2 /5 Dan Langston: The Irishmen has been a staple in the city for a good amount of time, so I am sorry to be writing such a raw take.
We arrived and were seen pretty fast for our orders in a Saturday night, but the good stops there.
We ordered beer and a few good Irish whiskeys. The bartender made our drinks and they sat there for 10 minutes- I many times almost went up to take them ourselves. The beer was barely cooler than room temperature, with a cold glass that made the temperature gradient bizzare. The whiskey we ordered was poured incredibly low, for $12-15 whiskies it was a complete ripoff.
We did not want to order food after that but decided to give them a chance by ordering some simple fries. It came out about 20min later seemingly freshly made, but they were very mediocre- super flour battered (they should mention this on the menu for people with gluten issues) and over cooked inside.
We had to ask for water with our check, despite needing refills for over an hour.
Its a cool vibe and I have historically liked the irishmen, but I hope that they are able to address some real issues they have with quality of food and drinks provided.
