Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
Guilfoil's Irish Pub runs a beverage program built around volume and accessibility. The beer side is the strongest: a draft list with Blue Light, Blue Moon, Budweiser, Founders IPA, Mango Cart, and Yuengling, plus packaged options from Bud and Coors Light to Fiddlehead, Flower Power, Ommegang Nirvana, and Southern Tier 2x IPA. Guinness pints are $5 all day. Cocktails lean frozen and brunch-friendly, with a Frozen Irish Coffee, Strawberry Watermelon, mimosas, and Bloody Marys.
- What should I order?
- Start with a $5 Guinness pint, the daily all-day special, or go to the draft list for Founders IPA or Mango Cart. If you want something frozen, the Frozen Irish Coffee is made with dairy and coconut milk, and the Wine Slushie uses Yellowtail Riesling. Domestic drafts run $2.50, with Bud and Bud Light drafts at $2.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Groups looking for a broad, inexpensive beer list with both domestic staples and regional craft options. Anyone who wants frozen drinks or brunch cocktails at low prices. People who need non-alcoholic beer or THC beverages will find more here than at most pubs.
- When should I go?
- Weekday happy hour brings well mixers at $2.50, while weekend brunch is when mimosas and Bloody Marys at $3.50 are on offer. The $5 Guinness pint special runs all day, every day, so it is not tied to a particular window.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Drinks are inexpensive across the board. Well mixers are $2.50, mimosas and Bloody Marys are $3.50, Bud and Bud Light drafts are $2, domestic cans and drafts are $2.50, and Guinness pints are $5 on the daily all-day special.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The beer list is unusually deep for a pub, running from Bud Light Platinum and Keystone to Fiddlehead, Flower Power, Hazy Little Thing IPA, Lagunitas, Ommegang Nirvana, Shrouded Summit, and Utica Club. The non-alcoholic section is also broader than typical, with five NA beers and six THC beverages. A frozen Wine Slushie made with Yellowtail Riesling sits alongside the standard wine list.
