The ambiance was nice, the restrooms were clean, and the staff was friendly. Definitely coming back for a quick grub!

We got sat down pretty quickly. Then the table behind us got sat down 5 mins after. They got greeted right away and got their order taken. 10 mins after our server came and took ours. Our server was taking a big table of 12. In my opinion someone else should've taken our order if the server was busy with a big table. Then our food obviously took a while because there was a huge table before us. By the time our order came out, the table behind us were finished and got their checks and left. Food was delicious as always. The service was non existent, she only came by to take our order and give us our order. She never checked on us. Our drinks were empty. We waited and I tried telling the host that we need the check. 5 mins passed and I asked the host again that we need to pay. She then told me that I can pay at the counter. I went and waited for another 5 mins. Finally our server came up and told me that she went to our table and weren't there. I told her that we have been waiting for a while and that we were not happy about the service. She dismissed what I said. $61 total and left $5 tip. Not my usual style. I normally leave 50% tip. Maybe this is a sign we need to save money and not eat out. We spent about $700 in one week from dining out. Eeeek! Thank you for the reality check!

There is also a pool table and few arcade games! The menu is extensive with plenty of traditional bar food options and some Irish staples. Everything sounded delicious, but I opted for the Pop"s Pub burger. I figured that would be a good starting point to get a feel of how good the food is. The burger was good, but not $21.00 good. The fries were tasty ,and I really enjoyed the side salad that came with it. The burger itself came with lettuce , tomato and a house sauce (thousand island blend). The burger was cooked perfectly , and tasted pretty good. However, when you add a $10.00 IPA to the equation and throw in a tip- I was out $41.00. I didn't like my meal enough to spend that kind of money. For a burger to be this pricey, I needed more. This place seems like a cool place to chill ,watch a game, and enjoy a cold beer. I may just do that next time and skip the meal. The service was poor. Once my food was dropped off , I never heard from the lady again to check on me until she dropped off the check.

Portions are big. Big enough to split or take home leftovers.

Got the cheeseburger #1 and upgraded to garlic fries which was only 50 cents more. Good deal. My wife just got the salted caramel shakes First service- 5 stars. Went to the counter to order and the young gentleman who took our order was friendly. When we chose a booth, it was kinda dirty and my wife waved another young guy who came promptly and cleaned our table. Food- 5 stars Cheeseburger was no frills but had mayo and pickles and diced onion and the fancy romaine lettuce . Thin patty but complimented the bun. Garlic fries - 5 stars . Wife loved it. Only down was they only give one Heinz ketchup dip but wasn't enough for the fries. Salted caramel shake- 5 stars. Was only $6 but was priced fair Overall, great meal on a Saturday and plenty of peeps were dining in

Tried this place for the first time on a Friday night. The restaurant was packed, but we were…read moreseated promptly, which was nice. I ordered the steak sandwich, which was a 10/10. My daughter ordered the Gilroy garlic pasta, which was also delicious. My son ordered the mac and cheese from the kids' menu, and my wife ordered the lettuce wraps. The food took a while to come out, but given how busy the restaurant was, that was understandable. Up until we received the bill, the evening was nearly perfect. Unfortunately, that's when things took a disappointing turn. The $19 lettuce wraps ended up costing us $31. During the ordering process, my wife asked our server, Jesus C., how the lettuce wraps came. He explained that she could choose chicken, salmon, or both, with 6 ounces of each. She chose both, not realizing that selecting those options would result in an additional charge. I take responsibility for not specifically asking whether there would be an extra charge. However, I also believe that when a menu item has a listed price and a customer is given additional protein options, the server should clearly explain that choosing those options will increase the price. Simply presenting them as available choices without mentioning an additional charge is misleading and creates an unpleasant surprise when the bill arrives. Unfortunately, a similar situation happened later in the meal. My 4-year-old son ate his mac and cheese very quickly. Jesus noticed and asked if he would like more. I agreed, again because no additional charge was mentioned. We expected to pay the $9 listed price for the kids' meal, only to find that we had been charged $18. I understand that restaurants charge for additional portions and upgrades, and I have no issue paying for something when the cost is clearly communicated beforehand. My concern is that, in both situations, we were not informed that additional charges would apply. Overall, this experience was disappointing. I left feeling like the pricing had not been communicated transparently, which unfortunately overshadowed what otherwise would have been an excellent meal. All that was needed was a simple statement such as, "There will be an additional charge for that." Moving forward, I will certainly make sure to ask about additional charges before agreeing to anything. However, I also believe the responsibility should be on the restaurant to clearly communicate pricing when customers are offered upgrades or additional portions. I will also be contacting Santa Clara County Weights and Measures to ask whether these pricing practices comply with applicable requirements. Update: After posting my review, the manager followed through and promptly contacted me regarding my concerns. We had a productive conversation, and the issue was resolved to our satisfaction. I appreciate the manager taking the time to personally reach out, listen to our concerns, and make things right. While our original experience was disappointing, I'm pleased with how the restaurant handled the situation afterward. That level of follow-through is appreciated and speaks positively to their commitment to their customers.

