"This brunch is not for sissies. It is the real deal. Irish influence on every dish and beautifully prepared and packed with flavor. I will be back and often."

"The bartender was also the owner. Very attentive and nice. Our meals took a little longer than expected, but they were delicious. My friend absolutely loves the meatloaf! When you get the french fries- ask for gravy on them or on the side...Mmmmmm"
LISA B
"This bar is an incredible place for some amazing cocktails and a wide selection of whiskeys. It has a calm and almost low-light atmosphere inside, and the walls are decorated with interesting posters and stories. The drinks here are very good, and they do not skimp on the alcohol. The prices are fitting for the quality as well. If you're hungry, they do have a delicious menu as well. There is something for everyone here, but do understand that you should be ordering cocktails and whiskey... beer and wine not so much. The only downside is that it can feel a bit cramped inside. Apart from that, I highly recommend coming here for drinks."

Frankly, these guys had me at whiskey, but there’s more to enjoy at this Irish-influenced establishment than just booze. The usual Irish suspects are on the menu—bangers & mash, shepherd’s pie, meatloaf—but Seanachai also caters to the local bar crowd with a double bacon pimento cheeseburger with house-made pimento cheese, fried chicken sliders, smothered fries or tots and, of course, hot wings.
