Good spot with good beer and good food; what more could a person ask for! Nice outdoor patio area in the summer months. When I visited there was a minor issue with the food item(s) delivered to our table and it was handled appropriately and efficiently by management and that was appreciated.
Always a good selection of beer on tap, and the kitchen is solid and reliable with everything they put out. Great neighborhood pub.
Excellent pub! has great beers, loved the burger with onion rings!
One of my favorite new places. They only Irish pub in the city. Great beer on tap and the food is awesome. Service is fantastic..
Fantastic service, great great food, very fun atmosphere...loved our servers...awesome experience!!! You guys rock!!! Thanks for all!!!
Originally had an issue with wait time. Waiting staff and management reloved issue well above expectation. Fantastic staff and food.
Always love there burgers , when in town I'm there several times to get them . Superb.
Great choices for beer, food was delicious ???? service was fantastic. Ate on the patio, nice view as well.
We can't thank Sean and his staff enough for catering our wedding, everyone went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and the food and beer they brought was exceptional!! Highly recommend visiting either location in Saint John or Quispamsis, you won't be disappointed!!
Beer and pub food, the pulled pork BLT was good, loud atmosphere. Not what I expected. Average for SJ.
Terrific drink menu, delicious food and great customer service. This is my favorite spot when I'm hanging around uptown Saint John.
Very nice, great food and service.
Nice place, good food. I had a burger and fries. The burger was awesome and the fries had a good flavor but could have been crisper. Good selection of local beer on tap.
Great, friendly service. The Shepherd's pie and Chicken & Waffles were delicious!
Service was a bit on the slower side during lunch service. Could do without parmesan cheese on the fries. Server did not know what some common drinks even were or what whiskey the bar stocked.
This is one of the beat restaurants I've ever been to. Get the Irish Poutine!
Very good meal, beer and service!!
Food was excellent with a good selection of local beer on tap. The decor is true to the location. Service was friendly and very good.
One of our fav spots when we are in the SJ area. Great food, top shelf service, excellent atmosphere and one of the best beer menus around. Highly recommended for craft beer lovers!
Very much enjoyed our time here. Was a great vibe, Guinness and cheddar dip was fabulous! Check this place out.
Really good time with everyone great food. Our 45th ANNIVERSARY today and our son's birthday last Saturday.
Great food & ambiance. The seasoned fries were amazing!
Beer was great, service was friendly, and the food hit the spot. The fish cakes eggs benedict was exceptional!
Great atmosphere and a good selection of beer. Food is great and the brunch is a must on the weekend
Nice little spot for a few drinks in downtown. Food wasn’t great though. But, super friendly staff.
My wife and I frequent this place. The food is definitely top notch. It is on the high price side for pub food but you can taste the quality. Normally we get great service here but last Friday unfortunately we had terrible service. This is why I gave only 4 stars. I am sure this is just a one off and we will be going back again soon.
Food and atmosphere were awesome!!!
I had the irish Berger and it was amazing Great staff and awesome food
Food is amazing . Definitely should give it a try if you ever visit SJ
Went back after a great experience 4 months ago. Unfortunately we didn’t have a very enjoyable experience today. After we ordered it took nearly an hour to be served our meals. It is quite frustrating to watch patrons who arrived after we did get served before ourselves. Our server seemed to be more interested in her friends on the street patio than her clients inside. Once our meal finally arrived the beer my husband ordered to have with his meal did not show up and our server never once stopped by to see how our meal was. As I said earlier the first experience was great but after today I don’t know if we will go back
Dine in
They're so very friendly there at the Cask &Kettle! The food and service are excellent. They care about their customers and want them to have a great experience every time! Thank you to MEGAN for her wonderful customer service.
Went for burger week, the Luke Skywhopper was delicious!
We went for burger week, it was our first time visiting for food. We had the UN burger and the LC burger. The LC was better, but both were good. The fries were delicious - topped with chives and parmesan. Service was okay, a little slow but to be expected during such a busy time. Our waitress did not come and check on us after our food was delivered, and it took a while to get our check. I would more realistically give this 3.5 stars. We'll chalk it all up to a busy night and give them another go.
Visited on a holiday Monday. The place was packed which is great!! Had the C & K burger and it was great! Good service, great atmosphere and good food.
Was great food, but the last 3 visits 2 out of the 3, there have been problems with the kitchen. Too bad. 13 visits this year but it's too expensive to be inconsistent. Usual bill for wife and I is between $50 and $60 before tax and tip. Expect 2 to be in range of $75 or so with tax and tip, this would be with drink each.
The specail was interesting to say the least.....I however really enjoyed my lentil burger with a beet salad. Went really well together.....look for a Rd to another visit. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere. Loved the ambience.....
The breakfast menu is exceptional! I definitely recommend the Big Tom for any eggs benedict fans.
Went there yesterday for burger week. my friend got the Jedi burger, she loved it. I got the chipotle like chicken burger. It was very good! Great service. Waitress was great. It was very loud and hard to hear each other. Hope to come back sometime!
Nice vibe. Cozy and crowded. Perfect for weekend nights. The only problem that I had once that they seated us on the table near the bathroom and the smell was awful at the entire of our visit.
