2nd Work Haileys Harp And Pub Metuchen

Best Irish Pub around. Now that Kilkenny on Cranford and Molly in Clark are gone I finally trekked a bit further to Metuchen. Glad I did! Most authentic Irish food around. Great French onion soup, terrific corned beef and cabbage. Even the live music was good! And of course Guinness and Harp. Will be back!

I made a visit here sometime in mid-2021 so the pandemic was in it's early stages in feeling comfortable and opening up. So not sure if much has changed since then. I went on a weekday evening and during this time, they only offering they had were indoor seating which was very much preferred for me so it worked out great. The ambiance is very relaxed and friendly with live music which I very much enjoyed. I will point out though that the music was a little too loud so made it a little challenging to carry out my conversations. But again, live music performance was great. The food is as expected, nothing super spectacular and meets within expectations. Wings didn't have a lot of meat, not very juicy but very crunchy. But the mozzarella had a solid instagram worthy cheese pull!

Is the food the best? No. But it's good. And the vibe here is always welcoming and fun--whether I'm with my kids or out with friends, I'm always glad I stopped in.

Very nice Irish Pub that delivers good brews, bar food (good burger and rueben) and special Irish dishes. Friendly good table service. A great stop!

Nice atmosphere. Good drinks. Food good. Had shepherds pie.missing peas ,and celery, otherwise, good flavor. Onion Soup very good. Not too salty which is hard to find in restaurant soup.
