Irish Tavern Menu
Welcome to Irish Tavern, a lively sports bar nestled in Waterford, MI, where hearty food meets vibrant atmosphere. Known for its delicious burgers and casual dining experience, this tavern is perfect for families, groups, and late-night outings. With an array of appetizers like house-battered chicken tenders and Bavarian pretzel sticks paired with beer cheese, the menu tempts every palate.
The entrees shine with standout dishes such as the Irish Fried Chicken, served over a comforting bed of smashed potatoes, and the traditional Shepherd's Pie, a genuine taste of Ireland. Vegetarian options ensure inclusivity, making it an ideal spot for all.
Throughout the week, enjoy live music and enticing happy hour specials, complemented by a full bar and outdoor seating. With its casual ambiance and countless amenities—from pool tables to free Wi-Fi—I found the Irish Tavern a winning choice for both dining and entertainment.