Been there twice since May. Both time excellent service, food in beer... To me, the place to go for a pint in St. John!!
Fantastic food and drinks! We love it there. Costly and can be a bit loud but that hasn't stopped us from coming back over and over.
I was in Saturday night and the entire time I was there was a great experience. My server was polite, friendly and attentive. Drinks included Upstreet Brewery Black IPA's which are a delicious craft beer you must try if you have the opportunity from PEI. Cocktail of choice that night was the Dark and Stormy Isle, it is spicy yet refreshing from the hit of ginger you get with every sip. My meal was the "Irish Poutine", do yourself a favour and put this in your belly!!! Soooo good! Just when we thought our night was not going to get any better a solo performer started singing and set the mood for a great atmosphere to enjoy drinks with friends.
I loved the atmosphere, the food was decent. Liked the beer selection, service was a bit rushed. The waitress seemed to rush along, it was a bit much.
Very fair prices for what you get. Amazing food, great menu and awesome service. You can't go wrong choosing Cask & Kettle!
The salmon was delicious! And the pub fries that they make are amazing!
Most of the food is pretty good, consistent, would recommend
The feel of this place is great! Waiters/waitresses are very friendly, & food is amazing(and irish themed, of course)!
Place was great had a really good beer ???? selection and food was on point amazing ???? great job Cask & Kettle!!!
Very nice spot. Very busy but worth the wait! I got the breakfast poutine and I loved every bite! The service was also great!
Great Labour Day Sunday vibe, they make a couple solid beers here as well! The red was excellent ????
Beautiful Ambience, try Nachos awesome taste????
Great food and music tonight! We need more of this in our lives!
Friendly staff, limited menu - but the food is great and the portion size is large enough ???? that you feel like you received your money's!
Excellent food, excellent service, and great drinks.
Great dinning experience, super tasty food
My friends and I met here for dinner the other night. I did not pick this restaurant & unfortunately there was not one single item on the menu for those of us who do not eat dairy. I still went to meet up with my friends and make the best of it. I ordered the beyond meat burger without cheese, and fries without cheese as did my girlfriend. Both of our orders came with cheese on the fries, and the burger had melted cheese around the edges, but it looked like the kitchen staff peeled off the cheese from the top before serving and hoped we would not notice. This is not okay considering many people are allergic to dairy. The service was awesome, and the waitress was very nice and excluded out items from the bill. It's just a shame there is no diversity in the menu for those who have restricted diets and allergies & the kitchen staff doesnt seem very trustworthy if you were to ask for modified menu items.
Great food, but staff failed to sanitize food and drink menus. One waitress took the beer menu from our table and simply gave it to another patron despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ordered takeout, it was ready in less than a half hour, everything was hot and delicious! Nachos were definitely a standout!
Nice atmosphere. Good food. Good size portions. Good mix of local and regional beer on tap.
Delicious burger and chicken tacos. I also enjoy the rosemary and parmesan fries.
Great food, great service and easy parking to get there.
Had the burger and fries. It might be the best burger I have ever has. Definitely a contender. The Baileys cheesecake dessert was amazing as well. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire meal and our waitress was very friendly and attentive as well.
Great vibe. Great service. Great local drinks
Probably the best craft beer selection in Saint John and serves great food as well. Menu can change but the poke burger was pretty good.
Good size portions, unique menu and beverage selection. Good service staff. A little more expensive but considering the size of the meal you should leave happy and stuffed. Nice to see more than just burgers and fries.
Excellent food and awesome atmosphere! Will defiantly be back. Absolutely the best wings I have had in years and the beer battered fish was stellar. Also tried the Guinness cheese dip and it blew my mind! My Wife Loved the fish tacos.
Amazing food, fantastic atmosphere, very friendly servers
Walked into this place and was instantly greeted with a smile. Ordered one of the draft beers on tap and curry fries with a Ruben. The crowds were great and would love to have them again, The sandwich was perfect size. This was a great spot for a quick beer and lunch as you walk the streets of Saint John.
Staff is friendly, service and food were both phenomenal. The price was reasonable considering all the fresh and local ingredients, definitely worth it.
We were quite satisfied and would genuinely recommend it as a Saint John must try like Decimal 81 or Java Moose. Food was extremely well prepared. Scallops were perfect and that is rare so thank you. 5$ ceasars were awesome. We were able to sit on the balcony on the warm summers night and I hope you are fortunate enough to be able to enjoy this cool little spot. Portions are a bit small for the price but it was a really nice experience. 2 adults dined with 2 Cesar's and soft drink for just under $80.
We have not had food, only beers, which were not exceptional. They lacked deep taste and flavour a bit. However, hostess were nice and friendly.
I came here with a friend and we were promptly seated despite lunch hour and 3 cruise ships in port (so it was very busy) We both had the fish and chips which were very very good. Not excessively battered and the fries were perfect. Washroom was clean. Price was reasonable. I would definitely return.
great staff and food was awesome. The atmosphere is really cool as well.
I'm not sure if it's Covid pricing, but I found things expensive. Atmosphere was nice, menus items were innovative, wait staff was good.
This is a place for fun. Great vibe, great drinks menu and great staff. Well worth a stop in and check it out.
