    Chilling out waiting for charcuterie
    Adam K.

    This is downstairs scaled-back lesser version of the Bluebird Cocktail Room. It has a lounge feel and doesn't take itself too seriously. They're only open on the weekend, so when my wife and I wanted to switch it up, we left the Cocktail Room and bounced down here. The menus are definitely more condensed than what you'll find upstairs - there were only 5 signature cocktails and only a couple foods. They had homestyle chips, some fancy peanuts, and everything else is cheese or ham for a fancy board. I was advised to go here for good charcuterie, so my wife and I figured we'd try it out. The cheeses were delightful - some sort of blue and some soft goat cheese and Virgina-raised smoked Ibérico ham was delightful. While nothing tops Spanish Jamón Ibérico de Bellota, this local twist on the ham was very pleasant. The whole board came with onion jam, Dijon mustard, some slices of pickled beets and jalapeños, as well as some toasted bread. We also ordered the peanuts, which weren't as sweet as I thought they'd be, but had a pleasant spice kick. The drinks were fine. I enjoyed my Old Fashioned - I've had better, but this was still up there. My wife got the Seelbach, which we both agreed had a fish-tank kind of funk (but somehow in a good way?!), and she enjoyed its boozy complexity. Unlike upstairs, they will come to your table and take your order and are relatively speedy about it all. It's not the cheapest place and probably not a place to have a substantial filling dinner, but it is a place to have some fancy small plates and some drinks.

    Came here after leaving the cocktail room, which is right upstairs . We sat at the bar, where I enjoyed my ginger beer ; ) the guys enjoyed their old fashions.

    Yelp Fam I just discovered the little brother to one of my favorite spots to get a cocktail. The Bluebird Cocktail room is a Staple in Hampden. Recently I read that they purchased the basement of the current location and made it a pub. I was excited to to try it ,luckily on Sunday my Gf & I ended up in Hampden to try the Bluebird Pub. It's an intimate pub with bar seating and tables. They have a huge whiskey selection, you could say it's their specialty. We were greeted as we entered and our bartender(s) were very nice. I have a few recommendations The old fashioned- this was probably the best one I've ever had. They have mastered this classic, it was extremely smooth. House whiskey hints of vanilla, A huge square shaved ice cube and orange peel. The Pub Burger- the Double Pub Burger was excellent, really hit home for me. Again one of the best burgers I've ever had without question. It's not a question of if I would return it's really when, truly a great experience in a intimate environment with wonderful drinks and great food. Do yourself a favor and check out The Bluebird Pub.

    $28 cheese board. One goat and one cow milk cheese, no silverware or plates. Fingers only.

    Got delievery from Mick O'Shea's for dinner recently when my husband really wanted fish and chips…read more I also got the bangers & mash and crawfish etouffee. The food came very well packaged. We loved every single thing. The bangers and mash might have been our favorite, it was super flavorful, and they even included some mustard to go along with it. My husband ate most of it. We were impressed with the portion sizes as well. The fish and chips were delicious. The fish was super flakey and not dry. Even the crawfish etouffee was super tasty. Were already talking about getting over there to eat in person. This will definitely be our go to Irish pub.

During our…read morestay at Hotel Indigo we initally walked past this bar headed back to our hotel and it seemed dead and dark inside; looks can be deceiving please go on in. When we arrived back at our hotel bar they were about to close and suggested we check out this place. We followed there advice and were so glad we did. Upon entry they appeared to be closng down and said they go with the number of patrons to determine their closing time. This worked out greatly as once we arrived and only two other patrons were at the bar a swarm soon followed. Our favorite bartender is Laura. I noticed a huge difference in her making my drink and the other bartenders who only ask for your order but give no suggestions, do not offer to allow you to sample something on tap, and the potency. I soon realized that I will only recommend this place to others if Laura is the bartender. There were times we wanted to try something new, she asked a few questions and handcrafted us the perfect drink. Her personality was amazing, drinks were strong, and she kept people wanting to drink and be apart of the banter. If Laura isn't there I am not going. We went two nights in a row and the second night we were there we brought with us a couple we met who were in Bmore from Cleveland for a cruise. They enjoyed the place but it was missing her personality, patrons, and the drinks weren't as handcrafted, special or potent. now for the food. This is by far a pub with the best food I have ever tasted. I ordered the fish and chips that was an amazing fleshy piece of cob hand breaded and a jambalaya that too this day I am still dreaming about with its chunks of chicken breast, sauteed small pieces of sausage and gravy like texture filled with flavor that was bold and packed a welcomed punch. My partner had some type of irish sausage dish and loved it. We will return to visit Laura this spring for our next rendevous here for sure.

