Food was very good the beer is on spot! Very friendly servers I keep comming back especially to watch the Dodgers games!

Long overdue! Favorite local spot. Consistently good year after year. Good beer selection, good wine, good cocktails. The food is the real star, they have great everything and good specials. Love this place for breakfast/brunch especially, can't beat the $20 champagne bucket. I also definitely left my purse on a chair and walked away before I realized it and less than 5 minutes later when I went back they already had saved it and kept it safe for me, which was amazing to have my stuff secured. Thank you all!!! read more

Great place, great staff, great beer, great food. Not much to add. I'll have to come check the prime rib on Saturday. read more

K C Branaghan's - Smithwick's red ale, Guinness stout, and full Irish breakfast. Good morning. - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

We know what we like and we like KC's! What a fun, friendly and chill spot! We sat at the bar and ordered a beer each. We also shared an order of fish n chips...the beers were cold and food arrived to us fast and hot! Thumbs wayyy up! We were there to attend the Yelp! 90's trivia event and had such an amazing night, from meeting Glen and Ryan, laughing it up with our fellow Yelp! team mates, to winning in the end! We shared a few appetizers that seemed to please everyone at our table, but the favorite I would say was the potatoes in buffalo sauce and blue cheese! Spicy and arrived nice and hot! The meat n cheese platter came with a nice selection of cheeses and corned beef and turkey deli meats ... Not fancy but not stingy either, we enjoyed it. Cool peeps, great service and an all around perfect experience at KC Branaghan's! I am a fan! read more

First things first, the curry chips! They are French fries with a curry dipping sauce. Different, and definitely not what you expect from an Irish pub, but they really hit the nail on the head with the dip! Slightly sweet curry flavor that goes great with fries. Definitely recommend trying if you come here for food. We had brunch so I had the Dan sandwich. Nice simple breakfast sandwich with egg, avocado, bacon and mayo. I loved that it came on sourdough bread. I felt like the portions were just right as well. It's a nice chill spot in Long Beach for drinks and some food if you are in Naples/2nd street area and have a bigger group so need a lot of seats to accommodate. read more

I am so happy Belmont Shore/Naples has an Irish pub with authentic Irish food and drinks. I'm Irish, never lived there myself but still have family who do and this place makes my heart happy. I want to eat all the traditional Irish fare on their menu because it is so good. I like the service and vibe as well. read more

My friends and I come here every Wednesday for breakfast. The food is great, ambiance fun and our server Rebecca is the best. She is attentive, sweet and memorizes our orders week to week. Ryan (the owner) is always there. Sometimes with his adorable young son and wife. He truly cares about his employees and customers. If you're hungry or thirsty please support this wonderful business. read more

Overall it was a good dining experience. I thought the food was a somewhat under seasoned, but there was salt and pepper on the table. The curry dip with the chips was a pleasant surprise, and the chips were cooked perfectly crunchy. I'd go back for the chips read more

The food here is absolutely EXCELLENT! We got the cottage pie and the Corn beef boxty and it was the perfect amount of food for two people and the perfect intro to Irish cuisine. The boxty is a moist Irish potato pancake and we got it with corn beef inside - so delicious! Also comes with horseradish and apple relish inside. The cottage pie is TO DIE FOR! Mashed potato on top of a tender beef stew - so rich and thick. I will say this place is also a pub so it's LOUD. So it's not a relaxed environment but the excellence of the food more than makes up for the somewhat rowdy crowd - all having a good time Though so that's good! Service was excellent. Highly recommend! read more

I came here for brunch on Saturday. They have a 4.99 breakfast special M-F, sad, we wish thy had it on the weekends too. I had their Irish breakfast and Irish potato pancakes. They were delicious! The iris breakfast has 2 eggs, really savory and well cooked potatoes o brien, grilled tomatoes with sauté mushrooms, 1 susage, 1 blood susage (so flavorful), and 1 banger, they were so good! It was enough food that my partner and I just shared it. The potato pancakes are more like crepes. They were really good! (-) Service was a bit slow. (+) lots of street parking and they have a small lot. (+) delicious food read more

I ordered food to go from here on a very busy day. Left my debit card after paying and Someone used my card to purchase a separate charge of $79. My card ended up still being at the restaurant so I assume one of the workers used it in error. I called and spoke with I believe the owner, Ryan, emailed him a copy of my bank statement showing the charge came from here. No response. I thought the food was good but ended up paying $124.00 for a pub burger and a plate of corned beef and cabbage. read more

So the drinks here are amazing! We went and it happened to be HH....SCORE! We got shots of whiskey for $5? and if I'm not mistaken the mixed drink was the same. For apps we got grilled shrimp tacos, battered fish tacos and a 1/2 plate of wings and potatoes. Honestly the food was mediocre at best, my friend couldn't even finish it. It was just missing seasoning. The atmosphere is great and 2nd St is beautiful so you'll definitely find something to do in the area. Our serves was amazing and you can really tell they treat the customers like family. read more

Dude $8 for Coors light!? Service was good. I know inflation is a problem but $8 for a coors!? I'll drink at home! Thanks joe Biden

Excellent food!!! Friendly service. We would highly recommend the cottage pie and chicken noodle pie.