Great middle table for large groups. Classic feel and good beer. Foods a little pricey
Place is great, definitely recommend it
Nice pub. Great service and the steaks were top of the line but a bit pricey.
Good times, good food with good friends at a fair price.
Atmosphere very nice. Our server was great. The food however was terrible. Everything was way beyond too salty and very greasy. Had to send back nachos as they were made with potato chips instead. The food was less than average. I was excited for fish tacos but underwhelming.
Great place to have a beer & lunch while watching the world cup. Friendly staff and enthusiastic fans in attendance. Food was good too. Can get pricey, but you get a quality meal.
Cask and Kettle is my favorite place to grab a beer & a bite. High quality pub food that never disappoints. The Irish L.C Burger and their seasonal cheesecake is a drool worthy combo.
Yummy food, great spot! Loved the outdoor patio!
The quality and creativity of the pub food has risen to the level of its price. This has become a mainstay lunch spot for my partner and I!
Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Little loud slow, but was busy so benefit of the doubt. Definitely recommend
Our server was incredible. This place has a great patio to hang out in the fog and an extensive beer list celebrating local micro. They even have some casks available, but they should be careful to indicate which ones are cask. The food needs a bit more focus, we had the cod cakes and one barely had any fish while the other was way too salty and filled with all the cod that was missing from the first. Kind of reminded me of bacalhau in need of more soaking and rinsing.
Awesome food, great drinks and excellent staff!!!
So many good things to eat! Not your usual pub fare. A great selection of beer on tap as well
I just had the worst chicken and waffles I’ve ever had, the chicken was way too salty and burnt; the only reason we didn’t return it was because we had to wait around 30 minutes to have food at our table. I expressed my discontent with the food, and the waitress clearly did not care. My advice is, go spend your money where they will value your business and at least try to give you good service.
Great food great price Great service 100% all around
Really good food. Actually it's unreal good. The prices are just a little too expensive..
Was there once for a drink and appetizer with friends. The woman that served us was super kind and had no problem answering questions about all the local (NB) sourced drinks.
Awesome spot in the heart of Uptown Saint John with made from scratch menu and sweet beer selection. Perfection location in the centre of all the action.
Delicious food, great atmosphere and very friendly service.
Fabulous food and ambiance! Live music...made you feel the Maritimes. Well worth every penny. Try the Sheppard's pie OMG!
This is a nice spot for pub grub, their specials are usually quite reasonable too!
The waitress, sorry I didn't get her name, long dirty blonde hair was fantastic. We ordered the wings and weren't aware of what blue cheese tastes like. In our opinion, not good but the wings were excellent, the deep fried pickles were as well. Definitely going to eat there again as the variety of local and domestic beer were a great selection as well.
One of the few places in Uptown Saint John to have breakfast and it is AWESOME. The service is great and the patio very comfortable ????
Great food fast service love the atmosphere
Just grabbing some lunch which is delicious BBQ pulled pork sandwich with fries ????????
Good choice of drinks and nice ambience. Did not tried the food yet so no comments on that..
Regular burger is a bit dry so ask for some sauce but fries and pickly chips are super good. Super friendly servers as well. Service and beer make the place.
Good food and big selection of beers on tap. Food prices are about average and the service is decent. 4⭐
Great food, excellent service. Our servers Heather went over and above to make our experience memorable!
First time at "Cask & Kettle!! Amazing!! I only have a few fav's restaurants and this is definitely one of them!! Covid protocol is followed and the staff do a great job. Thank you for the delicious food!!!!!
The Cask and Kettle is the best restaurant I have visited in uptown Saint John. The staff are pleasant and energetic. The owners are extremely nice and involved and the food is exceptional.
Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Amazing food. 5 stars!
Love the food and the atmosphere. We eat as a group there every other Saturday.
This was a fun stop during our visit to Saint John, with a great vibe, good serving staff and excellent food. It was however, the slowest service we received during our visit. Easily a 5 star place if they can get things sorted so that food comes out in under 45 minutes when they're busy.
The Beast was a delicious take on eggs Benny/ chicken and waffles definitely recommend prompt and friendly service!
5 stars MIGHT be a stretch, but anything that wasn't perfect was immediately erased when we got the Irish poutine. Awwww yissss...
We came to listen to the music. Wonderful! Got there early enough to have a meal. I ordered the cod and chips. I will never order the chips again. I felt I got a bunch of tail ends. Very small and greasy.
The pickle chips here are to die for! The other food is good too, but you need these in your life!
Good beer selection, generous portions (massive nachos!), picturesque spot, nice live music on the evening we went????
We were looking for a place that served wings and beer and this was it! There wasn't much of a wait and the wings were delicious and the beer was cold. ????
Great food and drinks. I love the atmosphere!
Amazing staff, phenomenonal food. Vegetarian friendly. What an awesome experience! Order a whiskey sour (it's made the right way here!!!)
A great rotating maritime craft beer menu . Best weekend breakfast brunch in town . Consistently good food and service
Place has great food ,awesome staff and good craft beer. Gotta check it out
Lunch
Wonderful food and atmosphere! Surprise run in with a lovely friend made for a perfect night on the patio.
