Tipperary Taphouse

Dinner here on a Thursday night, a small crowd at the bar, relaxed, chatting with one another and the bartender. I chose to sit at the last booth to be away from the chatter. Each booth has a little tv screen on the wall set to CP24. Good entertainment :) The light at the booth was comfortable, I think it’s brighter now in the restaurant?
I had the pie of the day which is a steak and mushroom pie with Guinness gravy ($ 12). Salad or fries come with it. It was a good pie, pastry was flaky and tasty. Filling was rich. Kids’ meal was a good value at $ 7.50 that comes with a drink and ice-​cream. The Shepherd’s Pie was a good size! The pie was tasty too, I’ll order that for myself next time. A friend had the French Onion soup. Maybe the regular cook was away but the soup came with a thin slice of cheese on top, half melted away, instead of the generous, puffy cheese with a nice brown crust on it that I had on my first visit here.
3.5 stars for the meal and service. 4 stars if the presentation had been better ;)

Great atmosphere! Nine TVs for sports viewing. Music isn’t too loud. Menu is changed regularly.
We ordered the special onion scoops but they were out so we had the Irish meatballs instead. The gravy was delicious, the polenta was skilfully made and perfectly cooked.
For our entrées we had the fettuccine with coleslaw, the holy guacamole burger and the chilli pot pie. Fries were stellar: medium thickness, golden brown and crispy and served with malt vinegar on the table. We got a side of gravy because the first round was so good. It’s too bad we were too full for dessert!
Beers on tap include Rickard’s Red, Red Falcon, Mill Street, Guinness and a Beau’s Revolving Tap as well as classics like Coors and Canadian among others.
It has only been around for 6 months but it’s a great neighbourhood establishment.
