Waxy O'shea's Irish Pub

After reading reviews, we were hesitant to try Waxy O’Shea’s. However, regardless of what some reviews say, we found this to be a fun place to hang out with real people. All of the servers were very kind and down to earth. We enjoyed our conversations with Sharon, and we actually came back twice, just because of her amazing service. It is very laid back and a bit grungy. Overall, it was our favorite spot to hang out and meet new people. My husband said the Scotch eggs were great! The cheese curds were pretty good, too.

Good burger and fries. I had the "Grand" double cheeseburger, because when in Rome, right? It was good, juicy and flavorful. Liked the choice of cheese available as well, you don't see that often enough. Also had the Boulevard unfiltered wheat and the Schlafly Pumpkin Ale on draft. Good service with a polite and kind server. Music at times a bit loud, but it was the middle of the day and very few people so maybe when fill it wouldn't have seemed as loud. Love that it's a local family owned establishment!

I was hesitant to try this place, because of the service reviews I read, the hubs wanted irish pub food. However the service was great an we got right to a table. We got scotch eggs, beer cheese soup and fish and chips. The scotch eggs were good. Everything we ordered had a pleasing appearance. The beer cheese soup had no flavor other than raw alcohol. The cod was cooked well. However cod is a juicy fish and it needed drained before it was placed on a bed of undercooked fries. Nothing had a good flavor and the whole meal lacked salt. We probably will not return unless something changes.

Super fun atmosphere, family friendly before 9pm (but on the loud side). Went for drinks and an appetizer but they were severely deluded. 9 drinks and 2 apps later with a $95 tab before tip the three of us barely felt the "giddiness" of a "night out." Food was amazing, but we went for the *pub* portion and we were disappointed. Had to emphasize the last round that we wanted more to drink and less ice and got charged for doubles. If you go for food, 5 stars, if you go for drinks, 2 stars. Oh, and servers are fantastic.

Waxy O'Shea's was great. David was an entertaining and excellent server. The bartender was a true artist! Mixed the best chocolate martini and margarita ever. Drink specials were $5! Woo hoo😉Food was very good with great guidance on choices from David C. Thank you for making it a great birthday celebration.
