We've been here a couple times for their Monday night trivia. The trivia itself is always a really fun time. It gets crowded super fast and it's hard to get a table sometimes, so highly suggest getting there early. I've gotten drinks there before, which were pretty good. My friends have gotten food there, which they said was alright and not bad. However, every time we've gone we've always had missing items. It does get crowded during trivia, however even when we've checked on the items they've either not come at all, or have taken an hour or so to arrive. Not sure if I'd come back without the trivia. read more

Ate here a few weeks ago while family was in town, and was very happy with the experience. Just barely ordered before Happy Hour ended (or was it Super Happy Hour? I don't recall!). While I wasn't really all that hungry, I opted for the fish and chips, because it's my goto for testing this type of place on a first visit. It was HUGE fillet, with crispy breading that was properly fried. I almost couldn't finish it, which is odd for me. Could have used a lot more lemon, as one piece doesn't do much, but that's such a minor issue. The service was great, even though our server was literally on her first shift, and being shadowed by another staff member. All in all it was a great experience. read more

Went on Saturday March 16th to get food and drinks. Love the food. Been before. Sitting outside The service was very bad as I waited for 10 minutes, and finally went inside to ask if we can get service. The guy said sure and I thought he was gonna follow me out to my table of 3 but he did not. Lol. So we left. Was not busy inside at all. Just seems like no one wants to work anymore and do not care. read more

Had dinner at Castro and wanted some drinks afterwards and so we ended up at the one and only St Stephens! When we got seated we were told in order to drink and sit we also had to order some food. Hence we ended up getting: *trinity cheesecake - we weren't expecting this to be as bomb as it was but it was delicious! This was a cheesecake with some brownie and chocolate ganache and every bite was rich with deliciousness. I would actually try this again *beer - don't remmeber what my table ordered but it was enjoyed Overall good experience and I would be back! read more

For such a humble bar, the food is extremely outstanding. When you first go in and the food isn't how you like it come back and let them know. They will make the food just how you like it! Great service! Everyone at St Stevens is very friendly! read more

This Irish bar is a great place to relax or watch football matches with your friends and family. They have both indoor and outdoor seatings. They have a lot of television setup with screens to watch different kinds of sports. We went here to see the champions league final match and it was a great experience. We ordered several Guinness beers and some vegetarian appetizers like cauliflower bites and Wisconsin cheese curds. The food was fine and the ambience was really nice. The service was quick too. read more

Bar is fine, served decent drinks and food. Tonight, Jamal Corrie who was on The Voice was singing on the block entertaining his guests. He sang a few slow songs and upbeat songs. A worker from this bar went up to Jamal, gave him a cup of water and had the audacity to tell him to stop singing "depressing" songs. I applaud Jamal for standing his ground and tell him "I can sing whatever the f@#& I want. Whoever came up to Jamal, I hope he gets shamed by all the people that enjoyed Jamal's singing. 3 for food/drinks, -3 for service. I would give this place a 0 if I could. read more

We came in a Friday night to enjoy some drinks and music. I approached the dance floor area and looked over to the DJ booth to see what music might be coming next and what their whole set up looked like. I was then approached by a male patron in plaid that I had approached the dance floor strangely and that it made him uncomfortable. He then proceeded to say that the DJ was a close buddy and that he thought I was trying to pull some sketchy moves and then said "what the f*** are you trying to do?!?" I was so caught off guard that I went to go back to my friends and then we left. I told the bouncer that this person was creating an uncomfortable and hostile environment, but he didn't really seem to care. I understand looking out for friends, but in this case, I didn't even approach anyone. I walked toward the dance floor, peeked over at the DJ booth and then was verbally assaulted. The security did nothing other than apologize for the experience. Our group left and saw the same plaid guy walk up to the bouncers and DJ as if he was the king. Terrible experience read more

3.5 rating? Who makes this stuff up? This is the best Irish Pub in the Bay Area - authentic and nice servers and great bar staff. It is like going to Dublin in Mountain View but no one knows what an Irish bar is anymore so they think if they don't see a leprechaun it is a 3.5 Irish bar...I saw someone review this place 14 times- why do you give a place a 3-star review 14 times? Get a job or a life and here is an idea- if you don't like it 14 times- these guys are reviewing Magner's cider like Stephen's Green makes it. Wtf is up? Go somewhere else and complain about that! LOL- give me a break, this place is legit and people in MV are now a bunch of professional nerds and Yelp complainers so no surprise with the reviews, try it out - you will love this place! read more

Wings were amazing. Luis and Danica were great! Beer selection was really diverse and great ambience. Will come back!

