Celts Craft House

We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon around 2:00 and there were only a few other people there. Most of which were seated at the bar. Our waitress was slow to approach our table. She was even slower to bring our drinks to our table. We waited at least twenty minutes for two tap beers. The waitress seemed to know very little about the beers or drinks. Our food was excellent. My husband loved his burger and everything looked really fresh. We’d go again for the food but never if we were in a rush. There are some really cool beers on tap and interesting cocktails. It is very clean and there were plenty of tv’s available so going there to catch a game worked out for us as well.

Took 30 minutes to get a flat pop an expensive stale tasting beer. No thank you. Husband asked if the pop was running out and got an attitude back of how he had already checked and replaced it.

My husband and I stopped in last night for dinner. Service was great. The manager greeted us and brought our drinks. The waitress was friendly. She recommended the burgers and the Reuben. I love Reubens, so I opted for that. I was disappointed that they don’t offer sweet potato fries, but I settled for the broccoli slaw — $ 2 upcharge. My husband ordered the shepherd’s pie, something he has never tried prior to our visit.
Our food came out, and my very picky husband thoroughly enjoyed his meal. I wasn’t as pleased with my meal. The sandwich was barely warm — cheese wasn’t even melted! Flavor was nonexistent. The sandwich was large and filled with meat. I love broccoli slaw, but this was not tasty. I think they used an oil based dressing, and again, flavor was not good.
My husband brought my cold sandwich to the waitress’ attention, and she insisted on taking it back to the kitchen. The manager stopped by and apologized and comp’d our drinks. I was brought a fresh sandwich, and it was very hot this time, but it still lacked flavor. Chips were included rather than the slaw. My husband loves salt, and after tasting my chips, his first comment was how salty they were.
He wants to go back and asked if I would return. To make him happy, I would go back, but I am not sure that I would attempt their food a second time. I may just drink another diet Pepsi while he enjoys his shepherd’s pie.
3 stars because service was good, and my husband enjoyed his meal. My meal alone earns 1 star.

Went last night with my wife and sat at the bar. Solid food, attentive service and a great place to watch the game. Apple Valley needed a cool pub place that is not part of a big chain. Fun friendly atmosphere. Hope the place does well!

Excellent (fresh) food, attentive service by Garth and a pleasant atmosphere. The only quibble: the lighting seems really harsh. I don’t know if adjusting the track lighting would help, or perhaps less harsh bulbs, but that’s minor. We ate burgers and the Friday fish special and thought it was all excellent. As an added bonus, the manager came by and greeted us and asked how our dinner was, which I always appreciate. It was our first visit, but it won’t be our last.

We were excited for a new place in AV. Sadly, we were disappointed by this place.
I ordered the bangers and mash with the honey carrots. The sausage was supposed to be black pepper sausage, and yes it did taste of black pepper but that is all it tasted like. Very dull. The garlic mash potatoes were also dull. Tasted like all it was was instant potatoes with a little garlic powder. The carrots looked and tasted like frozen carrots that were defrosted then a little honey poor on top that mixed with the water from the defrosting which made a them soupy.
My husband order the shepards pie– the taste was meh and it was very soupy why too much liquid and not enough potatoes.
My dad ordered the Reuben and he said it was just ok.

Huge disappoint. Went here around 8:30 on a Thursday night. Asked server if there was a happy hour. She didn’t know, had to ask. (Answer: no) Reviewed mediocre tap list (not sure what previous reviewer was talking about) and asked about their house Kolsch (made for them by one of the Duluth breweries). Server: «I don’t like beer, so I don’t know.» Wow. Settled for a known commodity instead. I can’t believe this place opened with only two local craft brews on tap, and charging 7.25 for a Stella! Had chips and cheese. Chips were overseasoned, cheese dip was mealy. Ordered a second round, had to send beer back because it tasted off, like unclean lines. Bartender gave me a hard time about it.
Basically, they took the old Panino Bros space and redecorated a little bit. There aren’t even ½ the taps of Crooked Pint or Valley Tap House. Service was horrid. I’m not coming back.

Went in for lunch and had a great experience. The lunch special is a great deal for 8 $ and you get A LOT of food for the price. I will definitely be back!
