Hawthorne's Favorite Irish Pub Since Day One

Award-winning gastropub food, craft pours, live sports, and a hand-hewn bar that feels like home in Hawthorne, NJ.

About Us

Celtic Corner Restaurant and Pub exterior with festive decorations.
Celtic Corner Restaurant and Pub exterior with festive decorations.

David McGoldrick and Roy O'Donovan built Celtic Corner around one simple idea: a proper Irish pub should feel like you belong there the moment you walk through the door. The centerpiece is a large hand-hewn bar crafted with authentic Irish woodwork, the kind of detail that tells you this place was built to last, not just to open.

With a 4.5-star rating earned across more than 770 Google reviews, regulars keep coming back for the curry fries (a must-try, according to nearly everyone who orders them), the bangers with onion gravy, and burgers that consistently steal the spotlight. Save room for dessert. The bread pudding here has a genuine following, and for good reason.

On any given night, Celtic Corner is part neighborhood hangout, part sports bar, part event venue. Football supporters clubs gather here. Big matches draw crowds. Brunch fills the room on Sunday mornings. The atmosphere shifts with the hour, but the welcome stays the same.

What We Offer

Celtic Corner runs from brunch on Sunday mornings straight through to late nights seven days a week, which means there is almost always a reason to stop in. The kitchen turns out Irish pub classics alongside craft cocktails, a solid beer list, and wines that pair well with the food without overthinking it.

Beyond the daily dining room, private events and catering are a real strength here. The space handles parties, celebrations, and corporate gatherings with the same laid-back professionalism that defines the pub itself. Online ordering is available for those who want Celtic Corner at home.

Sports are woven into the fabric of the place. A dedicated football supporters club meets regularly, and the pub is gearing up as an official 2026 FIFA World Cup viewing destination. Whether it is a Premier League Saturday or a midweek Champions League night, this is where Hawthorne watches the game.

"Been here a few times, food is ok nothing special and the appetizers really arent worth it. Got the bavarian pretzels on the 1st visit and they were overcooked and almost burnt. Second time got their wings and they were just ok, nothing to brag about. Usually get the burger and there really are no complaints, which is why i've been back. Today (arrived around 350 and left around 410) was my 4th or 5th visit and the service or should I say lack of was apalling. After being sat down, we were there 20 minutes and werent even offered water. We decided to leave and nobody even asked why or even bothered to acknowledge that we were leaving without being served even though the bartender/waitress who greeted us watched us leave. There were only 4 people at the bar whom she was chatting with (who had their food and drinks) and nobody else, not exactly busy. Honestly not worth your time or money for this type of service for average at best food, unless you are just getting drinks and even then that might be a stretch. Much better options out there with MUCH better food and drinks. Never been to a place where I wasnt even offered a glass of water for 20 minutes. Wont be coming back here again"

"A locals hangout with good food, drink and sports. Menu options span Irish pub offerings such as curry fries (recommend as a must try) and specials. Bangers with onion gravy is excellent. Drink options include seasonal cocktails and local craft beer. In summary, it's a community staple"

"We have been coming here regularly for a few years now. Food is decent with the burgers being the highlight. They really shine with the desserts. Some of the best bread pudding I’ve ever had. Great atmosphere and I’ve never had to wait for a table. I really like the neighborhood bar atmosphere."

"A Saturday treasure hunting trip ending with lunch at the Celtic Corner in Hawthorne, NJ. We ordered a Bowl of Chili and Old Bay Butter Chicken Wings for our appetizers.The chili had great flavor with a medium spice, tomatoes, red beans, plenty of meat with chopped redonions and chees on top. The wings were crispy flavorful with a mild heat from the Old Bay. The crispy chicken sandwich with added bacon was enjoyable and the secret sauce was had great flavor - but that's a secret! The black bean burger was well balanced with a crisp crust to the burger, avocado, pickled red onion green and a chipotle aioli which gave it some heat. Good for small or large groups or families. The staff was excellent and welcoming. We would definitely go back."

"Celtic Corner 312 Lafayette Ave. Hawthorne, NJ 07506 Thai Chili Wings Bavarian Pretzel Steak and Arugula Sandwich Classic BLT Crab Cake Sandwich Literally located on the corner of Lafayette Avenue is a local Irish pub with a variety of lunch and dinner options. In addition to having a full size bar and main dining area, the walls are adorned with very attractive wall art. Thai Chili Wings: The wings have a perfect blend of sweet and spice. As always, the blue cheese dipping sauce is the backbone to this appetizer. Bavarian Pretzel: In lieu of being shaped into a knot, the bavarian pretzel looks like a hot dog. I may not agree with the appearance, but I 100% agree with the taste. The pretzels are war and crispy on the outside while soft and doughy on the inside. And don’t be shy with those helpings of pretzel salt! Steak and Arugula Sandwich: This tender, superb sandwich was cooked medium rare and served with sauteed onions & mushrooms on ciabatta bread. Classic BLT: Served on Texas toast, this sandwich has an addition of mayonnaise and avocado to supplement the three primary ingredients. Crab Cake Sandwich: For an Irish pub, this was an excellent seafood sandwich. The crab cake was breaded with panko crumbs and had a variety of toppings. The chipotle aioli sauce was the backbone to this boneless meal. As a bonus, this pub hosts special events throughout the week from Trivia Night to live bands. This pub serves excellent meals and it goes to show you don’t need alcoholic drinks or cocktails for a great dining experience! #celticcorner #hawthornenj #irishpub #thaichiliwings #bavarianpretzels #steaksandwich #BLT #CrabCakeSandwich #eats #localspots #foodreview #foodstagram #njfoodie"
