Shout out for the patience and perseverance Will definitely be be back read more

Beers are crazy expensive here now. Even at happy hour. I noticed they don't have a beer menu with prices anywhere. That's for a reason. read more

Great Happy Hour with friends on a very hot Winter afternoon! Cold beers really hit the spot! We enjoyed Onion Rings and lots of street tacos. Thursday Tacos! Always a great selection of beers! Alex was our server and he was very friendly and helpful! He checked on us often. read more

Good and relaxing environment with festive atmosphere. The food was decent and fair priced. I had the patty melt and salad plate. It was average at best. On 2nd Street in an easy to get to spot. Parking is along the street and free. Sports on the multiple TVs along the walls. Will return with buddies. read more

This used to be "The Meeting Place", bless George. We miss him, his spirt of immense enthusiasm and joy that made KC's so special. New owner, new crowd, food quality has definitely been degraded. read more

Ordered a lunch delivery on GrubHub from KC Branigan's pub I chose the half of corn beef sandwich with fries? The corn beef is definitely an Irish corn beef versus a deli, corned beef. The corned beef has a much more beef flavor, and not a heavy garlic flavor, which I really enjoyed. The corn beef is very lean and has a hardy chew to it. They give you a hearty amount of beef on the sandwich. The Ryebread is delicious. The french fries are cooked extremely well and delicious taste. I would definitely order the 1/2 sandwich again . read more

So, not sure what's going on, but apparently the restaurant hours are flexible. So if the bartender decides to close the kitchen, they do. I walked in with a few others, and the bartender ignored us and closed the kitchen. Then I proceeded to watch multiple door dash orders turned away because the bartender decided to close the kitchen. So much lost revenue. I can't imagine an owner would be ok with that...but ok. You do you. I won't be back, just in principle. read more

Come visit KC's for amazing food and getting treated like family. Everything is house made and delicious. The bartenders do an amazing job. It's a great place for good service and escaping the crowds. read more

Came here after a beach day with my boyfriend ordered the French dip sandwich, pretty good until there was a THICK black hair like 6 inches. We pulled it out and continued eating, then a SECOND hair, we were too nice pulled it out and continued eating. When I took a bite out of the other half of the sandwich there was a THIRD hair. . At this point I brought it to the waitress where she apologized and took it off the bill.( and apparently had to make a comment that the cook was bald? Ok well there's clearly hair in all our food) I'm sorry but our whole bill should have been comped completely and I should have shown the manager, that's an absolute public health hazard! Never again. read more

Good Irish pub in Long Beach...seafood dinners on Friday night were very good, the swordfish was delish!!! The ahi was very good as well but would've preferred it whole instead of sliced....the mashed potatoes and veggies were also excellent...good selection of beers and mixed drinks as well...ambiance is a traditional Irish pub, decent enough but not great...the service was okay, not great as the server was unsure of a few things on the menu....would return for the food if in area as it was definitely a surprise!! RECOMMEND read more

I loved this place, we got there a little past 11 pm and the vibe was still nice, space to sit down, not too crowded, drinks and cocktails were good and cheap, we really had a good time the hour we spent there, we left bc they closed early but actually early before 11 pm the had the kitchen open and live music they told us, nice place, oh! Clean restrooms btw. read more

Love this place. We were in LBC for a graduation and were staying on Naples Island. We ate at this pub three times!! My husband had the french dip and said it was the best he ever had. I had the cottage pie and the parmesan chicken and both were amazing!! Beer was nice and cold. We also ate breakfast and everyone enjoyed theirs. read more

We just had lunch here and it was great! Our first visit but not our last. What a gem of a pub. I had the corned beef sandwich (lots of moist, tasty corned beef), which was fantastic! The recommended onion rings were the best! Flavorful and just the perfect crunch. My amazing fiance had the parmeasan crusted chicken with their special Irish sauce, and it was sooo good!- a bit crunchy, moist, and very tasty! (her words). Lexie, our server, was friendly, helpful with our selections, and very efficient, despite covering the bar and the restaurant! read more

My wife and I have enjoyed stopping by this quaint little Irish pub, many times for a quick breakfast with our dog. How many times I cannot recall, but it's more than I can count on both hands, and always with our dog. Until today, our dog has been welcome to join us at ANY table on every visit - that is, I say, until today. When we walked in today, the first words out of the waiter's mouth were: "If you have a dog, you have to sit at the rail." Not hello, not welcome, not a dozen other greetings that would have conferred anything other than sheer RUDENESS. I said no word. We sat at the rail, in full glare of the hot morning sun, that was impossible to escape. I don't know if it's a new policy, or an old one that no other employee follows - I don't care! Our dog is small, sweet and quiet. He never makes a fuss, and always gets a double or triple order of ham as a treat. But not today, today he was greeted with rudeness. So we won't be coming back! read more

I had the worst, dried out, corned beef sandwich ever. They need to take tips from Katella Deli.

