Johnnie MacCracken's Celtic Firehouse Pub

Stopped by on a Friday afternoon with some coworkers for a drink. From the time you walk in, its a total pub feel. A great selection of traditional English and Irish beers as well as local brews. Plenty to choose from. The food menu is concise and diverse. I ordered a Reuben sandwich and the meat was wonderfully tender. Service was great and the beer garden space, out back, was decorated with smatterings of England, Ireland, beach, and American party themes. I didn't stay too late, but the scene was picking up by 9pm. Looking forward to going back.

A few weeks ago I ordered an old fashioned and thought it was lackluster. I got another from another bar recently and realized the McCracken one was awful. Was extremely watered down and, in retrospect, disappointing.

My son and his fiance were recently married in the Marietta Square. We contacted MacCrackens to provide food and drinks for about 25 people after the ceremony. They had Shepards Pie, Irish Nachos, a Patak Sausage platter and 2 types of chicken wings. The food was off the chain good and the bar service was simply stellar. Shelby was our bartender and they did an amazing job. I cant say enough about this place as we moved our celebration to the beer garden where they had a great band playing. Thanks you Gary, Kathy, Ali, Gains, and Shelby for making our event one for the ages.
