Stopped by for a soccer game, it was busy but in the best way!! Even though it was busy, they found us a spot right away and everyone was well attended to. If you're looking to feel good energy during an exciting soccer game, I definitely recommend this place. There were two sections so if you're looking for less noise and energy, there's also a spot for you! read more

Went for happy hour, huge spot and very fun post renovation The fries were crispy golden to perfection, it was a cozy Friday night and it's located in a great spot. We ordered a Guinness and an allagash white. It got crowded around 6 and it accommodated every group no problems finding seats for walk ins. The hostess was sweet and I'm looking forward to coming back for st pattys and with another group of friends for sure! You should go for a drink or for a yummy pit stop :) read more

A few of us spontaneously stopped by on Black Friday evening after watching a late movie at the theater nearby. The exterior was decked out in holiday frills, and the freshly painted evergreen made it look incredibly festive. Inside, it looked like a typical pub, and it was packed, much to our surprise. We figured all the Arlington transplants had gone home for the holidays, but then again, the four of us aren't from the area either, so I guess that checks out haha. We were seated upon arrival at one of the high-tops near the bar. Ireland's Four Courts is known as one of the well-known local sports bar, and they had the UT vs. A&M football game playing on multiple screens. The crowd was really into it, and if that's what you're here for, it's definitely a vibe. We ordered some late-night snacks, and a couple of us grabbed drinks: PROSECCO - 12 The prosecco is from Lamberti, Italy -- no idea what that means for quality since I don't drink much. I thought it was OK to sip on here and there, nothing special. I wouldn't recommend chugging it. That was... not a good time. IRISH SAUSAGE ROLL - 12 Each order comes with two sausage rolls wrapped in a thick layer of puff pastry. Sadly, the pastry was incredibly soggy tasted far from fresh. It stuck to the sausage in a mushy way and wasn't even warm. Yucky. The sausage itself was fine, but it was too fused with the soggy pastry to enjoy. FOUR COURTS CHEESE FRIES - 13 The portion size was huge -- we were worried we wouldn't finish it. The fries were more "potato-y" than crispy, and they were the thicker shoestring type. They were smothered with cheddar cheese that had already solidified, so it wasn't warm at all. Most fries didn't even get any cheese since it wasn't spread well. There were barely any bacon bits -- maybe only like 12 fries had them. Generally, I'll eat any fry as long as there's ketchup, so I just drenched them. Overall, pretty subpar food. The interior is lively, so I'd recommend stopping by if you're here for the vibe and the sports, but definitely not for the sausage roll or cheese fries. read more

Some friends and I were in town for a Capitals game. This is a large pub. We did not have any food here but had a few rounds of drinks. They have several Irish beers along with other options. The waitress was nice as well. My understanding is that they have a large crowd on Sunday mornings for soccer games which sounds like a good time! read more

I've been many times. I always meet people and have a good time. They know how to pour a Guinness. The staff is always helpful.

Always slow down and check your receipt. Pay attention to the tipping options. I came for happy hour with a sizeable group of friends and we noticed after we paid that our waiter did not give us happy hour prices. We didn't order everything off the happy hour menu. For what we paid the service was slow. We were waited long periods of time before he came to check on us and take our orders. While I enjoy the ambiance of this location especially with friend, the customer service was not what I've experienced in the past. read more

The food was very good- I got a chicken caesar wrap and it had lots of flavor. We also got the spicy nachos... CHEF KISS. Can't wait to go back and watch some pigskin! read more

Corned beef egg roll? Just had to try them -- and they are FABULOUS! Those along with the fried pickles were great examples of how attentive frying and flavorful accents can bring simple apps to the next level! Spacious remodeled place with classic (and classy) Irish pub decor. Lots of big screens for sports too. Great neighborhood spot! read more

Came in with my roommates to watch march madness. They have a nice large space with plenty of tvs. We started with a round of espresso martinis. I personally give mine a 6/10, it was very sweet for my taste, I usually like my espresso martinis a little more bitter. However, my roommates love theirs with bailey's in it, so they gave them a rating of an 8/10, so definitely just a preference on sweetness level. We split the garlic parmesan fries, and the old bay boneless wings. Both were enough food for the three of us, however, the fries were very wet, we think they were just loaded with too much parmesan and garlic. They would have been great if they were crispier. The old bay wings were a little dry and not our favorite. The carrots and celery that came with them were delicious and very fresh. I think next time i'll try the burger, as our other roommate joined us later and for the burger and loved it. It was a nice size portion and came with a side. Our bartender was very nice, attentive, and a lot of fun to talk to. I highly recommend coming and watching games here, the restaurant is lively and they can accommodate large parties. As well as they do trivia nights and karaoke nights which seem like fun! read more

