Weekend brunch at Patsy Hartigan's Irish Pub in downtown Evansville is always a solid choice, The only downside? It is LOUD inside -- especially during a soccer match or just always with the music. We had to yell to just hold a conversation with our waitress. I'd only recommend it if you can sit outside on a sunny day. The food is good, portions are decent, and the prices are hard to beat. The $4 Bloody Marys and mimosa bar on the weekends are honestly one of the best brunch deals downtown. If you're looking for a quiet, cozy brunch spot, this probably isn't it. But if you want good food, drinks, and a lively downtown vibe, it definitely delivers. read more

Kaitlyn was a GREAT server! And that can make ALL the difference... I'd suggested two different places for lunch, hoping to split the group so there weren't so many at one restaurant. Apparently, all but ONE person chose Patsy's for lunch. But Kaitlyn pulled it off extremely well. We had two large tables, but she got our food and drinks out quickly and efficiently, WITH a smile. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. But that SERVICE? The best... read more

Loved this place, quintessential atmosphere. Great service and the pork chop dinner was amazing!

Patsy Hartigan's Pub in Evansville is such a cool spot--it's got that real Irish pub vibe, not the typical American version. It feels genuine, like a little piece of UK. What really stands out is the bartender/general manager. They know their Irish whiskey inside and out and love to share that knowledge. If you're a whiskey fan, you'll be in heaven here! They pointed out a few unique bottles I'd never even heard of and explained what made them special. You can tell they're passionate, and that makes the experience even better. Here's a fun fact they told me that stuck: Irish whiskey owes its start to monks who brought perfume distilling techniques from the S Europe back to Ireland. It's wild to think that a tradition like that started so far away and turned into something so distinctly Irish. The pub itself has such a great personality--welcoming, and full of life. It's the kind of place where you can just relax, have a great conversation, and enjoy a drink that feels like it was picked just for you. The mixed drinks are also very, very good. If you're ever in Evansville, don't skip this place! read more

We were in the area performing for a concert and ordered 12 meals for our aftershow food. Everyone loved everything they ate but I heard the most love for their Scotch Egg and my favorite was their Mushy Peas! Alyssa took great care of us and our unique situation. When in the area, we will definitely order from Patsy Harrigan's Irish Pub again! read more

Stopped by Patsy Hartigan's for lunch with my mom, my sister, and her baby. Unfortunately, the service really missed the mark. They were running a lunch special on the smash burger for $10 until 2:00. We arrived before 2, but by the time our server took our order, it was 2:02 -- and she wouldn't honor the special. So my mom ended up paying $5 more for the exact same thing. To make matters worse, my sister was upcharged for swapping fries for green beans, even though the green beans cost less. When we asked about it, the waitress said they "don't notify customers of upcharges." When my sister politely asked to have the charge removed, the waitress just said no. It came across as dismissive and unnecessarily rude. The food itself was fine, but the service from this particular waitress was rude and left us feeling unwelcome. With open and honest communication and a friendlier attitude, this place has the potential to be a pleasant lunch spot -- but this experience was unpleasant from start to finish. read more

Best Reuben and the fried fish is delicious! Service was great and the Irish beers are also crisp and refreshing.

Stopped in after a hair cut downtown for a couple snacks! The food was really fresh and delicious. Great seating area outside. read more

Very busy for Saturday lunch, seemed to be one of the only restaurants open. Ordered the corned beef rueben which came with fries. The fries were very bland and not cooked all the way through. They would be better with a seasoning or sauce. The sandwich needs improving. The meat to sauerkraut ratio was not on par. Several of my pieces of meat were too fatty to consume. The waitress was attentive and friendly though and we were sat immediately. read more

Had dinner there last night. Wait was 20 minutes and they were out of a few things but it's their first week! Our server was nice and knowledgeable. Great beer and drink selection and the food was awesome. Had the scotch eggs, salmon dip, soda bread, Reuben sandwich, shaved ribeye sandwich and chopped pub salad. The place looks so nice inside and out. Looking forward to heading back to try a few things they didn't have last night. read more

What an experience! I didn't get pictures of the food, but we had a variety. The Scotch Egg was amazing! All of our food was just out of the park great! Our server, Maggie, was on top of everything and knowledgeable. Wonderful atmosphere and decorations. We will most definitely be back! read more

The fish was greasy. I had to get an extra napkin to absorb the grease. The batter had no seasoning. The fries were soft. I will not come back. read more

Great little Irish pub in downtown Evansville. My father in law and I both had fish and chips for lunch. Fish was fresh and cooked very well. Chips were also hot and fresh. The tartar sauce was too much like buttermilk for me, but malt vinegar was a better option. The only thing I didn't like was the bland slaw. The slaw was fresh, but had little taste. Service was fast and good. I'll definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

Fantastic food. Fantastic service. Fantastic beer. Wandered in just looking for some dinner and could not ask for a better spot. Hands down amazing all around. read more

Patsy Hartigan's Irish Pub - Summer in Brussels brewed by Fly Hartigan's Brewing. - Irish Pub Near Me - Evansville, Indiana

I'll front end the negatives. There is an 8% Evansville tax applied to the bill. The side order of Cole slaw, though outstanding, was a small portion for the price. On to the good. Went with the corned beef Rueben which came with fries and a pickle - thought it was very good. Tried their home brewed "roll out the barrel" on staff recommendation and thought it was excellent. Staff was very friendly and attentive as I sat behind the bar, had 3 different people checking up on me. Music was playing above the crowd noise; 3 different programs on big screens scattered throughout, including a few ballgames. Place was close to capacity just before the Saturday dinner rush. Other patrons looked to be enjoying themselves and I look forward to my future return. read more

Food is always good. I do not care for their Irish soda bread but absolutely everything else I have had here has been excellent from appetizers to desserts to cocktails. Large selection of Irish Whiskeys with an owner who is very knowledgeable about each. Truly great service each time I have been there. read more

Had the fish and chips. Both were good and mid priced. Food came out quick. Nice atmosphere.

