Been a minute but from what I remember everything was really good the flavor of the Guinness beer battered cod was great. Service was great also, worth a try and see what you think.

I have to say that the breadsticks were comically huge, but not in a bad way. I'm not complaining at all, I'd love to get these huge portions. Not only were the breadsticks the perfect portion, they were delicious as well as the barbecue pizza that we bundled with it. I would definitely recommend this place to other people.

We had been to Clearys Pub a couple of times, usually for an afternoon drinks and maybe an appetizer. This time we met some friends there for dinner so we got to experience more of the menu and atmosphere of the place with a full house. We had heard many good things about Clearly's food, so we were excited to get back here. I was tempted to get the fish n chips but instead opted for the fish tacos. We also had the Irish Rueben, and our friends had a cheesburger, the club sandwich, and Sheppards Pie. All the food was super good, the service was great and the atmosphere was lively but not too loud, we were able to carry on a conversation without yelling. I highly recommend Clearys if you are in the Howell area. There is plenty of parking in the lot behind the building and there is a front and rear entrance.

First time here, we went on a Saturday night and it was busy but they had a table available for us to sit down at right away. Parking was available in the back. Food was delicious and came in large portions we shared the lobster mac and cheese as well as the Shepards pie both were delicious! We really liked the French Onion Soup and the cheese Curds would definitely recommend those. Service was fantastic and on top of all our needs. Would highly recommend stopping by here for a bite to eat.
