Our favorite nights at Cowleys are the weekends of Blackthorn. It is a great venue for live music. Service is exceptional. Food is amazing. Can't go wrong with anything. There is an elevator for the second floor. Parking in back. Pay attention to the one ways.

Great place, great decor and warm atmosphere. Drinks are good and so are appetizers and mains. I had crab dip to start and the fish and chips, both excellent.

Classic old school Irish pub with a massive second floor for dining or just drinking. Great staff, good drinks, and excellent vibes. Will be back to try the food!

Some 30 years after first seeing Blackthorn at Cowley's, we gathered again - now in the upstairs performance space. Blackthorn is as delightful as ever. And, wow! Did Cowley's ever find a great way to create a great evening. Reservations were required and included seating...Read More

We recently had a memorial for my Uncle and the service and food were perfect. We had 100+ guests and the staff was so attentive and comforting and had everything handled. We would most definitely recommend them for future events. It felt like family which...Read More

Okay, don't order a cosmo. As a former bartender, nope. Other than that? Wonderful. The portions are huge and shareable, the Shepherds Pie was huge and 2 of use split it. Overall, loved it. And yes, a cosmo isn't an English drink, but they were...Read More

An honest, NO BS, review ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ Upstairs or downstairs the atmosphere is cozy, well-taken-care-of, and inviting. Service has been a delight; the kind that still remembers to refill a glass before fully empty and does a two-minute taste check. The food is delicious. The lobster bake to...Read More

My favorite local bar/restaurant! This place takes its ambiance directly from Eíre, Ireland 🇮🇪. (Coolhenry) It's planted in America. Everything here is authentically Irish. Including the furniture! Eat downstairs, party upstairs! (Cigar Bar). Live music & entertainment every weekend. March 17th, book as far in...Read More
