Honest review. Im sure the owners poured their heart and soul while finding investors who know the two are a staple to local community. The atmosphere is fine for beers and drinks while watching a game on their big screens. However, if the kitchen continues the way its running, it will be the demise of the place. I understand it's still working out its kinks because it just opened but it needs to improve.

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.

This place is terrific! Food was crazy delicious and came fast and furious! Beautiful and comfortable atmosphere! Already, after being open only 2 weeks, so popular! A great experience!

Had a great time here. Food was great. Ordered hot wings, mozzarella fritta, and sliders. Everything was great. Paul was our bartender and he was fantastic. He was very prompt with our drink orders and he knew the shelves well. He was very knowledgeable about the different spirits offered. Will definitely come back.

Service was ok and my fish and chips could have been crispier. Very good beer selection. What turned me off was the 4% extra charge for using my credit card. There are plenty of other places that don't charge extra. Covid extras are over.

Wantagh has more than it's fair share of Irish bars, with the Irish Poet being one of the newer additions. Much more spacious on the inside than the exterior leads on, which is a nice surprise. Long bar and ample standing space as well as a dedicated sitting area if you choose to dine gives you plenty of options. Walls are lined with TVs, it's a great place to catch any major game. Beer choice is good, nothing too out of the ordinary through if you're looking for something a little more off the beaten path. Staff were funny and friendly and I'd be glad to come back here again. Parking both in the front and back lot, so shouldn't be too much of an issue.

This is a great Irish bar to watch a game (watched the Jets lose as they often do) and to catch up with friends. It was absolutely mobbed when we went but the bartenders and staff kept up with all the craziness.

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.

I went here with my daughters. Well we were very happy. Wings are amazing! They love the fried pickles and my girls are picky. Sandwiches were great. Love the atmosphere . Our server Emma was amazing. She was busy but was very attentive and her service was great. She is a sweet friendly hardworking girl. Thank you! We will be back with the rest of our family.

I wish I could give this restaurant 10 stars! So glad we found it! Been there 2x and plan to make this our regular spot! The food is delicious and both times our server Justine was incredible.The second time we came she not only remembered our names but remembered our drinks!!!! Can't wait to try more menu items. The atmosphere is fun and friendly. Look forward to coming back.

Great place to meet up with friends. Plenty of space, the TVs have all the games on and the service is spot on. Met up with a group to celebrate a birthday. Plenty of convenient parking too. Will definitely be back there again

Food was delicious, the place had all the games on, and the bartender was a very pleasant and engaging giant of a man, Herbie. The beer selection was nice and the Guinness was top notch. I might even compare it to Guinness in Ireland, which if you've been, is better than in USA.

Nice local restaurant - I'll be back. This location is 50% bar and 50% restaurant. I did see some families eating here, but I personally would not being young children. My wife and I were walk in's around 6/7pm on a Saturday night. There was not a table available but we agreed to wait at the bar for the anticipated 30 min for a table. The bar location was nice. We stood along the divider between the restaurant and bar where they have a standing table. We were served quickly and my mixed drink was rather good. We were called for our table well in advance of our 30 min wait, which was nice. Started with the potato skin appetizer which was also rather good. It would have been nicer if the toppings were more evenly dispersed but overall it was good. I know, it sounds picky but some potato pieces had cheese, bacon and scallion, while others had nothing but cheese. I then had the steak tidbit sandwich. It was good, I would recommend. Service could be a bit slow at times, it took us a while to get the check and pay, but it was a fairly busy Saturday night. Relaxing and very nice atmosphere. Even though the place was crowded, it was not so loud that you could not talk. We'll be back, either for lunch with the family, or for dinner just the wife and I.

Most dfntly need reservations.. happy lively environment.. our 1st time last night and we r from Bayside Queens...We have Maggie May's and Donovan's is gone..but my sister in law who lives in Bellmore suggested it... I'll b honest and gentle...yes it was St. Patrick's and yes it was crazy..food arrived a bit cold..1 dish was the clontark chicken? Our teen didn't want the mozzarella..and there it was...she was starving and removed the cheese....the cornbeef sandwich was a bit skimpy..it was ok..I had the beef stew...it was good...our other teen had the shepard's..it was ok...again...I get that that it was super busy...am willing 2 drive all the way back 4 a 2nd try. Our waitress was very accommodating. I give it 5 stars 4 the happy lively environment☘🍀🇱🇷🇮🇪🎊🎉

We had a party for my mom last week. It was great! The pictures of the room on the website doesn't do it any justice! It's so nice! And definitely bigger than I thought. The food and service were amazing....Amy and Jen. I highly recommend having a party there!

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 place!! An employee/friend, Bryan B, recommended this place tonight.. Amazing food and atmosphere. My wife and I can’t wait to visit again!

Beautiful space, good food and fantastic atmosphere. Sure to be a new hit in Wantagh. We will be back often.

What a great looking place. Huge bar and bar area. Plenty of dinner seating. Owners are locals, known to all. Friendly and reasonable.....a must stop for a breath of fresh air.....

Great place and bartenders were so friendly and made deliciously good drinks. We had app combo, wings and nachos. All tasty bar food

New place is great, the bar is beautiful, new owner did it right. Food is great, they have a beautiful side room with separate bar for private events or meetings. Highly recommend. Staff very friendly...
