It came out within 6-7 mins and was pipping hot. Fries are super good! Chopped cheese was a bit greasy but good and the burger was a hit. And the westsider drink was a hit too. Cost not too bad. $47 for food and 2 drinks. Had a good crowd. Parked across the street in the parking lot. Service was good. 3 people turned to 2 that helped us through our meal.

Nice waitress. Not too crowded. Free parking on weekends. River burg $13.50 was huge, well made. Great burger like the old days. Cheddar, bacon, onion ring. Reminiscent of those old big burgers at burgers n beer. Fries were good too. My brother loved his cheesesteak wrap. Saw a nice girl cooking back there. It was all inexpensive too. 3 beers & the burg was $30 out the door. No complaints. I'll prob even be back. Haven't walked in here in 15 years and in spite of the lousy reviews it was same as ever. New owners no worries. I even walked across to Simone's and bought a bourbon. 4 stars thanks.

We got the bourbon burger, the buffalo chicken sandwich and wings. It was so good. I am giving this place a 9/10. We waited a moment at the door but once we got seated we had attentive service. The beer selection was vast. The waiter was very knowledgeable and even let us taste test option before we made our selection. College football was on the screens. So you know that made Mister happy. lol The food soooooooo good. We debated if it was the best we have had in Cleveland. We settled on this is in our #2 spot. The only reason I am not doing a 10/10 is bc I would have like the serving size to be larger. lol

We shared a Soft Pretzel served with house-made brown butter cream cheese which was absolutely delicious. For mains, I got the Cheese Steak Dip and my husband got the Surf & Turf. Highly recommend checking them out!

Very good, but we need to go later on dusting next time. We also got a brown sugar rice crispy treat which we got one to split and then we ended up getting a second one because it was so good.

I visited with my friend Olga's book club for a book club discussion on Tuesday evening, 20 January…read more2026. My group were supposed to go to Habesha Ethiopian restaurant for dinner and book club but they were closed so we found ourselves at PJ's Irish Pub. AMBIANCE -- Dimmer light but not too dark inside. Typical, traditional bar look and feel. Lots of booth tables plus a center bar area with chairs around it. DRINKS -- I don't drink alcohol so I can't comment on their drink offerings but considering that this is an Irish Pub, they must have lots of options to choose from such as beer. FOOD -- Their menu is large with dishes such as pot pie, tacos, meatloaf, etc. I didn't want to spend a lot of money so I just ordered 2 beef tacos that came with tomatoes but I forgot to ask for it to come without cheese. So, I had to remove the shredded cheese from it. There was a lot of cheese on the tacos too. The tacos were fine - simple enough and the beef tasted just right. This pub is probably more known for their drinks but I may be wrong. Everyone on my table seemed to enjoy their dinner. I noticed someone ordered meatloaf, another for a chicken pot pie, another had a big plate of broccoli with something else (the broccoli looked tasty), and so on. SERVICE (5/5) -- our group was treated well. We were greeted upon walking in plus our server took our orders at a reasonable time. PARKING -- Not the best like most places in the area because it is street parking only but I was very lucky to find a street parking spot right in the front of the pub. You can probably park at the shopping district parking lot across the street where a gas station is located. Overall, although I wasn't expecting to even visit PJ McIntyre's Irish Pub on that cold January evening, it was a nice enough experience (mostly FUN because of the book club group rather than the food). The beef tacos that I ordered were fine and a fair price (around $6.50 total). I most likely won't be back since I don't drink alcohol and I hardly visit pubs or bars for dinner. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 11/250 total reviews in 2026 - 852 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 February 2026
