey bar on the lower level of the shopping center. The Whiskey Bar is the sister to Celtic House. Very friendly, helpful staff. Everyone seemed excited about this new bar. Interesting list of bourbon, scotch, and Irish whiskey, the latter being their specialty. About 12 tables and a similar number of seats at the bar. It's got a cozy, intimate feel. I appreciate their Laphroaig and Ardbeg offerings. Between the my friend and I, we tried Teeling, Macallan, Red Breast, and Laphroaig options. I ordered the Donegal chips, which were delicious. I loved my experience here and am looking forward to returning.