I had a great experiance here. After reviewing photos of the food on Google I walked to this place from my hotel and it did not disappoint! The Irish Poutine was delicious! There also seemed to be a good selection of local and Irish beer. I had a pumpkin ale from Hampton and it was delicious and came with a sugar and spice rim! Delish! Service was friendly and fast. There was also some great live Irish music just starting as I was leaving. Looks like they had a great patio too!
We sat on the deck out front which was lovely. We ordered the cucumber mint gimlets which were refreshing and perfectly mixed. Followed up with a veggie burger accompanied by a side of onion rings -- over the top gourmet! Also had the veggie curry which was excellent -- perfectly balanced and seasoned. Our waitress was wonderful and pleasant. Would definitely recommend!
Stop by here today passing thru Saint John as I've heard it was really good , for us the experience wasn't so good, the server completely ignored us and left us sitting for over half hr with no drinks or taking our order so we left and went to Pub Down Under and have to say I'm glad I got horrible service here cuz wow the food and service I got at The Pub Down was Amazing , can't say anything about the food here as we didn't get to try it , just a terrible server we had ????♀️
Very enjoyable experience, great location.
My husband and I stopped for brunch yesterday. The food was exceptional! Well worth the wait. And we quite enjoyed the ambiance as well.
Wow! First time there and what wonderful service. Food was great and the selection of drinks was top notch!
Generally great food and staff. Also probably the best breakfast sandwiches you will have
Love this place! Great little Irish pub. Great selection of craft beers, staff was friendly. Brunch was also delicious!
This restaurant has excellent food, and fast and friendly service. They have a good selection of beer on tap and the bartender explained that they rotate the kegs out so the selection of beer changes frequently. Very cool idea! The atmosphere is welcoming and the layout of the place is interesting. A great experience!
Pretty great spot, decent breakfast for $10. The rosemary hash browns are a little dry, but tasty.
Great beer, food, and service
Great food and great service.
Great burgers and awesome ambiance!! We had a ball on a cold Thursday night, there was a group of excellent live musicians that just warmed our hearts. The Parmesan & Rosemary fries are awesome and the beer selection is great. No other joint was that lively around!
Great beer selection, friendly staff, and the best vegetarian burger I have ever had. A must try.
Always delicious for both brunch and evening dining. The servers are always top notch, very pleasant as well as attentive. Even with covid the operation of the establishment is great, everything is sanitized, constantly wiped down and all severs are marked up. Prices are a little high but to be expected for that location. Definitely recommend if your looking for a great local eatery.
We went for lunch today and really enjoyed it. The staff were friendly, the food was fast and most important, it was delicious! Definitely would recommend if you are coming into Saint john.
The fish tacos gave me a religious experience. Amazing. And my server (Chelsey) was super nice! Go here. Do it
Vibrant place, great food, excellent service!
Our favorite family pub! Everyone has their favorites and leaves so happy!
We really enjoyed our lunch at the Cask and Kettle yesterday. When one of you gets the fish tacos and the other gets the chicken tacos ... you each get the best of both worlds!!! I have to say the flavours in these tacos were amazing and the side of parmesan rosemary fries were awesome!!! ???? The atmosphere was very relaxing and the service was great!!! We will definitely go back.
Fish and chips was delicious. Only issue is that supposed to be dilly tartar sauce, very bland tasting. Couldn't even taste dill. Parmesan fries were very good!
Loved the cod cakes!
Very good service. Great food and relaxing atmosphere. Next visit to the east coast i will defiantly have a meal there.
We stopped here for brunch after a night of drinking and it was very good! Greg our server was exceptional, 5$ irish coffees were warm on a brisk morning on there outdoor deck since we had our dog with us. Food was quick and delicious! Will certainly return. Highly recommend!
One of the best burgers I had in a long time
It's a pub. Don't expect fine dining. Pricing is really good. Staff is very friendly. Great pub.
Awesome food and atmosphere. Authentic Irish Pub style. One of the best places uptown to get a good meal.
Awesome food and beer selection. Great atmosphere and good service.
Service was great and the food was fantastic!
4 of us had a much needed evening out. I would suggest making reservations, it's a very busy spot. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. I had the cod and chips. The chips have rosemary and parmesan, the cole slaw had a zing to it. The dill tartar sauce was the perfect complement to the beer battered fish.
Nice location, food is only OK - typical pub stuff, not all that well prepared to be honest. Not exactly great value either, considering the food quality.
Great band and tasty fare! Our waitress was top notch! Thanks again!
This place served us the best food we've tried in Saint John so far. The rosemary & parm fries are crazy delicious. The menu has so many great choices. The Luke Skywhopper burger description is adorably funny and the burger itself is truly worthy of being a Jedi.
Love the food, the music and the overall atmosphere. I try to make time to go whenever I am in town and am never disappointed!
Good food/atmosphere
Delicious food. Great prices. Wonderful staff
Amazing food and amazing service. Definitely recommend this uptown gem!!
Great food. Great atmosphere and excellent service.
Probably one of the best restaurants in the city. Great food and service.
Amazing food, amazing service. Try the shepherd's pie poutine. It's amazing, and real lamb!
Great portion sizes, decent tasting food, but the prices need to be about 20-30% lower. That and I would love to be able to make a reservation to eat here, but that option is not available.