Recently had lunch here with the SO and friends. We went during the weekend around 130pm and was able to eat outdoors. It looks like Mountain View has shut down this street for outdoor dining for the restaurants. I suggest camping out for tables as it's first come first serve outdoors. I got the Bruncharita to start the meal and let me tell you...it was delicious! I've recently been into spicy cocktails and this one had a good amount of kick without making it difficult to drink. I also got the Spicy Castro Burger (Are you seeing a trend here? Lol) and the SO got the Kobe burger. Both were delicious and was a good size. My on,y complaint was how messy it was to eat the burgers because of how soft the buns were. It was falling apart and if you don't watch yourself, you'll have burger juice all over you. Overall, it was a good experience and the food was good. read more

Came here with a small group of friends on a late Friday night for some drinks. I've taken off 2 stars primarily for the quality of service we received, which in my opinion was absolutely unacceptable and discriminatory. Let's start with the positives though! The ambiance and outdoor setup were great, although the heat lamps were a little too hot. The beer selection is good and we liked everything that we ordered. Now let's talk about the service. I arrived a bit late, after everyone else already had a first round of drinks. We chatted for a bit and I was waiting for our server Grace to come by to order drinks before the (I'm assuming) manager of the establishment comes over and says verbatim "if you guys aren't going to spend more money, you're going to have to go." He kept reiterating this one phrase "you need to spend more money." Never in my entire life have I been spoken to like that at any establishment! First of all, it's socioeconomic discrimination. And ridiculous because we were just about to order more drinks. Secondly we were 6 people taking up one small table in the corner, while there were plenty of the same sized tables given to parties of 2 who had been there way longer than my friends had been. That's a way less efficient usage of tables, but I suppose the manager thought it's easier to bully us than those smaller groups. I'll never know his real reasons for targeting us, but it felt very unfair and discriminatory. For this reason I don't recommend supporting this business. There are plenty of other options in the area like Eureka!, Molly Magees, and Steins Beer Garden. read more

Great feeling of being at one of the most authentic looking British pubs I have seen in South Bay. Fast and attentive service and great tasting food and beers. I met a friend from San Diego who was in the area for business trip and he also enjoyed the fact that we could talk (long catch up after 2 years not seen each other) while having the possibility to watch the sports on TVs from time to time with not too much noise (which I appreciate a lot). Great atmosphere in general, nice clientele, good place to meet old or new friends and those fish and chips are incredible! read more

We came here for a birthday party. Me and my friends had the BEST time thanks to the bartender Danica. Not only was she attentive and personable. But she made our friends birthday memorable and amazing. If you come here for nothing else, come here for Danica. If you don't like her you suck. That's ALL. read more

The vibe has changed at Stephen's Green. A Sunday morning of football and the place was almost empty. They charged me $10 for a pint and claimed it was an error, but it was a bait and switch. (we thought it was 20oz, was the actual claim) Real bummer. Won't return. I was a loyal customer but I am out on Stephens Green, they shouldn't have to do that to make business. read more

Such a cool little spot! I've been here a handful of times for some drinks with friends but today I stopped by for my lunch. I was able to sit at the bar and chat with one of the regulars and the bartender Caryl! I was torn between the steak sandwich or the spicy Castro burger. Caryl informed me that the steak sandwich is popular but the burgers are the hidden gem! It was everything I wanted and more. The burger had caramelized onions, peppers, melted pepper jack and chorizo on top! It was a lot to eat but I'm going to be really happy for my leftovers later on. Also, if you ever catch Caryl at the bar be sure to try her famous Bloody Mary, I hear she makes the best ones in town! ;-) read more

