We were so impressed by the fish and chips. The fish was perfectly crispy and the fries were soft in the middle and crispy on the outside. Would definitely come again for that. We also ordered the Reuben bites which we were surprised to see were literally just pickles meat and cheese (this is literally what the description said to be fair but we really thought Reuben bites would mean there would be some sort of carb element), that being said, we weren't mad about them, they were alright. Overpriced for what they are, but alright. Could see someone who is keto going crazy for these. Would come again for the fish and chips!! read more

We got the Irish coffee, a Moscow Mule, the original chicken sandwich, and the hot chicken sandwich. The Irish coffee and Moscow Mule were both a little disappointing and not really the kind of drinks that knock your socks off. The food was a bit confusing too. The original chicken sandwich was actually good and had more spice, while the hot chicken sandwich was not spicy and honestly not as good. Overall, it felt more like a traditional Irish pub geared toward tourists than a place with truly standout food. read more

The food was okay. We knew that it was going to be a little noisy which was fine; we had a group of 4 and it took less time than expected for our food to come out. The atmosphere was definitely more fitting for a group of friends drinking not really for casually chatting with family. Hopefully the next time we go I can update my review :) definitely want to come back again and give it another shot! read more

Friday evening with some friends. The place was noisy and full so we knew the food delivery would take time. The waitress was attentive and pleasant. Two of us ordered bangers and mash and the sausages were burnt on the bottom and dry. The mash was reminiscent of old time elementary school paste, not at all creamy or smooth. The consensus was that we should have returned the meals to the kitchen. read more

This shit be bussin, absolutely cracked drinks and slappin Shepard pie. Server was super kind and during lunch hours, it's nice and quiet.

Came here last minute because they allow pets on the patio & boy they did not disappoint ! We ordered what you see shown plus a Buena Vista Irish Coffee and Not Far From the Tree and when I tell youuuuuu those drinks were DRINKS! They were NOT skimpy on the pours lol Our hostess Kelsey was very nice and checked on us quite often even though we were outside which we appreciated. The food was delicious and the sausage on the board - A1. My brother said that the burger was probably one of the best burgers he's ever had . Highly recommend checking them out - cause we will definitely be back! read more

I have been meaning to stop in Barrington's Irish Pub for a couple months now. I finally did it and I regret not doing it earlier! I am fascinated with Irish food and really enjoy shepherds pie. Most places prepare it like a pot pie but replace the top crust with mashed potatoes. Barrington's prepares it in a manner that Guy's Grocery Games would refer to as a de-constructed shepherds pie. It's served in a bowl with the mashed potatoes in the center, surrounded by a sea of the meat filling and two pieces of soda bread along the wall of the bowl. I enjoyed every bite and wished I was hungry enough to order another serving! However, that one serving was just as filling as it was tasty. Then I foolishly thought I had room for dessert! So I ordered the Soda Bread pudding. It is served very hot and it is very good. Unfortunately I ate only half of it because I was now uncomfortably full having been unable to stop eating! I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience at Barrington's with its Irish decor and the eclectic music playing at a light volume in the background. I look forward to returning soon. read more

Our party of seven loved every bite! Waitstaff was friendly & attentive and were happy to help us split meals.

The food was very good, and prices are the norm for today's prices in restaurants.. what the disappointing part was the service! It was terrible, one person running the bar, and serving tables, taking orders etc. they need more than one person!! The place is small, 12 tables and the bar with seating.. the place started getting full, and still one person doing most all of it! One additional person did come out of the kitchen to deliver some of the orders on occasion. Overall very good food, very terrible and slow service! read more

Just discovered Barrington's. Really cool atmosphere with live music. The servers are really attentive and the beer is cold! My wife got the Reuben Bites which are amazing! Come give it try! read more

Less than mediocre. We were one of two tables in the afternoon about 2:30 pm. Our server was doing everything but paying attention to her server duties. We sat for 20 minutes before she apologized and said that the kitchen didn't see her ticket. One of the items we ordered was a Ploughman's platter. I have had many & this was by far the saddest excuse for one I have ever encountere. The corned beef could not be cut through with any knife blade. The rest of the accoutrements were insufferable. The pasties. Go to a freezer section & bake at home. At least our server was enthusiastic about the lack of quality. read more

Stumbled upon this place after arriving in Oak Harbor. Fun neighborhood style Irish Pub with fantastic food, beer and specialty cocktails. They even had live Irish music which added to the vibe. Service was great, friendly and very attentive staff read more

Fun but noisy when crowded spot. Food quite good and reasonably priced. Friendly and attentive service.