Wings and beer specials on Monday! Nice service
My buddy Neil took me here a few times over my trip. Food was on point, tasted amazing, felt like everything was homemade and not pepacked garbage like I'm used to. Definitely a great place to eat and have a few beer.
Service was excellant and the meal was a very delight during Burger Week 2021.
Daily Specials are unique and tasty. Friendly knowledgeable service good food, great suds.
Awesome food, friendly staff and good selection on beverages.
Ever rotating beer menu, great atmosphere, but you definitely pay top dollar for it. Not a bad spot for a one-in-a-while treat.
Went with my 11yr old grandson and he had kids burger and chips and i had the fish with fries and for dessert we split the cheesecake. Everything was fantastic including the server.
The portions are big, the food is delicious and the prices very decent! Plus, the employees are very nice!
Amazing staff. Excellent food. We had such a great Christmas party. 110% recommend
During COVID the staff were so welcoming and accommodating. They were working hard to give everyone a good time. Great atmosphere. I had a flight of beer, so good! Great flight price on Wednesday ($7!)
Overpriced food that's not that good anyways and bad messy service. I think our waitress was high or she just didn't give a damn. The drinks were good
Great service and great food. Had the Chop Chop menu and was pleasantly surprised by the portion size and flavor.
So good!!! Love the rosemary potatoes.
Food was delicious. it's super loud in there, cant hear your conversation you need to almost yell, not ment for a date night.
Great food and excellent environment. Would definitely recommend. Server was very friendly, but service was slow (they were busy).
Great atmosphere. Amazing selection of beer on tap and many local beer options. Food is delicious and service is great!
This experience goes to show you the difference proper staffing makes. Morgan was not in over her head and we experienced very timely service all evening. Meal breakdown: Deep fried pickles - really nice chip size, coated well, and fried GBD. Deep fried chicken bites - beautifully battered and fried brilliantly. Reuben - all the great flavours you expect from a Reuben, and crafted very well with tight sandwich construction — can’t stand messy sandwiches. Irish poutine - bring your stretchy pants for this one. What a delightfully rich dish. If a poutine and the best Shepard’s you’ve ever had made a baby, this would be it.
Great food (vegetarian options avail), great atmosphere, great service. Highly recommend!
Great spot for epic eats and drinks!
Amazing atmosphere. Very helpful and friendly staff. This quaint pub throws a twist on your typical pub food. Make sure you try the poutine and the tacos. The fries as side are to die for also. Great craft beer selection. Yum yum. Enjoy.
Meal type
Excellent steak and eggs. Tastiest steak I've had out in a long time. Truly done well because it was not well done. :)
Been to the Cask and Kettle many times. Never been disappointed. Actually leave feeling full; sometimes bloated if you get into their extensive beer selection
My daughter's swim team had a team supper here. Not one complaint from the kids on the team. My meal was delicious and the staff were super friendly and fast.
Great spot. Live music was fun. Traditional Celtic.
Friendly & informative staff. Great Craft beer selection on tap. Food is tasty and very consistent. Portion sizes vs value is A+. My favorites are the LC burger, the Irish poutine(Sheppard's pie poutine) and their wings, boneless or regular they are always amazing.
Great food, cold beer, amazing staff
Great pub-style burger, and atmosphere.
The service was excellent. I had the fish and chips and they were subpar. I was disappointed in the meal.
Staff is always professional and approachable, love the food, love the ambiance, not a bad place for a sports night.
Awesome food, great service
Very good food, extremely friendly wait staff!
Cod cakes are to die for!! Also great service from Crystal ✨
My daughter and I decided to try out this local favorite while we were passing through, what a great decision it was. I had the 8oz sirloin it was cooked to perfection and garnished with delicious fresh vegetables and garlic mashed potatoes. Salt and pepper is all you need on a good steak and these guys hit the nail on the head My daughter had the beer battered fish and chips, for a small girl she cleaned her plate and asked for seconds. We will absolutely be eating here again. I love to see a small business get it right. Thanks again for the amazing steak and welcoming service.
Best waitress Great whiskey sours And nachos are the best
This is my second visit and probably my last unless I'm coming just for drinks. They call themselves a gastro pub but it's a far stretch from what you'd normally see in a gastro pub. I got the chicken tacos and the chicken was great however the coleslaw, pickled red onions, and pickles were all from a jar/bucket. For the price, i would've expected at least a portion of those to be made with fresh ingredients... I'm disappointed. I just ate the chicken and left the rest. The server noticed but didn't comment on it, just asked if we wanted the bill and we said yes. My husband had the Irish poutine which sounds amazing on the menu but in reality is so so overpowered by sage that you can't really taste anything after a couple bites, just sage. We probably won't be back; we were here when it first opened and had a very similar experience so their quality hasn't improved.
Ordered my taco without onions and came with onions. My husband ordered a burger and it wasn’t cooked, even after returning it to the kitchen. Drinks were great but couldn’t eat the burger. Waitress argued with us that burgers were supposed to be cooked medium with pink in the center. Won’t be back.
Went for brunch. Love the setting for the evenings but the Irish music was a little too much and slightly loud for me at that time. Potatoes were dry. Good service. I ll choose something else and a different seat next time
Went for Chop Chop and it was very good.