I was in the bar tonight with my girlfriend trying to enjoy the night, and someone from the backroom staff came shoving their way through the crowd. It caught me off guard, I almost spilled my drink, and I looked back at him and gave him a look (and rightfully so). He then proceeded to walk up to me and ask "what's up, nigga?" I didn't fully hear him at first. I thought he was drunk and looking for the bathroom so I asked him if he was looking for the bathroom. His reply was "what's up, nigga??" again. I definitely heard it the second time. I was kind of shocked, kind of ready to knock him out, but before I could say anything he said "no, I work here!" and walked into the kitchen. The person that had been working the door all night happened to pass through right after and I told him about the incident. I was not happy about it, obviously....the door person apologized and said he would go and find out what happened. I then saw him and another female employee talking to the employee in question in the back LAUGHING about it. Repeatedly. I am a black, 6'4", 215lb athlete, and this little racist was all of about 5'5" 120lbs soaking wet. I showed superhuman restraint considering the level of disrespect as I can't risk my career over a racist encounter in a bar...but I should NEVER be put into that kind of situation in the first place!!!! As an adult human in 2023 this is beyond unacceptable, but from your perspective, as a business, how do you treat someone this way after the spend $40 in cover charges AND over $150 in drinks for the night? I'll be using every resource at my disposal, and every professional and political connection I have here in the Bay to get restitution for this. This is unacceptable, and I am not going to let this go. I expect to hear from somebody on this staff before the weekend is over to discuss next steps. I think it would be in your best interests to make sure I hear from you before you hear from me. read more

I love St Stephens! The drinks, food, service and company make it the greatest time. They always have fresh beers on tap and have great drink specials (shout-out to the snake bite which is half Guinness half cider and the hot toddy). Their outdoor patio area is great - they have heat lamps all around, sanitizers at every table, and all servers wear masks. You NEED to try the fries with curry dip, the curry dip is seriously to die for and prob the tastiest I've ever had. Fries + curry+ beer = heaven. Props to the shepherds pie and fish n chips also. Shout out to Jimmy, Danica, and the rest of the team who are the absolute best and will take great care of you. Give this place a try to just grab a beer or for Monday trivia night! Always a great time at Stephens. read more

Here's my first ever review. I arrived at a late hour with 10 minutes until the kitchen closed and Julia got my order in and was very accommodating. I'd rate Stephens chicken sandwich 4/5 (a little dry but good.) The service however was 10/10 read more

The fish and chips is sub-par: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/st-stephens-green-mountain-view-2?select=ZrzmnoYGkB88X2B5Ar286A#ZrzmnoYGkB88X2B5Ar286A It's not nearly as good as the fish and chips at the Irish Bank in San Francisco. The coating is not light, delicate, or flavorful enough; the fish is a little mushy, and there is a thin layer of mushy batter between the fish and the crunchy batter. read more

My husband and I chose this place based on the menu. It was quite interesting when we first walked in, there was no hostess or anyone who helped us . We had to seek someone out. She let us chose our seats, wiped off the table and walked away. I had to flag her down again to get a menu. The waitress was pleasant when we saw her and took our order. That was the ONLY time we saw her. Horrid service, my husband had to get up and get his water glass filled. She never came back once the order was taken. The only saving grace was that the food was very good. I had a burger and he had the smoked salmon salad. This place has very good food, but they need to work on the service issue. We saw 2 waitresses walking around and it wasn't very crowded. Btw, we had to flag her down twice to get the bill. Argh, restaurants need to understand that service is just as important as their food. read more

Haven't been here in ages, we had a large group. The food and service both fantastic! Great energy, fun atmosphere, music all great. The fish and chips is off the charts amazing along with the onion rings, Shepard's pie and everything the group ordered was awesome. The fish and chips was the true winner perfectly cooked and breaded to perfection. Drinks were great too! read more

