Long waiting‎, bad food, poor service

by calgaryhart

Last night marked my second time going to Fiddler's Green in 2 years, and it left the same impression on me as it did the first time.

It took 50 minutes to get a sandwich, which was cold when it was supposed to be hot, and a dessert (the blueberry cobbler which literally was instant oatmeal mixed with blueberry pie filling, warmed, then with a scoop of ice cream on it). It took 15 minutes just get a beer on tap and we saw the fairly rude server 3 times though the night.

The prices are also way too high for the fair quality of food. $15 for 3 small fish fillets for fish and chips. And that oatmeal dessert was $5. Did I mention that the food tastes very plain? It does.

The best part of this place is the atmosphere. The place looks like a 100 year old authentic pub, including live Irish music on some days. But that is the only good part about this place.

Only go here if you want to enjoy what it looks like and want to wait ridiculously long for simple, even embarrassing (dessert), food items.

• Pros: Nice atmosphere, ok beer selection
• Cons: Long wait for food, poor food, bad service, pricey for poor food

Not as good as it used to be

by cdljcheckers

Portions and food quality have suffered. Make sure you call ahead because sometimes they have rock music that is not tolerable.

Still the best Irish in town but only because there are few alternatives

• Pros: Food is good
• Cons: service poor

Thoroughly Irish

by marissam

this is a good way to do the weekend unwinding- the bar is extensive, and the shepherd's pie is great. The whole thing is very authentic.

• Pros: Good food, nice place
• Cons: there were a few very drunk college kids

AS AUTHENTIC AS IT GETS

by irishone1

A great pub to relax, wind down, and have fun. Great food, lunch is excellent as well, relatively inexpensive, and you can't beat the atmosphere.

Stick-to-your-bones pub grub and flowing brews fuel the Irish spirit at this cozy pub.

Guests mosey into this green and brown building to find a pub worth in comparison to taverns across the pond. The authentic restaurant and bar combo lends to several areas for dining and boozing, favoring dark wood, green and burgundy wallpaper with floral designs and ale memorabilia. The wooden bar in the main room serves libations, wine and more 20 beers on tap. Dining options include Shepherd's pie, Hen in the Pot, Gaelic steak and various burgers. Live entertainment puts the Irish spirit in motion as Winter Park families, Rollins Colege students and locals mix at this boisterous bar.

Fiddler Green = Irland

by RockOnWP

Amazing. Great place to get away from it after work, or later into the night. An authentic Irish Pub....you'll feel like your in Irland in no time. They serve up great drinks, a total social experience. Talking, mingling, meeting new people. The Food is great. You can also get away from all the hectic talking after meeting someone by going to the rooms that surround the bar to sit down, order drinks or food and just relax. Amazing place!

Great fiddling fun!

by lelo

Great place for music and a pint. It can get crowded, but that just adds to the fun. The live music is actually "lively" and inspires great sing-a-longs. I go as often as I can.

• Pros: good beer selection, good music, fun crowd
• Cons: gets crowded, music gets repreated
