Maybe we are some of the fortunate ones? We have always been waited on promptly and been treated well by the staff so no issues there. I must admit we only have been here for lunch. Seems that, being a pub in a college town it could get "meh" for my tastes at night. I will make one comment that could be misconstrued for an old man comment - it seems to be run by the college staff. It isn't bad, but just not as clean, or professionally managed, and doesn't have that "something" that your get from a place where the staff is driven by pride. But again, that is not a unique problem in Carrollton dining. Food is good. Some of it is just not my favorite but anything with the Guinness BBQ sauce is a must try. Corned beef and cabbage is good pub fare as is the shepherds pie. Sweet potato fries are my favorite side, but wish they had a savory sauce to dip instead of just honey. We have friends from Chicago that come into town and ask to go here. They always comment on the solid food and lovely old building. read more

Went in about an hour before the start of a concert. Sat at the bar. Ordered drinks which came fairly quickly. However, also ordered an app, Maytag chips. Had the bartender check 3 times. After waiting over 30 minutes, we gave up and left. They were a little busy but we have been there when they were much busier and did not have to wait this long for a simple appetizer. read more

Went there today but they weren't open. Their sign said that they were open from 11:00am-2:00am. There were 6 other people that walked up when we did so they lost some sales today. 8-26-26 read more

Mixed feelings. Got there at 7pm on a Tuesday to try a new place. The Good: corner downtown location. Trivia offered. Friendly staff. Good sweet tea. (Husband liked the Dr. Robot draft beer) The bad: bathroom door to women's restroom propped open with 4 beer buckets catching leaks? One of the 2 inside bathroom doors wouldn't lock. Spinach dips and cheese dips weren't hot but chips were ok. Cheese sticks and poppers just average. Chicken tenders wouldn't even finish one to eat (hard, colder and not a good taste). Might go back for trivia and give something else a try but not impressed with the food. read more

Irish Bred Pub - Dublin Sampler - Irish Near Me - Carrollton, Georgia

I think this place only benefits from the overflow from a neighboring restaurant that is far superior. My dad has always advised me not to eat here. Today I thought what the heck. The Bloody Mary wasn't bad, I'll admit. Great value, too. I ordered the corned beef and cabbage since it's an Irish pub. The potatoes were boiled and not seasoned at all. Plain boiled potatoes. No butter, no salt, nothing. The cabbage was nothing but salt and tasted like it came out of a can. The corned beef was okay, but way overcooked and dry. My husband had the fish and chips. So greasy. We both left so much food on our plate that the server thought we hadn't touched it at all. Have a drink here, but skip the food. read more

Irish Bred Pub - Bloody Mary. - Irish Near Me - Carrollton, Georgia

Well. I don't know. At the end of the meal (maybe 1/3 to half eaten) I asked the server if people generally liked their food. After too long of a pause they said 50-50. Offered to get the manager which I declined because we were going to pay and tip well (not the server's fault). Passed along that the food was bad - processed, frozen, from a mix. We were really hungry when we came in so I suppose if you're really hungry you might appreciate it - but like it? Can't imagine. Oh and one of the staff ran across the street for tacos, so while we didn't go so can't recommend it, I think the staff would recommend the taco place. This place might be in need of a Gordon Ramsey kitchen nightmare visit. read more

I've eaten in this restaurant many times. It has always been very yummy. The servers have always treated me politely and diligent.

Irish Bred Pub - What's the food - Irish Near Me - Carrollton, Georgia

Great location and good food. Service was excellent. In a large party but we were accommodated quickly and service for everyone was attentive and efficient. Great downtown location to enjoy. Parking garage is nearby. read more

We went here for lunch. I ordered corned beef and cabbage and an order of lemon pepper chicken wings they were accommodating as far as giving me flats only and the chicken wings were awesome kind of a little lemony but that's the expected with lemon pepper rub. The corned beef and cabbage I liked except the corned beef was very dry the cabbage was good and my roommate had a black bean quesadilla that she said was delicious so if you ever want to go they're good they're a little hole in the wall in Georgia that we happened to stumble upon and we enjoyed it. read more