Large portions, a self-serve BBQ sauce station, and plenty of beers and NA options to choose from make for a great visit. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Awesome patio space, great for groups. The brisket and tri-tip were the shining stars here. Tender, juicy, and meaty. Good cuts of meat, and it's clear they put time into their processes. Really enjoyed both of their BBQ sauces, and the baked potato was also very well done. Pretty good service. Order at the counter, and they bring it out to you. Bus your own table; I'm sure it helps keep prices down. My dad said he wanted to come back here every day of our vacation. Certainly worth checking out!

But the owner was nice enough to let me order lunch anyway. Got the large rib sandwich with extra garlic bread. The rib was slightly dry. But nothing too bad. I can smell the smoked meat. I can taste the tenderness. So I enjoyed that. They took time smoking it. But the large sandwich is impossible to hold. Cut it into thirds please. The biggest downside for me was. The meat has absolutely no rub. It needs black pepper, peppercorn or something. It needs spice. The bbq sauce didn't compliment it well. Maybe slather in sauce and let it cook for a nice glaze. Pouring sauce onto the rib only made it taste like sauce and you lose all the smoked flavor.

We originally made a reservation to take our boys…read morebowling for the first time, but unfortunately there was a festival happening in downtown Gilroy and, because of all the road closures, we couldn't get anywhere close to the bowling alley. I called and spoke with the manager, Saulo, who was incredibly understanding and worked with us to move our reservation to the following day. When we came back, Saulo and the entire staff were welcoming, hospitable, and accommodating. Our boys have special needs, and since this was their first time bowling, it was definitely a new experience for them. The staff was patient, kind, and made us feel completely comfortable. That meant a lot to us as parents and made what could have been a stressful outing into a really enjoyable family experience. Huge thank you to Saulo and the entire Gilroy Bowl staff for taking such great care of our family. We'll definitely be back. Additionally, the food and drinks were top tier!! 10/10 -- highly recommend!

First off, the environment and atmosphere is perfect, it's a hangout/lounge, with a bar, a dining area, and of course the lanes. The couches are extremely comfortable, to where you can hangout and drink for hours. All the staff was extremely and accommodating for a Saturday in all sections, bar, bowling and food staff. Lanes felt well waxed without any big grooves or dents which is always a plus. My only complaint would be that the cheese literally falls off the pizza when you take a bite. But other than that, had a great time with the family and will definitely return and recommend this alley to others!

We arrived on a Saturday early evening for dinner recently. Old City Hall Restaurant is located in a nice area in beautiful downtown Gilroy. Parking is accessible along the streets. The restaurant use to serve as Gilroy's old courthouse and jail. It has been transformed into a majestic and historic restaurant building. The decor is modern and traditional. Plenty of tables are available for dine in downstairs. There is a full bar with plenty of bar stools. The lovely patio looks inviting and spacious. Unfortunately I was not able to see the upstairs dining area. We ordered a Chicken Cordon Bleu with a Caesar salad and baked potato, Scallops and Prawns with a house salad and coleslaw, crème brûlée, and a couple of happy hour drinks of local IPA and house Chardonnay. Everything was delicious. My Chicken Cordon Bleu was flavorful and the combination of the cream sauce, cheese, ham, and chicken all went well together. The wifey said her Scallops and Prawns was scrumptious and the tropical salsa was a delightful complement. Her only gripe was that the portions did not match the price point of the dish. The crème brûlée was delectable and the perfect dessert to complement a wonderful 3 course meal. Overall we enjoyed our experience at Old City Hall Restaurant. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The vibe was bustling and inviting. Daily happy hour is always a nice touch. We will come back to try other dishes especially the burgers.
