The fish was perfectly fried and super crispy. Shepherds Pie was outstanding, nice oniony flavor that wasn't overpowering. "The rueben was phenomenal! The bread didn't get soggy, there was enough meat, not too much sauerkraut. I could just take my time to enjoy all the goodness packed in this sandwich. So thank you, it's going on the map as a place to visit again" (-the person who ate the Rueben) The service was incredible and our waitress was funny.

If you're looking for a bar that knows how to take care of a crowd, this place absolutely delivers…read more We came in with a large party, and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating--quick service, super friendly, and genuinely on top of everything. It made the whole experience feel effortless. One of the coolest parts of the bar is their fun tradition of letting guests write on dollar bills and staple them to the walls. It adds so much character and becomes a little activity in itself--everyone in our group loved it. The food hits the spot, classic bar favorites done right, and the drinks are solid without breaking the bank. Overall, it's just a great hangout spot with good vibes, great prices, and a team that knows how to make you feel welcome. Highly recommend stopping by with friends or a big group.

Great little area in North Charleston. Bars and restaurants up and down the street…read more Madra Rua is a traditional dark, rustic Irish pub. Guinness is on point. Fresh! Ordered the fish and chips. Tasted great. Would have been nice to have had one more piece of fish. The one I had was large but felt it was a small portion. Fries were good. They were the fresh cut, darker, flemsy kind if you know what I mean. I like them but some folks don't. Sat at the bar. Bartender was attentive and food came out quickly.

This came as a nice discovery for me as I am new to the area and still learning where the hot spots are. Inside, the restaurant feels like a traditional Irish pub: dark wood, very dim-lit, regulars pooled around the bar, weird little corners and nooks everywhere. Our server was as nice as can be. Can't go wrong with the Fried Pickles, they hit the spot and were not too breaded. Fries were great. We all ordered the Shepherd's Pie, served with a side of Irish soda bread, each $18. For what you get, I feel it's a little steep. The angus beef was seasoned and cooked beautifully, very moist and not dry at all. However, all three of our meals mostly consisted of mashed potatoes on top and an off-ratio of angus beef on the bottom. It felt unbalanced and did not have nearly enough meat, and all of us had the same experience. The potatoes were dry and not particularly impressive; I expected more from a place billed as a traditional Irish restaurant. Given that I came with two others and we all ordered the same thing, though, I didn't get to try more of their menu and I wouldn't be opposed to going back to try more items on the menu. Maybe it's just not the best thing they have.

Not very good for consumer planning My friend said the fish and chips were good. There was only one person there working and it was lunchtime. The service was good, although slow. We enjoyed the cocktails and beers we had. They've got a nice stage so I'm assuming there's live music as well. We got up there and played around a bit, and the bartender had a fun time laughing at us. Maybe with a constant happy hour menu, we will try it out again!

Wanted a local tap beer, didn't have it. Had a Smithwick's, just as cold and wet. Wanted Irish sausage appetizer, no Irish sausage. No biggie. Waitress was pleasant. Country music playing.

The chips were good and my daughter liked the dip (I'm not a fan of that dip so I didn't have any). She said her hamburger was fine, it looked like the typical 1/2 lb burger that I don't like much, but that's personal preference. My son liked his cheeseburger. I had fish and chips which were pretty good. Service was friendly. They have a game room filled with arcade machines and pool tables, and seemed to have a good assortment of German and Irish beers on tap. Lots of open air seating too. J.Ja

Yes, that kind of welcoming feeling and look. Now for the food which was brought to us by our ever near waitress. The Philly Cheesesteak was on a soft hoagie type of roll, and trust me, soft is better for the bread being served on a Philly. The steak was small cuts mounded up (as in my photo) on top of the melted cheese, with tasteful grilled onions combined in. Trust me, you should order this! I have been here before for a quick beer in an afternoon, but the crowd and servers are different, but this is the first time for ordering food. Finally, an extra was live music by local talent David Orvin. All in all, a good Saturday afternoon!

The back opens up to another bar with outdoor seating, very cool. The bartender out back took our drinks, I forgot her name but she was from California originally, La Jolla area? Anyways, very friendly and was attentive even with all the guests in need. We hung out for hours, meeting locals and enjoying drinks. Decided to order food and they had a cheese dip that was spot on. My wife ordered the steak salad and the steak was overcooked, but when asked how things were, they were quick to make it right, and brought out another steak to fix the issue. 5 stars! I hope they see this review and know that they are doing something right. I do wish they had better merch. I wanted to buy stuff but was told their shirts shrink quite a bit after washing. Bummer.

Listen, it's a great bar. The courtyard is nice. There is an ample amount of options for drinks…read more But... What does that matter if you're ushered out before closing? A group of about 8 of us went out for drinks Saturday (5/2/26). We were having a great time (respectful, quiet, not causing a problem). Last call hit at 1:30 so we decided one more drink before we went our ways home. 10 mins later we're were asked to leave the courtyard and head inside - not a problem. We will finish our drinks inside. 5 minutes after that, we were asked to take our last sips and leave. 15 mins before the posted closing time. Again, we weren't causing a problem, weren't loud, weren't disruptive. This was a group of 8, most of us well into our 40s (or older). But they were telling all guests to leave at 1:45a?? Just after we bought drinks? The posted hours say they close at 2a. Not 1:45a. Most of us left half finished drinks. The large bouncer was nice enough, the tiny one in a hoodie with glasses was totally unprofessional. So beware. The Blind Tiger has what it takes to remain a Charleston institution. Their staff, might ruin that chance.
