Conklin's Irish Rover

I have been to Conklin's Irish Rover (3157 VA Beach Blvd #104 & 105 VA Beach. 757-631-1294) several times, mostly to enjoy some of their very tasty draft beers which often include Irish and British beers and I have been told they have local beers too. I have also eaten there a time or two, and before they changed their menu they had a very tasty chicken sandwich with bacon, caramelized red onions, and cheese. To bad that isn't still on the menu (hopefully someone close to Conklin's will read this and tell them) but what is on the menu is classic Irish food such as bangers and mash, Irish eggs, and more. The atmosphere is most definitely Irish Pub with Celtic music playing and either rugby or real deal soccer on the TV's. The staff is usually very friendly and the bartender very educated about the beers.
On this visit it was at lunch time with my cuz and the place had a few patrons both drinking and enjoying some grub. As we sat ourselves we were met by someone that appeared to be an employee that was off and just helping, or the bartender/waiters girlfriend trying to help him out. The waiter came right over and got our drinks as we looked over the menu with appetizers that ranged in price from $5.95-$9.95. We decided on the garlic mushrooms which was a warm crock filled with tasty mushrooms in a garlic butter broth, for some simple fungus cooked in such a simple way, those were some tasty nuggets of joy.
After checking out the rest of the menu of sandwiches that were priced between $6.95 and $8.95 and entrees that ranged from $13.95-$18.95, I decided on the burger of the week which at the time was a black and blue burger, a tasty blackened burger topped with blue cheese with lettuce and tomato. At first bite it was very tasty and the burger was nice and juicy, but after a few more bites I realized there was too much blue cheese on it. The burger itself was cooked perfectly to medium rare and the pub fries (mini fried potato wedges) are chronic.
My cuz decided on the banger sandwich, a grilled Irish sausage with sauteed pepper, onions, and of course potatoes on a potato roll with a grain dijon mustard. She said the sammich was tasty and said she would definitely be back to eat again. I have to admit that every St. Patricks Day myself, my brother, and my cousin dress up like modern day leprechaun's and enjoy a proper pint at Conklin's, this year we might have to partake in some tasty eats too. I recommend checking this spot out and if your feeling brave around St. Patrick's Day venture out to Conklin's and say hey to the leprechaun's and enjoy a tasty Irish beer and some Irish food.

Didn't see a kids menu

Just like a real Irish Pub in Ireland, No smoking inside.
