Some GF things on the menu. No dedicated fryer but they can cook items separately it just takes longer. Server was knowledgable about what items they can do gf, warned there may be some cross contamination. I did not get a noticeable reaction to anything I ordered 👍👍👍 Great pub for drinks and limited snacks!

Gluten free pachos! Say no more. Will bake in oven (no dedicated fryer) and fully aware of cross contamination. Note: served with sour cream. Emerald Isle contains gluten

Great service, went through the gf safety checklist with the server and was able to check off almost every boc. Their Pachos and a few other items are marked as gluten friendly. Honestly just loved the vibes of the place. Good spot to at least go for a drink, plus you get $30 off on your birthday

I've gone there a few times and there is exactly 1 celiac friendly option on the whole menu. ONE salad. They have managed to put gluten in every salad, soup, appetizer... EVERYTHING. The only thing I can have is mixed drinks, gut rot wine, or Strongbow. It is a celiac's nightmare. I only go because my friends go for trivia, but it's super frustrating. No dedicated fryer, no gf buns, no baked nachos (no nachos at all actually). To add insult to injury, the wait staff are still expected to dress in skimpy outfits so no wonder they're grumpy and don't really care much. It's just a gross place.

The food is great. The patchos take a little longer because they have to be done separate and the burger is done without a bun.
