Rare Olde Times is the perfect Irish bar! I felt like we stepped into someplace that I've seen on movies and TV shows with all the pub decor and overall atmosphere. The food was great, definitely try the appetizer sampler. Can't wait to go one day when there's live music!
Just had dinner here. Anastasia was our server and she was absolutely awesome. Really good food, very reasonably priced, and all tasted fresh! New go to for going out nights where we wanna shake things up.
This fun pub is a great place to celebrate anything and everything. They always seem to have an event going on, whether it's pub trivia, brunch, open mic, or anything you can fancy doing in a pub (not much a dance floor, though).
They have daily specials, so the menu is always unique, but it is pricey (especially their salads). Small quantities for big money is the name of the game here.
Otherwise, try their Irish themed meals or vegetarian friendly items.
Everyone on the staff is fun, energetic, and give top notch service
Always lovely!! Great service with the right amount amount of Irish pizzazz...live music was nice touch too.
If you like potatoes and wholesome Irish cuisine, this is the place for you. Small, quaint little operation. I would recommend visiting, atmosphere is nice. Staff was engaging and helpful. Get the buffalo chicken Mac n cheese.
This pub is a "rare" find that will teleport you to the "olde times". I'd visited on Saint Patrick's Day and was pleasantly surprised by the crowd, ambience, music and energy. It felt more like a local Irish festival and less like a bar. The live music was great, and people were singing and dancing along. I enjoyed a couple of drinks and their fish and chips, although it'd have been great if the fish was less oily.
All in all, I'd highly recommend visiting.
Rare Olde Times has rearranged the tables to ensure all customers feel save dining in. During the time we were there, they had turned down many walked in customers, I am thankful for their efforts and felt sad for them for losing business opportunities. Please remember to make a reservation first. Food and service were great as usual.
One of the best dives that I've been to In a long time. staff made you feel like family yesterday atmosphere was very warm and very inviting live band music. Great place to raise a pint.

8/29/2023: I love Rare Olde Times. My best friend and I ate there today in memory of Sinead O'Connor.
Went there to meet friends and see a band play. Nice atmosphere. The stage is small, so the band couldn't have drums; but the sound system was good. Food is excellent: I had the mustard encrusted salmon with asparagus and potato pancakes: very generous portions. Service was slow, even understanding that the place was packed