We ordered our lunch on 4/30/25. There was basically the only server. She also tended bar. We had a fish sandwich and a Reuben. When we were ordering, she said our main entree came with one side. My wife ordered sweet potato fries and I ordered a salad. (Mind you she said " Your entry "comes" with one side. So I asked her what side do I can I choose from? So I chose a salad. So we're eating our lunch and by the way, she's not very attentive at all. I asked her to get me some extra thousand island dressing for my Reuben and waited 6 minutes before I had to remind her and she says "oh I forgot". So we get the bill and we're charged three dollars and two dollars for our sides. Before you go to this restaurant you better read the fine print because I'm gonna put up what it says and what we were charged. But we're not gonna go back there so it doesn't matter and by the way, she got no tip. Her tip was the three dollars and two dollars that they charged us For something that was supposed to come with a meal without charge. So anyway the food is good. The service is bad. And if you're gonna tell a customer something tell them they're gonna be charged and therefore it does not come with that. Yes, it does come with it but there's a charge. read more

Irish Bred Pub - Their menu. Served with choice of one side and a deal pickle. Which we did not even get we didn't even get the dill pickle. - Irish Near Me - Carrollton, Georgia

The service was good and staff were very nice and friendly. The ambience is almost like a real pub. One wall is brick with wood booths and nice tables. The bar area is beautiful. Now we go to the most important part ,the food. 5 out 10 rating , just disappointed and very little flavor, I will go back and give this place a second chance I love supporting local business. read more

Excellent food! Great service!! Would definitely come back if we end up in the area! Lots to pick from on the menu!

Food good as far as bar food goes. Though the Irish stew is a step above :-)) College town so usually packed read more

What a horrible experience! We arrived and the young lady gave us directions to the upstairs patio for dining. We were greeted by another college aged girl who was very nice and pointed us in the right direction. We seated ourselves and then proceeded to wait for a server...and we waited..and waited...for 30 minutes. The server finally arrived and said "I tried my bes to avoid you all, but now I'm here". Okay, that may be a fine way to act with your college cronies, but my husband and I are far from college aged. She asked for our drink order and we ordered Bud Lite and Boston Lager. She stated she was the bartender but didn't know about Boston Lager. She then trotted off. We waited...for 10 more minutes, then decided to leave. She came after us and said we would need to pay for the beer. Nope! Servers, the least you can do is know your audience and be halfway professional. I just hope that her college focus has NOTHING to do with a "People" job because she will be living on skid row. On a good note, we walked to Tratorria Italian Bistro and it was FABULOUS! Was thrilled to tip our server nicely. read more

My friends and I (21) went out to for a fun night and we ordered a round of lemon drop shots. Well I guess the bartender (Sofia) thought it was a great idea to swap on of those shots for a rumple shot. Which quickly ended and ruined our night. I have NEVER experienced something like this and refuse to go back! DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

First off want to say I really like this establishment. I've been coming here for 8+ years now. We get great service and mostly sit at the bar when we come. I only have a complaint about the boneless wings. I've given the boneless wings multiple chances but I can't anymore. They lack actual chicken in the cuts, extremely salty, and fried way too hard. They "chicken" pieces feel like chicken jerky. The picture I have uploaded is what I am taking home to feed to my dogs and I ate the pieces that I could because I was really hungry. I will definitely be back because like I've said, love everything else about the pub! read more

Food was amazing and the ambiance of this place is so cool! Feels like you could have walked into a real pub in Ireland.

