Great service, loved the Irish bar scenery! I had the fish & chips, cod was flaky and outside crunchy!! Will definitely be back! read more

This is a decent downtown dallas bar. It's a bit of a dive and doesn't have anything super special about it. They do have good beers on draft but their cocktail game is lacking. Not surprising, given their name but they could try a little harder. I don't find the wait staff super inviting and friendly and I've only been once so it could have been an off night. I also think since it's in downtown that the scene is a little dead most nights. read more

This place is amazing. You wouldn't expect an Irish pub to have amazing wings and other non-traditional Irish/British/Scottish type food. The Crafty Irishman nails it. Not being from Dallas I gotta say the food scene in Texas is top notch. I haven't had a single bad style of food yet. Definitely go here for a beer and some amazing food, the service and ambiance were also fantastic and attentive. Thanks for the special experience while on vacation. read more

We were out and about and stopped here for a pint. Nice evening so we stayed outside. Ultimately he decided he wasn't really hungry after all but I still wanted a little something. Instead of a full meal I just got the pretzels. I was surprised for the price that it was two pretzels. Had plenty of cheese and mustard but it was more than I'm used to so I didn't make it all the way through the second one. Server was really friendly and prompt. I would've liked to try more of a meal but the pints and app did me right. read more

Not a single complaint for this place! We came in after Tiesto AT&T discovery concert on st pattys day. It was late night so it was not as busy. Food was bomb AF, we loved everything we ordered. Scotch eggs was better than some I've had in Europe. Fish and chips were well seasoned and flavorful. Boyfriend enjoyed Irish whiskey and Guinness. I had a sip and that was enough. Service was awesome! read more

We came into town late and wanted something still open after 10 p.m., and this spot was perfect! It's a great Irish pub -- cozy, good vibes, and just down the street from where we were staying. It's smaller than I expected, but there are a few tables outside if you want to hang out. The whiskey, scotch, and draft beer selection was solid. We sat at the bar -- the bartender acknowledged us right away but took a little while to take our order. I got the Irish American burger -- it was okay, the bun wasn't toasted and the meat could've used a bit more flavor or char. The pub fries were awesome though -- crispy and piping hot. We also tried the Castletown (Reuben), which was really good but got a little soggy toward the end. The highlight of the night? Their Irish coffee. Hands down the best part -- smooth, rich, and perfectly made. Great spot overall for a chill late-night bite and drink downtown! read more

This place ya'll!!!! We just got back from Ireland and this experience was so authentic and chill. It's like sitting in any pub in the Irish countryside! The fish and chips were perfect- hint ask for a side of curry. The bartender was very friendly and the Irish coffee with Tullamore (of course) did not disappoint! You could sit at the bar or in little booth that were like mini snugs( if you know you, you know) Don't miss this place if you are in Dallas! read more

Needed a brewski and some food badly & this cute Irish pub hit the spot I ordered the fish and chips & my friend ordered boneless wings with bbq sauce BRO THE FISH AND CHIPS WERE FIIIIIIIRE the fish was HUGE and soooo freakin crispy and juicy. Like literally the best fish and chips I've ever had.. the batter was the perfect texture and wasn't too thick or heavy. The tartar sauce was so delicious, I kept drowning my fish into it. The Cole slaw was also sooo freakin good, not too sweet or mayoy, absolutely perfect. The boneless wings were also really good, the bbq sauce was rly tangy and delicious. The beers paired so well with our food and hit the spot! There are a good amount of tables available, we sat at the booth which was high rise and they were very comfortable. Service was immaculate, our girls were super helpful with beer selection and food recommendations. We were very happy with experience and I can't recommend this spot enough!! read more

Such an awesome Irish pub!!! It has all the charm, warmth and ambiance one would expect without the old, ragged feel some pubs have. This place is crisp and clean!

As a Brit - I really appreciate a good pint and fish n chips. this has been the best spot we have come across since living in the DFW area. It was clean, friendly people, service was good just a bit slow but we went around 6pm on a Sunday during one of the NBA final games. I wasn't a fan of the gravy and curry sauce and they don't have mushy peas, HP sauce or chip shop curry sauce. BUT overall rating - was great! Worth the 40 minute drive. read more

Chicken wings here are absolutely the best. I also love that they have a great drink selection -- I usually go for Magners cider, but they also have a really nice variety of white wines. On Wednesdays they offer whiskey specials, which is perfect if you like trying new options. Service is always great -- the staff is attentive, the vibe is fun, and it's a spot I'll definitely keep coming back to. read more

