Really a great little Local Pub - constantly changing craft beer selection, nice atmosphere (though can be a bit loud), and food far better than youd expect for an Irish bar. Other than standard burgers and such - with a very good variety of types - daily specials offer unique items definitely worth checking out. On a recent visit with my wife we sampled the appetizer special, "Brie Brulee", squares of Brie topped with caramelized sugar, served on toast points with balsamic and peaches - quite tasty! Also make sure to try their beer sampler if you are into variety or cant make a choice, the wooden carrier is somewhat unique. Oh, and the fish and chips is always good, with a very large single 8-10" beer battered fillet served with their pub fries.

Pros: - I LOVE the flavor combinations and the quality of the ingredients. - I really like that they offer takeout. - They make sure their takeout is packed well; nothing got smushed and the pickle spear was wrapped so that it wouldnt get anything soggy. - We received our food quickly, and the person that took our order over the phone was very nice. Cons: - My husband ordered his burger medium, and received it well done. I asked for well done, and got burned edges with an overcooked center. Im sure it was a fluke, though. Conclusion: I will definitely eat here again; an overcooked burger isnt the end of the world and I love the menu options.

Went into the pub today to have a late lunch and was completely ignored. There were about 20 people around and we were hungry and despite what I thought was obvious eye contact no one ever came to our table and offered us anything. After 10 minutes of sitting there wondering where the staff was I started to think that maybe the place was closing so we left. In the car I checked on my phone and saw that theyre open till 10 oclock on Sundays on their website. If the management doesnt train the staff upfront I would be afraid to see what was coming out of the kitchen.

I enjoyed my time here. Im a big Pub fan, love the food, love the vibe and usually great beer! Great Beer Cheese Soup here. Just the right amount of Beer bite! Great Bangers and Mashed. Very flavorful mashed potatoes and believe me Im picky about my mashed! Beer Selection was great! Lots and lots of craft choices. Service was decent and flowed well. Wasnt a particularly busy evening. I would definitely be back here when visiting friends in Holly.

Beyond a fabulous pub. The wonderful array of constantly changing local beers, great drinks and exceptional food make this place a must do. The chef is extremely talented! We love his unique style and his constant flow of really special creations. The bar tenders are absolutely terrific and they make you feel right at home. The entire crew is wonderful and charming. Really fun place and well worth visiting.

Very disappointed with appetizers. Worst Poutine Ive ever had ! Fries were really thin and too crispy almost burnt.Cheese curds were not melted at all, in fact they were very cold. Onions in the gravy made the whole thing taste weird. Fried pickles were breaded with cornmeal (weird)and not crispy at all. Everyone seemed satisfied with burgers and sandwiches though. Waitress was friendly and accomodating.

Wonderful place! I am a Holly resident and went here for the first time on Saturday for my husbands birthday. The service was great. Beer selection was wonderful too. Try the beer sampler...great value! The musician they had there had a beautiful voice and played a nice varitey of songs. The stuffed mushroom caps are delish! We will definitly be going back soon!

Always has delicious food and friendly service. My "go-to" is the Krampus Burger with grilled chicken, but whenever I order a special, I am just as delighted. Their cocktail menu is usually "seasonal," which is awesome, and their beer list will keep any beer drinker happy. Ive been here more times than I can count and I am never disappointed.

Really cool atmosphere, great beer selection, friendly staff and amazing food. Fries and chips fresh cut in house and you cant beat em! When i asked to sample an IPA, the bartender gave me 2 different beers to try (and I liked the second one better) thought that was awesome nobody does that! Will definitely come back.

Great beer selection with 20 on tap. The stuffed mushrooms, corned beef fritters and Irish nachos on the appetizer menu are awesome. The beer battered haddock fish & chips and the fried egg burger were also excellent. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Hurry up and check it out before everyone finds out about it!

Always great original well-made food and amazing beers selections which are always in rotation..... Megan makes wicked cocktails behind the bar and is always ready with smiles and wonderful fun-loving conversations! So if your looking for great food-drinks-people...... Blackthorn is the place!

We brought a party of 20 without reservations after a ceremony at the Great Lakes military cemetery and got handled expertly. Gary was a great server and did a great job keeping things moving along and getting us food and drinks and a timely manner. The food was impressive. We will back.

Awesome beer, wine and liquour selection. Over 90+ bottled beers!!! The food is delicious! Cornbeef & Swiss Sandwish, The Blackthorn and Steak dinners are killer. Plus the cheesecake is to die for! The staff is more then friendly and helps create a great spirits environment.

Great breakfast burger and Michigan salad definitely could expand on the menu or change the daily special menu.great beer selection hit or miss on mixed drinks friends had to send theirs back multiple times because they were watered down. Atmosphere is nice,quiet pub like..

Came here for lunch with my coworkers and had a very pleasant experience. Food was good, service was excellent, and the environment was very nice. Looks small on the outside, but quite spacious. I am anxious to return and try some more of the food options.

The kale Caesar salad is the best Ive ever had (it really is a super food, try it already). Krampus burger is currently my favorite burger in the world - fish and chips is outstanding - Reuben and stuffed mushrooms are stellar - bread pudding is amazing!

Great food and craft beer selection,great staff...fabulous for going out on the town. Only negative is how loud it gets on the busy nights! Only requests would be more irish pub music. Waiters and waitresses should be more dressed in an authintic way.

Cozy, trendy, yet casual. Not a ton of variety, but what they do, they do fantastically! Im constantly pleased with staff, service and food. The beet and goat cheese baguette is amazing, and the handcrafted cocktails are creative and delicious!

Ordered the cottage pie and there was less than two tablespoons of meat and veggies. It was covered in colcan and there were potato chunkes that were barely cooked. The service was outstanding and my husbands burger was good. But we wont be back.

First off our waitress Meg was absolutely amazing! She really knew the whole menu and had great suggestions! She made my girlfriend an amazing mix drink and my krampus burger she recommended was delicious!! We will be back very soon!

My wife and I love this place! Great food and drinks for sure. The menu is small, but that means they put more care into the things on it. I just wish they would bring back their signature french dip on rye.