Worst place ever, if you want to wait over an hour for a beer this is your place. Rudest staff I honestly have ever encountered. Came in between shift change and both employees were more tending to their friends instead of paying customers. ZERO STARS read more

This place is awesome! Come say hi to Brian! The food here is so good. Everything is fresh and tastes amazing. There are specials everyday and great drinks! Stop by for happy hour and get great food and drinks. I have yet to have a disappointing meal here or poor service. This place is top notch and I will definitely be a regular here and recommend it to all my friends! read more

Small place with a big heart. I been going here for years for their old style Irish breakfast for a cheap price. I also go here for their mimosas read more

Came in to celebrate my dad's birthday with my mom. I choose this place because it's a fairly well-known Irish pub and my dad is all about the Irish pubs, but had never been or heard about this place. We chose to sit at the high top table closest to the large open window facing the street. It was great because we felt that we were in a somewhat private area and they put on the Angels game for us which was convenient. Our server was EXTREMELY nice and welcoming the entire time we were there and made sure we were all taken care of drink and food-wise. I ordered the Irish nachos (which I later found that I wasn't much of a fan of them; idk, I think it's the curry that makes them unappealing to me), and my dad and I ordered several beers. Between the 2 of us and the appetizer, the total was a little over $50. I have been here once before for their bottomless mimosa deal, and had a great experience, so after this second experience, I'm definitely gonna be back! I'm jealous of all of the people in this neighborhood that can walk here and stumble home. Need something like this in my neighborhood! read more

Best food and service! Met the owner, and he was outstanding. Beautiful lights, great ambiance, fantastic food. 10/10 recommendation for dining here. read more

I have to say, that normally, I love this place. It has a lot going for it, but they failed yesterday. I stopped in to catch some of the Euro 2020 tournament (being played in 2021). All they had on was golf. It was a Tuesday, and no meaningful golf was being played. A pub of any repute would highlight all major soccer tournaments, especially one where England, Scotland, and Wales were participants. I had planned on spending some time and money here on Friday for the England vs. Scotland match, but I guess not. read more

I gave this a 1 because our server was super friendly...as for the food, that's a different story! Ordered a $9 pint of beer, A PINT! Girlfriend ordered a 9oz Rosé for $10 but to get back to the matter at hand. Ordered the Irish nachos which would be a disgrace to any race not just the Irish. It was some chips with some fake sandwich meat cut up into squares with melted cheese and avocado slices. It also had some cream curry baby food slop mess but I got that on the side...good thing I did because that was so bad it almost ruined my beer which was pretty good! I can't speak on the other food items but that was enough for me to never return! read more

It's been a while since I've been here and I was not disappointed! I tried the cottage pie and potato leek soup. The cottage pie is traditional Irish fare with the mash potato topping a delicious and hearty beef stew. The potato leek soup has a delightful tangy and buttery flavor that makes it different from other versions and very tasty. The staff were very nice and I look forward to stopping by next time I'm in the area. read more

K C Branaghan's - Corned Beef Sandwich and Irish Stout - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

I love a good Irish pub, or a good neighborhood bar, and even a good dive...this place is none of those things. It's just a dump. It's filthy as soon as you walk in, and reeks of stale beer. My shoes were sticking to the floor. The bar mats had GUM caked on them. I can't imagine ordering food here! It's got a very locals only vibe, which in this case is not a positive thing. It's a bunch of old-timers yukking it up, and spilling their drinks everywhere. No friendly people, just lots of side eye. At best you'll be ignored. Speaking of ignored, the bartender could hardly be bothered to bring our drinks. Huge chip on his shoulder. As a bonus, when I drank mine down, I saw there was something floating in it. Thanks for the clean glass there, bud! I regretted giving him a tip. This is one of the worst bars I've been to in the Long Beach area. Go at your own risk. read more

I dropped into Donegal today, popped into my favorite wee pub and had a free Traditional Irish Breakfast with bottomless Mimosas, taking me through fine Irish mists and cool Irish green seas to make it back to the LBC in just one day!

