OMG! What a find! Friendly help and the owner put the Big 10 final game on for us. It was a perfect St Paddy's Day...cold Smithwicks, b-ball, live music, good food (not standard bar food), and then a bonus...an Irish Dance Troupe! It will be a stop when we drive from IL to MA again!

We went here for lunch. The food was delicious all around and everything we tried. Had the black & blue, the patty melt, shepherds pie, chilli and mozrella sticks. Each item was 10/10. I also felt the food quality was great. Despite eating an entire burger with fries, I feel super light and not stuffed. Portion sizes were good as well. Would recommend and will be coming back for more.

Great atmosphere. Visiting from out of town. We went for lunch, felt like a neighborhood place, and we were welcomed and treated really well. Bartender was clearly working super hard to take care of everyone. Guinness was perfect. Good was delicious. All 3 of us loved it! Highly recommend!

For Fish Fry Friday we found the perfect place in Utica. The Celtic Harp is more than just a fun pub...it has amazing food. The fish and chips had just the right amount of breading and the burger my son had was juicy and he loved it. There was also live music that added to the experience....we wandered into a great place.

Dined there for lunch, food and drinks were great, service a bit slow but they were quite busy. My half/half (Guinness/Harp was poured to perfection) and really enjoyed the fish fry. Looking forward to our next visit there with friends!

I’ve had it with this place. I understand when you’re closing early. But telling someone on their birthday “You don’t care whose birthday it is… when I get home it’s my birthday too.”I’ve had it. Won’t be there tomorrow and the business I was bringing won’t be either. DISAPPOINTED IS NOT THE WORD. I eat here for lunch, I enjoy dancing with my friends. This behavior and the way staff act is not professional. I swear I’m gonna start recording them.

The food and the service was great . Unfortunately we picked a night when they were hosting a company Christmas party upstairs so it was extremely loud in there . Couldn’t even talk to my husband because we couldn’t hear each other. I would definitely go back another time when it might be a bit

Vegan option! Couldn't believe it! I got the beyond burger without the bun (gluten allergy) and it was delicious, their fries are great too! My grandma got the Varick Street Chicken and loved it. Great place if you have someone who's vegan/vegetarian but everybody else doesn't want to eat vegan food! Our server Sarah was lovely, very attentive and a sweet girl. Parking is free and very easy to find. Definitely a sports bar, but it wasn't loud at all. Just some quiet music playing. Great place for dinner!
My wife and I were in the area to attend an Irish Christmas concert at The Stanley Theater. Beforehand, my wife wanted to find a good Irish place to eat. She found & we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Celtic Harp Rest. Great food menu, service, and atmosphere. Definitely will attend again when in the area.
Probably the second best bar on Varick Street. Food is good, drinks are reasonable, and there's always something going on. It does get a bit crowded, but that's sort of expected on a Friday or Saturday night.

The only complaint I may have was the food took an Inordinate long time. There was nobody there as we were a bit before dinnertime. We assumed it was the reason. No big deal. The food was really ??
