Cara Irish Pub & Restaurant in Dover

Great food drinks and atmosphere The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable which is refreshing and uncommon for the area. Highly recommend their Corned Beef and Cabbage, I just couldnt get enough and the root veggie side was an unexpected bonus.

Never had a bad experience here. Great food, great staff, great drinks

Everyone was very friendly, I felt comfortable and enjoyed my food.

Sunday afternoon/evening Irish Jam Open Session!!! It's awesome. No cover. The food is good. The music is good, and the beer is good!!

The staff is amazed and very tolerant... given who they have to deal with. The past 2 times I've gone they have really handled themselves.

They have about 12 good beers on tap, didn't eat, do I can't speak to the food. The bass from the club upstairs combined with the music in the bar is cacophenous, the two bar tenders also seemed oblivious to non-regular clientele. I'd go somewhere else.

Went here a while back actually. Food was great! Waitress was very pleasant. Comfy atmosphere, but about $2-$3 higher per plate than hoped for. Was DD so couldn't try the drinks everyone seemed to like. Overall great night!

Atmosphere music and Ruebien pizza on Naan bread is to die for. Left hand milk stout so smooth.

Good burgers and the Irish sausage is good, mashed potatoes need a more real taste! Beer selection is ok, missing north county cider!

Have enjoyed the food in the past here, but best to avoid on st. paddys day. Cover charge on the door. Menu is reduced and familiar meals replaced with cheap alternatives. The sausages used in the "Bangers and Mashed" were nothing short of disgraceful. Very disappointed

Excellent little pub. Friendly service and good drinks!

I went with a group to this place and have drank here before and have had no issues with the the drinks... Until the day I am speaking of.. the wait person never wrote the drink orders down I ordered a Jamison in Coke and was given it in ginger ale not a big deal but then my food came out last, about 5 minutes after everything else and my mashed was frozen in the center and my meal was just warm.. I had told the wait person this and she said "well I told the kitchen" I was not the only person to get cold food. I work in the food and beverage world and not once did the manager come over and talk to me or did I get an apology.. I live in Dover an I promise I will not return due to feeling like I didn't matter one bit to this young lady sorry...

My friends used to work there

last night was the first time in this good restaurant. But It is definitely not the last. We passed a splendid evening with the courteous service, with the excellent dishes and wine and with the modest pay. We will definitely go back there again.

Worst cobb salad i have ever had. About 5 bites worth of cold hard chicken. Half of an egg crumbled. No bleu cheese. Iceberg lettuce. Barely dressed. Server/bartender was not interested in our experience as guests. Kids were stomping, yelling and running back and forth on 2nd floor right over us the whole time we were there. Server Never asked how the food was and did not clear our dishes. My friend's reuben sandwich was good though.

Worst service I have ever experienced in a restaurant. We had a party of seven. Only five got food and that took over an hour. Portions were tiny. Kitchen refused to accommodate my wife who has celiac. She asked if her scrambled eggs could be cooked in a separate frying pan to avoid contamination. They said no. She didn’t get the eggs yet she still had a gluten reaction from something even though we told them of her allergy. Careless!!

Awesome place. Great drinks, classical rock, etc. Downstairs rap, and rave up stairs. Lots of fun and great security.

Fine enough when I'm actually able to get decent service. Had a couple times where it isn't busy at all but the service has been very slow, they seem to just be hanging out with the regulars instead of serving people who aren't regulars.

Fun environment with live music & a club that opens late upstairs

Just how an Irish pub in America should be. Welcoming, great atmosphere, real Irish food. Real Irish music on Sunday nights. Awesome music through the week.You just can't go wrong with this place.If you haven't been here, you need to go. If you have been here, you need to get back!!

Great music, great food, Rick James etc.

Love it because they have outdoor seating which I'm more comfortable with right now. Drinks were good, appetizers were good & the atmosphere was awesome.

Local Irish pub with real quality. Plenty of drafts on tap and a full bar. Kitchen is a "from scratch" kitchen and most everything is made onsite. Friendly owners, knowledgeable staff with a function room and stage for LIVE acts upstairs. They also show events upstairs which has a MASSIVE 25 Ft screen with full HD! Easily the best place in town to catch a game!

Good food, good atmosphere.

Fantastic irish food. Potato cake.

Great food, great music, and fantastic staff!

Fun place to eat real Irish food, have a good Guinness, and dance. Two floors, club like bar upstairs and a traditional bar down stairs. One pool table and a lovely staff. Great watering hole to be at.

Great Irish pub with good food and craft beer.

Turn around on the staff is quick, BUT the food and service is always top notch

A bit overpriced but the drinks and atmosphere are good.

Kinda trashy but fine to visit every once in a while

Food was not great. We ordered mussels for an app and 5 of them were closed. I have never received a plate mussels with that many closed. The rest of our meals weren't great either. The bar tender served our friend 3 different types of drinks when he just wanted a Coors. There were two bar tenders and only one would wait on us. The atmosphere overal was really nice, it was clean so we were super disappointed by the food and service.

Excellent pub fair, great service

Burger was uncooked, just thawed , still raw. Said something, made me another, it also was poorly cooked, cold and bun soggy with red beef juice. Turned my stomach. No apology, no one seemed to care.

Great atmosphere a genuine Irish Pub .Awsome food and staff very accommodating.

Great food, great service!

Great Rueben! Enjoying eating there. Nachos were soggy but, food overall consistent and atmosphere great

Great food, a great bar, awesome music ... what more could one want?

Very chill layed back place to relax and play some pool . Darts

Best corned beef! We were there between lunch and dinner, but they still served me the dinner plate of corned beef since i can't enjoy a classic Reuben due to dietary allergies. Our server, Maraina, was wonderful.

The food is good went for lunch couldn't try drinks cause we were in our lunch break but we will be coming back to try the drinks and the night atmosphere

Great as always. I come to NewHampshire almost every month and love getting a drink and some potato cakes!

"You can't order mozzarella sticks, they're just for kids. They're sticklers about that." - is all you need to know about the place.

The outdoor seating was lovely, as were the staff! A real effort was made to adhere to social distancing and hygiene standards. Masks and sanitizer were available at the front door. The fare was solid pub food, great quality and obviously home made. No Sysco shiz here! I can recommend the haddock nuggets - love the light panko fry! The fries are hand cut and delicious. Get the home made Thousand Island, it is BOSS. Really great joint in my backyard, and I'm glad we found it! Will definitely be back.

Very dirty place.

Great atmosphere, Reuben to die for and service above and beyond. To bad Google's map guide sends you a street beyond taking you to shipping dock. Three trips around the block was a hassle but worth the effort.

Wonderful music, amazing family feel, excellent food! Place feels like you are in Ireland!!!

If u have not been there you should up stairs down stairs there place got what ya need to have a good time

Courtney is an excellent bartender; she is fast, friendly, personal and remembers names and the drinks you like. This entire place has a fun, loving neighborly feel. Everyone is happy to be here. I met one of the owners tonight and she was very friendly as well. I am happy to give my business to such an excellent company.

Good food. Good company, always a lively crowd. The epitome of an Irish Pub.
