Annie Bailey's Irish Public House Lancaster

Came down at 3:30, after their Sunday Brunch. As expected, plenty of room and we sat in front of the fireplace which was nice after a chilly walk. We were greeted warmly by the host Jessika, and ordered some drinks. Jessika came over to politely and professionally tell us that their bartender just “walked out” and the shift manager Cleo was preparing our drinks. We watched Cleo mixing drinks for the 8+ people at the bar as well as the few diners scattered throughout. She had a big smile on her face and was cheerful through a clearly difficult situation. They were able to call in another bartender, Patrick, who arrived within 15 minutes and was also cheerful and friendly. He went right to the bar and started slinging drinks, which by the way were all delicious. We had the Queen bee and the Cherry sour. My wife ordered their version of a Nashville hot chicken sandwich, but with the spicy Korean sauce. I had the Irishman’s burger. Both were excellent, with the spicy Korean sauce a tad salty for my taste. The burger was one of the top 5 I’ve ever had in Lancaster. Food was fast and hot. Thanks to the cooks Jason/Will/Sabrina. What impressed us the most was the way the staff handled the situation. Very professional and courteous to all. And don’t let me forget about the ambience - very very cool interior. Beautiful bar, dark wood throughout, awesome lighting. Just dim enough but not so you couldn’t see your food. Don’t miss out on this spot!

Great traditional Irish pub, definitely recommend the bangers if you get the chance. The portion sizes are huge so keep that in mind while ordering. They do reservations for Sunday brunch
