| - Disclaimer: This is one of my favourite places in the city. You can pretty much stop reading now.
Well, if you insist on reading more then I can definitely rave a little bit. First of all, the patio. It is large, it is spacious, and there are plenty of tables with umbrellas for those sweltering hot days. The service-folk are always just attentive enough that you get what you want when you want, without feeling pressured and hawked over.
They have a great variety of beers on tap, with some very unique rotating taps. Coming from Edmonton it is a real change compared to most places back home. In fact, I even had a first here on my last visit: I managed to have the last pint on a seasonal tap and it had already been switched to a different beer by the time I was done. THE HORROR! Naturally, the second one was just as good, or even better.
As for food, my knowledge is pretty limited. Why? Because I have found the three best things on the menu (for my tastes at least). First up: Oysters. Ceili's always has a great variety from all different regions, and they offer a great "Shucker's Choice" platter featuring a variety. If you want the freshest of the fresh, delivery day for Canadian oysters is Monday, and Irish arrive on Tuesday. Second item: Kettle chips. Yes, you read that correctly, in this universe of foodies this punk just recommended kettle chips. Fact is, they are homemade on site, tossed with olive oil and salted JUST enough. Between three people we can easily polish off 3 or 4 bowls as an appetizer. SO GOOD. The third must-try is their special dessert, which is always changing. I always get it and no matter what it is, it is amazing.
Long story short, TL;DR, GO HERE. LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE. EAT OYSTERS.
