Quarter Celtic Brewpub

Quarter Celtic does not present itself as a replica of an Irish pub. It is a neighborhood brewpub built around the McKeown family’s brewing background and Irish, Scottish, and Welsh roots. At the San Mateo location, that idea means house beer alongside a menu where Celtic cooking shares space with American pub food. It offers a different angle from Two Fools, even though both serve Irish classics.

The current menu includes Scotch eggs made with Italian sausage and lamb, shepherd’s pie with meat and vegetables, bangers and mash, corned beef with cabbage, and two versions of fish and chips. Several mains, including shepherd’s pie and bangers and mash, are listed around $16, while fish and chips starts at $16.99. These posted prices help with planning but may change.

Customer comments linked to this branch often mention local craft beer, filling plates, and friendly staff. Some suggest arriving earlier on busier evenings, and some note that the patio is less intimate than the dining room; the pub’s focus remains its bar, kitchen, and beers poured from the tap.

The San Mateo Brewpub opens at 11:30 a.m. and lists a 9 p.m. close most days, with an extra hour on Fridays; its Juan Tabo Tap Room keeps a different schedule. The website offers online ordering, group events, and party inquiries, and links Instagram and Facebook. For visitors who prefer local beer with Celtic food and transparent menu prices, Quarter Celtic is the least theatrical and most brewery-centered of the three.
