    The bar!
    Wesley A.

    Best drinks you'll find in these parts. Ask for a tour. There's more than meets the eye. A total vibe.

    The best old fashion I have ever had!

    Best bar in east Texas hands down! Great selection of spirits and killer cigar room. Even a cool court yard out back.

    Gillespie's is located in "The Shire" of far northeastern Richardson, TX along the President George…read moreBush Tollway 190, off of Jupiter Road. Plenty of free parking, but it fills-up, as the Silver Fox bar is neighbor. A glass of Smithwick's draught beer, and a snack from the excellent menu brought me here, as well as the joyous & vibrant crowd. A live Irish band was setting up on the stage, but I had other things scheduled for my Saturday night. For now, college football was on the bigscreen above me, staff was busy with all seats along the bar taken, and I looked thru the amazing food menu of Irish & UK style dishes, with some San Patricio dishes from Mexico! The San Patricio Brigade of the Army of Mexico in 1846 were Irish conscripts that deserted the US Army invasion into Mexico due to Protestant American officers not allowing the Irish troops to attend Mass in the Mexican cathedrals. Then, most of the Irish "deserted", to defend Mexico from this invasion dreamed-up by U.S. President Polk to create more new States for Dixie to expand (Polk was a slave holder). The Irish ran the line of cannons for Mexico to win one battle, but Mexico was running low on bullets & supplies by now, and doomed for a loss. (If the Irish had just waited 2 more weeks, it would have been over with). Alas, the US Army quickly executed 30 of the Irish San Patricios in a mass hanging, while a group were hot-branded a letter "D" on their faces for "Deserter". (If seen again in USA, anyone could hang them) However, an untold amount escaped into the hills of Mexico, and married into the families. The Saint Patrick's Brigrade has a monument in Mexico. And USA gained the territory that Polk wanted, while a junior Congressman named Lincoln shook his head, yet had plans of his own. Meanwhile, Mexico would have another revolution in 1910, and a young Irish Mexican boy would enter USA with his family to end up in Los Angeles where young Anthony Quinn became a promising young architect, married a 35-year old woman who arranged acting lessons for him, giving the movie industry a macho man star. Come over to Gillespie's for more stories & cold pints! And good food, and live music!

Since we were really stopping in for drinks and apps we did not get to experience a lot of the menu. The fish and chips is something I will definitely try next time. We had the app sampler, cup of soup and a few drinks. Wife loved her blackberry lemon drop house drink. The app sampler really surprised us in a good way. The fried cheese and corned beef/reuben egg rolls were out of this world. The potato skins and jalapeño poppers were good too but as mentioned the other two items were on a higher level of greatness.

    Want to go to an Irish pub and want to experience what it is like to go to an Irish pub locally?…read moreThen go here. Called ahead to make sure they were open since it was a holiday weekend and were greeted like friends and regulars when we arrived. Truly genuine welcome. We ordered the fish and chips and Guiness stew. Both excellent choices. Next time I would like to try the shepherds pie because it's one of the top three most popular ordered dishes. The stew... I do not want to oversell it, the meat was bite sized and tender. The soup had a slight sweet tang. Apparently a recipe that has been perfected over the last decades. Delicious.

    What's great spot for good food, drinks and service…read more Right when you walk inside you're greeted with a sense of coziness. Stopped in little after lunch time and surprised to see full bar and few tables. I had coconut with me so we sat outside on the patio. Roadie and Kat are very friendly and welcoming. They provided water dish for coconut. We ordered fried green beans and onion rings for appetizers. The green beans are addicting. I really didn't even need ranch for them. They were tasty on its own. If i see clam chowder it is a must to try. Was not disappointed, ordered ab extra cup Togo for a friend to try it out. The fish n chips just wow. The fish is so flakey and tender. I heard everything here is 99% made from scratch. You can tell the chef is very good. Will be back to visit Kat and Roadie. Even all the patrons are very friendly. Also to get more green beans, clam chowders and try other dishes!
