Cool spot. Dana and Alec are the best. Beer bingo on Mondays is a hoot. Good food. Nice spot. They have a fun Karaoke on the weekends.

Bar is great, but won't eat here again.. I'm sad to say that the previously ok food at Ceol has really gotten bad. I think they've cut down on the menu choices, so you'd think what they are focused on making would be good, but it's not. The Shepards Pie is bland and tastes like sloppy joe with packaged mashed potatoes on top. The fries are out of a bag, and the salads look sad. This used to be a standby for decent bar food and sandwiches, but something has changed. I'd still say go to Ceol for an old school crowd, hilarious karaoke, and a good beer selection, but do yourself a favor and eat before you go.

Typical Irish bar. Food was average, but served cold. Music extremly loud enough to go deaf. Not enough chairs or tables for large group gatherings. Service for large group parties is adaquate with more than 1 waitress and 2 bus boys. Near mass transit which is a big plus. Your typical Irish cusine.

New Favorite Bar!. This is a great bar! I've lived in the neighborhood for over a year and can't believe I only just visited Ceol for the first time. I can't say enough positive things. The bartender, Alec, was awesome. He was super friendly, attentive, fun to talk with, and very inviting. The bar is a great Irish bar, big space but very cozy. Prices are good (better than most bars in the area), and the best is the bar food. Probably the best bar food I've had in....ever? The mozzerella sticks are amazing. Fun Irish music, juke box if you want to hear something else. Games behind the bar if you want to play...Overall a really great bar, I can't wait to go back.

Great craic. Loretta and Samantha have created a wonderful, warm welcoming bar with terrific craic. The live music sessions and great staff always make you feel welcome and wanted. They have truly got the "local" bar ideal down and Noel, the chef, is great. If you are looking for your own personal "cheers" on Smith street this is the place.
