I don't drink alcohol, however I love going to bars and trying out their virgin espresso martinis! It taste like a cold brew, but in a pretty cup I was excited because the bartender made an amazing espresso martini that was delicious! It's a great place to go where you can hang out with friends and have a good time! The vibe is great and lively! read more

Darby's is a good sports bar, conveniently located at the gate of charming State Street. We like stopping here to sit at the outside side tables and watch baseball games. Service was efficient and polite. I had a Stella and JJ's Cantina Rolls and they were very good! read more

Great service!!! Great place to catch any sports event! Kids welcomed. That's a huge plus in the area. Tasty food. ITS CRAZY PACKED but the servers do amazing at keeping the drinks flowing. read more

We met some family here on our way out of town and we really enjoyed it. We were greeted and seated right away, which was a plus, and since there was quite a few of us, they put us in a more secluded back area where we could chat and hang out and my nieces toddler could get some running around without bother bothering anyone. There are plenty of TVs to watch which is a plus if you love sports, etc. I opted for some fish tacos that came with a side of rice and beans. My husband ordered a sandwich. We ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer as well as another couple of items. I can't remember off the top of my head this go around. I just opted for water while others ordered some beer as well as sodas prices are pretty fair and portions were good size. My tacos were great, but the beans were quite dry and I honestly didn't try the rice cause I was pretty full off of the tacos. Service was good. I don't have any complaints and parking was easy. Plenty of street parking nearby. Vibe is definitely sports bar and OK for family read more

Darbys is best for the good TVs they have inside! Lots around the bar & in the dining room. A great place to watch sports. Vibes are good. Place is clean & they have a decent happy hour. The food is decent, nothing great but not horrible either. Bar food. Service is good but every time I've been, they've needed more. read more

Food is very good, I have tried the steak pasta, the Philly sandwich not sure if that was the name of it. Bacon wrapped shrimp and pub pretzel. All very good, service was standard and the atmosphere was standard sports bar feel read more

Duuuuuuuude *facepalm* ***Disappointment ***Inconsistency The only word that continues to come up is so disappointed. And the catch is, last time we were here (Nov10) the burger was so fire. Let me start from the beginning. When we came back in November we ordered the pulled pork and a burger along with drinks and the Irish Nachos. The appetizer was fire, the burger was delicious, literally the patty melting in my mouth. The pulled pork sandwich on the other hand has to be sent back because it was too salty. I think their orange sauce had an error. Like they put salt instead of sugar when they were making it because it was that salty. Other than that everything was fine and I was gonna put 4 stars **** on my review. AMAZING service, great feel, and totally fun atmosphere. We came back this Friday. About a month apart from last time. Since the burgers were so good we thought that was the preferred pick. My husband got the chimi spicy burger and I got the darbinator, our pick from last time. Idk if their product distributor changed, or hasn't arrived and they went to their mystery meat and bread because we were sooooo surprised and NOT in a good way. Bread on BOTH burgers was stale and dry. It literally crumbled and we took a bite. The square meat patties weren't even seasoned. They felt like they had been frozen and microwaved. Let's just say my medium rare was fully cooked, and not on the stove. The only reason they get 2 stars is because the regular nachos we got this time were good, and service keeps being great. Two burgers gone to waste. We literally left all our food. We learned our lesson. Don't come here for dinner. Maybe appetizers and drinks. read more

On my last visit here the security guard asked my age almost apologetically before allowing me entrance, saying he had to ask. He did not seek any written proof of age afterward, probably because my white hair was ample confirmation of adult status. I would have been flattered if the reason for the inquiry had been based on a suspicion that my physical appearance indicated that I might not be 21. But, alas that did not occur. Bacon Wrapped Shrimp was again a superb starter, with really plump and hot shrimps. And, Classic Chili with Kidney Beans was also hot and excellent. Then I moved on to an Ancho Pulled Pork Sandwich wtih Onion Rings that were good and crunchy but varied widely in size. And I only detected a slight barbecue flavor in the pulled pork. Meanwhile, Diane again enjoyed her Orange Street Fish & Chips with French Fries. We received fine service amid a festive atmosphere of happy cantina goers mostly in their 20s. Demographically we looked out of place, but didn't really care. Most important to us here as elsewhere are the quality and variety of food served. And we both really like tavern food done right. read more

This place was recommended by a few friends and the vibes were great. There's screens everywhere for the game no matter which way you sit, and service was great. They give you a ton of chips with your salsa and the turkey sandwich was so delicious I wish I didn't split it with someone. However, the potato salad side tasted weird to my partner so I ate it, and then I got FOOD POISONING for the next 3-4 days... so do NOT get the potato salad!! read more