Cool Irish pub on second street. A very nice atmosphere and decent pub food. They have great staff that are always welcoming and nice when we arrive. It seems to be very very busy and then some days just completely empty. In any case the value for money is absolutely there. I will definitely go again when I want a nice beer and some pub food. This time we ordered the veggie burger which was great. Will definitely come back!! read more

Nice, classic pub. We ordered the Buffalo potatoes which weren't exactly what we expected, but completely delicious. Also loved the French Dip and Corned Beef sandwiches. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Long Beach. Their breakfasts are wonderful and the lunch/dinner menus offer many traditional Irish fare and some interesting takes on not-so-traditional items. The atmosphere always feels fun & like a neighborhood pub. We miss George tho- such a very cool man. read more

My husband and I dropped off the kids at a sailing class through LB Parks and Rec. we walked from Leeway to KC Brannigans to get breakfast. Oh my word...it was an amazing decision. It has been a very long time since I have been there and I think I only drank. Why why why have I slept on this for so long? First, my husband got an Irish Coffee and I got the most unique drink: the Pancake Breakfast Shot. This was butterscotch schnapps and Jameson shooter (tastes like a pancake with syrup), a shooter of orange juice, and a piece of bacon. This was soooo fun! Next, I ordered a breakfast burrito, my husband an eggs Benedict. Breakfast burritos are kind of my thing. This was a delightful classic breakfast burrito filled with eggs and your choice of three ingredients. I chose avocado, cheese, and bangers. Wow...it was so solid. Toasted in the outside, filled with perfectly cooked eggs, and served with a side of potatoes. Again, very solid! The eggs Benedict...made me want to cry...it was so so so so so so perfectly cooked with a rich Hollandaise sauce. Even the English muffin was delicious. Usually the English muffin is a throw away, you hardly think about it. Not here. It was so fluffy and spongy. And our server was so great. She took our order, chatted with us, and made us feel very welcomed. This is a classic Irish bar: dark, solid wooden furniture, soccer matches on all the of the TVs, and locals who seemed to be loving life. My only mistake was not coming here sooner. Don't make the same mistake I did. read more

Stopped in here with the boyfriend since we were leaving the beach, and it seemed to be one of the few places that wasn't overrun with people on Mother's Day. In fact, it was on the quiet side in this dark wood-paneled Irish pub when we arrived around 4 PM. We were not acknowledged at all, when we came in, and stood around for a few minutes until we took matters into our own hands, and sat at a table by the window. The goal was to just grab a quick drink and a few appetizers. It took about 10 minutes for the waitress to come and take our drink orders. She came back with the drinks, set them down, and never returned. Ever. We sat there like idiots for at least 20 minutes and no one acknowledged us at all. I also noticed that the wait staff was drinking on the job. The blonde waitress who had served us was sipping out of a small glass of dark liquid. Not too appropriate to be drinking on the job, is it?? We finally got tired of being treated like Mr. and Mrs. Invisible. Finished our drinks, boyfriend got up and went over to the bar, paid the tab, and we left. I've been reading the reviews that their food is pretty good. Shame that we never got to try it. read more

Went with friends to election watch party. Kristina Duggan, who is running for District 3 City Council hosted the party. This is an neighborhood bar. Reminds me of CHEERS.

Many screens throughout so stop on in to watch your favorite sporting events. read more

We were interested in exploring Irish food. This was the perfect place! We loved the Irish breakfast. Great sample . Everything was fresh and delicious. Also got the sausage rolls and Irish stew and corn beef sandwich. We would order it all again. We even enjoyed the blood sausage!!! What stood out was our server Macy. She went above and beyond to share about Irish food and made it easy to split and share things. She really thought about what needed to have an exceptional experience. Great neighborhood vibe. read more

The traditional Irish breakfast was missing beans to be truly traditional and had extra meat stuff instead which is fine. Service was great and the Irish coffee was strong. The furniture could use a little refreshing but it's a divey Irish pub for a reason so kind of don't want that to change. read more

This place has no right being so good. It's on 2nd Street in a touristy part of town, it's an Irish Pub with sports on the TV so the food is probably the LAST thing anyone would care about but it's surprisingly great. They make everything in house, a bunch of UK specials like fish n chips, bangers & champs, sausage rolls, curry fries, etc. All really well done. Great service, friendly neighborhood vibe. read more

Corned beef and cabbages were great as were the sausage rolls. Good selection of beers. Outstanding service by Jackie.

