I enjoyed the atmosphere of The Harp right when I walked in! I loved the wood paneling (?) and the Celtic/European feel of the interior. They clearly have a great draught selection and the post-work crowd seemed to be really enjoying themselves.
We chose to be seated outside since it was a nice day. We were hoping to get a great view of Lake Erie. Sadly, there isn't that great of a view with salt mines, highways, and watertowers all around. Oh, industrial Cleveland. We need to work on expanding our waterfront... for humans, not machines.
Friend ordered a black and tan-ish drink -- cider and guinness. I tried it and it was great. I'll probably order it when I go back.
I ordered a vegetable boxty, a more traditional Irish meal. It was huge! I saved half for lunch the next day. It's what I imagine Irish food to be--filling, compact but somewhat bland. It was also a little pricy for what I got. Maybe next time I'll get the salmon boxty to make it worth it, and to have a little more flavor.
We shared the guinness ice cream for dessert. Satisfying and sweet!
Service took a little long, but it was decent and friendly.
I think it's a great pub, and I'm sure it's really cozy in the wintertime. I would definitely love to come back but I don't think I'll be super regular.