Food was great. I had the boneless wings & kettle chips takeout. Everything was cooked perfectly. Service was great & order was ready when promised. read more

Not enough data to comment. The waitress was amiable and the upstairs balcony overlooking the town square was great but the atmosphere was spoiled by the loud trivia clues coming from the game host downstairs. We had only a glass of wine and it was nice. read more

From previous positive reviews, I have to say we were disappointed. I can completely respect that it's probably a fun place to hang out, eat appetizers and drink beer with your friends. I, too, was young once, and had low standards. Lunch sucked, frankly. The bartender/server, bless her heart, probably meant well, but as an old school server (OSS) from back in the day, I chalk the not-so-great service up to lack of training. I'm pretty forgiving. She was pleasant and kept our glasses filled. I believe my date tipped her well, because he's not a jerk. I'll leave it at that. First of all, this place is an accident waiting to happen. Our barstools were literally starting to fall apart. If I was a large person I would not want to sit in those chairs. They're going to collapse one day. My date used the restroom. He said the hardwood floor leading to the restrooms was slick with oil from the kitchen, and to be careful if I went up there. We each had a house salad (fresh, good sized, tasty; the prep cooks might want to consider tearing the lettuce into smaller chunks, not chopping it into large chunks), an order of good jalapeño poppers, and split an order of the greasiest, grossest fish and chips ever. Literally swimming in a pool of grease. I used two napkins to blot the grease off. We gamely tried to eat it but couldn't. (Service note: our server checked on us to see if all was good, good on her, before we tried the fish. An OSS would notice when picking up plates that the main dish was blotted, picked at, and abandoned. In fact, an OSS wouldn't have carried that disgusting plate to the table to begin with). Finally, apparently there is a surcharge for credit card purchases, too, that is a bonus surprise when you get the bill. We saw that nowhere in the menu up front. My date did not show me the tab, so I don't know how much it was, but that alone would keep us from coming back. We would've gotten better fish and chips at Captain D's. read more

Naaaaah man. This place isn't good. I mean, the town seems to not have many options, but this is a not-good one. Our waitress seemed 'inconvenienced' by our presence. The jalepeno poppers are listed to come with chips and salsa, but when they arrived without the salsa and we requested it, she seemed perplexed that we would want what was posted on the menu. She even said, "We've always served it without." She brought it to us, but was visibly annoyed that we wanted what was advertised. We mostly wanted the salsa, because the poppers just... weren't good. We also ordered the BLT with avocado and it was an entirely forgettable experience. We didn't get a pleasant interaction with our server until she came to notify us that her shift was over and we insisted on closing our tab so that we could tip her out. Her tone was much more chipper after that. I dunno... just seems like a dive bar that makes its money selling jager shots to kids on the weekend. None of this food seemed to have any pride behind it, and the service left everything to be desired. Visited a number of locations while we were here that I'd go to eat at before this place. read more

Never again. When a person goes in and is clearly drinking the cheapest beer available, to be edgy and deceptive about the price of some featured liquor is self-defeating, misleading, and in this case, clearly racist. I asked several times about the price of the featured liquor, only for the check to display a completely different amount, not at all the kind of money in my budget. Nobody goes from a $3 beer to a double digit priced liquor. Adamson Square offers many better options for your money and your time. read more

This place is such a nightmare. From the poorly run staff to the poorly tasting food. This place survives because of the many underage college kids that drink here during the weekends (not even the worst of the problems this place has) . So many bad vibes, so many bad things have taken place here. I've given this place multiple opportunities to sway my opinion but I just have to chalk it up to what it is- a college bar that has unsafe and unsanitary problems. read more

If I was asked of one place to avoid in downtown Carrollton, Ga, it would be this place. The food was so bad I was having to hold my stomach trying to get it down. The service was extremely slow and nothing about this meal was worth the $15-17. The food was cold, the chicken was chewy and there was something questionable in the bottom of the sweet tea. I also slammed my foot in the door and started bleeding out. Maybe I should have held the door open longer, but I expected it to stay open, just as any door would. There should at least be a stopper. I felt so sick from this open gash in my foot that when I went to the bathroom to clean up I was in disbelief. The paper towels were so thin that I could see my own reflection in the mirror through it. To any newcomers, this is your sign to try somewhere else. read more

