"Went to Ceili Cottage on Friday night... wasn't too sure what to expect with a name like Ceili Cottage, but was very pleasantly surprised to find a cozy, Irish watering hole. Apparently during the summer months they have an extensive patio (which I can see there is tons of room for), but now that it's very cool and almost wintery outside, the only seating available is indoors, making it a very crowded little place. I would say that every table was occupied. \n\nI did not eat their food as I'd already eaten dinner, but noticed some really interesting selections up on the chalk board... I'll definitely have to check that out another time. \n\nThey didn't have my favourite cider (Strongbow) so I had a pint of Harp to start (which is a light beer, but a smidge hoppy for my taste) and a pint of Magner's (generally not my favourite to start, but not so bad as pint #2). \n\nIt seems to me that they are very deliberate about their offerings, keeping things to the \"road less travelled by\" types of things... for example, they do not have a fully stocked bar, so when we wanted to do shots (we were celebrating a friend's successful completion of her PhD), they only thing available was Jagger (fine with me, but not a popular choice over all). Also, when my friends wanted rye and cokes, they do not have standard soda offerings like Coke or Pepsi... they had some really small, imported brand, which was apparently tasty. I just thought it was interesting that they stay away from the big brand, regular stock kind of stuff and keep to the imports and local items only.\n\nOur server was hilarious and attentive, making it overall a very enjoyable night."^^ .