Both facilities fantastic service food
Excellent customer service, very good food and craft beer on site.
Fish and chips were great. Pulled pork sandwich was atrocious. Almost no pork but tons of carmalized onions Which made for a slimy, overpowering, mess. It was probably 75% onion.
Great food and very reasonable prices i would recommend having lunch any day there.
Best deck in the Uptown scene. Food is elevated gastropub fare and very good. Live music, competent, friendly staff and busy, happening atmosphere. Usually crowded and buzzing. Great breakfasts!
Great food.Service was good.Parking was a bit of a challenge.
The atmosphere was quite nice, at the time I was there a group of musicians were in and the place was very lively. The booths had plexiglass seperating a few of them, and they had us leave our info ????. Although the food was a bit expensive it was quite good they also had a good selection of drinks.
Fish was awesome! So was the Irish coffee and caesar! Great service and casual atmosphere.
Delicious!
Excellent atmosphere. Great service. Their Shepherds Pie is out of this world amazing! Can’t wait to go back.
Great pub grub and good selection of local beer. Reasonably priced. Outdoor patio is nice as well.
My fish tacos were terrific but my husband's Reuben was not as he would've expected. There was very little sauerkraut or Swiss cheese. Usually Ruebens are not served with tomatoes, lettuce and pickles. The waiter was excellent. The beer was very good.
Sean and staff have a great place here. Food is amazing. They also serve local craft brews and have live entertainment.
Friendly staff, good beer, atmosphere, and food. Really what more do you want?!
Amazing staff...great food!! Will go again and again!!!
Easy 5+ stars. This place was nothing short of awesome. Came here for lunch on a Tuesday while our cruise was docked in St Johns, and it was our favorite St. John experience by far. My family is from all over. New York, Seattle, Alaska, Georgia; we were all very pleased. The service was spectacular and very friendly. The Irish poutine with the deep fried curds... PLEASE SIR MAY I HAVE SOME MORE!!! And of course, the beers we had were delicious and nutritious. From lagers, to reds, to my moms whiskey sour; we loved it.
Amazing Reuben and fries! Great patio outside with nice ambiance and lighting, I bet it looks amazing at night.
Food was excellent, service was excellent. Highly recommended!
Great good and drinks, and atmosphere.
Overall, good experience. My husband loved his salmon and beer. I got the maple bacon and pulled pork sandwich. I thought it could use more flavour. The French fries were good though.
Great spot with nice patio. Interesting canadian take on traditional Irish meals and drinks. Usually pretty busy in the summer, so you want to make sure you have plenty of time to enjoy.
Went here for dinner. Best Radler I have ever had. Drink menu had a lot of great options. I got the cod and chips and it was delicious. Couldn't love this place more. Our waitress was amazing and the atmosphere was awesome.
Good service. Great brunch. Good coffee. Would recommend breakfast sandwich and corn beef hash.
Always great service . Delicious foods. Cold brews. What more could you ask for?!
Great place to eat and drink. Have never had a bad meal here. I feel like i could throw a dart at the menu and enjoy whatever came out. Highly recommend.
Excellent food with healthy choices, not just pub food. Amazing ambience and character. The service was great as well⭐
Good food. Sweet Server. We ate outside and lovely setup.
Don't get out to eat often anymore but glad it was here, excellent food and service.
Great food, drinks and service! A true gem of St. John... The Chowda is really good!
My boyfriend lost his wallet here, and Mike the owner literally walked it himself over to the Imperial to reunite it with us. Ten stars just for that. Also, delightfully curated Maritime beer selection and lovely bar staff.
A little on the pricey side but the food, staff and beer selection are way above bar. Love this spot.
The Cask has become my livingroom. Uptown life is great, but you have to get out to make it worthwhile. People go to the Cask because they get atmosphere galore and creative dishes prepared with care.
Excellent food, great service and an awesome community table in the center for people to bond and eat; but I still think that nearly thirty bucks for two tacos and a beer is quite expensive for casual dining.
Love their Irish decor and the food is to die for....well maybe to live for would be a more appropriate phrase
Very nice pub in a great location. Older section of St Johns With lots of vintage bldgs. Nice outside dining deck on street. Interior dining is classic pub space. Fish cakes are very good. Pulled pork grilled cheese and pulled chick club very well done. Several nice variations of classic pub food to liven up the menu. Food is a bit pricy but very tasty. Parm rosemary fries highly recommended. Well worth the stop for a brew and at least an appetizer.
Amazing food, great and courteous service.
Excellent service and fantastic food. ????
Great food. Great service. Wonderful atmosphere
Good food, good service. I recommend it to anyone wanting good food and drink options.
The staff and atmosphere at C&K are amazing, I had the Fish Tacos and my partner had the Irish Nachos and both were delicious. For drinks, I had a blond ale, that was more like an Amber based on the recommendation from our server, in the end, there was not a drop to be found.
We've been a few times now, it's dinnertime our favourite so far. Lovely atmosphere and the staff are friendly and welcoming.
I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. I had potato leek soup and the grilled pulled pork and cheddar sandwich.