So this is one of those places where you go for the drinks and happen to eat because you drank too much. The place isn't very well overly well maintained. Our servers were nice enough but the food is just not good. Everything is either frozen to table or deep fried to a crisp. Go for the drinks eat the wings if you must .....avoid everything else. Fish n chips are also ok enough to eat. read more

We have eaten at the Pub several times over the past 3 years. Previously, the food and service have been good. We dined in on a Sunday at 11:30am. We waited over an hour and 30 minutes for our food. The manager came out and apologized for the wait. Once we received our food, it was cold and rubbery like it sat under a warmer for a while. I'm sad that the service has gone down, but more concerned with the safety of the food at this point. There are regulations for food service and safe serving temperatures. I hope they can turn things around. We were given 20% off our bill. Still wasn't worth the price. The positive from our experience: the wait staff is very friendly. read more

Awesome food and great casual place to hang out. Service is good. I would definitely recommend having a meal and drinks with friends and family read more

Best food n service on the square. We live the food and prompt service. We go at least twice per week.

ordered take out today from them and my husband ordered corn beef and cabbage and it was over 90 percent fat. I did reach out to them and they offered to make it right. read more

Nice location. We sat upstairs on the balcony and what a great view of the little town. Even on a hot day, it was cool enough under the ceiling fans & in the shade to enjoy al fresco. I was disappointed in the menu. Classic Irish items like bangers and mash - what I was hoping to eat - was missing from the menu. They also use Basa/Swai [garbage fish] for the fish and chips, instead of cod or haddock. We started with an order of onion rings, which is actually a side. They were out of a box, but beer battered so they had a good flavor and there were enough to share between two people. I had the Rueben - which they call a Kerry, but it doesn't make it any more Irish. It was perfect! Thick slices of corned beef, ample dressing & sauerkraut, served on toasted marble rye. It was a large sandwich and it came with a large amount of fries. My biggest problem was the service was terribly slow. We were there on a late Saturday afternoon, long after lunch and long before dinner, but it took forever for our waitress to get anything done. We had to ask someone else if they'd check on our food & refill drinks, because we hadn't seen her in 30 minutes. I'd try it again, but not if I wanted Irish food. They have a big bar food menu, with lots of appetizer and burger options. The view was worth the trouble. read more

The Rubin was very tasty. The Corn-beef was cut into chunks not sliced. Would order again.

This is my fave place to grab some brews out here in town. Most restaurants have come and died around here but not this one... it's been here for a while now. I havent eaten much of their stuff but whatever I have tried, so far it is pretty ok. I havent had any bad experience with the staff or the place. Me n hubby usually come here with friends over pitchers of beer and a good time. They recently added a balcony on the second floor so that more people can sit outside and we enjoy it. They dont have a large selection of beer, but Im more of a domestic beer kinda gal so it is all good. Now, on Thursday night this place can either be a fun or bad experience for ya. When I was a freshman in college this was the spot for me! haha, dancing and downing shots, and thats how other freshman kids feel about this place till this day. When you go here nowadays, the place is really loud and the upstairs dance floor is now smells like desperate sex and cigarette smoke... which depending on what night it is for you, this maybe fun haha. But nowadays, sometimes nights are better spent on a restaurant patio with good jazz music and some martinis... but yeah. if ur in town. stop by, have a pitcher. it's all good. read more

Was out for a friends birthday last night and chose to give Irish bred pub some of our business as we bar hopped for the night. We were there for a few hours having food and drinks. We left to try out a few more places but before calling it a night we stopped back by for a quick restroom visit and to possibly have one more drink. During this time the bartender started yelling at our group shouting to "get the F out"! Apparently they had closed and we had no clue that was the case. It was completely uncalled for and sudden. Very unprofessional for an employee to shout obscenities at paying customers. Very disappointing end to our night. Food was below mediocre and drinks were over poured. We won't be back to this trashy place. read more

Very tasty food, large servings and great selection. Atmosphere was very nice, not too loud or crowded. The beer selection was very good, and very cold! Our server was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. I would definitely recommend this place. read more