Came with some friends to watch the soccer game on a Sunday morning. I'm not the biggest fan of Irish food but I actually really did enjoy the chicken boxty for brunch! A nice hearty dish with a great flavor and full of chicken. Comes with a salad as well. Despite the packed restaurant my dish came out in a timely manner. The atmosphere was full of people paying attention to the game. read more

Came in today to watch Arsenal/Man City. Got here a bit late but was able to grab a table in back, great screens and surround sound. Attentive service, tasty food. Good crowd, I think it's an Arsenal bar (too bad, hee hee #ctid). But great atmosphere, next time will get here earlier to sit inside. Solid food, friendly service, Guinness and prosecco flowed to our hearts' content. read more

I always have a great time at Four Courts! This is a great spot to watch a game or just have a night out. It's consistently comfortably crowded at night but not too crowded that you have to wait a long time for a drink. With two bars and multiple bartenders each night, service is good. read more

Good food and service. I love the outdoor vibes during the summer and also love their indoor ambience. Good beer menu and events throughout the week. read more

Arrived early to try to reserve a couple tables for a friend's surprise party. We were expecting 10 people to show, and the manager was so kind to help make sure we had enough space to celebrate our friend's birthday. Our server was wonderful, the food was good, and we had a great time! read more

Cute and cozy Irish pub that has everything you could ask for- great food (chicken curry!), cold Guinness, and amazing vibes. Usually busy so expect a small wait and louder bar but it's busy for a reason! read more

This place has become one of our standards for dinner before catching a movie at the AMC Courthouse, which is a couple of blocks away. The restaurant is warm and welcoming. The staff is friendly and helpful. Most importantly, the food is consistently delicious. My usual choices are a burger, maybe a Ruben sandwich, and occasionally some chicken wings. However, last night, it was cold and rainy, and I tried something more adult, their Chicken Boxty. What a great choice! There were plenty of chicken chunks and onions in a savory curry broth. Underneath it all was a pancake that gave the dish some nice texture. Pro tip: I asked for a couple of slices of their soda bread to further help in sopping up the delicious broth. read more

After being a loyal customer for over four years, I was celebrating a 4-3 Capitals win when a hostess opened her arms for a hug. In the excitement of the moment, I lifted her briefly. She later reported this to management as me picking her up, and as a result, I and my entire group were immediately cut off. I calmly explained the situation to management, but they were firm in their decision despite the context. This was especially disappointing given that we had spent over $1,000 that night alone, and likely well over $30,000 here over the past several years. Dave has always been a fantastic manager and one of the primary reasons we continued coming back. Unfortunately, after Dave left, the new manager chose to take an unnecessarily rigid approach and dismissed us entirely. I am deeply saddened and disappointed by how this was handled, and regrettably, after this interaction, I will not be returning to Ireland's Four Courts. read more

I went here for the Vikings season opener, and the atmosphere was unbeatable! I'm a huge Vikings fan but have struggled finding my people in the DMV area, so this was quite refreshing! The drinks were good and decently priced, and they have a gameday special where you get 5 beers for $25, so I highly recommend it! Lots of TVs. It was super busy so service wasn't always the best, but overall it was still a really great experience! read more

Ultra modern looking Irish style pub. Parking as ever in this area a challenge. Service friendly food pretty standard fare and reasonably priced. Apparently an Uber driver smashed in the front giving the opportunity to rebuild the bar. Irish breakfast perfect for me. Burger ok. read more

I went there last Wednesday with my friends and it was the best experience ever the food and drinks was awesome and the karaoke was great if you are looking for a great night out i recommend this spot their fish and chips is awesome! read more

Nachos: There's two things I hold very dear to my heart: 1. The Republic of Ireland, and 2. Nachos. Although I am not Irish, I sense that being Irish is more so a feeling in your heart than it is anything else. At heart, I am Irish. Entering this pub reminded me of the incredible times I had in my brief journey to the beautiful country of Ireland. This pub was packed, music was great, everything was alive and buzzing. Nachos weren't great but I didn't even realize it at first because I was distracted attempting to eavesdrop on the couple near us. I sense they were on the verge of breaking up. Anyway, the cheese was.. spicy? Weird. It was funky cheese. Skimpy toppings, the scallions were an odd touch. Eh. If you come here with some good company you won't think twice about what you're eating, but I thought twice about the nachos, and they were average. All else: Burger was kinda salty but who cares. Long live Ireland. God bless Ireland. read more

