Went a little past midnight for some drinks. Didn't have all the options available for the weird drinks my brother ordered, but they made us what they could and it was well balanced and tasted pretty good. Talented bar staff that are able to quickly make an actually good tasting drink while crazy busy. Crowded and loud with live music and people dancing. But good vibes. They had free water up front for the drunk people stumbling out of the bars. I love this. And a hotdog vendor was setup on the street right outside. read more

Overall, very disappointed in the experience our group had here. The general feel of the place is cool; that's the best thing that could be said here. Our server greeted at the door and seemed great at first. We had immediate issues when our orders were brought out in a weird order and included items that we didn't realize would be included with it. The entrées themselves were extremely small and not worth the money; that was just including the parts that were actually decent to eat. We had some people on our group that had some food/dietary limitations that were not addressed when we ordered the food/not clearly stated enough on the menu, and when we politely address these to the server, he became very cold and rude. It took ages to get the replacement food out, and the server even tossed one of the plates onto the table and some of the food fell off of it and he did nothing to fix it. I have rarely seen experience as unprofessional and outright hostile before in an establishment like this, and to say that I was shocked with the severe understatement. To summarize: this was not a good experience whatsoever and none of us will be returning here again. read more

I could waste my time writing a paragraph about how many times I've been here while in LA and it is ALWAYS and I mean ALWWWWWWAYSSSS the most terrible service. I am 34 years old and have never been to a worse establishment in my god given life. Tonight was the last straw i will never come to this place ever again. Terrible service, if you get food they make you pay for it before you eat... and tip before they serve how stupid is that? And like I said the service is A B SO L U T L E Y ... T E R R I B L E E E E E E E E... Tell those employees at your establishment to open their eyes and ears and FOCUS... pay attention and learn how to service your visitors. Jesus Christ. read more

Really disappointing experience all around. We were charged $70 for five shots (equivalent to maybe 2), yet the total volume poured looked like it would not even equal two proper shots. I honestly do not think each one was even 20 ml. It was far below a standard 1 oz 30 ml pour per shot and looked more like something you would measure cough syrup with. The amount served was completely disproportionate to what we were charged and it ultimately felt like a scam. To make it worse, the shots were served in plastic cups that were smaller than a NyQuil dose cup, which made the whole thing feel even more ridiculous given the price. If you are charging premium bar prices, at least pour a proper amount and serve it in real glassware. On top of that, the attitude from the bartenders and much of the staff was rude and dismissive. This was not just my opinion. Our entire group felt the same way, and we even heard similar complaints from other patrons while we were there. What is most frustrating is that this still has not been made right. There has been no meaningful resolution and no accountability. Extremely disappointing and not the pub experience you would expect. read more

It is a big Irish pub. They have indoor and outdoor seating, as well as second floor area, which is sometimes open. Food was OK. Restrooms looked somewhat clean. Service was actually good. And they have TVs almost everywhere to show all kinds of sports read more

My sister and I had SO much fun here!!! We were in Santa Monica for an event and this was one of the featured businesses. After the event was over we came right back because the vibes were amazing. The Dj was playing the perfect mix of millenial faves, atmosphere was party but not rowdy, and they had both playoff games on (NBA and NHL). Can't wait to come back! read more

Our server was Paula and this is one of the worst server I have encountered. She ignored us and after we asked another server to assist she went to le Paula know and we witnessed her telling Paula we wanted to order she never bothered stopping by. After 10 minutes I asked for the Manage. The Manger justifies her behavior and seemed to excuse it, very dismissive. I hate that I had already spend money in this place with such bad service. Avoid Paula if you ever try to enjoy a beer in this establishment. read more

No brainer sports bar to go in Santa Monica/ Venice area. We came here on a Monday night, it's easier to get a drink. Service is never magnificent here but it's a decent spot to hang out with friends and have conversations over happy hours BOGO drinks. I got an Irish coffee mocktail (basically coffee), and it's not bad. I was surprised it's better than the coffee at Starbucks with a cheaper price. My friend got a cider it's nice when you come here during happy hours, the drinks are buy 1 get 1 free! Ambience is decent Irish bar vibe, sometimes they have karaoke nights where it gets super loud. Weekends are crowded too. Casual spot that you could show up in jeans and hoodies. read more

