Cawleys Irish Pub

Nice big open bright neighborhood bar. They DO ALLOW smoking and most people took advantage of this. They have a restaurant side. Nice big cheesesteak. I don't know if it was the crowd, noise or smoke but I think the cheesesteak needed a little more flavor. Decent ratios but could have used a little more meat. Roll, mushrooms, fried onions, lettuce and tomatoes were plentiful and fresh. Carole got the Fish and Chips and they were very tasty.

Cawley's is an iconic Irish establishment located in the heart of the Irish community within the Highland Park section of Upper Darby Township. There are two main areas inside - the bar area and the restaurant area. Although, dining is available at any table or at the bar itself. The restaurant section was recently renovated. The renovation (during COVID-19) has given the dining area a fresh new look while providing more dining space. I believe the bar in the restaurant section was modified to provide some of this extra space.. Smoking is no longer permitted. Cawley's has daily menu item specials including dinner entrees. While the soups also rotate, when the Cream of Potato soup is on the soup menu, it is a must-have. Wing lovers should also experience Cawley's wings - and if you are lucky, Jerk Wings will be on the special menu. Recently they have been appearing on Wednesdays. Ham and Cabbage is featured on Tuesdays but could flow over to Wednesday or Thursday (no worries as the meats are delivered fresh every week). Overall, Cawley's is a great spot for family and friends. They make you feel welcome and everyone from the staff to the regulars are friendly and inviting - a relaxing place to eat, drink, and enjoy yourself!
