Blackthorn Restaurant & Irish Pub

If you want a big Irish-style pub, with draught beer and a bunch of TV's, you've got it. Great spot to watch the games on Sunday during football season, the staff is friendly (and cute, which helps). Food is solid as well; reminds me a lot of the Grasshopper in Morristown. Check it out on Thurs, Fri, and Sat nights, or for sports.

Great local pub. The football crowd is out on Sundays and Monday night with beer and food specials. Thursday - Saturday nights are usually filled with the younger crowd as there is a DJ. Do not come for late night dinner/drinks during those days, if you just wanted to relax and watch the games.

There aren't enough superlatives to describe this place. Management turns hospitality into an art form: all are welcome here & lovingly treated. The staff is courteous & efficient, always aiming to please & never missing the mark. The food is excellent & reasonably priced. We have never once had a bad meal here, nor a bad experience. This pub & restaurant is over an hour's drive for us & is always well worth the trip. We love it & can never wait for our return visits.

Went back today for lunch against better judgment with group of 6. Issues we had:
1. No greater. After waiting by the door for 5 minutes for seating we were told by the bartender to just go in and sit down
2. People seated after us got menus before us.
3. We were seated for about 10 minutes before menus came.
4. We waited about 10 minutes for soda’s/water
5. Specials menu was not correct
6. We ordered basically bar food- burgers, fries and such. Took over ½ hour to get food
7. Cheese burger-cheese was melted off
8. Some orders were wrong and inappropriately cooked
9. People ordered after us received food before us
10. Waitress dropped a knife on the back of a customer at our table
11. The bill was wrong and the waitress knew it but brought the bill to us anyway
Will not ever go back…..

This place is a great big place for happy hour and Irish grub fare. The sheppard pie is pretty good and always fills me up. I've come here on my lunch break for the world cup games. There's plenty of TV everywhere.

Service is always good here. The bartenders are good at keeping your cup is full.
When I'm here I usually see middle-aged people. This is not a young people guido bar.

There's outdoor seating during the nice weather seasons. There's ample parking in the lot.