It's a bar and restaurant, so it gets pretty loud. Looks like lots of customers come to watch some game and there's lot of cheering and yelling. You seat yourself and flag down a server yourself. They're kind of slow and don't come by much, so it'll be hard to order or ask for something. The food took over half an hour to come out, so that was pretty disappointing. I mean, it took about 10 minutes to find someone to give us menus, then another 10-15 minutes for them to come back and take the order. Add on a little over half an hour for the food to come out. I don't usually pay attention to time, but we were putting up Pokemon lures on the two Pokestops and they ran out of time, so... yea, that's over half an hour. However, the two servers were really nice. The lady who helped with our order did check up on us after we had our order to make sure everything was good. The guy who brought out the food was very friendly. I had the house signature lamb burger because I was craving lamb. The burger was so delicious. The sauces they put in it fit it so well. I'm craving it just thinking about it right now. The potato bun had a sweet taste to it. It accentuated the taste of the lamb meat. Only thing was the burger was overall a bit dry. It would be fantastic if it was a little juicer. Also, the cajun waffle fries that came with the burger was nice and crispy. Overall great dish! read more

My friends and I came here for beer on a Thursday night, and the bar was rather empty, but there were still some people there. It was a good place to catch up, drink and talk (and eat a bit), but don't expect much else in terms of entertainment. It might be more crowded and fun on the weekends, but it was pretty open when we were there on a weeknight. read more

After an awesome conference, my startup buddy and I decided to catch up over a beer. Sadly, most places in downtown Mountain View close really early but luckily we were able to find St Stephen's and grabbed a beer. I accidentally ordered a snakebite when I meant a black velvet but it's all good. I think they used harp and cider but it was delicious nonetheless. Like many of the businesses in the area, this pub has an awesome street patio where you can chill with your dog. On a beautiful evening, there's about nothing better than to nurse a beer and hang with your best friend. I'd definitely recommend St Stephen's to anybody looking for a place to hang, and I hear their food is pretty good too! Food: 7/10 Service: 7/10 Price: $$ Atmosphere: 8/10 read more

This place is about as Irish as you will get in Mountain View. Great staff and the food is always a plus. Lots of beers on tap and enjoyable bartenders. Get a little Irish in America. Just need to get Harp on tap !! read more

We came on a Tuesday and sat outside while enjoying some live Irish music from a 7 piece band. Kilkenny cream ale was great, so was the Kobe burger. Fish and chips tasted good, big piece of fish, but breading was so crunchy. Picture the kettle chips of cod breading. Wasn't quite my style, but rounding up to 4 stars for everything else. read more

been here many times when I lived in Mountain View and stop in once in a while when I'm back. food is typical pub-fare, but there's a nice selection of draft and bottled beer and the service, both at the bar and at the tables is super nice. last weekend I stopped in with friends for a beer before heading to dinner and the waitress was so nice even though we weren't eating. my friend picked up the tab, so I hope he tipped her well! read more

You know, I really like this place. I heard the burgers were bad but the wings were good. I only got the fries and a beer. The Palo Alto hostile was one of the best IPA's I've had recently. The atmosphere is so nice. Not too loud but not too quiet. The lighting is perfect, not too bright but not too dimmed. Nice casual lights, mostly tungsten like and not white lights, no offense. Great place. read more

We had not been here in some time but were glad we thought to have lunch here. Service was friendly and very attentive. The grub we had was plentiful and delicious: House Fries, Fish & Chips, and Roasted Vegetables & Organic Tri-Color Quinoa Bowl. Daughter #1 and I shared the Fish & Chips as it came with 2 very large pieces of crispy on the outside/flaky on the inside fish. Tip: they offer standard cut (appetizer) or steak (appetizer or entree) fries! We ended up having both which made everyone in our party of 3 happy! read more

