O’Neill’s Shire Pub

Great place to stop on the road or just for a quick beer and appetizer

I went here for a friends birthday. Service was attentive. Drinks were tasty and reasonably priced. I had the shire burger. …it was so-​so. Cooked well but kind of boring taste wise. They did include homemade pickles and fresh lettuce and tomato which were good. Id go here again but I’d probably try something else. Had a nice atmosphere. Cozy cabin I would say. It was nicely decorated for holloween. My major complaint would be the price. For just my burger and 1 mixed drink it was $ 23. Just a little high for a burger and fries. My friends liked the fried fish.

Easily the best restaurant in Delhi. The menu is on par — definitely the best buffalo chicken sandwich I’ve ever had, and the turkey club is massive. The weekly specials are always great. The various bar pickles are homemade and definitely something to try, and you can never go wrong with a burger here. And the best part is the beer — local breweries, and rotating seasonal draught. They host different events most evenings, so there’s always something to do. Thursday karaōke and Saturday’s live bands are always a good time.

Food has been ok to pretty good, but the place is dumpy — needs a good scrubbing and refresh. The back room, where most people eat, is dark and worn looking. Feels like a basement. The entryway. Which is confusing in its side of bldg location, is cramped and dirty. The space has potential so it just feels neglected. Too bad. I wish they’d really just go all out on the ‘irish pub’ theme instead of the current ‘hillbilly’ theme!
Service has been hit or miss — there is one regular server who’s kinda rough in manners. She’s not outright rude but you’re clearly bothering her… on a most recent visit she walked us to our booth first and set up the table and poured waters before she let us sit. Never had that happen anywhere before. We just stood there behind her while she did everything then she walked off without a word and we assumed we could now actually sit.
I’ve had a variety of items here at lunch and dinner: crab cakes are good, and the burgers are too, and the salads as well. They have a great mozzarella and roasted pepper panini type thing too, which is delicious. Specials vary.

This is a great little place in Delaware County. The menu reflects local produce partially, which is great. Also has a great selection of beers and drinks. Definitely a good stop if you are in the area and in the mood for solid bar food.

Three stars about right, although their Shire Burger is very good… featuring local beef from Dan Finn’s farm… Joel is a spot on bartender and Ed and Sally are usually genial hosts!

Good if you like dives

I like this new place in Delhi. Closed about 10 years ago The Shire has re opend with a different look and a new menu. Theyve got live music quite a bit which is nice, a nice craft beer selection and tasty food. I really like the Bangers and Mash. The staff is friendly, overall a nice addition to the area

Super-​friendly waitstaff, yummy pub food, eclectic menu, pleasant ambiance, and a decent beer selection make this place a good stop in you’re seeking libations and/​or sustenance in Delhi.
Bonus point for a beer list includes local-​esque options (such as Ommegang) and some locally sourced menu items, including beef and veggies. Our burgers were delicious and the garlic fries rocked. We’ll definitely be back to try other menu items like the fried pickles (which could either be the world’s best idea, or the world’s worst).
Very good live music, too, on the night we were there. Check out the website for upcoming shows and events.