My husband and I were visiting Evansville and stopped in for dinner after visiting The Arcadamie. We both had the cider on draft, which was crisp and not overly sweet. I had the Fish 'n Chips and my husband had the Shepherd's Pie with Soda Bread. Both meals were fresh and super filling. Service was fast and friendly, and the decor was stunning. We'll for sure be back! read more

Great food! We had the fish & chips. Delicious! The service was attentive but not intrusive. A wonderful place to watch EPL on the weekend! We will definitely return. read more

Great new addition to Evansville. I've been three times and being a sucker for a Reuban, I got it all three times. Great sandwich and the chips were perfect! Get some extra Hartigan sauce to dip those chips in. Service at the bar was outstanding! And such cool vibes inside the restaurant. Can't wait to go back for a 4th time. read more

Very accommodating! Had a party of 10 for a 77th birthday. Called ahead 45 minutes as suggested, arrived 25 minutes early and they told us our table was just setup and ready! Everyone arrived by 5:00. Had the best waiter experience we've had in years with Nicholas, very knowledgeable and friendly! Great food and service was outstanding!!! The only downside, which was minor was there was no Irish music in the background to add to the Irish atmosphere! Will definitely return and try to get Nicholas again! read more

Authentic Irish vibe, great beer selection, and hearty pub fare. A perfect night out!

The food and the atmosphere is great! We had the fish and chips and my wife said her Bloody Mary was amazing. read more

Patsy Hartigan's Irish Pub - Fish and chips - Irish Pub Near Me - Evansville, Indiana

We were a party of seven, ordered Fish sandwiches that had no flavor and Cole slaw slapped on it that didn't look very appetizing. The Fries were not cooked thoroughly through and were cold and bland.. Fish and chips were ok and Ruben sandwich also. Ordered a Bread Pudding that was cold and hard that you almost had to use a Hammer and a Chisel. When I got my Bill , I noticed that they added already the Tip into it . We already gave the waitress our tip, but after we saw that it was already included, we asked for it back and she told us that she didn't know... Right??? We were not too impressed about the food and it needs some improvement and we thought the prices were a little too steep for what we got. Also, one of us ordered a sweet red wine and got one that was so dry that she couldn't even drink it and ended up paying $7.00 dollars . One ordered a clam chowder soup and ended up getting sick after she left. She said later that the soup was horrible . We will never come back or recommend it to anyone else. We are sorry that this was not a pleasant experience for us read more

We loved everything about our experience! Our server was professional and helpful. The atmosphere makes it feel it's been there all along. The Spice Bag appetizer was delicious. Everyone's meals & cocktails were fantastic. The corn beef melts in your mouth. We all split the bread pudding & chocolate cake for dessert. We could not ask for anything to have been better! We will absolutely be back! read more

Excellent food, great beer selection, wonderful wait staff. Love this spot that works for a casual lunch spot or nice date night. We had the Scotch Egg to start which was cooked perfectly. The best Ruben in town used to be Gerst Haus but this place reins king of the Ruben! The shepherds pie was great and huge. My favorite taste of the night was the herb bread served with the pie. We grabbed a slice of chocolate cake to take home and it was super rich and decadent. For sure one of my favorite places in Evansville. read more

The place looks cool. Was Very excited to try it. Food was absolutely terrible and not a very large menu. Service was fine though. read more

Awesome food and libation!! Great addition to downtown Evansville! Authentic Irish beers on tap. The Reuben sandwich is fantastic.

Food was great, service was friendly and atmosphere was great for my wife, two young daughters and I.

Enjoyable evening and food was really good. May not be a regular visitor but will go back for special occasions.

We have been wanting to come here since they opened and it did not disappoint! The food and service were incredible. Best fish and chips since we were in Ireland/England. The Guinness stew was perfect and not to mention the Jameson bread pudding! The atmosphere was perfect as well. We will definitely come back! 10/10. read more

Overall, the pub is a nice interior. It's not quite like an authentic Irish pub, but it's fine. We were recently in Ireland so we had a good frame of reference for this. The draft menu was good. A large variety including mainstays in Irish culture. The food is the worst part and needs to be improved upon. My wife and I both go Shepard's pie and seemed to be the most bland dish I've had at a restaurant in a long time. There seemed to be no garlic, tomato paste, or thyme or parsley. Seemed the vegetables were frozen in nature. And the cheddar was tasteless in the dish as well. I want to like this place, but won't be eating again unless they up their food. read more

Atmosphere is really cool. Food was excellent. We had the spice bag appetizer, the fish and chips and the Guinness stew. All were great. Can't wait to go back! read more