ATMOSPHERE: The pub is like me looking at bra ads--- all wood. Sometimes it can be cold (the windows are often open for fresh air), and often it can be loud, especially Monday and Wednesday night or if the Big Red Bus shows up, but for the most part it is the chillest, coziest, friendliest pub in Long Beach, with at least three different games on, and/or a neutral iTunes playlist running low. Freshest dartboard in town. (Check for Paint Nights!) SERVICE: To be honest, service suffers when they get super busy (especially during the free lottery nights*), so get ready to deal with that if it is packed, but staff is nice, and we especially like Dan who is there 4 days a week, Ryan, and Kristen (who does flowers). Their drinks are so stiff they must own stock in Uber. Owner George was the best host anyplace anywhere... and he will be missed dearly. WHY IS IT SO BUSY ON MONDAY & WEDNESDAY NIGHTS? no-catch, free Lottery nights on Monday and Wednesday. My bae has won $400, and my name has been called three times ($1000) but I wasn't there to collect and my name goes on the Loser Board. Just like at high school. (Stupid principal) LOCALS: Super friendly and chill, unless you're a Ducks fan. FOOD: Except for the various daily specials (listed below) and the $5 weekday breakfast plate, you will not be thinking, "Wow, this is cheap", but the food is, in fact, excellent. (OK, I don't like the wilted side salad or the mussels, let's get that out of the way). The best dish is the spicy potatoes appetizers, which I call "George's Balls": With the crumbled bleu cheese, generous ranch dip, and tangy wing sauce, they are tastier than the wings with far less bones! George's Balls is top three appetizers on Second Street and the one I most recommend to newbies who come in. Their chicken fingers are very unique, very long, spindly, and extra crunchy. They make their own bread (with breakfast) that has a unique texture, so ask for it if you have breakfast. It's so good. Best bread pudding. The onion rings are to die for--- literally. Their turkey burger has a sausagey taste that makes it a cool alternative than the regular burgers. The best fish tacos in California according to my wife. Stellar brussel sprouts w apple presence. Corned beef sandwich has a yum apple-horseradish sauce. The Irish Nachos are great, but a sodium bomb. I sometimes get the build your own sub (the best value), the gut busting BBQ Bacon Burger, or the underrated breakfast burrito. And the food comes out all Food Networky, sprinkled with paprika or parsley or sauce drizzles. SPECIALS: MONDAY: get a half-price entree, and eat late to hit the raffle. Look for the half price beer selection. TUESDAY: get the all you can eat pasta, with their thick but crispy, buttery garlic bread. Get the pint of selected beer and keep the glass! WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY: Check the website. SATURDAY: The French Dip is $4 off... order it "Carey" style (he's that drunk hockey player smoking outside) with garlic bread instead of regular bread for a small up charge. SUNDAY: Nobody can touch KCB for mimosa refills on Sundays... Do not miss Sundays! George was very generous and downight relentless on the refills, like a new water boy. He would refill it as you are taking a sip. His wrists were probably super strong from all the refills... even stronger than me with my bra ads. REST IN PEACE, GEORGE! WE WILL MISS YOU FOREVER! read more

Specials were ok. Mashed potatoes were cold. The bar was full of people swearing every second word. Food was tasty. A lot of non Irish food on the menu nice decor and atmosphere. Very Ireland. Prices were ok with the specials. Not a big fan of cold food which spoiled it a bit. Waitress was nice enough and helpful. read more

K C Branaghan's - The bar - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

KCB has forever changed my perception of pub food. I used to think going to pubs was to chill, drink beer or Jameson, and maybe get a bite of greasy, mediocre food. Now, after being converted by KCB, first I go here to get my grub on, and then beer makes a close second. I first tried KCB on st. patties day and was shocked how fresh and delicious the corned beef and cabbage tasted...completely unexpected. Now I find myself coming here more and more. KCB has managed to sneak into my regular restaurant rotation. From traditional irish faire to some more contemporary, my favored dishes are the fish and chips, sherpards pie and their new chicken pie - yum. I tried the traditional breakast, but was not a big fan of the blood sausage. Service may be a little slow as a few times that I've gone the bartender was also the server. read more

Best Irish Bar in Long Beach! I miss the days of driving along 2nd Street for work. I really enjoyed coming into KCB and meeting the owner George. We would talk about beer, and his upcoming pint nights. The vibe is very cozy, but not small. This bar is just the right size, with enough social area to be the perfect bar. If John Taffer from Bar Rescue came in, he would absolutely love it. The food is phenom nom nom!! Try the Irish Nachos or a Boxtie! True Irish flair here. The bartenders know their whiskeys, and most importantly, each Guiness is poured the right way, in the right glass. Yes, Guiness needs to be poured with the "perfect pour" method in a Guiness Imperial Pint glass. Your beer is respected here. As I mentioned earlier, George is the owner. When you come in, ask for him. He is such a wonderful guy, with a colorful personality. He really cares about his customers (rookies or regular) and his staff. It shows. This is a "Must Visit" whenever I am in the area. Both for food and drink! P.S. Parking is limited. P.P.S. In the middle of the week, George hosts a buy the pint, keep the glass night with various breweries. Take advantage! read more