It's a pub, but it is a very good pub. Typical pub atmosphere. Lots of wood, kind of dark little, bit noisy but it's exactly what you would expect from a pub, so no surprises and kind of pleasant. Very good pub fare I highly recommend the shepherds pie. Being an Irish pub is a good selection of beer and whiskey. Surprisingly, it's also an excellent place to go have breakfast. Great breakfast menu and seems to be off the radar from many people so usually it's not very crowded. read more

This has become our "local" spot for almost 8 years now. Since our friends moved around the corner it's been an easy spot to grab breakfast/brunch on the weekends or lunch/ dinner during the week. It's family friendly with many locals that frequent the restaurant. 4 tv's for football or other sport watching helps provide customers with entertainment and likely a reason to linger a bit then normal. Macy and Alex are by far the best two employees they have. There's a great bus's-man, but I never catch his name, an older gentleman that is always around to help out. We really appreciate them so much. The owner leaves a bit to be desired. His friends always get preferential treatment and he looks like he drinks more than he runs the place. His employees really hold the restaurant down. In terms of food- honestly, I've never had a bad meal there. We have tried a lot of different things like, but a few favorites are: 1. Chiliquellas 2. Patty Melt 3. Tacos 4. Shepard Pie 5. Corn beef Sandwich read more

These guys are a few doors down from my hair stylist, so when I have to have my hair done early in the mornings, I order their avocado toast on soda bread! It may be a little pricey to some, but it is amazing! It's a very large thick piece of soda bread with mashed avos, sprouts, tomatoes, fried egg, it's a breakfast all in one I couldn't even finish it. So if I can save it for two meals, that's totally worth it! I haven't eaten there for anything else, I'm just reviewing their avocado toast. That makes this place amazing and my go-to for breakfast at least once a month!! Staff is super nice and friendly, looks like a great bar and I would definitely come here and bring friends if I have any who will come and visit LOL read more

KC Branigan's is that basic Irish pub with a welcoming and comfortable feel. We've been there numerous times because of the excellent food. I would especially recommend. The shepherds pie, the pesto, chicken pasta, and the Alfredo pasta. The service is very good and friendly. I would highly recommend KC Branigan's. read more

Meh. Service was friendly. Place was loud. The fish in the fish and chips was good and plentiful, but the coating was greasy and slid off the fish. DH had the pub burger. It was good, not great. Fries were disappointing. The booths are nice to look at but not comfortable. So it wasn't horrible, but no plans and no need to go back. read more

Hubby and I stumbled upon KC Branaghan's one fine Sunday morning and decided to venture in. I'll say up front, it's pricey. But the food is good, the atmosphere warm and friendly, and the service polished. For our first trip, we sat at a tall table at the front of the bar with high stools that looked out over the main street. It was the perfect place for people watching. We had the onion rings and sausage rolls. I LOVED the onions rings! They came with a delicious dipping sauce that was far better than I expected. I used it for the sausage rolls too. Sooo good. The batter on the outside of the rings wasn't too heavy or greasy either. Delicious! The sausage rolls weren't what I expected. I thought they would be more like sausage rolls found in English or Canadian delis - you know, the ones that are...well, rolls. The sausage rolls at KC Branaghan's are flat and triangular. They are stuffed with ground seasoned pork and come hot. They were good, but not my favorite sausage rolls and I probably won't get them again. We liked the food enough to pop in the next day for breakfast. We tried their signature Breakfast Boxty. It was good, especially when sauced with some HP. We will likely come back another time to try more dishes. KC B's is a solid four-star dining establishment. read more

It's hard to find good red and brown beers that are not IPA and Branaghan's has a few to choose from. Great Irish food - Fish & Chips, Bangers & Mash, Corned Beef, Shepard Pie, curry chips (make them crispy) are few of our favorites and the also make a good burger. They also have a pint night, I have a delirium Noel glass for the holidays from a few years ago read more