Great food...small portions for price. Excellent service
Really love this place, the food is great and the service is amazing! You have to have the fries...
Service is awesome, food is great, nice selection of food and drinks
Excellent tap beer menu full of many craft choices. There breakfast is amazing. The chicken and waffles or omelette and waffles are a must have. Great live entertainment on certain nights also.
We had the LC burger and Irish poutine(battered cheese curds…how can you go wrong?!)and they were both fabulous! Carly was our waitress and she was really friendly, fast and attentive. She was helpful and even helped me pick out a beer/cider. I am a big fan of poutine and I think this is my new favourite???? Will definitely be back!
It was ok expect for dirty menus Couldn't tell you the waitress name as she didn't tell us but she did happen tomention that they don't use fake fish like grannans. Now I know nothing about this, except ive not ever experienced fake fish at grannans.but you shouldn't be bashing another restaurant based on what others have said to you apparently her friend whousedtoworkthere said this to her. The uptown is not large enough for that type of bs. I won't be bac simply based on the waitress nor will I ever recommend it
Great service! Waitress checked on us frequently. Great food! It was a very fun atmosphere. I will definitely go back.
Service friendly, seating was plentiful, restaurant was warrm and finally breakfast was great. I has a steak and eggs and it was done right and a very good cut.
Poached eggs and avocado rye toast was savory melting haven. The classic brunch was also very good.
Went for our first visit to Cask & Kettle on Father's day for brunch and the food was excellent!! They also offer kids menu which was also great! We will definitely be back...so many different breakfast options that we all want to try out.
Service
First time there and had a great server who was really busy but looked after us well! Cod fish & chips were absolutely delicious and their English bitter on tap was very satisfying!
This place always has an inviting neighbourhood pub feel with an incredible food menu. Not just another Irish bar. Definitely worth the trip. PS, the whiskey chicken is incredible.
Fish and chips were made with cod and were very tasty. Fries were tossed with sea salt and fresh rosemary, so good.
Great place to get food and drinks
First time going there experience was excellent. Our waitress was soo great and friendly. Got the fish taco and ceaser salad. Soo good.
The service and food were great. Wonderful atmospher. Nice and busy for a random Tuesday night too, which was a pleasant surprise.
Very good food, great choices in the menu for everyone including kids.
This place is awesome. The veggie burger was one of the best I wver had. My mom had the fish and chips. Shed loved it. Great beer selection and sweet patio. A saint john must .
It was a good time. Server started out strong. But after delivering the first round didn't come back for our food order for nearly 15 minutes. Bar was very busy so that could have attributed to that.
We had a reservation for 9 and we were there 10 mins prior. We were only seated 25 minutes after we arrived. The food was really good but the beer selection and service were poor.
The service was good, food was ok. A lot of options for beer.
IPA beers were fine, but didn't impress, rather lacked in some ways.
Clean and modern decor, not your average bar food. Had the grilled pork chop special, a lot of food for the price and pretty good taste too.
It was amazing my son and his girlfriend took me and we loved it all excellent service fast and efficient and hot. Will be back again ????
Had an appetizer and beer after hop on/hop off tour of the city.
Great atmosphere, food, and local beer selection!
I would eat there 100 more times to try everything on their menu really loved the food
They do have amazing nachos
A great pub. Great food and atmosphere. I ordered the Irish L.C. burger and it was delicious. The fries were well seasoned and the service was spot on.
Good pub-style food, friendly servers and a great selection of beers on tap.
Great place full of Irish culture through the menus and the decor !! The brunch menu is fantastic with options of something heavy and light for everyone looking for a bite. And they have the best Irish Ceasar in town !!
Good coffee and brunch menu. Good food and staff. Nice setting to enjoy a coffee.
Great pub food, friendly staff and a cozy spot. Some great selections. We tried the Irish poutine (which has a Sheppard's pie filling (with lamb)) and also the breakfast poutine. Both were very yummy. Wait time was great and we will be be back.
Wonderful food and service! We must return next summer (during vacation)!
I had the most delicious fish tacos I've ever had in my life. The maple salad on the side was amazing. My husband loved his burger and fries. Service was great, restaurant was clean and cozy, great atmosphere. We will be returning soon.
Great Irish pub, fantastic service, good coffee, enjoyed a delicious Reuben sandwich. Conveniently located uptown.
First time I'm going to complian about this place. The like skywhoper was very bland. The burger had no flavor at all. They forgot our deep-fried Reese. And when we went back and got it. Didn't realize till we left. They have us the wrong one again. Horrible experience.
Great atmosphere. Food and drinks were fantastic.
Great beer selection, the L.C burger will blow you away...
Very good selection of beer. Food was Ok. Would go again
Great chicken wings! Cheese and meat board was good too
Great service and delicious food. It was a wonderful atmosphere to meet a couple of friends. It was also nice hearing somewhere so vibrant with people while still being able to stay physically distant from one another. I had the chocolate buttermilk waffles. So much chocolate and maple syrup and a perfectly fluffy on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside waffle.