I had the salmon and a side of fries. The salmon was overcooked. Its lemon-caper sauce tasted only of cream, the capers were AWOL. Its accompanying mashed potatoes and vegetables were fine. The vegetables were cooked properly and had no sauce of their own. The fries had far too much salt, which not only do I dislike, but is bad for me and others. It would help if the music were turned down so I wouldn't have had to wear ear protection. The food came out rapidly. The gluten-free options are limited and not shown on the menu. I had to ask. read more

My favorite spot in courthouse to grab a beer. Ambiance is great, updated interior after the fire a few years ago. Still feels like an Irish pub but more modern. Alot of tvs by the bar. Quick service and live music some nights. I really liked the marble bread. Corn beef was melted together really nicely with the cheese, sauerkraut, and dressing. read more

Four Courts has quickly become our go-to spot for watching sports and having fun. Everything we've had on the menu has been a hit, truly no duds which is impressive. And the portions are huge! We were coming often to watch the soccer tournaments and it was always packed because it's a really fun vibe. The staff are also so nice and attentive. Truly not a bad word to say about this restaurant. read more

I recalled the food at the pub at one time to be surprising in it's individual takes on the classic pub grub. There was a twist that would spark your choices to widen and encouraged returning in short time. My last pass through left me with a plate that seemed "phoned in" as the sandwich (corned beef) suffered the dressing oil to be the overwhelming taste and not the beef. The kraut I will admit was tangy and rinsed before it could saturate everything else. Frozen potatoes are the normal. Service was there, it will be easier to pass on the Courts but the memories of what once had been fade into another large TV room with beer. read more

Irish pub that does has a sports bar vibe too. Their wings are spot on. I like to get the old bay ones. This spots usually packed if there's ever a big game. On saturdays or Sundays I'd check to see if any big games are going on before trying to come. read more

This Irish bar is a great place to grab a pint and some top-notch bar food. They also show all the European sports, and it gets packed on Sunday mornings! read more

Came here for the first time today for the Arsenal Liverpool match and it was packed. The place is much bigger on the inside than you would expect. Every seat was still taken, with plenty of people standing. Nonetheless, I was shocked on how great the service was. We ordered beers. We got beers fast. We ordered food. We got food fast. My friend ordered steak and eggs but we think he got someone else's food bc he didn't order a side of baked beans and his eggs were supposed to be scrambled instead of over easy.. they brought out a small plate of scrambled eggs in less than two minutes. Overall great experience. Would recommend. read more

We always have a great time at Ireland four courts! The nachos with chili is always a winner and yummy. This time we got the chicken boxty and chicken curry dishes and they were beyond delicious.

I'd rate this place a 10 if I could. The staff is hardworking, professional, and very friendly (if you think otherwise then I can only assume that you were likely rude or disrespectful). The food is exactly what you would expect from an Irish pub and always consistent. Beer is cold and they pour an excellent Guinness. Plenty of entertainment - whether you want bingo, trivia, karaoke or just a place to watch a game, you can't go wrong here. read more

This is one of my favorite places in the neighborhood. It reminds me of my favorite college bar called Grog in Bethlehem PA. The fries with old bay spice is fantastic. Maggie is the best waitress I've had there by far. Such attentive service by the whole staff. They know how to pour a Guinness for sure. Wings are yummy. Never hard to get a drink quickly. Clean bathrooms. read more

Dave, Paddy, Mary and the rest of the crew are the best. They show pretty much any soccer game, and the food is great. Highly recommend it.

Had a large group come in after an event. The restaurant was all set up for us. The staff was outstanding, friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding, hot and plentiful. I felt the staff went out of it's way to take care of our party. If I lived in the area, I'd be here once a week at least. It also had a great mix of families, professionals and folks having a good time. Great Place. read more

I travel a lot, and I am of a generation where a certain level of customer service is to be expected. The bartender, Mary, (who is from "charm city" which a fellow patron informs me is Baltimore) is what I believe a bartender should be. Engaging, efficient, with a perfect combination of "I am friendly, but I still won't tolerate any bullshit". Thank you for the phenomenal dining experience, Ireland's Four Corners. And oh yeah, the chicken boxty was pretty good, too. read more

Good place. I think they've cut the done the hours, but they've been consistent and steady on Staff/Service/Food/Guiness and Football. Call ahead, I think they still open early for premire league games, and they are lots of fun for happy hours. read more

The Courts is now open again. After a year of hard work, what started off as a tragedy has become a demonstration of what a community is capable of doing. This bar has created a family and now that family is back together. My family was attending this restaurant before I was born. Over my 27 years of life, this place has had the kindest staff and the most amazing regulars. It is so incredible to see them operating again. The Washington Post has ranked it one of the Top 10 places to watch Premier League soccer. They have genuine tasty Irish cuisine. I highly suggest everybody should stop by and check this place out. I know it will have the same impact on you that it had on me. read more
