    Found this spot after a trip to Gilroy Gardens. We were intrigued by the kids menu. Being a mom I have to be aware of restaurants that are kid friendly. We came as a bigger group and they were able to accommodate us. Staff was very friendly and fix a salda dressing error right away. I got the shepards pot pie. I was in heaven. They used a blend of ground beef and chorizo and it was so flavorful. My husband got a burger and it was massive. He didn't have any leftovers. Someone in my group got the chicken tortilla soup and i wished I had a bowl to myself. I love that this spot was a great mix of American, Irish and Mexican foods. I will definitely be back to try more items.

    Avocado toast

    We stopped by there after a berry picking in gilroy, the shop and staff are decent. It's very American old-styled sports bar. Brunch was available Sunday until around noon. I ordered avocado toast, the portion was big, over easy egg, potato, bacon, veggies. However the avocado was not from a spread, just sliced avocados. But I like their decent and quality of sources.

    Fish and chips

    Food was good. Service was friendly. Casual atmosphere. Walked in at 7:00 on a Friday night and they seated our party of 7 almost immediately. The beer was cold! :) The food is a bit different from most pub fare, as they've put their own spin on classic dishes. Melted cheese on top of a shepherds pie and servered with garlic bread (we'll... It's Gilroy). The fish and chips seemed to be panko breaded. All of it was very good, but still atypical of you classic Irish and British pub food. I am only rarely in town, but would definitely return next time.

    Food was great, service was amazing, and the entire atmosphere of the restaurant was perfect. The drinks were delicioussss, highly recommend the margarita with the wine on top. Pops got an amazing spot. Ask for Taylor (Tall Taylor) she's the best!!

    Came here during a San Jose Sharks watch party and Mike and Christian made a real good Flavor Burst. Both were awesome and got my food and drinks out quick. I will definitely come here again for the alcohol drink again.

    Tried this place for the second time and I loved it both times. Both times the services were excellent. The server was helpful and extremely efficient. It was busy however we were seated right away without reservation. There is a pool table and full bar, very chill vibes. The whiskey burger was super flavorful and delicious, very big as well. The drinks were also 10/10. My friend tried the michelada and said it was one of the best ones she had. The menu consisted of more than burgers, there were daily specials and pasta options. Overall will be returning and recommend if you're in the area.

    Chicken Cobb salad. Amazing.

    I highly recommend POP's place. Good vibes, good food, good service. Anytime I'm passing through I will be sure to stop by this wonderful place. The staff were fantastic. It's clearly a place the locals enjoy. I felt right at home.

    Great neighborhood joint for the family to get some solid food and drinks. Lots of TVs to watch the game, big bar for cocktails and great service to make it all happen. I got the burger with onion rings and it was huge. Everything was tasty and the prices are solid.

    Although this place has a bar vibe, still feels like a family friendly place to grab a bit to eat. When we walked in, we already saw a few families seated. Service was warm and fairly quick. We were asked if there was anything we wanted to drink as we were seated and handed menus. We went with the garlic butter wings, caesar salad, pops pub burger, and a mojito and a sabrina's sancho for drinks. The wings were crispy, though perhaps just a wee bit oily, the caesar salad felt like it went for days, and the burger was so filling, messy, and cooked to the right temperature. Their drink menu was fun and hard to choose! I liked sabrina's sancho, but it was a little too sweet. I think if I added just a bit more alcohol to it, it would have hit the spot. The mojito was strong, but also a lot of good flavor. Overall, a great spot for a yummy bite to eat.

    Cheese burger with Irish Cheddar.

    Came in last night on our way to Monterey. Oh my goodness! Service was fantastic- thank you Christian! He was hustling the entire time, was quick with refills (unprompted), knew the menu well, and was very sociable. He would chat a bit with each table, but kept it light and quick so no table felt left unattended. The food was AH-mazing. The hubs got a burger and I got the chicken Alfredo pasta. Everything was epic. (Fair warning the pasta had whole cloves of garlic in it. Very good! But when it's covered in Alfredo sauce, it can be a bit surprising.)

    Food is delicious and portion sizes are huge. Service is great. Very cute inside love the Irish bar ambience they have going on.

