Surprise food menu! Typical dive bar setup - big old fashion bar as soon as you get in. There is a room with no frills wooden tables and chairs for people who want to sit down to eat. Many TVs around showing various sport games. I expected the typical bar food which was good. I was hoping for Irish food like Shepherds Pie which was very good! I didn't expect to see innovative choices like corn beef egg rolls- unfortunately they ran out so I couldn't taste it. I will go back to try again. I also didn't expect to see offerings like coconut shrimp, stuffed shitaki mushroom, and sesame ahi tuna - which we had and was very good. Very nice surprise menu in a very unpretentious venue. read more

Terrible!! Talk about a really dive! Outside looks nice! Wait until you go i side youc.. What an old man's dirty bar! Never again! What a waste of space! read more

the girl bartenders always seem pretty annoyed but in their defense their always running around on busy nights. I've never had their food but if you're going to the bar on a busy night just be prepared to wait for a while. If you're local its a nice place to stop for a drink but I wouldn't travel more than the distance from my house to come here. read more

Came for decent food and a cold beer. Left with a sense of dread, lack of pride and self respect, a nihilistic outlook on life, and we will all die alone and be forgotten. I need a shower. read more

I moved to Monroe two years ago and pass Ryan's on the way to almost everywhere I go. Have never gone here to eat or drink but have ordered food to take out numerous times. Please believe me....THE BEST BURGER YOU WILL EVER HAVE!!! Everything is always ready when they say it will be...never had to wait long. The staff is also very polite. read more

Hit and miss food. Good Burger or chicken Sandwich. Great wings. Had one or two problem dishes. last time there my food was cold. they also need another set of hands read more

Good local place worth trying. Fish nn chips r yummo and the burgers are delish. The service is top notch.

Some teacher friends and I came here after a glow run at Englishtown was canceled. Seemed as if it was a lot of locals. The staff was friendly and we had a great time singing karaoke. If we are ever in the area again, I would definitely stop by! read more

Bartender was too slow. Took about 2 hours to get food 2 drinks and the check. He was too busy taking shots with other patrons to pay attention to us. Got our orders all messed up. The food wasn't even that great 4/10 read more

Our family gathering at Ryan's Pub was wonderful. The staff was extremely accommodating and very friendly. The food was excellent. I would definitely go back. read more

Best reason to go to Ryan's: the food. Excellent bar food. I've never been disappointed with my meal. Service might be slow if you go when it is packed, but that is any bar. Townie crowd might turn some people off, but I've never had a problem. Ryan's is a solid spot to grab a burger and a couple pints. read more

Great neighborhood pub and food was great! Try the fish & chips ,pizza wings and club sandwich were delicious

This is without a doubt a neighborhood bar. They serve food and booze. You can buy beer to take home, too. I personally do not fit in with the crowd in this bar, but at the same time, I have nothing bad to say about this place. read more

Food is awesome!!! Never had anything I didn't like. Drinks are fairly priced. Bathrooms are clean. The crowd gets a little douchey on Friday nights, but for the most part, people are pretty nice. Bartenders are friendly, too! read more

You can't beat this place for quality, value and a great time! Nice bar layout, plenty of screens, great food and service. The kitchen uses the best ingredients and it shows. Great burgers and sandwiches and nice variety of hit the spot apps. read more

Ryan's is a good local bar. Also good for families in the dining room. They have great deals every night! Thursday is great pizza, buy one get one free! The new shock top crisp apple is really yummy. They always change their beers on tap and their food is really good! read more

Been here three times, greater service greater prices, I tried something different on the menu each time and have not been disappointed the food is delicious and fresh. Highly recommended!!!! read more

My favorite local bar! Karaoke night is such a hit every week. The bartenders are so quick and rest at what they do. They even have an outside seating area that makes it feel like you're in your own backyard. I love the overall feel of the place. read more

For a dive bar this is the place to be. Food is good beer is cold. Bartenders are also great.

Ryan's is close to my house and every now and then I go to watch a game or get away from the kids for a hour or so. The tv's are not HD, but they have a lot of them on the plus side. They have really good bar pies and decent wing. The sandwiches are big, so I usually have to take half home. The bartenders are cute and rely on that rather than service and friendliness. But as stated in other review good drink prices, I guess that is why I would go back. read more

Ryans is the greatest place ever. Awesome food and drinks.. they always have fun stuff going on-live music, wine paint parties, karaoke, dj's,, I Ryans!!! read more

Good bar food and very reasonably priced. There is a female bar tender (she has blonde hair, medium build) who has a major attitude with customers and even her boss that does diminishes the experience. If possible avoid having her serve you and enjoy the good food and solid cocktails. The rubin is amazing, pilled high with cornbeef or pastrami severed on crispy rye bread with melted cheese - enough to split with another person especially if you order an appetizer to accompany. Try the Ryan's Patty - A LARGE burger with any topping one can imagine! Cheesesteak is worth the money and is made with good quality steak. Do not order the Quesdillas, not good at all, but its okay because an Irish pub probably isn't the best place to order Mexican. Overall Ryan's is a great Irish Pub in a sweet neighborhood! ! ! read more

Stopped for a quick bite to eat. Not pleased. Place dirty, restrooms were filthy. Bartenders couldn't be bothered taking order. To busy talking to friends. Asked to speak to manager and apparently (Gina) was to busy doing nothing. Time to hire another manager and get bartenders who care! read more

We go here with the kids all the time. The staff is friendly and they don't get mad when the kids act like kids. The wings and bar pies are great. Its a great neighborhood restaurant! read more

I went to this establishment once and never again. It was a slow night and there were three misersble bartenders on and it still took me 20 mins to get a drink even tho they were just standing around doing nothing. I got a blue moon and I asked for a glass and an orange with it. Another 20 mins later and having to ask thr other two bartenders I finally got my glass and orange. I then decided to order some food. I got a sandwich figuring it would be fast because I was starving. After an hour and a half wait I finally got my overcooked burger that was cold and hard as a rock. I complained and the bartender didn't seem to care much. Never even asked if I wanted something else or a new one. I would never go to this establishment again. I would rather drink at home. Also a man was stabbed outside in there parking lot a month or two ago... Its just another dumpy bar. read more

This is a two sided review. I hope the owner takes time to read this and takes constructive criticism. First, look at your reviews frequently, I don't know the rules of Yelp but someone posted a picture of a competitor. If it were my business I would request it be removed. We did enjoy ourselves last night. A group of us came to see the band. I've lived in Monroe for years and never knew they had bands on weekends. Post a sign or get a marquee to draw people in. The food was decent and reasonably priced. My wife and I had the salmon special. Nicely done and plated well. Higher end bar food. Our friends went the traditional route with corned beef, Reuben, etc. Good sized portions and they all said it was very good. Cudos to the chef! Now onto the bar. Our waitress was pleasant, but seemed a little overwhelmed. The first thing we asked for was a beer menu, she said they don't have one and there were too many to remember. This isn't her fault, management should have a beer and drink menu available for the staff. The owner introduced himself and heard me asking about a type of beer and immediately brought me a sample. He was engaging and it looked like he was on top of everything. When our beers arrived none of them had a head. I don't know why, maybe it was how it was poured u Sam Adams always has a head. It's difficult to pour a quae beer and not build a head. One suggestion, dress like an owner, make yourself stand out. If you didn't tell me you were the owner I never would have known. All that being said, we will be back for dinner at the very least. It's a fun higher end dive bar. read more
