    Great ambiance and fair prices - and of course beer! The food came out quickly and the server was attentive and friendly

    Chicken Tacos
    Ryan V.

    Really cool on the inside with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It was really loud during dinner service between the music and patrons from the bar which is very close to dining room seating. There was only one server and she did a great job and managed all indoor and outdoor tables. The door was okay. The Shepard's pie could have had more flavor and was a bit dry. The chicken tacos were very good and came with fresh avocado. The chips were homemade but the queso was very thick and kind of bland. It was trivia night and that's always a fun time.

    Steak Frites Plate and Loaded Cheese Fries
    Jessie C.

    Loved this classic Irish dive bar!! We got a few rounds of the mango margs ($10). They were on the sweeter side but huge. The portions were huge- the loaded fries ($10) were cheeses and super thick. The steak and frites ($17) were good but nothing too special. The steak was somewhat tough but I loved the chimichurri sauce and now the fries were more crispy and thinner. Our waitress was super nice- She kinda took my plate while I was still eating so I'd advise ppl to ask for a to go box earlier on.

    Bangers & Mash

    Solid pub in Uptown. There seems to be plenty of TVs and space inside and out to watch games for sports fans. I thought the bouncer and waiter to our table were very nice. They seem to have a wide enough drink selection - and our dishes (bangers and mash + Reuben) were large and filling. My bf did wish he got his requested dressing - he asked the water and didn't get it. It looked like rhe waiter was injured so he wasn't too mad, but I would suggest maybe asking customers preferred sauces on certain dishes at rhe time of order + serving with food to help this problem. I would be curious to try their other menu items another time. If you're outside in the summer, they do put the fans on mostly, though sometimes they're not on or hit at a bad angle, I had to adjust my posture to get air when I went.

    Divey in the best possible way. If you want great pub food, a classic English beer list and whatever sport is currently playing- this is the place for you. The food was great and service was incredibly quick during a crowded football match. Prices were also super reasonable for the large portion sizes.

    This was one of my favorite stops in Dallas. The venue is pretty cool - it has two floors and they have a great food menu. You can overlook McKinney Avenue from the second floor balcony. The bartenders were super friendly and gave me a lot of recommendations of where to go for New Year's Eve. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and look forward to returning

    Came in and ordered a cider and a beer off the menu. I was told they didn't have the cider in stock so she offered a different option that I went with. A few minutes later she came back and let us know both the cider she recommended and the beer we ordered they did not have. She recommended a much more expensive beer to my boyfriend but he ordered something more similar to his original order. After this I ordered a cocktail and my boyfriend his other beer option. Instead of getting the beer he ordered she came with the expensive one she had recommended as well as my cocktail and the second cider that they apparently did have in stock. Overall the experience was not great and I will not be back. It was not busy the server just seemed as though she couldn't be bothered.

    hot flat beer and blah blah blah.
 SMU CROWD LIKES IT. 
 FOOD IS ALWAYS GREAT WHU I SUFFER TO GO HERE.

    Met up with an old friend here for drinks on a Monday night and really enjoyed it. Super diverse…read morecrowd, very casual, and still lively even on a weekday. We got a cheeseboard, but if I had to recommend one thing, definitely the fried mushrooms if you like mushrooms. They're huge and the spicy cilantro sour cream sauce is killer! We sat in the indoor/outdoor area, which was my fave. It can take a minute to flag someone down when it's busy, but that felt understandable for how busy they were. Easy place to settle into and lose track of time a bit--just drinks, conversation, and good food without overthinking it.

    I came for "just one pint" and left three days later wearing someone else's sweater, speaking in a…read morequestionable accent, and convinced I'm 1/16th Irish on my mother's side (DNA test still pending). The Guinness is poured so perfectly it should be in the Louvre. The bartender, Austin (I'm pretty sure that's his real name and not just what he tells customers), has the patience of a saint and the sarcasm of a man who's been asked "Do you have anything like Guinness but less dark?" one too many times. Highlights: The fish & chips were so good I briefly considered converting to Catholicism just so I could thank God properly. The bathroom graffiti is poetic. "Roses are red, violets are blue, I came for a piss and met half the crew." - actual quote. Then you've got Hannah, who's basically the pub's chaos coordinator. She's got blonde hair that could guide ships in a fog and a laugh that echoes like a banshee having a great time. Don't sleep on Wes - He'll nod once, slide you your drink, and if you're lucky, mutter something profound like "Life's short, drink good stout." Then he disappears to polish glasses like he's auditioning for a monastery. Absolute mystery man, 10/10 enigma. And rounding out the crew is Paige, the wildcard. She's got stories that start with "Back in then..." and end with police chases, lost sheep, and at least one exploding still. She'll flirt with your grandma, roast your ex in three sentences or less. There is also this Asian guy that looks like a confused troll with blonde hair. He lives up to the saying once you go Asian it's amasian. Can't forget the blonde girl that's going through the Dallas legacy transition of bottle service to real estate. Shes as good at serving as she is selling real estate. These people run the bar like a well-oiled dysfunctional family. They banter with each other louder than the jukebox, remember birthdays you forgot you told them, and have an unspoken code: if you're having a rough night, they'll slide you a free shot and pretend it was a mistake. If you're being a gobshite, they'll roast you into next week without missing a pour.

    This review is long overdue but hey as long as I get it done…read more We were luckily referred to Harwood Arms by the front desk of our hotel at check-in, which was conveniently within walking distance (~10 mins) and has a kitchen that's open late which was nice after a day of travel, later check-in and being hungry. It was a few days before Thanksgiving, there was a decent crowd in the bar and everyone including the bartender (who's name I now cant remember because I took so long to write this) were all very friendly and helpful. The bar was warm, cozy and decked out in Christmas decor (and cute bathroom wallpaper). Good beer selection, great food (I literally ate the tikka masala twice during our couple day trip) and they were conveniently open on Thanksgiving after the game and a fun shot wheel, which was both fun to partake in and fun to watch others do. We will definitely be back if we find ourselves back in Dallas.