    Pop's Burrito no coleslaw! So yummy!

    Since I see they have outdoor seating, Are they dog friendly?

    Yes! Dog friendly!

    How is there fish n chips? Are the “chips” steak fries or crinkle cut fries? Is it like “The Claddaugh” version from back in the days?

    I can't speak to the "fish" portion of the question (other than seeing that it was a generous portion as a plate went by our table), but the "chips" are steak fries (and tasty ones at that).

    Do you have a take out menu?

    Their website has menus.

    Tried this place for the first time on a Friday night. The restaurant was packed, but we were…read moreseated promptly, which was nice. I ordered the steak sandwich, which was a 10/10. My daughter ordered the Gilroy garlic pasta, which was also delicious. My son ordered the mac and cheese from the kids' menu, and my wife ordered the lettuce wraps. The food took a while to come out, but given how busy the restaurant was, that was understandable. Up until we received the bill, the evening was nearly perfect. Unfortunately, that's when things took a disappointing turn. The $19 lettuce wraps ended up costing us $31. During the ordering process, my wife asked our server, Jesus C., how the lettuce wraps came. He explained that she could choose chicken, salmon, or both, with 6 ounces of each. She chose both, not realizing that selecting those options would result in an additional charge. I take responsibility for not specifically asking whether there would be an extra charge. However, I also believe that when a menu item has a listed price and a customer is given additional protein options, the server should clearly explain that choosing those options will increase the price. Simply presenting them as available choices without mentioning an additional charge is misleading and creates an unpleasant surprise when the bill arrives. Unfortunately, a similar situation happened later in the meal. My 4-year-old son ate his mac and cheese very quickly. Jesus noticed and asked if he would like more. I agreed, again because no additional charge was mentioned. We expected to pay the $9 listed price for the kids' meal, only to find that we had been charged $18. I understand that restaurants charge for additional portions and upgrades, and I have no issue paying for something when the cost is clearly communicated beforehand. My concern is that, in both situations, we were not informed that additional charges would apply. Overall, this experience was disappointing. I left feeling like the pricing had not been communicated transparently, which unfortunately overshadowed what otherwise would have been an excellent meal. All that was needed was a simple statement such as, "There will be an additional charge for that." Moving forward, I will certainly make sure to ask about additional charges before agreeing to anything. However, I also believe the responsibility should be on the restaurant to clearly communicate pricing when customers are offered upgrades or additional portions. I will also be contacting Santa Clara County Weights and Measures to ask whether these pricing practices comply with applicable requirements. Update: After posting my review, the manager followed through and promptly contacted me regarding my concerns. We had a productive conversation, and the issue was resolved to our satisfaction. I appreciate the manager taking the time to personally reach out, listen to our concerns, and make things right. While our original experience was disappointing, I'm pleased with how the restaurant handled the situation afterward. That level of follow-through is appreciated and speaks positively to their commitment to their customers.

    We had a great experience with Gilroy Bowl! We originally made a reservation to take our boys…read morebowling for the first time, but unfortunately there was a festival happening in downtown Gilroy and, because of all the road closures, we couldn't get anywhere close to the bowling alley. I called and spoke with the manager, Saulo, who was incredibly understanding and worked with us to move our reservation to the following day. When we came back, Saulo and the entire staff were welcoming, hospitable, and accommodating. Our boys have special needs, and since this was their first time bowling, it was definitely a new experience for them. The staff was patient, kind, and made us feel completely comfortable. That meant a lot to us as parents and made what could have been a stressful outing into a really enjoyable family experience. Huge thank you to Saulo and the entire Gilroy Bowl staff for taking such great care of our family. We'll definitely be back. Additionally, the food and drinks were top tier!! 10/10 -- highly recommend!

First off, the environment and atmosphere is perfect, it's a hangout/lounge, with a bar, a dining area, and of course the lanes. The couches are extremely comfortable, to where you can hangout and drink for hours. All the staff was extremely and accommodating for a Saturday in all sections, bar, bowling and food staff. Lanes felt well waxed without any big grooves or dents which is always a plus. My only complaint would be that the cheese literally falls off the pizza when you take a bite. But other than that, had a great time with the family and will definitely return and recommend this alley to others!
