    Flavor Burst:  cherry vodka, lemon, pineapple, Midori, triple sec, grenadine
    Tiffany C.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.)

    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.

    Gilroy Garlic Burger with Fries and salad!
    Chris C.

    The food was delicious and good hearty portions. People were friendly and attentive. Cool ambiance if you like that family sports bar feel.

    Amazing Bloody Mary!
    Anita D.

    We love this restaurant! It's so kid-friendly and the food is incredible. Super laid-back and fun vibe. I love they have a fun area for kids too. Taylor had such incredible customer service and was so kind to my kids! She was so warm and friendly. We already loved the food, but honestly, her customer service was sooo amazing, we'd be back just for that! We love this place so much!!

    Small Wedge Salad

    What makes Pop's Public House so incredible? The Staff! No matter how busy they are, the staff takes the time to greet you & help you order. We had great service from "tall" Taylor - she was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations for our food and drinks. Especially yummy were the fried pickles, chicken tortilla soup, and wings. The great selection of beer kept us drinking along with the bad & boozie sangria. The kids spaghetti and kids chicken tenders were a hit with our children. The constant sweeping of the floor kept Pop's looking fresh. We love Pop's!

    Mac and cheese
    Shannon D.

    After watching an episode of Beat Bobby Flay, we wanted loaded fries, and boy, did Pop's deliver! Delicious! Our cocktails were also great and the service was super friendly.

    Ahi tuna nachos
    Crystal G.

    Great and friendly service. Free soda refills and good size portions. Great to come with friends or family to support your favorite sports team. The ahi tuna nachos were good, but the ratio of chips to tuna was off - way too many chips. Otherwise great! Would come back to try their dessert and other menu items!

    Rick C.

    The selection the flavors and the casual atmosphere. But the best was our server Taylor- she was the bomb!!!! Fun energetic great personality. We had the Whisky Burger, Cali Fusion Burger, and the Garlic Burger. Two with sweet potato fries and one with regular plus side salads with balsamic vinaigrette. Yum yum yum. The only reason it wasn't a 5-star rating was the tap ice water tasted a little off to me. But my tastebuds were funky that day I can't wait to return and try more stuff

    Calamari
    Janine F.

    We were in the area after shopping at the Gilroy Outlets so we decided to swing by. For our appetizer, we ordered the calamari. It was crispy and well seasoned. The sauce it came with complimented it perfectly. For my entree, I ordered the spicy J burger with fries as I saw it's one of the more popular options. The salad it came with didn't have much dressing unfortunately so I felt like I was just eating leaves. I should've asked for more dressing. Let me tell you, I was only able to eat half of it as it was so filling in addition to the appetizer. I didn't think it would actually be very spicy, but boy was I wrong! My lips were hot haha! My own fault though! Caden was our server and he was attentive and very nice. The ambiance was lively for a Saturday afternoon!

    Pop's Burrito no coleslaw! So yummy!

    Ask the Community - Pop's Public House

    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.

I had to put my ball back in my bag and use the house balls and roll like a kid to get my moneys worth. For $40 an hour for a solo bowler on a Tuesday, being the ONLY bowler in the building is absurd. Don't want to absolutely rip the place, but for a regular bowler with expectations, this place is not for you. BUT, it is very clean and the staff was all very nice(except for the owner giving his trainee weird attitude for asking for help ringing me up). The vibe is upscale and is probably very fun for the average bowler looking for a good time. Comfy couches and good drinks, probably a great place to have a gathering or meet up friends.

They just do a few a little differently I noticed. When I come, I order a pound of shrimp: jellyfish smack, medium, with an addition of sausage. (Corn and potatoes too if I'm feeling really hungry.)

It normally isn't too busy and they provide you with all the utensils: a bucket to dump ur shells, a bib, gloves, salt, pepper and lime if you need it as well.

We ordered garlic butter noodles 4 Yam fries 5 flavorful and crispy with a spicy dip. Seafood boil 4.5 good quality and flavors, I felt it was a tad salty, but I won't complain. Unlike the other seafood boil places the food came in a ceramic serving tray. We ordered the house sauce with medium spice with shrimp, king crab and clams.The spice level was perfect and so was the sauce. Very pleased with this service, portions, pricing and the flavors. Definitely coming back to taste several other items on the menu. I would have loved for them to play some music rather than the silence. I wasn't too bothered. Y it though since I was too focused on the food.

The music playing was loud mariachi type which is fine by me. I'll mention that my guy friend and I are as white as they come and I was nervous going to this establishment as it's obviously geared towards the Hispanic community. However, there were no problems and we all got along just fine. I mention the race thing because unless you've been living under a rock, there's always a divide between Hispanics and whites and whatever and a lot of the community assumes it's too dangerous to be downtown at night because of that fact. I was born and raised in Gilroy I know how it goes . However I refuse to let that keep anybody from relaxing and having a good time..it's ridiculous to hate for no reason. There were no problems we had fun. Thank goodness there is an establishment open til 2am on most nights. We've been there twice so far. Second time was more crowded and it was a good time, no fights and no super drunk people Bring quarters for pool, there's only 2 tables. People were nice enough to let us play instead of claiming a table for the night. I would give 5 stars if they had shuffleboard and more pool tables. Maybe open earlier also like 12 for those that want to spend a day off practicing their pool game.
