Horrible Restaurant

by Jirius at Citysearch

First of all, I have to say that the food and beer was pretty good, although not as great as it used to be. But that is about all I could say. This was the 4th time we came, and each time the service just got worse. The waitresses do not pay attention to the customers. When you ask for bread they bring you about 1/10 of what you would expect. Bread is cheap, but you would think you were asking for free main courses. Also, we tried to use 2 entertainment coupons for a party of 6 (We bought 5 entrees, 6 drinks, 3 appetizers) The book says we can use up to 3 per party. The waitress informed us that that is the way it used to be, but not any more. I went out to the car and showed her the book. She sent the manager out and he showed me on the coupon itself where it said "one coupon per party." I have never seen this in the last 10 years at any restaurant we have ever been at. Not only that, but it turns out the manager, Ben, is also the owner. He was incredibly rude and abrupt with us. This is obviously his policy. Treat the customers with disrespect and try and make as much money as he can. It will not work. We will never return!

• Pros: Good food, but deteriorating fast
• Cons: Bad Service & Horrile Management

DO NOT EAT HERE

by georgiapeach420 at Citysearch

The menu is unclear, unfriendly service & hospitality, insects fly around the seating section, and the overall food quality is not worth its value...and as far as the bands that play there? I cannot even get into it. My overall rating = Not Worth It!!!

• Pros: Great Beer Selection
• Cons: Terrible food & service

Disappointed multiple times...

by Cuppettwagner at Citysearch

I live across the street, and was loving the idea of an Irish pub within walking distance so I didn't have to worry about driving after having a car bomb :) Unfortunately the car bombs are the only good thing there, and they're expensive! The first 2 times I went my beer glass smelled like it had been washed in the toilet. The third time my then boyfriend threw up after having the popcorn shrimp. The other food we've tried was not impressive. And if you go after 11 they look mad like they're trying to close up and go home, on a weekend night! I guess we'll have to look outside of Redmond for late night drinks and food in the future...

• Pros: location
• Cons: Service, food, cleanliness, parking

Best Food/Beer

by 147852369 at Citysearch

The place is Amazing, Very cool, the beer selection is outstanding, and the food was great. I love the place, I could not convince my wife to go home. I travel every where and I didn't see something like that...Cajun Food/Irish Pub....Very good, unique spot. I got banger and Mush, my wife got Jambalaya, oh boy, fantastic food between the best I ever had?.Well except my mom?s of course.

The Celtic Bayou used to be my favorite haunt in Redmond. Unfortunately, nearly everything I enjoyed about this spot has gone away in recent years. What used to be a brew-pub with decent food, great beer, great service and atmosphere to spare has turned into a character-less bar & grill with a decent beer selection, so-so (overpriced, over-seasoned, under-sized) food, and absolutely terrible service.

The patrons of the Celtic Bayou have to share some of the blame - there are too many that seem far too willing to overpay for so-so food and poor service; but it takes a special lack of management ability to ruin such a gem of an establishment.

• Pros: good beer
• Cons: poor service, lack of parking, overpriced food, small portions
