Clarke’s Bar & Restaurant

Sort of indifferent hence the middle of the road review. The bartender spoke to a handful of regulars and would answer you if you spoke directly to her but she had to be called a couple of times to ask for things because she was glued to the TV and you always felt like you were interrupting her show. I love that the fries are real sliced potatoes but they were soggy not crispy. My boyfriend ordered a burger which apparently he’s had before and thinks is good. I didn’t eat it. I had an appetizer sampler. The wings were good. The chicken fingers were cold and chewy and the mozzarella sticks were soggy. The potatoe skins were good. Real potatoes, real cheese and real slices of bacon but they got burnt under the broiler so the edges were black but the middles were good. Overall just eh bar food

Dirty bar filled with dirty old locals. Beer on tap was flat, and decided that the unclean bar is not worth eating at. Given two stars because the Bartender was very friendly and nice but will not be coming back. So many better options in the area, you can most def skip this place

Been going to Clarke’s since summer time. I have to say it’s a very friendly place. The owner Bridget is the most nicest person I have ever met… There homemade potatoe chips are the best

Outstanding for relaxing with colleagues or getting rowdy over a game. Bring the kids, have some fun.

It’s been a few months since I went here, but I had promised once I got Unilocal that I would write a 5-​star review because of the amazing service, homelike atmosphere and top-​notch food. This is definitely a gem of an establishment. I highly recommend Clarke’s and hope to return soon.

Australian Burger w/​Beer Battered Onion Rings was Phenomenal. Sam Adams on tap, so this Boston Boy was happy. Small bar area with dinner seating as well. Highly recommended if in the area.

Had the Australian burger. It was pretty good. Very juicy but not sloppy. The burger has a fried egg on it. Anyway, I’ll just say that the burger was excellent. I also ordered fries. The fries were a little underdone. The cool thing about this place is the fries are actually cut potatoes. Maybe even hand cut. Because they were undercooked they had a very oily film quality to them. If they had allowed another minute or so they probably would have been perfect.
One thing I don’t like is the lack of soft drink selection but hey, it’s a bar. I can’t remember what I paid. It was around $ 11.50 for the burger, fries, and soda.
Long story short, it was a very satisfying burger at a good price. they have several TVs, albeit small, with sports and a juke box. I’ll probably return to watch some sports and try other foods. I recommend the Australian burger.

This is another 5 star review based on my personal experience here. My first and maybe only since we’re just visiting. Unilocal helped me find this place. After a late evening arrival at LaGuardia and slightly stressful rental car drive in unfamiliar territory to Yonkers, hubby and I wanted a laid back drink and meal that didn’t mean dressing or even cleaning up much due to the time. Other Unilocal reviews made it sound like Clarke’s was our place.
Thanks to the Google maps directions app, we arrived in just a few minutes. A small little restaurant/​bar warmly lit with white Christmas lights~ very welcoming. We bellied up to the bar. A mixed crowd of what appeared to be regulars, but we soon learned the great bartender treats everybody that way. Tommy said he only works Wednesday and Sunday (?).his day job is firefighter. His personality probably added a lot to our experience. A great listener and he had his own good stories. He seemed to know everyone there and we felt we had a new friend before we left. He was very accommodating to our requests too.
We had big appetites so we each ordered burgers. I got the chili burger with beer batter onion rings. Rob got a cheese burger with fresh cut steak fries. They were delicious and filled us up
They had a decent draft selection. Radio was playing good 70’s music and caddy shack was on one of the tv’s. We were sooooooo mellow when we left. Wish this bar was in my neighborhood. But then, I would probably spend way too much time there.
If you’re in the area, looking for a chill bar, check it out!

I really like Clarke’s! The owner, Bridget, goes out of her way for you. As well as the STAFF!

The Pub is clean and the food is very good! Safe neighborhood & the regulars are super friendly. I moved to the area a few years ago and was looking for a place where I could go withOUT being part of the «meat market» … people don’t bother you — but they ARE friendly. I NEVER had a bad experience at Clarke’s!
This place is an IRISH PUB! (Which MEANS the restaurant IS connected to the BAR! Duh! So those of you who are putting it down, I suggest you go somewhere else — this isn’t a club in Manhattan w/​velvet ropes! Pffft!) BUT if you are looking for GOOD FOOD, CLEAN RESTAURANT /​BAR to watch the game (they have SEVERAL TV’s) or listen to music whether you want to be alone or chat w/​the locals or make new friends … (meet New people from around the world,) THIS IS THE PLACE!
At my recent visit to Clarke’s, the owner, Bridget was running the place solo. It was July 4^th, rainy, & I wanted to watch the World Cup. I met several people from their Bike Riding on the trails from the Netherlands! Bridget was quick w/​the drinks and food — very friendly & attentive!
I just made my 25 year old daughter a new fan of Clarke’s!

Great place for a quick cocktail and a bite. I’m partial to their hand cut french fries and burgers. It’s a great neighborhood spot, friendly people and always welcoming.

Good salad except for 1 bartender all the rest are great

This review is long overdue. I came here with a co-​worker to have a quick bite during our lunch hour. Being that its during work hours, I’m always reluctant to go to suggest bars, but looking at a menu, we decided to give it a try.
Atmosphere: There were tables away from the bar area, however, the area was small. (The place is definitely geared for bar patrons)
Food: Great irish pub food. I had a burger, my co-​worker had shepherd’s pie. My burger was awesome. My co-worker’s dish was to his liking.
When I get a chance, I’ll try some dinner.

I’ve been coming here for lunch for about a year now, and I Love it here! Their paninis and chef salad are delicious! Bridgette is the Best! Friendly & knows how to keep her customers happy. If you’re looking for a cozy spot, with good food and drinks, then this is it.

Stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised.
I’ve lived in the area for a couple of years now, but found this place by accident. A couple of weeks ago I was wandering around in my car and smelled a wonderful aroma of grilled meat. Looking around I spotted this bar and restaurant and immediately made a mental note to return.
Having nothing else to do in the afternoon, I decided to drive over and give the place a whirl. It’s a bit dark inside but very nice. There is a bar area and a small area with tables. I grabbed a stool and was offered a menu and a newspaper. Sweet!
I decided on the Cajun burger with fries. It was a delicious burger with a spicy sauce. The burger was nice and juicy without being a total mess. The fries were very good as well with a bit of malt vinegar.
Definitely a place I will go back to.

in my mad hunt for something, ANYTHING to eat near my hotel just the other side of the Saw Mill, I finally found this place. It will not wow you with food (standard, sub-​par bar food). It will not wow you with vibe either. In fact, it’s not a place to go to be wowed on any level. it’s a place to go an grab a few drinks, catch the game maybe, but mostly get away from whatever — and do it in a place with regular folk and good service.
and we all need that place
