The Cottage Irish Pub

I had the most delightful experience today at this cute little pub. Tara & Hannah, the bartenders, greeted me with a warm welcome and provided friendly service throughout. The roast beef sandwich was made with love, evident in every delicious bite. The cozy vibes, from the ambient lighting to the music, transported me to Ireland. The pints of Guinness were impeccably poured, ice-cold, and flawless. Thank you for such a lovely experience – can't wait to return!

I have mixed reviews. If you are going there for dinner, they have pigs in a blanket with pretzel buns, delicious to add beer cheese. I went there one late night and they were empty and not very hospitable. Downtown Eau Gallie has little open late night and they could benefit for putting some effort into late night food and drinks. I will be back!

Very chill atmosphere whether you choose to sit inside or out. Bar staff very friendly and attentive. The pretzel and beer cheese was delicious. We chose two different entree’s; my husband had a huge jalapeño burger w/ fries while I opted for the cottage pie. We both had a couple cocktails. My husband chose a dark lager while I had the Irish coffee which was phenomenal! I’d never had a coffee w/ whiskey but I will be now each time we return. We’d highly recommend this venue for food, fun, and cocktails. They had a nice outdoor children’s picnic table as well as big block jenga to play and entertain kids. Prices are very reasonable for all. Our bill would’ve been under $30 without cocktails.

There were 4 of us and we arrived at 11:15 Sunday morning. First customers of the day. This was my wife and I second time here. Our waiter was Rey and he was very good. He really knew the menu and made recommendations and they were spot on. Two of us had the Ruben sandwich, one had the Irish breakfast sandwich and one had the Cottage something. Kind of like Shepherds pie. All were excellent. I was the only one who finished their entire meal. Will definitely be back. They also give a military discount.

This place is a hidden gem. I was surprised reading some of the lower rated reviews, wondering if they used to have bad service/employees. But I went here for the first time a few months ago, and have been back many times since. I have never encountered bad service or rude employees. The food is… incredible. It’s some of the most flavorful and delicious food I’ve ever had at a restaurant/bar. It also comes out almost shockingly fast and fresh. The crispy Brussel sprouts are incredible, bangers and mash slaps, literally everything I’ve tried has been amazing. The drinks are also phenomenal, even as someone who’s not that into beer or whiskey. There’s something for everyone here. The vibes are amazing, indoors is super cozy and chill, out front there’s seating and usually live music. Out back there’s more seating, a beautiful atmosphere/lights and a jumbo jenga set. I cannot recommend this place enough. The only thing I suggest is that if you want food and it’s Friday/Saturday, I’d go earlier (like before 8ish?) because sometimes they stop serving food early if they’re super busy. Doesn’t bother me, since it only happens if they’re overwhelmingly busy and they have a small kitchen and are family owned. Imo, if you want something super consistent but mid, go to a chain like Chili’s. Give this place a try, it’s so much better than Meg’s!
