Nice restaurant/bar.
The place is comfortable with options to either sit at a table or at the bar.
There were several TVs at the bar, so there are options depending on what sports are on.
The menu was pretty good with enough options to appease most.
I can’t say enough about the Steak Tidbits – they were excellent. I ordered them as a starter, but had I known I’d like them so much, I’d have ordered another dish of them. I also ordered the ‘B.O.Y.B. (Build Your Own Burger) – which I picked a simple bacon cheeseburger in so many words. It was pretty tasty. My companion ordered a vegetable wrap, which looked quite good itself.
I’m not a beer connoisseur, but there seemed to be a pretty good selection for those who do. The drinks I did order were well made.
The bartenders were attentive and very friendly.
This place shares the space with a few other businesses, including another bar/restaurant.
If I had a complaint, it’s the parking lot design – not the Irish Poet’s fault at all. The lot is poorly designed and while I get what the intention was, it doesn’t work. If you use the lot, exercise caution due to the lack of room and bad drivers. I believe there is municipal parking behind the buildings if the lot is full or if you don’t feel like dealing with the lot at all.
Overall a comfortable place with good food, a good menu, and friendly staff, Definitely a place I’d happily return to. In fact, I want to go back just for those steak tidbits alone.

Tried this place out for the first time on Sunday, it’s the perfect place to watch football. The wait staff was so friendly & the food was so good! Highly recommend the Mac & cheese bites! Also got chicken tenders with dry rub seasoning, 10/10! Heard there’s karaoke this Tuesday so I will definitely be there for some good food and good vibes!

We came here because the restaurant next door was snippy and it was indeed a happy accident! The New England clam chowder was excellent. Very fresh and lots of clams. Most places give you mostly potatoes but that was not the case here.
The waitress was great. Very friendly and very fast. We ordered lunch and for two people, it came out to close to $60 for lunch. Manhattan has indeed arrived on Long Island! Regardless, we had a nice time and would come back again. The restaurant’s food was great, the service was great and the interior was very clean. Nice place for date night, large groups or a game.

First time there, food was good. Second time there, food was not good. Had wings that were rubbery and not cooked enough, pretzel had way too much salt and not enough cheese with it. Service was slow and it wasn’t very busy so no reason for it. Won’t bother to go again.

Didn’t care for the pretzel was very dry, water tasted like chlorine.steak w peppers n onions the shrimp and potatoes were good. Salmon wasn’t what we expected but was pretty good . Would have liked the salad on a separate plate it soaked up the meat juice. Service was slow but it was very busy. we will go back for a second try

Great local place. I actually enjoy it better than craft. Wait staff is definitely on top of their game. Only issue for me is too many good choices

This spot is everything you’d want in a neighborhood restaurant — welcoming, cozy, and serving up food that leaves you planning your next visit before the check even arrives.
Let’s start with the smash burgers — hands down some of the best around. Perfectly seared, juicy, and full of flavor, they strike that ideal balance between crispy edges and tender insides. And if you’re in the mood for comfort food, the shepherd’s pie is a standout. Whatever you order, it will be fresh. Personally, my daughter & I love the chicken sandwich (I always ask for it tossed in hot sauce!).
The decor shows real pride in the space. Everything was carefully planned with the goal of making their customers comfortable and happy to stay a while. You can still have a conversation even when it’s crowded. If you’re there to watch a game, there are plenty of tv’s throughout.
Staff are friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and you can tell they care about your experience. There’s plenty of parking in the back, which makes things easy, and the layout includes multiple spaces for private parties.
The vibe is comfortable and casual — come as you are — but everything is still spotlessly clean, including the beautiful & well maintained bathrooms, which don’t go unnoticed (especially by those of us who pay attention to the details!).
They also host regular special events so there really is something for everyone. Highly recommend!

Great Irish fare and a reasonably priced menu. Specials today included potato soup, so we had to try it. Glad we did! Our first time but we’ll be back soon.
Update: As always, the food and service were wonderful. I have to comment on the choice of music tho. Instead of the usual Irish bands of the 80s 90s and 00s, it was non-stop genuine American country music: torch and twang, all male, testosterone laden ballads. Not a female voice to be heard. Not what you’d expect or appreciate in a traditional Irish pub. Minus 1 star for that gaff.

A beautiful looking restaurant with a gorgeous bar. Very clean along with a very friendly staff!
I ordered The Irish Burger with sweet potato fries. The burger was unbelievable and cooked just like I ordered it ( medium rare) along with the fries! Very satisfying and filling!
I highly recommend this restaurant! I will be coming back again this weekend along with my family! Thanks again, and see you soon!

The best pub in the Wantagh area! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Their pretzel is so soft and served with delicious beer cheese. Their Mac and cheese is creamy and delicious. Strongly recommend their cosmos! Can’t wait to go back.