K C Branaghan's - I took this picture at the bar. Should give you an idea of how picturesque this place is. - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

I've been here several times but finally made it in time for breakfast (served until 1PM). I haven't had the Traditional Irish Breakfast since I was in the UK last several months ago so I was curious as to how it would compare. The verdict: pretty close. I was a little disappointed they assumed I wanted scrambled eggs rather than asking. The bacon was WAY oversalted but it could have been the cook today. The blood sausage was about the best I've had- excellent! Everything else from the mushrooms to the soda bread was very good. I would come back for sure. They also pour a very good Guinness, too! We stumbled about a rowdy crowd this morning- bottomless mimosas were most certainly the reason. However, it's usually pretty laid back when we come. They have soccer games on or whatever local sports happen to be on. The only other thing I have ordered is the boxty- I never had it overseas to compare but I will say it's worth the order (I believe it's served all day!). read more

DODGERS GAMES!! I was so happy to see they air the Dodgers games... so in we went to catch the game. The food is great... a step up from your average bar food. read more

Here's all you need to know (George may disagree, but I digress). Pint Night on Tuesday - Every Tuesday, George picks out a new beer you should order. You drink the beer. You get the next beer for $1 less than the first. You finish. You TAKE THE GLASS WITH YOU. Tuesday is also Pasta Night - UNLIMITED PASTA. UNLIMITED. Get this. They have Fettuccine Stroganoff w/ FILET as the meat. The pasta is cooked perfectly and it comes with two pieces of garlic bread. You don't get additional garlic bread, so take your time. This pasta is amazing. I have also had the Bolognese with Penne. Italian sausage and short ribs. Rich, pasta cooked perfectly, and a lot of flavor. Damn good. I hear good things about the breakfast and the other days of the week, but I am a creature of beerhabit. I see the goal and I meet it. I conquer the beer and I keep the glass. On Tuesday I am always a winner. The owner is awesome. The staff is awesome. This place is now one of my favorite places in Long Beach. I don't really need to go anywhere else on a Tuesday night. For other nights, I will still toss a coin, but I may head here instead. GO HERE. Well, don't go here and take all of my beer, but go here... read more

K C Branaghan's - Go home, sign. You're drunk. - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

My retired coworker friend from Ireland took a nice speed walk with me through Belmont Shores on to Naples and back. She loves her pubs so we stopped here based on the reviews. They seated us promptly and were never lacking attention for our stay even though we lingered to talk. We each ordered a bowl of the soup for $8 and a side of Irish soda bread, 2 slices for $3.50. Me, potato leek and her, soup du jour salmon bisque. I had water and she had a pint of Smithwick's (on tap!) because I'm a lightweight compared to her! The chowder I had was thicker with potato versus cream so I didn't feel very guilty for cleaning the bowl. My friend said the bisque was good but she eats light so she only finished half. She didn't find the bruschetta-like side that accompanied her soup appetizing because they serve it cold. Although we both enjoyed the bread, she said it definitely wasn't like real Irish soda bread. Great neighborhood feel in there. I know they lost their owner (there's an in memoriam window painting dedicated to George) not long ago but his hospitable spirit lives on. Pleasantly dark and pleasantly loud, I could easily see hanging out there more often were it not almost a two mile hike to get there from my apartment. read more

Local bar and restaurant. Food is always good, service less than good but price depending on day makes up for it.

K C Branaghan's - Nice bar area, relaxed setting, good background music, good lighting. - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

We stopped in for drinks and a quick bite. I ordered the calamari and the Mac and cheese. The calamari was fine, and a good size dish for $13.... and then the MINI Mac and cheese came out and it was a coffee mug sized dish for $10. We were taken back by the size and the price. I could probably count the noodles, that's how small of a portion it was. The bill was $70 and that was only two appetizers and 4 drinks! A bill should never get that high at an Irish pub, with only those items. Mac and cheese is not expensive ingredients, so why such a ridiculous sized portion? I can't believe anyone would be ok with spending $10 for 10 noodles. A dollar a freakin noodle lol read more

K C Branaghan's - $10 Mac and Cheese in a coffee mug sized dish. Pathetic. - Irish Near Me - Long Beach, California

Had a late lunch here on a Sunday and had a nice time. It was moderately filled but not too packed, which was nice. Our servers were very nice and attentive. We started with the sliders. Two simple cheeseburgers with grilled onions and thousand island. These were very yummy as you would expect from a burger. We split the petite version of the fish and chips which was delicious! It was one very large piece of fresh white fish (not frozen) in a very unique batter.... Perfect texture with light crunch. And it comes with sides of homemade tartar and cocktail sauce, yum!! We also split the full size shepherds pie. This was quite good as well. Comfort food with lots of flavor. read more