Great food, drinks, and vibes. They have live music I think one or twice a week which is a great touch ! The servers are always friendly too. read more

We were on vacation and hungry for lunch. We looked up some places we can eat and decided to go here, because a Reuben sounded good to my husband. We were not disappointed, at all. The Reuben was absolutely delicious. It tasted exactly what it should taste like. It wasn't dry and tasteless. I had the beef lamb burger and it was full of flavor, and juicy. The fries were so good! I like steak cut fries that are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They do it Joe-Joe style here, which is my favorite. The service was good; friendly and welcoming. read more

New here to the island wanted something hearty and filling I got the fork and knife stew it was so good I honestly cried a little such a flavorful bowl truly the best taste of anything I've had since arriving in oak harbor 10/10 read more

Incredible Irish food and atmosphere. The staff is very accommodating and have fallen in love with my beautiful Service Dog/Golden retriever Rosie. read more

We read some reviews and were hesitant to go there but the hotel clerks really thought highly of it so we decided to try it. We were pleasantly surprised! We would rate this restaurant as one of the best restaurants we've been too. My husband had Bangers & Mash and I had the Fork and Knife Stew which was over-the-top TASTY! Even my hubby agreed my dish was better than his. He wants to learn how to make it. Our waitress, Rachel, was so friendly! When we asked her name, she told us and then asked what our names were and then shook our hands when we told her our names. She checked on us frequently too. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience. read more

My husband and I walked in to this establishment about a month ago. They have a sign that says "Seat yourselves" so we situated ourselves by the window. We waited for a good 20 minutes and nobody ever acknowledged or checked in on us. We then decided to leave and still nobody said anything. Such a disappointment! We went there previously with a couple of friends and we were served immediately but not that time when it was just us. read more

Stew was good however it's really overpriced for what they give you. 26$ for a bowl of stew that costs maybe 8.

This was a nice change from all the Mexican food restaurants that seem to pop up on every corner. Don't get me wrong...I love Mexican food! It's just nice to have such a wonderful and fun alternative. The food and music made for a fun outing with my husband and teen. The pastrami-topped fries were a hit! read more

Food was tasty traditional grub ( fish and chips, etc) with a twist of individuality from the chef. Large portions. Try the fried pickles- amazing! Good selection of beer. We were there for a night of live traditional music which was wonderful. Service was ok. Parking is tight so park in back. Try it you'll like it! read more

They served us warm/tepid pot pie and told us they had no way to heat it up. We didn't eat it.

We were there on a Monday afternoon, well after the lunch rush. I don't know if temperature counts as "ambiance," but it seemed hotter inside the restaurant than out on the street. They had a heat-pump style air conditioner running, but they also left the front double-doors wide open, so there was no way the air conditioner could succeed in cooling the room. The service was slow because there was only one employee out on the floor, and she had to double as the bartender. The food came quickly, but was a step below lackluster. For an appetizer we had a Barrington's Boxty, which is their take on traditional Irish potato pancakes. Their "take" is to shape them like hush puppies. That was interesting, but the potato inside was complete mush (about the texture of pudding), and had very little potato flavor, although the horseradish sauce helped mask that. My dining companion had Roasted Brussels Sprouts. I thought they smelled overripe, and judging by how much she left uneaten, I gather they weren't very tasty, either. My entree was Fish 'n' Chips. The fish was watery and bordering on textureless, which suggests to me that the fish had probably been frozen. The breading tasted okay, though. The fries seemed like they had either been overcooked, or possibly cooked in old oil. The color was unappealing, and the texture was, once again, mushy. They had very little potato flavor. I had a Guinness, which was cool-ish, but warmed up quickly in that hot room. Overall, not a great experience. We probably won't be back. 2 stars. read more

Dublin Lawyer was good I do wish it was bigger though!!! Love the live music. Family enjoyed the drinks as well. read more

4 of us went to have dinner. We arrived sat down and were brought waters and said our server "Sam" would be right with us. 20 minutes later no service, there was only 4 tables one already had food and the others came in shortly after us. We watched her walk back and forth from the bar to the water station over and over. We finally got up and left. We can spend our money where they will appreciate our patronage. It's unfortunate too because we like their food. read more

The service was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the live music and entertainment and the food was amazing. I had Reuben Bites and a mixed green salad. The presentation was beautiful and the food fresh and full of flavor. read more

We had a great meal at Barrington's. The environment is awesome.. They have put a lot of work into their decor. It feels like an Irish pub with a northwest twist. Lots of wood and handmade furnishings. The food was amazing and well priced. They have a nice selection of Irish beers. We enjoyed the Reuben and the shepherds pie. Both of them were delicious and probably one of the best Rubens we've ever had. To top it off. The service was on point. read more

Waited half an hour to make a drink order... people who arrived after us received drinks before us. We left.

By far the best food in Oak Harbor. Great menu, great prices, great staff. The fish and chips are AMAZING, but the staff is what sets this place apart. read more

Stopped by Barrington's to try out their Rueben sandwich. It was delicious. Bread was slightly toasted, not greasy by any means. The corn beef was absolutely tender. I will definitely go back again! read more

The ambience is comfy pub. All it needs is Irish step dancers! Everyone loved their food. I had a wonderful mushroom cottage pie with mashed potatoes-oh yum...our server was attentive but let us be. She had a full house! read more

Fantastic food, great vibes and super nice staff! Easily some of the best food on the island.

only go here if you're into the bar scene. extra fatty corned beef and cabbage, burnt Ruben sandwich, soggy yet over cooked fish and chips, stew and cottage pie are mostly vegetables and gravy. They don't take reservations unless you're a personal friend. The male owner is rude and nasty. If you ask for a specific table he tells you to leave if you don't like it. not good for children or groups. Wine comes in a can. Servers are friendly but understaffed. We had to find them to get things they forgot, just stay away from the little male owner. We won't be back. read more

I was with a table of 3 people total, they automatically added gratuity to my bill on a split check! not okay. this tip culture needs to be checked and put into balance. Yes, I can afford to tip, the waiters service was good and I would have tipped him more, but the establishment ruined it for him. read more
