Celts Craft House - Apple Valley

Comfortable seating in the bar with reasonable price. It took a while for us to get the drinks due to lack of staffs. Limited cocktails drinks options. Fried fish was tender. Coworkers like the salmon salad and wings. We had a great time playing Vingo. Our waitress was friendly.

Happened to be in Apple Valley and found this hidden gem that is not very noticeable while driving. It's located within Grand Stay Hotel and Conferences. It was late around 1:40pm or so and we were on a father daughter lunch date. The lunch hour rush was behind us and there were just a handful of diners. I assumed most of the staff would have left and they would be closing down after lunch. But no, they were open with supposedly a skeleton crew and the bartender, Jim(Schire attended to us right away. They have seating at the bar or tables or booths. It was a very homely feeling inside and we settled down in a booth. They have a full bar and the choices of beer on tap made it a hard decision for whatto have. Jim was happy to give us a taste. (I'll definitely be back for the nitro! . Did I mention, they have 22 or 23 different varieties on tap. We ordered some Jalapeño chips and were pleasantly surprised when the order came. Assumedit would be potato chips with Jalapeño rub but they were actually jalapeños lightly battered. They had a mild heat, very tender yet crunchy. We came to know that Al (Brady , the chef/owner soaks them in his secret marinade the day before.Talk about labor of love, this is a must have again on our next trip! The choice of burgers and sandwiches were also good. While my daughter ordered the Craft house burger, I went for the Rueben. It was loaded with corned beef which was sosoft tender that it literally disintegrated in the mouth. It is evident that both Al and Jim take pride in the restaurant while looking after guests. We live 35 minutes away but will be driving over again to try something else fromtheir food menu and ofcourse the nitro!

Ordered 2 corned beef sandwiches $40 later they gave me this?? I asked Stacy for a refund or at least what the picture showed and she responded with too bad I can?t help you. Food taste like trash definitely not worth the price and definitely would not recommend anyone to eat here.

Good food at moderate price, 4:00 on a Thursday I had one on one service. Nice ambiance. Great Touch Tunes speaker system. $3 HH Cloudy Bourbon with Jim Beam. 9 TV's. The bar seats 17. 9 high tops in bar with. About same number of tables in attached restaurant area. Parking could be a problem if the Grand Stay Hotel is fully occupied. Hope this is helpful.

Did a carry out order and it was all there and really really good food! Great little gem inside the hotel.
