Just back from our first visit to Mulligan’s Pub (39 Blake Blvd.), and I expect we’ll be repeat visitors. There was a decent Happy Hour-type crowd when we arrived around 6pm but a lot of the people had shuffled off by 7 or so. Dinner for me was a $3 pint-of-the-day and a Shepherd’s Pie, while the wife downed a Kelly’s Wrap, which is basically a salad in a wrap. The feedback is that both choices were good, though I found mine a bit lacking in vegetables you’d typically find in a Shepherd’s Pie.
The staff was quite friendly and made the effort to make us feel welcome. Anthony greeted us shortly after a grabbed a table away from the bar, and between him and the other bartender they didn’t leave us wanting.
Overall the place had a convivial atmosphere. From what I understand from an ad on the table, there’s trivia on Thursday evenings at 7pm? Could be a good excuse for a repeat visit this week.
Their loaded potato soup is fab, as are their sandwiches, made with Boars Head (once you go Boars Head, you can't go back … truly). They also have great St. Patty's Day celebrations! Have been there for a few Happy Hours myself, but I tend to try not to go out during the week and the thing with Happy Hour that I dislike is that I am one who prefers to go home and "pretty myself up" after a long day at the office, so by the time I do that, HH is usually long over!