The place is incredibly clean, nicely decorated, and just welcoming. I was seated promptly, and my waitress recommended the Irish stew, which is what I went with. She also recommended a very tempting tasting flight, and I'm not going to admit to enjoying that while on lunch break. I'm not denying it. I'm just not admitting it. The stew was fantastic and really hearty. It warmed me up almost as much as the flight of... tea did. I couldn't resist getting dessert. The bread pudding was delicious and worth going back for on it's own.

My wife saw they had black bean soup and a pork special, so we decided to stay and were seated. Since our last visit about a year ago, they've made some changes. The seating has been updated, with a second bar added along with high-top tables and booths. The space looks very nice. Our server came over, took our drink order, and we asked for a bowl of the black bean soup. When he returned, my wife asked how the pork special was, and he said it was very good, so she ordered it. I ordered the cod fish and chips. When the food came out, everything looked good at first. Unfortunately, the fish and chips were very greasy -- it seemed like the fries were placed on the plate to soak up the grease from the fish. My wife's pork dish was worse. She was given two slices with connective tissue running through them that were so tough she couldn't even get a fork into them. The other piece was also extremely tough and difficult to cut, and the gravy had no flavor. When our server finally came back to check on us, my wife showed him the pork. His response was simply that he would let the manager know and take it off the bill. There was no offer to replace the dish or bring her something else to eat. After that, we never saw him again. My wife eventually asked another server for tea, which a different server brought. Later, another server came by to see if we were finished. I asked how much the eggnog was, and she quoted the price for a bottle, said I just want a glass, she said I'll get you a menu I explained to another waitress I just wanted a glass. Eventually, I got it -- though I asked for it without ice, and it still came with ice. At that point, I just drank it. The best thing was the bean soup. Overall, this was not a good meal and honestly the worst experience we've had in the 10+ years we've been coming here. Between the food quality and the lack of follow-up from our server, it was very disappointing. It will be quite a while before we return.

In March 2018, my girlfriend at the time wanted to go here as there was a group of people going for St. Patrick's Day. We went here along with her young pre-teen daughter. They almost weren't going to let us in, but my g/f assured we just needed to eat, and they said since it was before 9 PM, it'd be ok. I enjoyed my Shepherd's Pie, a solid option here. After eating, there was dancing on the dance floor and a couple of people I knew. Then, my g/f went out to the dance floor. I'm sitting at the table with my g/f's pre-teen daughter who fell asleep. It was awkward for me especially since someone asked me if she was ok, and I said she's just tired. We left sometime in the midnight hour. But the fact of the matter was that my g/f shouldn't have put her daughter in that situation. On a positive, her daughter graduated high school & is still alive today in 2025, so her mom did something right. The other time I was here was in February 2023. I decided to have my birthday party at Copper Canyon in downtown Silver Spring. Then, a few of us were willing to hang longer asking what I wanted to do. I said I remember McGinty's was a good Irish pub. So, I had a couple of more drinks here. Staff was nice and helpful getting me drinks. Overall, I like McGinty's as it's a cute Irish pub with live entertainment, dance floor, & good Shepherd's Pie.

The servers were friendly and prompt, and cheerfully gave us separate checks when it was time to pay. But, unless you like your beer warm, the drinks may disappoint you. My beet salad with goat cheese and grapefruit was beautifully described on the menu - enough to seduce me to order something that was not an Irish classic - but was not enjoyable enough to finish. The fries were good though, and the fried fish that others ordered looked to be perfectly done. So perhaps I'll come back when I'm in the mood for some classical fare. Too bad about the beer though.,,

Like definitely questions we could answer, the recall is the hardest part ESPECIALLY after having an orange crush. There was about 15 teams that participated and you have to get there early. We ordered a bunch of apps and entrees. I enjoyed my buffalo chicken dip and the fries are gas. It was so good. But I wasn't a fan of my jerk chicken tenders. I ordered an orange crush which was also really good. Service was cool. The girl check on our table constantly to make sure we were good. For parking to save our coins and time, we parked on UMDs campus and walked along the trail to the pub which only took 7-10 mins and UMD parking is free after 4pm. Honestly my coworkers and I would definitely come back again for happy hour or trivia. It's a vibe.