The Crafty Irishman - Bar area! - Irish Pub Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place quickly became my favorite restaurant, earning a solid 5/5 rating across the board! The service, ambiance, food, and drinks were simply outstanding. Service: The staff was excellent, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Drinks: I highly recommend the seasonal plum cocktail--it was a delightful treat! Food: The highlight of my meal was the Monte Cristo, which was unbelievably delicious. Made with smoked turkey, ham, Wexford Cheddar, and Swiss cheese on sourdough, it's beer-battered and fried, then dusted with powdered sugar and served with raspberry preserves. The presentation was stunning, and I couldn't resist sharing it with everyone at the table. They all agreed it was the best sandwich they had ever tasted! Overall, The Crafty Irishman is a must-visit for anyone in Dallas. I can't wait to go back! read more

TL;DR: Solid Irish pub vibes, red ale that'll make you emotional, food that slaps after 10pm, and service that's more "chill and kind" than "Michelin-star choreography." No influencer lighting, just good beer and better people. Review from a downtown Dallas resident: The Crafty Irishman might not be the flashiest spot downtown, but it's absolutely one of the best. It's part of a small local chain of Irish pubs--but this one? This is the chosen one. The favorite child. The one that doesn't get forgotten in the group text. If you're ever downtown and hungry past 10pm (aka Dallas restaurant dead zone hours), even the neighboring bars will point you here like it's the city's worst-kept secret. That's how you know it's legit. The food? Comforting, craveable, and quietly elite. The scotch fried eggs are a sleeper hit, the fish and chips are always on point.. if you're extra hungry get the "egg rolls" too, and the menu as a whole punches way above its pub-grade weight class. But let's talk red ale--imported from Ireland and poured on draft like a gift from the beer gods. You don't find this stuff everywhere, and honestly, I'd come here just for that. Their beer + chaser combos are the move too--simple, solid, and way better than whatever "beer cocktail" your mixology friend is pushing. (They offer cocktails but I prefer their beers here) The place itself? Small enough to feel intimate, big enough that you're not elbow-dueling for space. It's got the character of a real-deal pub, not one of those Instagram-first, vibes-later knockoffs. Now, service. Is it slow? A little. Is it because there's one server holding down 87% of the dining room? Also yes. But they're always kind, helpful, and happy to talk beer or menu faves with you--just be patient and tip well. Pub karma is real. As someone who's moving away from downtown, I can confidently say this place is in my top 5 recs for anyone visiting. Just don't expect flashy looks or flower walls. This place doesn't need filters--it's the real deal. read more

Small Irish bar and grill. Food was good, service was good but it was just way too damn loud and it takes a lot for it to be too loud for me. Enjoys the fish and chips. The cheese curds are really good but be prepared, they have a definite kick. Tried the bread pudding and it was amazing. I would return just hopefully the table next to us won't be out of control partying. read more

If you're downtown, hungry, and it's late. Heck, even if it's not late, you can't go wrong with a visit to The Crafty Irishman. Hands down, the best fish and chips I've had. Their fish flown in. And their potatoes with a real potato taste. The Guinness was a perfect 16-oz pint - deep, smooth, and velvety. You can tell they keep the lines clean. The bread pudding also excellent. Just the right consistency and not overly sweetened. And last, but certainly not least, Ben was an amazing host. Felt welcomed and cared for. We'll be back! read more

We decided to come here before a concert at the Majestic which is conveniently close by. The reviews were great and after coming here ... they were spot on! The fish was huge and flaky with a perfect flavor. The waiter suggested a side of their sauce and that took it over the top! The mac n cheese was creamy and delicious and the sausage was yummy too. The shepherd pie was good. The portion looked small but was actually very filling. The pretzels were great and you get two! The drinks were quite good but even better, the service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly, had great suggestions and was quick with our orders. We definitely recommend eating here! read more

Came in for a volleyball tournament and was thrilled to find an Irish Pub near the hotel! Most times we have found an Irish Pub they always have texmex and a lot of English food there. This place had wonderful Irish options with a side of chicken wings It's a smaller pub so huge crowds might be split and it is open seating. They have a nice outside area if you are into people watching. The love music put a smile on my husband's face and after fighting Dallas traffic he needed that! The options for beer is wide, and he had 2!! The food is great and authentic! My daughter didn't care for the Shepard pie (said mine was better ) but I don't use lamb so... My monte Cristo was superb and huge! Had to take half of it to go. I can't tell you about the bangers and mash as my husband didn't even offer me any. We are, hopefully, going to stop by again this weekend! read more

It's a very typical Irish pub. Nothing overly mind blowing nor terrible. Our waitress was efficient, but wouldn't call her overly friendly but did her job well. She answered any question you had and was attentive. The food itself was above average IMO. We had some wings, nachos and other items. All were good and better than expected. The inside itself is fairly small, maybe 8 tables plus a middle section. It definitely for smaller groups under 4 as they have 1, maybe 2, spots that can accommodated groups large than that. Overall, it's a solid choice if you are in the area. read more

