Wonderful experience !

Wonderful experience ! Traditional Irish (welcome by the real Garvan !) in all ways, so warm inside in all ways too. Guinness is truly the best in the country and the lamb stew is to die for, so is the seafood trio. Loved it and...More

Seated next to a warming fireplace on a cold winters day, in a historic 1800's building, and good food to eat. Don't forget the desert

Delightful Dinner

On a col, rainy evening, Garvan’s was a warm, cozy and delicious place for dinner. Seated promptly, with good service throughout the evening, we were all pleased with our meals. We topped off the evening sharing Garvan’s wife’s Guinness chocolate cake— yum!

Warm, cozy atmosphere and friendly wait staff

Garvan’s is one of our favorite places to eat in New Paltz. Owner Garvan is friendly to all and remembers your name. We enjoy the Irish music on certain nights, especially Mary Stuart once a month, and the Irish home cooking.

Yes. Children would be welcomed. I don't recall every noticing a child's menu. I have never seen children in the area near the bad, but I have seen families in the ante-rooms