I'm really glad this place is open till a reasonable hour - 10 pm - during COVID when most places shut at 6p. Got beers with a friend tonight. It was your regular Irish pub with friendly Irish servers. They're dog friendly, so my friend was able to let his dog hang at their patio. They even brought him water and treats. Their drink selection is decent - I'd have loved to see more beers available on draft though. Wd both got some Guinness. They have the usual bar snacks- chips and other eats. I can't say much for the entrees and food, but I loved the ambiance sitting on Castro with merriment and pretty twinkling lights around. It's worth noting that pre-COVID, they used to double up as a discotheque with a dance floor during the weekends, which makes for a very weird vibe. I much prefer sitting down in a dark corner with a date or friend and drinking my stout in peace. All in all, a decent place for a bite and a drink. read more

One of our favorite places. Bbq wings are the best! Sitting outside is very comfortable. Service today (6/2) was spot on!

Posted outside on the menu: Happy Hour 4-6pm, a small list of draft beer $5 (Guiness, Lagunitas IPA, etc.) 2 IPA's at 5:40pm turned out more than $13. Bartender stated that $5 before 5:30pm. Where did it say so anywhere? Draft beer not a pint, too foamy and not cold. Badly managed and deceptive. Will NOT be back for drinks. read more

St Stephens is definitely open but only for take out. I got take out four times since the shelter in place. Twice I got cocktails togo. This works really well. I paid for a single French 75 and got a double in a mason jar. So sting but in a delicious way. Third time I ordered dinner for the whole family. The best meals were the Irish pub food. My son loved his shepherds pie and my husband enjoyed the a sausage dish. We called at 7:30, just as the kitchen was closing, so don't forget to call a little early. I recommend calling before 7:00. Finally we ordered a late lunch of Caprese salad and two almond crusted chicken sandwiches. These were AWESOME sandwiches with excellent texture, flavor and great bread. We didn't get alcohol this time because we had the food delivered by a robot called Starship. We live close to Castro Street so we were able to use Starship. It was so fun and cute but beat of all our food came fast and still hot. read more

I've been going to this restaurant for many years. My favorite to order is Chicken Curry and Smoked Salmon on Irish Soda Bread. Both are always delicious. And the service is good too. I enjoy the atmosphere of this restaurant as well. You can watch some sports on their big screen TVs while eating or just to chat with our friends. Would definitely be back. read more

Great food, great service, great atmosphere, excellent. I stopped by on a Thurs. night to watch football and have some food. Was plenty of seating. I ordered Fish and Chips, which was fantastic. It was 2 huge, fluffy, fillets of haddock, perfectly cooked, and served on top of a huge pile of steak cut French fries (love steak cut!!), also perfectly cooked, and with a grilled lemon on the side (nice touch). I must say, I was very pleasantly surprised as, I didn't expect such quality from a small, Mnt Vw bar (Well, the place is good size actually...). I went to the bar to get a good "sipp'n" whiskey and the bar tender was delightful. Smiling, sincere, knowledgeable and happy to help. They had several American games on to enjoy (Football, basketball, hockey but, no stink'n soccer, thank you!!). Music wasn't blasting, like other places in Mnt Vw I won't name rather, it was at very nice level, were you could enjoy it, enjoy the games and still easily converse. I had two waitresses who were excellent, pleasant, attentive, helpful. Lastly, place was clean too. Not just the physical bar but, I could see and taste, in the food, that they used fresh, cleaned cooking oil. Bravo! Whoever's managing this place is doing a great job. Please keep up the great quality. This will be my new favorite Mnt Vw hang out going forward. read more

Love love loved the sausage rolls!!! Happy Hour is a must! Easy to get a table, great food, great atmosphere. Nice people. I will be back!!

Came here to chill on a week night to grab some drinks with co-workers. The olympics were on and i was pretty happy there were This place offers a lot of foreign beers and I had to try one out. The magnificient beer was called the franziskaner weissbier and it's from Germany. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I thought it went down nice and smooth. Around 930pm the music became louder and the center area ws converted into a dance floor. Once that happened, the place became more grimey and I was ready to leave since I could no longer have a conversation without yelling into people's ears. I guess this is their way of kicking us out. read more
