| - Terri R had one day left to take care of her Groupon for Firkin On Paradise. So, this is where we ended up for dinner. I admit, I had this bookmarked a couple of months ago and ended up dropping it off my list due to just the average reviews. But when a meal is basically going to be free, it really doesn't hurt to try.
We came in on a Friday night and this place was surprisingly not busy. Considering it's fairly close to the strip and near the Hard Rock, I expected more people. We were seated right away and even though the service was good, our waiter must have been a newbie because there was a lot that he didn't know and had to ask for assistance. I didn't have an issue with this so I will leave service with just good.
As for their food, all I can really say is it's just a pub with pub type food. Nothing really on the menu caught my eye, but the prices weren't bad so I'm not complaining. Besides, the meal was pre-paid via Terri's Groupon. Still Lenting, I had their Seamus' Crispy Fish Sandwich and a bowl of Clam Chowder. The chowder didn't wow me. It tasted like your basic Campbell's Soup chowder. As for their fish sandwich, it's basically one piece of a battered fried fish put inside a bun. I was starving so I ended up eating the whole thing. It's not bad, especially for the price. I just don't see myself going out of my way to eat here.
If you're coming to Firkin On Paradise, keep in mind that this is a pub first, restaurant second. In other words, come here to hang out and get your drink on. By the way, I still would consider Steiner's food over Firkin on Paradise.
