Been going here for years. Last summer service was definitely slipping we had numerous issues inside and out on the... deck. No one to service us etc. been here the past 3 months 3 times. So service still not good. The hand cut fries are not hand cut, and just soak in the grease so not pleasant at all. They are frozen steak fries out of a bag! Asked for a beer got the wrong beer but had to wait 10 mins for the waitress to get the right beer. Past three times clam cakes were not cooked inside. Today we ordered and didn’t get them they came after our entree and after asking where they were. Ordered wine but got the wrong wine. Again had to wait for waitress to come back. It isn’t busy I’m sitting here and there is a table of 4 and of 2. About 4 people at the bar. Can’t say we will be coming back. Sad but good food and service should be a given.read more

A great place to stop for Irish pub food. Great service. On my visit the entrees were top notch, but some of the... sides were good, not great. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Bristol area.read more

Great atmosphere for a hidden Irish Pub! The staff and servers were super courteous and helpful. Good selection of... local beers, and a huge menu to choose from. It made it difficult to choose with entre to start off with.read more

Always a pleasure! Great beer selections, fine food offerings, and a pleasant staff. Oh, except for Victor....okay,... actually he is THE Best (and I am not even family!). He remembers his customers and usually what they like to eat and how they like it served, plus he is courteous and has a great sense of humor. Do not let him go! He goes, we go!read more

My wife and I went here during a recent trip to Bristol and this place was great!! We went here to watch the Patriots... game and we got a table in the upstairs part which was great. They had a coupe of big screen TV's with the game on and we had a very good view. We started with the nacho's and they were huge and very good!! This is definitely one of their most popular appetizers as almost every other table seemed to get an order as well. We then had the New England clam chowder. My wife got it in a bread bowl and I got mine with a side of 3 clam cakes. It was very good and my wife said the bread bowl was amazing!! We will definitely be back the next time that we are in Bristol and I would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for friendly wait staff, good food and an overall great setting in Bristol!read more

Great place for a beer and Irish style bar food. I have never gone to Aidan's after dark - so I am looking at this... review as a lunch and brunch place. They have a good beer menu. They have a nice curated selection of beers - enough to satisfy all tastes, but not enough to overwhelm. Food is very good. The curry chips as an appetizer is well worth it. The rest of the menu is standard Irish and American fusion fare. I have never had a bad dish, but I have also never had a spectacular dish. I have heard from a younger crowd that it is also a great night spot, but I have never been there for that reason.read more

The menu here is what you expect from an Irish pub; a lot of frozen foods dropped in a fryer and a few decent... Irish-inspired comfort foods. There are a lot of beers to choose from and a decent cocktail list. If you catch one of the bartenders who knows how to make a good drink, you probably won't be disappointed (although they did raise all of their prices recently). Now for the cliched "I only gave one star, but I would have given less if I could" part. The vibe in here is horrible. It's clear very quickly that some of the staff do not have boundaries with customers and other staff. I would even go as far as to say this establishment is unsafe. Some "bouncers" can be seen man-handling female customers without cause while turning a blind eye to actual threats, fights, and overly intoxicated patrons. If you're BFFs with the bartender, you'll get your drink fast (and probably strong). Otherwise, expect a wait and curt service. The entire atmosphere here has spiraled dramatically downhill recently, and I can only suspect that is due to ownership.read more

Great pub! The Bartender was very knowledgeable and friendly. We went there after getting married and he was super... happy for us and made us feel good. They have a killer artichoke dip, it came out with some broken chips but Chris saw it and made it right and got us some fresh full chips.read more

Excellent food. Friendly service. Fantastic beer menu. Good view of the ocean. Logistics could use a little work: no... silverware at our table, no side plates with appetizers, asked for coleslaw on the side, got it on the plate soaking into entree, no salt on the table, etc.read more

We got to town Friday night and wanted to stop somewhere for a drink and a quick bite to eat. We are glad we stopped... here. Service was excellent. Food was good. There was a DJ upstairs around 10. The music wasn’t too loud so you could still have a good time at the bar downstairs.read more

Best Guinness in America. Super food and wonderful service. My favorites include the Limerick Sandwich and Bangers and... Mash. On Thursdays the Corned Beef and Cabbage is just like my grandmother made. Great value.read more

Good spot in Bristol. I had the Fish and Chips and was pleased. Cod fish real clean taste fried to a crispy... perfection. Service was fun our waitress was a blast. I do not drive to this spot parking can be tight. I ride down the local bike path and enjoy Bristol that way. I highly recommend this no issues parking a bicycle. Price also might be a turn off but this restaurant is priced cheaper or the same as others in the area. Thank you for a great time and food Aidan's Pub staff!read more

Very Nice Establishment 👍 On the Corner of Thames Street. Aidan's Has Their Own Parking Lot. Outdoor Seating on Two... Levels with a Bar. Food and Ambiance Were Top Shelf. Reasonable Pricing. However Their Is an Exception (Hence, Only 4 Stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟) When the Price of a Mixed Drink, ($12) Exceeds the Price of a Meal, One Has to Question What IS Reasonable and Customary.read more

I first went there with a friend, who treated me for my birthday. The food is beyond GREAT. The fish and chips are huge... portions. Fresh fish daily. Music on Sundays . Just a beautiful Irish restaurant. Take your family and enjoy the park across from the pub. There's outside and inside seating. Enjoy fresh food. I got the mountain meatloaf. Just perfect 😊❤️😊😊.read more

Decided to check out Aidan’s for a Father’s Day lunch. We’ve lived in East Bay for decades but had never been. ... Food, atmosphere, and service rocked! The fish ‘n chips and barbecued brisket were excellent. Our server A.J. couldn’t have been more gracious and helpful as my husband peppered him with questions about the menu. The burgers that passed by our table on their way to other patrons looked amazing, and the pub is impeccably clean. Looking forward to dining upstairs on the deck next time. Oh, and reasonable prices too. Don’t know how we missed this gem, but Aidan’s will definitely be our new favorite hangout!read more

I have fallen in love with this place. It's small and cozy and local. Whenever I visit I always come here for their... Mirish coffee. It's such a cool little place in Bristol with good food and good people.read more