Came here with coworkers for lunch on 12/29/25. Service was exceptional. Wasn't too busy. We were seated quickly. Food came out within 10-15 min. I ordered the Strawberry Caprese Salad. It was delicious! I would def order it again. The other girls got the sliders and theirs look good as well. They enjoyed theirs. If you're looking for a chill spot and exceptional service check this place out. read more

We came in after work and were seated immediately. They have happy hour specials after 9pm til closing so we took advantage of the $8 menu. For dinner, we ordered the spicy chimi burger with fries and the chicken pesto sandwich with onion rings. Split between two people it was a very filling dinner. The ambiance wasn't too loud on a Sunday night and the service was quick and attentive. Darby's made for a nice cap to our evening. read more

On our way home to Phoenix, we were getting hungry and some folks at the University of Redlands said we had to go here.

We will definitely go back! read more

Our experience at Darby's was extremely disappointing. We came in with a large group and waited nearly 30 minutes without a single staff member acknowledging us or offering service. When someone finally came over--a Caucasian female server--she approached us with a noticeably rude and dismissive attitude. Things only got worse when we asked to speak with a manager. We were told, bafflingly, that no one knew who the manager was because they were there as a "third party." That kind of response just shows how disorganized and unprofessional the staff was. We ended up getting our own drinks directly from the bar (which was the only place we received quick service), but ultimately decided to leave due to the unacceptable treatment. Definitely won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend Darby's to anyone expecting even basic hospitality. read more

Went here yesterday Sunday 6/7/2026 afternoon. Horrible experience waitress was rude and never checked in us not once never refilled our water asked how our food was nothing. I ordered what she called beef stew but was the soup of the day which was extremely salty so I pushed it away while the rest of the table ate. At the end when everyone was done eating she asked if we needed boxes I said I didn't care for my food it was way too salty, as to where she asked did you want me to stir it off the check well of course I do was my reply. She just stared at me no apology and just walked away she then came back and said did you want something else I said no everyone at my table is done eating but if you would have checked on us sooner to see how we were doing I would have. Again no apology just stared at me then smirked at me I then stopped another waitress and asked for a manager she came back and said there is no manager here right now and asked what happened. Not sure if she was a lead waitress but I explained the situation she apologized and said she would let the manager know and would also talk to the waitress which I appreciated. After she spoke with a waitress another waitress comes and gives me the dirtiest look I was floored. Then the waitress trying to help us cane out let us know she took the soup off the check and gave us an additional discount which was nice of her however she then tells us she spoke to the waitress and said she didn't check on us because she was so busy I said I saw her by the bar chit chatting she was not that busy plus isn't part of her job to at least check in her customers at least once. So trying to justify her not checking on us was off. We will never come back here again and will not recommend this place to anyone. read more

The food was blan. And the beers were good. That's why I gave it a2 stars. Most are locals that hang out. And probably have never ate out side of here. My pesto sandwich was dry. Had to get a side of pesto. Which was bland no taste and just oil. My coworkers only liked the chicken strips. The nachos were salty and they left hqlf of it. Service was mediocre you only get good service if you are from here or have an eye patch. read more

This is my first time at Darby's and I enjoyed the experience thoroughly. It's a sports bar with many screens and decent music playing. The help is friendly and professional. The food came out in a timely manner. I had the patty melt, which was delicious. They added a fried egg and avocado, which added some extra taste to the already flavorful hamburger. I definitely recommend this place and plan on returning soon I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed in the food read more

My husband and I went to Darby's this past Saturday night and had such an amazing experience. Patrick was our bartender and he took incredible care of us the entire night. He was attentive, friendly, and clearly works very hard to make sure everyone is having a great time. We actually asked for his schedule because from now on we only want to come in when he's working! While Patrick was hustling and taking care of guests, another bartender with a beard seemed more interested in his phone, which really made us appreciate Patrick even more. He never stopped moving and made sure our drinks were perfect every time. The food was fantastic too. I ordered the steak and it was cooked absolutely perfectly. Drinks were on point and the beers were great as always. The owner clearly knows what he's doing because hiring Patrick was a great decision. We love this place and will definitely keep coming back -- especially when Patrick is behind the bar! read more

I'm on a new kick where I don't review a place until I've visited a few times. I typically come here for lunch and it's nice and quiet. However, I'm writing this review on a Friday during happy hour with a big game on. First things first, GREAT place to watch a game (without sound). So many TV's. Not a seat in the house where you can't see the game. Sound would be nice, but it's fine. Food: I've tried various appetizers and entrees. Everything has been fresh and delicious. No complaints whatsoever about food. Service isn't bad either. I would say it's above average considering it's a bar. Overall a fan of this place. I will continue to come back. read more

Good spot, decent drinks, great atmosphere. It's a nice spot to watch a game or two. I recommend going here to hang out.

