Claddagh Cottage Irish Pub

"Maybe the best Irish bar in Orlando. Staff is friendly and the atmosphere is great. Wish they carried liquor but the beer they carry is on point. Food isn’t amazing but it’s good enough. The menu selection holds true to Irish cuisine. Claddagh is a great neighborhood hang and is great for the local community."

"Awesome pub, people, music and food. All enjoyed their meals & pints. Service includes multiple servers and extremely attentive in spite of a packed house. Band (with the owner on banjo) were tight and authentic. Potato and leeks soup, with the real deal brown bread is pictured."

"Authentic Irish fare in a fun atmosphere - give the pasty a try! My daughter and I stopped in for dinner on a Wednesday night in May of 2023. There was a fun, laid back atmosphere and the food was tasty, though a little pricey ($16.99 each for the entrees in my pictures). Drink prices seemed to be more in line but we did not partake this time around. This is definitely a spot for you if you're looking for a pint after work or a few beers with friends!"

"This is a great place to dine and drink at if you want the feel of an Irish pub. They feature authentic Irish pub cuisine and beverages. The food was delicious and the service we received was top notch. Even the local regulars were friendly. They offer plenty of seating at the tablez or the bar. There even is seating outside for those that enjoy al fresco. We will definitely have to stop here again when we are in this part of town."

"Truly a hidden gem! I came here the day before St. Patrick's Day and was expecting the longest wait times but I was able to find a table in the back almost immediately. I am not sure how it works all the time but when I went, you had to seat yourself and then the bartender would make their way over to you to take your order. We had to wait a little while for service as there was only one bartender and one person handling the tables. I didn't mind the wait because at least we immediately were able to sit down. I started off with the Kilkenny Irish Cream Ale. I am not the biggest beer drinker but this went down very smooth. Despite its name, it doesn't have any "cream" in it but is a red ale that has been nitrogenated to give it a more creamy texture. I definitely recommend trying this one. It is important to note that this establishment does not have a liquor license and only serves beer and wine so don't come in expecting Irish Car Bombs and Picklebacks. Next, I had the potato leek soup, which did not disappoint. My sister devoured hers and then some of mine while I wasn't looking. For the main course I had the steak and mushroom pie. For starters, this was the best Irish pie I've ever had. The crust was flaky and golden brown with tons of flavor in each bite. The filling had tender and juicy steak with the most savory gravy inside. I will say the steak "bites" are quite large so you may need to cut them down a bit but it's worth it. My sister had the vegetarian pasty which I had a bite of and my goodness it was delicious. It is quite rare to find delicious vegetarian options in an Irish Pub but this place truly has outdone itself. Unfortunately, we did not have enough room for desert but next time I'll wear my stretchy pants to give it a try! Additionally, the service was attentive given how busy it was. I will definitely be coming back soon."