Jamieson is everything you want in a neighborhood pub! It's rustic, cozy and vibrant. With a versatile menu with daily specials to excellent happy hour drink specials, this is the old reliable! You can go anytime of the day and find yourself a spot inside or outside. Great place to watch sports, and even join in for a live band. Make sure to have your ID with you. The staff are wonderful and efficient - highly recommended! read more

I love me a good Irish bar. Especially one that I can comfortably watch the Celtics play in LA at. ;) Coming from Boston, there's no happy hour here so I was pleasantly surprised that there was a buy one get one happy hour special going on when we sat. We ordered a dirty Shirley, angry orchard, and Michelob ultra amongst the 3 of us and got 6 drinks to the table at once. Obvi it's a little excessive lol but it was such a vibe. Highly recommend the pretzel with cheese. So good. Also the Irish nachos over fries were yummy too. We also got the peanut butter shots - a must try here. read more

Really solid sports bar. This location's been around for a long time. I'm a fan because they don't charge cover fee for the UFC fights. It's been a while since I've actually tried to watch UFC fights at bars, so I'm not sure if any of them cover anymore, but it was pretty awesome that they didn't. Other than that, the space is pretty huge and it could get really crowded really fast. It's in a high traffic area. The beers and drinks themselves are pretty standard. I would say at sports bar and I don't mean that as a bad thing. With crowded bars, I usually get worried about getting served, but the folks here are pretty solid and on top of it. read more

Went on a Sunday afternoon with a relative who is a Santa Monica local. A guy with long dark hair, who seemed like the host, never greeted us or even bothered to make eye contact. Our waitress never cracked a smile or greeted us. She just took our order, as if we were infringing upon her time, then had us pay in advance. The cheeseburger was decent. The fries were really good. But overall, bad experience. Also, the women's bathroom didn't have toilet tissue. read more

Great place to stop by for beer and food day or night. Love the interior so much. The service was amazing too. Great music too.

I've been coming to this Irish pub since it was called Finn McCools. Not exactly sure when the name changed but everything else including the drinks, food and vibes have stayed the same. Jameson's pub offers drinks and food at a reasonable price. This location has been my go to during the Summers while bar hopping. Since my main restaurant in the area has been closed down, Jameson's has taken over as my go to location on Main st. I do avoid sports nights as the place can get pretty crazy packed. The most recent visit was during the Men's USA basketball final game. There was no where to sit or even walk through. There were loud cheers heard from several stores down. Tons of people were gathered and they even have a couple of bouncers just to make sure things aren't too crazy. Since Jameson's is a first come first served seating situation, it can become tricky to find a table on popular nights. Parking: metered parking lot. metered street parking, free parking in the neighborhood (if you are willing to walk) VERDICT: Rinse and repeat read more

The bouncer is so rude it makes me actually never want to go back. I asked if I could sit and get fries and a coke and he said no since I forgot my ID, totally fine I understand. So instead I ordered fries for pickup online since that's all I really wanted anyway. I go back over when they're supposed to be ready and he's pissed at me and says he's not going to let me in to get them, I said I actually don't care if I go in I just want to pickup the food I paid for and he's still being very rude. The whole experience was just bad and I really was not trying to be difficult or break any rules, genuinely just wanted to spend money on something to go and leave. read more

Fun Irish pub on a busy Main street, love the happy hour. It's buy one get one free. The inside is nice and they have an outside patio as well. We did not try the food this time, but a lot of people were eating. read more

Food was pretty good. I had the bbq chicken sandwich and it was very filling. Husbands had tacos and he enjoyed them: especially for a non-Mexican place. Drinks and service were good and atmosphere was nice with plenty of seating at tables, bar, and outside. We parked behind the building. read more

got the crappy chicken salad and it was tiny ! for being almost $20 I was expecting the portion to be double the size. The quality of the food was OK. Service was fine, but definitely portion was tiny and definitely not worth the price. Probably won't be going back. read more

