Sweeney's Irish Pub Walden Reviews
This is, for my wife and I, one of the better, more reliable places to go for food and a beer. A lot restaurants nowadays have become hit or miss with their entrees/food being sometimes good, sometimes not so good. Sweeneys is always consistent with their flavors. The lines for the taps are always clean and the Guiness is always poured the correct way. On top of all of that, their prices are very reasonable, and they haven't been following suit with other eateries raising prices because we have a lot of visitors coming up from that city south of us. This is one of a few local establishments left in our area that haven't forgotten about us locals. And we appreciate that.
Sweeneys is my happy place. I love it here. The food is great and the beer is always cold and poured right. This was my first time trying the Tuesday trivia. I got my butt kicked but it was fun lol.
New menu is great. They still have their signature original Irish dishes but the new fresh additions are awesome. The prime rib sandwich is pure perfection on its garlic bread toasted hero. Also perhaps my favorite new comer is the spring salad. Greens,craving, crisp apple and blue cheese crumbles. It comes with a balsamic reduction dressing. But I opted for the blue cheese dressing instead ( which is 🔥 fire,meaning great 👍). I also added crispy bacon 🥓 and the salmon 🐟.I loved,loved, loved the crispiness of the outside of the salmon but it's juicy center melts on your mouth and makes you long for your next salad fix. Yeah,it's that good. Tomorrow is Prime Rib Thursday so if you are a conevor like me you owe it to yourself to not settle for subpar and get your fix that will satisfy you until the next week. Love shows up,so come and show Sweeney's some love😘
Sweeney's is an Irish bar that is old school cool. This is the place to go if you want some good food (Guinness stew is delicious), awesome drinks, and amazing staff, then come to this joint in Walden, NY. It's a hometown bar with a hometown feel and is definitely worth the whiskey 🥃
Sweeneys always has been a staple of walden. You can always count on getting a good bite of food in there. I've been many times before, and I highly recommend Irish food, but today I went with a bbq burger instead. I asked for medium rare, and it was brought out cooked perfectly to it. It was a big burger, and the onion rings were also a nice portion size, cooked nice and crispy. The waitress was very attentive and was fun to talk to.
Cozy atmosphere with a definite pub feel. The music got a little loud for easy conversation, and the rock anthems took away any elegance. But maybe that's why some people like them. Food was very good. Huge fish filets and ample portions of large-cut fries. Service was friendly, but it took quite a while until we got to order, quite a while before being served, one of us was served 5-10 minutes after the rest us (with apologies and no charge), and drinks weren't refilled.
Nice neighborhood feel, friendly staff with very good food. I had the Monte Cristo sandwich and was not disappointed. Burgers were enjoy
Having been at Sweeney’s multiple times over the years, I’ve never written a review! Feels like absolutely nothing has changed in the last 15 years. The decor still feels original to the Irish pub theme. The food is still good & the drinks are always flowing. The mozzarella sticks and cottage pie will always be my go-to. Always a great time especially if DJ Erick Santana is there!
During my visit, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality, immersing myself in the inviting atmosphere. Though I only stopped by for a drink, I couldn't help but notice the tantalizing aromas wafting from the kitchen, promising a culinary experience worth returning for. While the customer service and ambiance were top-notch, I couldn't help but wish for a livelier crowd, perhaps more people my age mingling and adding to the energy of the evening. However, I acknowledge that my early evening visit on a Saturday may not have captured the full essence of Sweeney's nightlife. Overall, my experience at Sweeney's Irish Pub & Restaurant was a solid 4-star affair, marked by friendly service, an inviting atmosphere, and the promise of exceptional food. I look forward to returning to explore its full potential and see what the night has in store.
Was visiting my buddy and he wanted to grab a drink and sone food so we stopped on by this bar he was talking about. You step in and it feels very welcoming nice staff friendly people all around. The decor was nice felt like they renovated it . The food came out fast and fresh, the sandwich was excellent filled with lots of flavor and juicy to. Enjoyed my time there would recommend to anyone
The food was very good (they use less salt and pepper than most places because you're supposed to add your own to your own liking, don't worry they won't be offended it's intentional). The staff were also very attentive, polite, and professional. I'd definitely like to return and try more of the menu when I am able to do so.
Ok bartender was our waitress said kitchen didn't prep a bunch of food. No corned beef and no fish n chips. No ketchup bottle. Given packets for dine in.No hard cider but I did get a well poured Half n Half. Lights were flickering and that drove us nutz. Over all average nothing special.
When we first moved to Walden, sweeneys was our first local spot that we checked out. The owners were lovely, and wonderfully welcoming atmosphere, and great bar food. Since the ownership has changed, I can’t say our experience has stayed the same. The last few times we have visited, the food has been extremely slow, missing dishes or cold. The last time we visited with our 3 year old, we arrived to the boss explaining that the cook wasn’t there for another 10 minutes, so we waited to give our order for a bit. Totally fine, but after we gave our order to the “boss” around 4:30, we didn’t see any food until about 5:30, and it was a Luke warm grilled cheese and fries and only one dish of the three we ordered. And then we were Told that a turkey wrap we ordered was instead made with ham, since they were out of turkey, and the boss had to go to the store to get more. Additionally they were out of lettuce for a salad which they also had to go get. Luckily, our toddler got her food, and she doesn’t care about it being hot. So we waited another 10 mins for the ham wrap. And then finally around 5:45 I got my salad when we reminded the waitress about another sandwich we were waiting for. Turns out the order for that was never put in by the boss, and we didn’t see that until 6:15. After that we had to leave and overheard other customers returning cold food and canceling orders as well. The waitress was lovely and really Apologetic about everything, so I don’t fault her at all. I think she was thrown into a poorly planned situation, and left to fend for herself with the boss’s mistakes while we observed him having a drink at the bar with friends. I wish I could say this was an isolated incident, but we have had multiple similar experiences lately, along with friends reporting the same. I loved sweeneys, but don’t think I’ll be going back any time soon.
What is an Irish Pub without Irish Beer?! They were out of their three Irish beers and several food items. This was quite unusual, especially for a Saturday evening with a half full restaurant. The others in our party liked their food, but my smash burger was not smashed. It was two normal patties with hardly any sauce. Our server was the bright spot.
Food no good Flat 7 dollar beer Forgot parts of food order Didn't have meat for the sandwich so I just got cheese peppers and grease No thanks Tried it twice recently both times were not good The people that work there are nice
Went in there with a pretty good size group of people about 20 of us and we all ordered separately. My food came out and it was OK. Somebody I was with ordered food sat there for over an hour and when he went up to the bar to ask where his food was. They said oh we ran out of it, but they never told him he sat there for over an hour waiting for his food. Everyone else was served. The reviews are TRUE this place sucks.
This used to be my local go to place but our last couple of visits have changed my mind. The only good thing here is the servers. Too bad they never get to serve anything but drinks. Always out of what you want to eat and if they do have it plan for a long wait to get it. Not planning to go back anytime soon.
Extremely disappointing experience. We arrived at the restaurant at 5:30 PM for dinner and ordered a hamburger, chicken wings, and a chicken sandwich. About 20 minutes later, we were told there were no chicken wings, even though the table right next to us had just received theirs. Then, 45 minutes after ordering, we were informed that there were no hamburgers. The staff said there was nothing they could do because they couldn’t reach the owner. No alternatives, no compensation, not even an apology beyond the basic explanation. It is completely unacceptable for an Irish pub to be out of both wings and burgers on a Friday night at 5:30 PM. I’ve never experienced anything like this in a dining establishment. Seriously baffled 😳
