Great craft brews, and the Shepherd’s Pie is amazing. It's a crowded little place with a homey atmosphere and amazing food. My daughter and I had flown in late afternoon, got to our hotel nearby, and searched online for a close place to eat. I made the reservation, we walked in, and we were seated immediately. It happened to be my birthday. I couldn't have chosen a better place to celebrate.

This place is great. They were just opened and running around like crazy, but did an amazing job, and really made everyone feel great. The food was excellent, stew, shepherds pie, chicken all great. Great tap selection, wines were good. They have these things called curry fries, with a curry sauce…you MUST order them. We then went back for Sunday brunch, it was even better and the Irish Coffee was outstanding! We stay nearby for our trips there, this is on the “must go every time” short list.

Stopped in on a cold, rainy night and had the best French onion soup EVER. Also had potato skins which were decent. I should have gone for the bowl of soup and called it quits...it was THAT good!

Dark-and-Tan, great Sheppard's Pie, real Irish waitresses, come on; what's not to love?!!!! Stopped by while walking the Freedom Trail. Glad we stopped.

I rarely write mediocre and negative reviews but we were SO excited to go to Emmet’s... and it was simply a massive let down.First, the good stuff. The atmosphere was really lively and very typical of such a pub in Ireland. We should know having visited there many times. The Guinness was also delicious. And the lady that serviced us was lovely too. It was grubby and rustic around the edges but again, that’s standard for an Irish pub.So, to the food. My wife loves fish and chips. And she said hers was terrible. Her plate was well worked through by the end... but that’s because I ate most of it as my chicken pot pie wasn’t great. Almost like a very creamy veg soup with virtually no chicken and a lonely pastry top. Didn’t feel authentic or traditional at all. We have been to the west coast, south and north east of Ireland. So maybe it’s typical of somewhere in the centre. Benefit of the doubt. The kids had sausage and mash, which went down well. But one of us had salmon that was so overcooked it was left untouched by everyone. It was however kindly taken off the bill. Maybe we just got very unlucky. It was a bit busy but nevertheless, it wasn’t anywhere near what we expected.Unlikely to return, which is sad as this place is does have much going for it.