We booked the Cask & Kettle for the drinks & dancing portion of our wedding in August, and the C&K staff went above and beyond to make our night incredible. They took care of every single detail – they created a signature cocktail for the evening, they took care of the playlist all night, the kitchen staff made late night snacks, including garlic fingers and donair sauce which wowed our out-of-town guests, and every single staff member was so friendly and enthusiastic – they were having fun with us all night. The owner, Shawn, was great to work with in the months leading up to the event, and came by to check in on everything the night of. Our guests absolutely loved coming here at the end of the night – the patio was set up with patio lights so everyone got to enjoy the beautiful evening. This was the perfect way to celebrate our wedding. We couldn’t resist coming back for brunch the next day! Thank you C&K – we had a blast!
What an incredible experience at Cask and Kettle. We will definitely be back. Food was absolutely delicious and the waitress was amazing. Wings and dill chips are so good!
The food is a bit high priced. Having said that it is amazing food. Lots of frequently changing beers on tap and live entertainment every Thursday night. Atmosphere is great, pub-like with class. One of my top 5 places to go in Saint John.
We just finished eating here. It was our first visit and we'll definitely go back. Husband had fish tacos. They were a bit sloppy but very good. I had the chicken burger and rosemary fries. Delicious. We were so full that we couldn't have dessert. Drinks I had the Gord Downie very tasty. Husband had pale ale. Our waitress was very nice and friendly.
We have been traveling for 12 days and this is by far the best meal we have had. We ordered a beer and a caesar (made with whiskey and guiness ????) chicken bites with buffalo caesar sauce, fish tacos, fish and chips and Baileys coffee cake. Everything was so flavorful and delicious, right down to the gravy and coleslaw. Would recommend to anyone. Our server was also fantastic.
Great small place that was open on remembrance day. Food was pretty good! Amazing fries!!
Service was slow. Food was great, although a bit pricey for burger and chips.
Buttered chicken bites were very good.
This place is great, live music every Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Great beer selection, a lot of local craft stuff and old favorites. Their fish and chips are excellent, and their burgers are equally as good!
Great Wings and Seafood Chowder...atmosphere and service were top notch as well!
The food was great and the people were amazingly nice! We had three different tables of people ask us where we were from and then put forth a great argument on why Saint John NB is the ideal place to live. Wonderful time overall!
Great food and good selection of drinks. 10/10 would recommend.
Friendly staff, great service! The fish and chips, fish tacos and cheeseburger were amazing!
Oustanding food, great atmosphere and amazing staff. Great for date night, brunch with your kid, night out with the boys.
The food is tasty but the service is slow and it is a little over priced for the portions they offer. With the addition of the Gahan House up the street C&K will have some serious competition.
This has always been a go to for me, amazing food, fantastic staff and overall great atmosphere, and last night they managed to impress me even further!!! The bartender at the uptown location is out of this world, I had the best martini in my life last night, and I am very picky about my martinis!!! Watching him make it was almost as satisfying as drinking it!!! I can honestly say this place is top notch across the board!!!
This is a hard rating for me as it is one of my favorite places for food and beer (in the top 3 best veggie burgers in town in my books!). If you had asked me a few months ago, I would have given at least 5 stars. Live entertainment is hit or miss sometimes really good, sometimes they would have been better off with the radio. This is not the reason for my 3 star rating though. One evening around 10pm, I came in with a few friends from out of town to show them one of my favorite spots and to have a few drinks (there were 5 of us). It was pretty quiet, only a few people there and one server by the look of. He came over asked if we were ready and we said that we just started to look at the menu and asked for a few minutes. He agreed and said he would be back. Myself and a friend went to the washroom right after as we only had 1 menu and the 3 others on the other side of the table were viewing. We returned to the table a few mins later and were able to look at the menu to pick a beer. He comes over the 2nd time (about 5-10 mins have passed at this point) and asked if we were ready. He seemed like he was in a hurry to get our order either because he preferred to speak with his friends at the bar or because he wanted to get off work (that didnt appear to be happeneing anytime soon due to business hours and beacuse other people were still there). Anyway, he asked if we were ready and I replied "sorry, we just got to look at the menu now, can we have just another couple mins?". He replied "ok, ill come back in (he paused) about a half hour then" with a condescending smile and turned around and walked back to the bar. At that moment I advised my friends that we were not staying and would go somewhere else that wanted our business and wouldnt be rude. There are other choices and it wasnt worth staying with someone who would act like this. That is my rant and reason for the 3 stars versus 4 or 5. That said, I have been back after this instance purely for the food but I used to visit at least once every 1-2 weeks. My frequency is much less now, maybe once every 2 months as a result of this incident. If you are wondering, the rude server is still there. Luckily, I have not had him as my server as of late!
Gray foods, amazing service. Only downside to this place is one of the stalls in the ladies washroom is addison's tiny it's silly. Cam barely move around to do up my pants....
Proper Irish coffee on a cold night. Perfect.
Went for flights and bites, and the food was so awesome!! The mac and cheese bites were nostalgically delicious lol the chicken bites were even better! All the drinks were amazing too! Highly recommend!!
Everyone at the table had something different from the menu and everyone enjoyed it. The staff was great. The atmosphere is perfect. Totally recommend it.
The beer and food were great. We arrived without a reservation and they were able to get seated in a short while. Worth the wait.
Great little outdoor seating area, above average pub fare and interesting selection of local brews on tap.
