Mike O’Shays Restaurant & Ale House

“Our customers say we feel like a second home,” said Mike O’Shays Restaurant & Ale House proprietor Rueben Verplank. That homey-ambiance extends from the “great food, fun and family-friendly atmosphere and maybe most of all the fact that we get to know our customers,” he said. Mike O’Shays employees, including chefs, have been getting to know Mike O’Shays customers and their taste buds for 20 years; last October the Main Street restaurant celebrated 40 years in business. As the longest-running restaurant in Longmont, Mike O’Shays is “doing the same thing we’ve always done – treating guests like family – while also doubling down this year with procedures to keep people safe and to give our customers a great experience,” Verplank said The large patio and indoor distanced seating are favorites with the lunchtime crowd, and the full menu and specialty sandwiches are also still available for takeout and delivery Lunch specials that draw in the crowds include New England clam chowder, fish and chips and the house black angus chuck O’Shays burger. A robust selection of beers from Ireland, along with carefully crafted mixed drinks and favorites from local distillers and breweries many at prices that will make anyone smile round out halfy hour, with half-priced appetizers. And, of course, you’ll also want to stick around for the full meal experience at Longmont’s reigning Best Restaurant // 512 Main St., Longmont, (303) 772-0252, mikeoshays.com