Huge drink menu: 40 taps, 100+ whiskeys, solid happy hour deals. Tasty, generously portioned dishes--from sliders, to steak, to ribs. Fun sports-bar atmosphere with TVs everywhere. It can get cramped and noisy when it's packed. Service occasionally slows down on busy nights. read more

I had lunch at Darby's with a friend recently and was very impressed. We both ordered a salad. I had a chicken Cobb salad and she had a chicken Caesar salad. Our waitress Jordan was one of the most pleasant parts of our lunch. She went out of her way to be accommodating with what we both wanted or didn't want on our salad. She was super sweet and very efficient. The atmosphere was also very warm and inviting. I hope Jordan will be there when we go back next time because we will be asking for her. Thank you Darby's for a very memorable lunch. read more

The fish and chips were very good and had drinks. Wine was great. The waitress was perfect. Nice atmosphere and clean

In the heart of downtown Redlands lies Darbys, a quaint establishment known for its diner-esque charm and vibrant ambiance. Despite its unassuming setting, Darbys never fails to surprise with its culinary offerings. A recent visit left me thoroughly impressed.. particularly by the 8oz steak served alongside creamy mashed potatoes, au jus sauce, and perfectly cooked asparagus. Not your typical steakhouse fare, the quality of the cut and its medium-rare preparation spoke volumes. Their attention to detail in plating, reminiscent of higher-end establishments..... At $28, there is GREAT value for such a satisfying meal. It's safe to say Darbys has earned a loyal patron. Here's to many more delightful experiences !! ( Cheers ) read more

I want to give a thank you to Jon for reaching out twice to me regarding my past experiences. We have visited twice since then and things are seeming to improve. Food and drinks are great just wish the late night menu had a few more options! The past two servers we had were very nice. I would only recommend having a hostess in the front, all the time we have gone no one is there. Other than that, thank you Jon! read more

This used to be a great food establishment. Our children request this place for their birthday celebration every year. I was sick most of the evening due to this food. Today my husband and I went for lunch. we ordered the Western ranch burger. The bacon was raw. They change the hamburger bun on it. It was literally dry and falling apart. It had no flavor. To top it off the quality and Meet has gone downhill. They change the french fries as well. They are thin and tasteless. I ordered the salted caramel bouzouki and it was tiny. They are charging the same amount of money for less food. Which is fine by me, but the quality of the food is trash. I will not be returning to this place. They lost my business for life. The waitress was very nice and friendly. read more

Love the Micheladas and burgers from this place.The service is also good and all servers have been polite. I would recommend it.

Darbys is always a good spot to watch a game and grab a beer. Their Irish nachos are really good and they have a good selection of beers and mixed drinks. The service is always good and fast and the ambiance is a chill sports bar with good food. Pop in to grab a beer and watch a couple innings or a quarter. read more

Made a reservation here 2 weeks prior to hold a fantasy football draft. When we arrived we put the board up on the wall and the "owner rudely came over and demanded we remove the board. The board was a piece of paper rough 4' x 3'. I told him we made a reservation, he rudely DEMANDED we Take it down. I'm not sure if he was racial profiling us because the league consist of me (Hispanic male) my sons, my nephews and my sons friends. Some Hispanic some black, Its wild to think there is an issue with putting up a paper sheet that's 4'x 3' in a bar that plays sports all day. I will never go back and hope that people recognize the actions of this owner. My sons were extremely embarrassed and felt attacked read more

Came by for dinner last night 3-26-22 for dinner because our first choice had an hour wait. Darby's was able to seat us in about 15, just enough time for us to walk another block of the cute street. The hostess and our waitress were very friendly and efficient, great service. There was a good variety of beer on draft - I went with Racer 5. Everyone else got drinks. The micheladas were not good. The coconut margarita was good, not overwhelming coconut. The caramel apple was sweet and strong, likewise the pomegranate margarita, yummy. The food, however was just meh. My shrimp salad may have been good if it hadn't been drowning in dressing. The patty melt was ok, nothing special. I was surprised how small the chipotle steak burrito was - not sure how any adult gets full from one. It came with a handful of stale chips. Apparently, this is a spot for drinking and hanging out. The music was so loud - and so is the crowd. It was difficult at times to hear each other. read more

Ordered the spicy chili burger. It's incredible how they can make a burger that's both dry and oily at the same time. The patty was dry but oozed so much oil. No flavor in the patty. So mid. The pretzel is the only thing I recommend. read more
