This spot just gets it…read more I came through recently and was honestly excited before I even ordered food because they had a solid selection of NA mocktails. For a bar, that's not always a given, and as someone who doesn't drink as much these days, that immediately stood out to me. I grabbed a lavender leprechaun and it was super refreshing, light, and just a really nice change of pace from the usual soda-or-water options. It didn't feel like an afterthought, it actually felt intentional. For food, I went with the corned beef sandwich and it did not disappoint. Hearty, flavorful, and exactly what you'd want from a proper Irish pub. The whole place has that classic pub vibe but still feels welcoming whether you're drinking or not. That balance is rare, and I really appreciated it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to, especially knowing I've got solid non-alcoholic options to enjoy.

We came for the good times and decided to make a girls night of it and have dinner and drinks too. The website says reservations recommended, I'd say more like required if you think you're coming. Every single table and barstool in the place was taken. Sean was our server and immediately we were having a great time with him. He's really awesome and super friendly. There were so many things on the menu that sounded amazing. Between us girls we each ordered something different to eat so we had a nice variety. The portions are huge! My meatloaf was so freaking good, the picture did not do it justice at all. My friends got sliders, corned beef and cabbage and a chicken caeser salad, which they all liked as well. Although this place was super busy from the trivia the service was fast and drinks as well as refills came quickly. Food took a bit of time as to be expected. The trivia was great just as everyone had mentioned and I'm glad we decided to check it out. Thursdays is Bingo also with Chris and since grandma hobbies are right up my alley it looks like I will be spending a lot of time at the Shamrock now.

Without any warning or apparent provocation, he suddenly started cursing and yelling at her. She didn't appear intoxicated at all.

It feels real, comfortable, and consistent every time you walk in. This has actually become a tradition for us. Every year around Thanksgiving, when we stay at Hotel del Coronado, we make it a point to come here with friends. Been doing it since 2018 and it's something we all look forward to. The food is always solid, drinks are right, and the atmosphere just fits. Nothing overcomplicated, just a place that does what it's supposed to do and does it well. What says a lot is we don't just go to this location. When we're up visiting family in El Dorado Hills, we'll hit their Tahoe location too. That kind of consistency across locations is rare. This place has become part of our routine and our memories. Don't ever change.

I hate leaving questionable reviews.. but also feel when we researched places we didn't get an accurate story. This is a true neighborhood pub.. the place you come so everybody knows your name. Which I love and can appreciate. But as an outsider it was kinda chaotic instead. A bartender came to clean a table for us. The largest grossest bugger hanging out of his nose, he had sweat marks so large there was no need to lift his arms to see them. He proceeded then to do shots at the bar with costumers. Which again... I totally can appreciate having a good time in a good neighborhood pub. The floors were so dirty around the booths. The menus dirty. Just over all couldn't stay and eat here. Did get some good laughs watching a few very inebriated customers, had some good drinks and went on our way. We personally wouldn't come back, but again if you live in the neighborhood and it's just that place you come to for your hang with friends, it's looks like it's a fun place.

Pretty neat heavy, as Irish food tends to be, but there are a few vegetarian friendly options. The chips with malt vinegar are tasty, the vegan nuggets are good, great accompanying sauce.

I don't know what happened to this place. I went back after 15 years of being away from the OC and…read morewas excited for my husband to try. I have so many good memories and meals here. Unfortunately, my recent visit was such a disappointment. Let's start with food. We ordered wings, chips and whipped feta. The wings had clearly been refrigerated and thrown on the grill for a hot second. The fat on them were soft and gelatinous and when I bit into it, the center was hard and super cold. It also smelled like a fridge. We sent them back and asked for a fresh batch but they had just taken the same ones and warmed them up. Very possible they were microwaved. I knew they were the ones I sent back because the wing I had taken a bite out of and spit out was right back on the plate. Then let's get into the chips. They were stale. They advertised them as home made and I don't doubt that but it's like they made them 3 days ago and left them out. They were cold and barely crispy. We sent these back as well and we got a slightly better batch but I wasn't going to argue this with the staff. The saving grace was the whipped feta. This was actually good. Nothing wow but it was edible since the other two items were such a huge let down. Now service. The lady that served us was very very sweet. However, not a great server. She disappeared and we needed to flag down another server for a refill. She was also not the one that we could talk to about our disappointing food. Another server had to come check on us. I don't think I could convince my husband to come back here, let alone spend money on this. It's unfortunate since I was hoping to share a slice of my former Newport stomping grounds with him.

5 stars for being able to get weed and smoke it right on the spot Haha Was brought here by a friend…read moreso we could smoke some joints before watching a movie at plaza rio. When they told me there's a place we can go and get weed and roll some joints and smoke it there while Having a drink, I Kind of thought hard to believe but it's actually true haha It is located way in the back at plaza zapato on the second floor. You will take stairs to get up to the place. Go in the back room to get your herbs for 50 pesos ($3) for which looked like a gram. My friend said that's expensive for Mexico lol It's not medical grade, but decent enough. They even provided papers. We rolled the joints at our table and then just sparked it up. No one even paid attention. Great place. You'll never know that this place is even there. Not sure how much they pay the cops to not bother them cause there were cops we walked by right before going up and they ignore it. Definitely worth checking the place out.