Delicious authentic Irish dishes. My wife and I were in Dallas and saw the flag of Ireland so headed to the restaurant. We found The Crafty Irishman and were immediately transported to Ireland. Once I saw Shepherds Pie on the menu I knew what I was going to order. It was so good with the right amount of lamb and sauce to go along with mashed potatoes. My wife ordered her go to Fish and Chips and loved it. We had a great meal with excellent service. The restaurant felt like an Irish pub with high rise tables, bar and floor seating. read more

The flavor could have been just a little better but the lemon and tarter sauce really helped make it a great meal. I'd gladly come back. read more

We fell in love with the craft Irishman. Very lively atmosphere. Loooove the live music, great service, good food, cold drinks. We almost didn't want to leave. The Galway Bay Mussels is a MUST try. It was so good. The mussels perfectly cooked and that creamy broth......yummy! The Dublin Double is another thing to try, especially if you're hungry because it is huge. I didn't think I would ever describe a burger as pretty, but this one is too pretty to eat. They offer military discount too, by the way. We will be back! read more

This was one of the places that I went to as soon as I touched down in Downtown Dallas, at least for the dinner rush -- the vibes of this place were immaculate, and honestly, I would not have it any other way.If you have not been here before, they have indoor and outdoor seating. Me and my colleagues opted for the outdoor option, which after a while, we started to slowly regret our decision due to the extent of how much wind there was that day. However, our experience was very interactive, and that was one thing I definitely liked throughout the whole process. Our waiter was very good at listening to what options we had -- and was straightforward with any and all requests that we had. The hospitality, you could say, was absolutely hands-down a definition of "welcomeness" and more. For my dinner, I ordered an "Oh my Cod" burger -- which was probably the best cod burger, alongside with cut potato fries. It wasn't too soggy, and it certainly was not too hard to the extent that I wasn't able to eat. read more

It was pretty late and this place was highly rated. It's pretty cool and welcoming inside and our hostess was chill and friendly. I definitely liked the vibe of the place. Unfortunately, the food was pretty mid. It tastes okay, but nothing crazy and is pretty heavily weighted towards carbs over protein. The wings, cod, and bangers were pretty solid. Not so crazy about the mac and cheese or the egg rolls. The bread pudding was good too, but that's too indulgent to eat more than two bites. read more

Looking for food at midnight was a challenge. So glad this place had their kitchen still open. This is a tiny Irish pub with excellent food and a huge beer selection. I got the pretzels...the beer cheese dip was delicious. A said the mustard was pretty good. He got the castle something sandwich. His only complaint is the bread got soggy on the bottom, likely that their sauerkraut isn't drained. But, he polished it off anyway. Really nice place. read more

I visited this spot tonight and had Jerry as our waiter. He was super friendly and kept checking in on us while offering great recommendations. We tried a bunch of dishes; the wings were fantastic, but the burger lacked flavor. The curry and clams were decent, and the cheese balls were amazing with a nice spicy kick. The place had a great vibe and was packed, and now I'm kind of regretting not ordering the fish that was suggested, so I guess I'll have to return to give that a shot. read more

10/10 for service. Our waiter was fantastic. It has a local Irish bar feel. It was much smaller than we thought it would be which is as no big deal. It was a nice walk from the Sheraton hotel which was good. We had the scotch eggs and fish and chips. Both were really good but not out of this world. My picture only has 2 scotch eggs but we actually got 4. The half portion of fish and chips is one huge piece of cod. Overall, I would recommend. read more

Follow-Up Review I feel it's important to update my review because of the way this situation was ultimately handled. The envelope I left behind was recovered -- something I honestly didn't think would happen. My friend followed up directly with the owner, and the owner personally took the time to review the outside cameras and do everything possible to help. That kind of effort goes far beyond what most people would expect, and I'm so thankful for it. I can't say enough how much I appreciate my friend for stepping in, the owner for showing real integrity and care, and the staff for their support along the way. What started as a very stressful and disappointing experience turned into a reminder of how much good there is in people when they're willing to go the extra mile. I've been coming here for several months with coworkers and friends, but now my loyalty runs even deeper. The food and atmosphere have always been wonderful, but what truly sets this place apart is the people behind it. I'll continue to come back not just because it's a great restaurant, but because I know the owner and team genuinely care about their guests. read more

I'm so thankful this place was open past 11pm. Looking to decompress after work, I posted up at the bar and ordered a Bells Two Hearted IPA. This is notoriously a whiskey bar, but I wasn't in the mood. Got the Corned Beef & Cabbage Special that wasn't advertised on the menu, but this was kinda disappointing. The cabbage was honestly the best part. Had fun chatting with other travelers at the bar. Bartenders mostly kept to themselves. Chill pub overall to visit late night for food and drink. read more
