Mccarthy's Red Stag Pub And Whiskey

The best Irish pub in the Lehigh Valley. Great food, spirits, and atmosphere. Friendly staff and hard working chef make every meal an experience. The store offers a lot of great products from Ireland and the UK. The pub hosts a Robbie Burns dinner, monthly cooking classes, Whiskey Wednesdays, and other great special events throughout the year. Traditional Irish favorites like Bangers Mash, Cottage Pie, boxty, and more are prepared with a modern twist. Lots of great beer, cocktails, and of course whiskeys. One visit and it will become a new favorite.

Old post but went here when things were just starting to open back up after Covid. Good way to decompress after touring Old Moravia.

Upon arrival we were greeted by multiple employees and immediately felt at home. Inside, the restaurant was decorated from floor to ceiling while maintaining an old fashioned pub feel. Intricate wood carvings lined each of the booths ahead of us which had DOORS ON THEM! What an interesting design. We opted to sit outside as it was a beautiful day. Despite only 1 outdoor table becoming newly available the staff jumped on preparing it for us. Meanwhile, we were asked by each and every employee that passed us if we were being helped or if we needed anything. Incredibly friendly. As we sat down we were greeted with a mix of Irish and Celtic inspired favorites from the likes of Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys and more. The menu had everything you 'd imagine an Irish joint would and more. Lots of old fashioned dishes as well as some modern takes. We started off with a few drinks. The strawberry mojito was lacking, however, we are difficult to impress when it comes to cocktails. My Blacksmith mix of Guiness and Smithwicks hit the spot on a sunny day. Our waiter was friendly, helpful and on point. We each ordered a cup of soup. Both the potato and leek soup as well as the creamy chicken and mushroom were excellent. That was followed by an order of fries covered in cheese fondue and garlic butter sauce. Although all of the food was great they were truly the star. The perfect sidekick to a cold pint. The Mrs. ordered beef on a weck as her main. Bangers and mash were my weapon of choice. All of the meat was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Kummelweck roll was like a little fluffy cloud to nestle the roast beef on. To top all of it off their onion stout gravy. Wow. The bill was surprisingly reasonable as compared to other eateries in the area and well worth the price. We can not wait to return and see what kind of magic lies behind the stag booth doors as well as to grab some of their fresh baked goods which we forgot all about due to being full to the brim with potato

Very nice atmosphere with live musicians most weekends. Love the fish and chips. Wait staff are always friendly and service is prompt even when crowded. Aimee our waitress was great! We got one of the snug enclosed booths today, it was nice. 2022: Still consistently good food and service.

I am not one to complain about food when I'm the one that made the mistake. Staff was attentive and knew something was up so they came and asked. I blamed no one but myself. They didn't care the fault???? instead offered to help make adjustments so I was happy. I went here two days in a row and the same waitress helped my table both times. If I am ever back in the area again this place will have my patronage again. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.