The two for one happy hour gets really packed with lots of young kids, but it gives everyone a great time to come and enjoy a Don Julio for half price, the chicken tenders are ready to die for adults and children. The staff is always busy., they try their best. And they kick ass.. the strawberry salad is underrated, but to die for as well. Gerard makes the best Irish coffee. read more

Visiting from Houston - this place is ALWAYS packed - and i see why! We stopped in for brunch / lunch - decided on the lunch menu. Bloody Mary was just spicy enough. The Mango Cart on draft had a nice citrus taste. Steak fries...how can you go wrong! We both LOVED our sandwich selections - but could easily have split one - the portions are very generous! The staff were super nice and attentive. Definitely stopping by again during my next trip. read more

I like the way it's laid out and the live music is really cool. Can get too packed though.

I've posted before, love that they have zero Guinness. I was there tonight for their happy hour, too many drinks later (not driving), I left my wallet and phone on the table...went back and they had it behind the bar. Can't say enough good things about my local pub, great staff, great food and great music. read more

Loved this place. I went on Sunday and took someone who is a Celtics fan. The vibe was fun, and food was surprisingly good. We ordered sliders, fried chicken, fries, and coleslaw. We don't really frequent pubs so it was cool to actually get handed 2 drinks when ordered one. I really enjoyed the vibe. After we went I was checking their IG and saw a Wednesday all you can eat Prime Rib meal. Well, we decided it to check it out. And honestly the meal was so good, better than some $60 dollar steaks I've had. Had some wine. And I ordered a second steak and believed there would be some catch to the all you can eat --but no, we got a second plate. Game was on, in big TV waitress was super nice and fast. We also had fun playing shuffle board. For sure I will back. Keep it up! read more

Worst bartender I've met and actually the grossest encounter the bartender was so rude and hrs was the one WITHOUT the man bun:

Horrible. Drinks are overpriced, and would not let my friend in for no reason (had the correct ID, was not overly drunk) just because the bouncer had an attitude. Would not recommend if you want to have a fun time or relax on the weekends. Food is pretty ass too. read more

Not much for the price for corned beef plate but other places do not offer it at all. My neighbor had more meat and when I ordered to go as well and asked to have enough meat they just charged me extra $10 for more meat. Also on St Patrick's day they did not air in the bar no U2 nor Cranberries! What a shame! Not going back there. read more

Went to jameson's pub on a Thursday, and a friend of mine was rejected because she was "too intoxicated." She was talking to the bouncer, walking in a straight line, making eye contact, and acting like a normal person. We had all been drinking but were not overly intoxicated in ANY way. Since when can't people that are of the appropriate age not drink when going to a bar??? I don't understand the issue at all. It seemed like the issue was racism from my perspective. When we asked for the manager he was also rude and dismissive. He didn't even try to explain the reasoning behind refusing service. I am livid beyond belief and will not be coming back. read more

This seems like a fun place to hangout with friends, even if it's a random weekday night as they have different specials and events depending on the day. The servers are very nice, too. The inside was definitely very crowded and loud, and it was hard to hear each other while dining inside. I think because of the noise level, a lot of our order came incorrect; however, the staff did end up comping some of the meal to make up for it, which we appreciated. The food was good and not expensive at all compared to other restaurants in the area. I ordered the chicken/apple/brie sandwich, which was tasty and less than $14 for a decently sized sandwich. The portobello fries were also good and crispy, and came with a couple dips. You do have to self-serve water, though, which can be a little annoying (especially when it's crowded). All in all, I would definitely return with friends one day for a chill hangout at night. read more

I ordered something small - the prime rib chili basket and it was delicious. I wish I could pay a little more money for a bigger serving but was still happy with it. My friend got the prime rib entree with extra meat and he said he wouldn't get it again. It was overcooked and didn't seem like actually prime rib. I forgot to take a pic, but tend to agree that it was overcooked for typical prime rib. read more
