It might be small but the hospitality is MIGHTY!!! AMAZING FOOD and an even better atmosphere! Conversation with the regulars and Ashley was just what I needed after driving all day and running low on energy. Thank you for the great experience of this cute pub with so much character 💞

Simply put, it's a gem of a place with more character in it's compact footprint than most places dream of accomplishing. It's become a regular stop due to the consistent friendly and intimate atmosphere. On top of this, the food is exceptional and fast beyond what you might expect their kitchen to produce. I strongly recommend the loaded smoked pulled pork sandwich. Lastly, if you enjoy a Guinness, they know how to pour them correctly!

Sandwiches are good. Great first responder hole-in-wall pub. On boardwalk so pizza, seafood, ice cream shops next door to please everyone with variety. Nice outdoor seating weather permitting.

The place was a Google recommendation and I wasn't disappointed. Beef on weck is a favorite when I visit WNY. The beef tender, roll just right with salt & caraway seed and held up to the last bite, and fresh horseradish to top it off!

Stopped in for a drink and lunch on our way home from Niagara Falls. Let me start out by saying that this place is SMALL, but its personality is HUGE. I ordered a Guinness and my wife got a cocktail off the menu, both of which were perfect! The food is exactly what you’d expect from a cool little Irish Pub, and we were NOT disappointed. They make their own potato salad and coleslaw, and they are both INCREDIBLE. Staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and the atmosphere was pretty relaxed—everyone felt like a friend in Spike Dailey’s. The bill was a little pricey, but we are all suffering the effects high prices, so I’m happy to pay a little extra and support local business.

Delicious Beef on Weck. Would have been five star if it had the beef jus that usually comes with it. But besides that it was perfect. Great decor inside and great service.
