What Bulah Larson likes about The Irish Penny Pub:
Even tho it was Mothers Day our table was ready , the service was good, and food was right temperature. We were happy to find that The Lighthouse is now under Open Table for reservations. View all feedback. What Opentable Diner doesn't like about The Irish Penny Pub:
A nice bar the shepherd's pie is a little questionable not authentic needs more flavor and should be baked in the oven with the potatoes on top not for squirts on the side it's almost like it was pre-made and it was dipped and they put the potatoes just to make it a shepherd's pie not a great dish. The large pretzel is impressive service was nice View all feedback.

The overall consensus on the restaurant is mixed, with some customers praising the food and service, while others were disappointed with certain aspects. The steamed shrimp is highlighted as a delicious option, but the crab dip is described as subpar. Some customers had positive experiences with the service, while others mentioned issues with table clearing and noise levels. The establishment is noted to have a nice outdoor seating area with views of the water. The menu seems to offer authentic Irish dishes, drawing mixed reviews from those who enjoyed the traditional fare and those who were not fans. One reviewer suggested improvements to the shepherd's pie. The establishment is commended for its whiskey selection, specials, and consistent quality of food and service. Overall, the restaurant seems to offer a pleasant dining experience with room for improvement in certain areas.

Aloha, The Irish Penny Pub is awesome, from authentic Celtic live music to Guinness on tap.
