Bushwaller's

What a hidden gem right in the heart of downtown! 🍀 We stopped in during weekday happy hour, and while it wasn’t too busy, the vibe was absolutely perfect. The staff were amazing—super friendly, attentive, and quick to take our order and check in throughout the meal. You could tell they genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. The pub itself is cozy, beautifully decorated, and bursting with Irish charm—there’s even a countdown to St. Paddy’s Day that adds a fun touch! 🇮🇪 We kicked things off with the Irish nachos (HIGHLY recommend!), then I had the bangers and mash (pictured) while my wife went for the chicken pot pie. Both dishes were phenomenal—comfort food perfection. We saved room for dessert and ended with the bread pudding… WOW. Warm, rich, and the perfect sweet

Bushwallers is okay overall, especially for takeout. The food was decently priced and tasted fine. The shepherd’s pie was decent, though the meat mixture was a little too sweet for my taste. The burger was pretty good for a bar-style meal. However, when I went inside to pick up my order, the experience changed my impression. The place felt very dirty and unorganized, and it immediately made me question the overall cleanliness. It definitely seems more like a bar than a restaurant, which might explain some of it, but it still wasn’t a great feeling. Food was fine, prices were fair, but the inside atmosphere and cleanliness were a big downside.

Dec 2025: Cozy Irish pub in old town Frederick, MD. The vibe and setting was pretty cool. The beer was flat and the food just ok, specifically the Po’ Boy sandwich. Shrimp was over-fried and were small; stuff kept falling out of the bun, not enough fries to go with and frankly just did not taste good. Rate that meal a 4/10. Maybe the other menu items are better.

Oyster has lil dead crab inside :(, i love the corned beef and cabbage. Good place to hang out, they have different specials every day

I visit often to play darts in a fantastic atmosphere with amazing food and great drinks. The shepherd's pie is the best, but don't snooze on their burgers- they are delicious! Pictured are sliders- but they're huge! Large whiskey menu and Guinness on draft. They have a great brunch menu, also! Go eat here.
