Cool spot, they've got guiness & Powers, that's really all i need. Had a few beers after a hike nearby and it really hit the spot. I tried the bangers & mash, they were great. I also got the tots which were pretty good. I'd come back if I were in the area.

We have never had a disappointing experience at Sean Bolan’s. Food is amazing and the wait staff are always knowledgeable and friendly. Our last visit 1/6/2025 we had Alex as our waitress and she was fantastic. She was not only attentive but also had an extremely pleasant demeanor which sadly you don’t always find anymore.

Friendly staff. I just had two cup soups: the red pepper soup and irish stew. Both really good, comforting, and savory; exactly what I wanted after working all day in the cold. Pleased with the fat lump of crab in the red pepper soup. Cheers

We went to Sean Bolans for a celebration. We had the shepherds pie and my husband was in the mood for something not on the menu. A bread bowl with mashed potatoes and gravy. And Sean Bolans delivered! It was delicious. Chelsey was our server and she was amazing. She was polite, prompt, and patient. We had friends join us later on and she kept up with the orders and drinks. Highly recommend and we hope Chelsey is recognized for her fantastic customer service.

Has bar seating and table seating. Want to have more privacy??? You can go upstairs and have a seated dinner. Awesome food, drinks and service!

Excellent shepherd's pie made with a blend of mild ground lamb & beef. Bangers & mash--you can't beat the thick sausages. Good US-made versions of German wheat beers are on draught. A special of the day was an enormous avocado & shrimp salad wrap. The shrimp were big. The marbled bread is tasty. The Reuben sandwiches had excellent corned beef.
