Arrived for lunch today. Had to wait a minute to be seated, but got a great seat inside right by the big screen showing a popular football match. The place looks like a pub, inside and out, with a huge patio in the rear. All the workers we encountered were really polite and personable. It was very clean inside, even the bathrooms. We pretty much knew what we wanted but enjoyed looking at the menu anyway. Started off with a 20 oz Black & Tan and a 16 oz Harps. So good. My husband had the Fish and Chips. Perfect fry, thick and flaky fish, served with a side of malt vinegar and tartar sauce. The slaw was crisp and savory and the fries crisp. He loved every bite. I had the Bangers and Mash. The sausage was tender with a delicious onion gravy. Some veggies were included (green beans, cauliflower and carrot). The mash itself was creamy and chunky, just the way I love it. Complete comfort food. We ended the meal by splitting a dish of Sticky Toffee Pudding. It was sweet and savoury, with a hint of salt to balance, topped with vanilla ice cream and more toffee sauce. (I haven't had a Sticky Toffee Pudding since I was a child and this was such a delicious treat to share.) The whole experience was exceptional and we cannot wait to go back. read more

Excellent, friendly service and good food! We called ahead on our way from a hockey game downtown and were told the wait was around 30 minutes. They, very kindly, offered to put us on the list while we were in-route! We arrived and were seated within minutes. Very cool of them to do that! Our waiter was very patient, friendly and explained the specials and menu items in detail. He made the dining a positive experience for sure! Potato bites were good. Whatever the shmear underneath was it could use some more of that! Bangers and mash were meh. Bland mash, overcooked bangers and not enough gravy. I was provided some extra gravy though. Fish and Chips were a big hit! Perfect cook and the batter was light, crisp and stuck to the fish well! Tartar was great. Slaw was on the boring side but unnecessary in the end. Everyone was friendly, a band was playing, the lights were dim, drinks were cold and the fish is good. If you live in the area I highly recommend checking it out! read more

Oh Yes!! The drinks are good but the Shepherds pie was Super and I couldn't finish it and had to take it home. I very much enjoyed this place and the ambiance is jumping. try it out read more

Always great service and atmosphere!We love the live music!. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Didn't give 5 stars due to frustration that this is the third time I've ordered the steak salad and not been able to cut through the steak. For a $20 salad, the steak should be tender, especially when I order it medium rare. Does not change our opinion of one of our favorite places, but just maybe it will help them correct this part of their menu. I don't like to be that person that sends things back. I'll probably just order something else next time. The salad itself is great, full of lots of good, fresh veggies, if they can improve the steak quality, then it's a win for everybody. read more

Always enjoy our time here. Food is great and the staff is incredibly friendly every single time.

I see this place gets great reviews--I can't give that - perhaps it was just an off night? The staff were friendly, and the live music was fantastic. But unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the rest of the experience. I ordered the Shepherd's Pie. For $17, I was expecting something I'd want to come back for, but it was just mediocre. I also ordered the $11 pretzel, which came out wet and rubbery--clearly microwaved. I took one bite and sent it back. For an upscale Irish pub, I expected a lot more. However, I'm willing to give it another chance as the restaurant itself is a cool little spot. read more

Hands down AMAZING ! We miss Chris and Christina but still wonderful. Love the pub like feel and outside bar. Food is very good as always. read more

Fun atmosphere, friendly staff. Fish and chips and grilled fish sandwich were great! Will be back for sure, a great casual date spot.

We LOVE this spot. Our favorite local pub with fantastic food & drinks. My boyfriend loves their Guinness, as I believe they have the "surge" machine here. Favorite dishes are the Pub Curry, Shepherds Pie, and Chicken Bites! read more

I had such a good time at this restaurant and pub. It's a really cool relaxing environment. I was able to sit at the bar outside the bartender was Savanna who was super nice and friendly. There are also a lot of tables outside so if you don't want to sit at the bar. You can definitely get a table. While it is dog friendly, it's not overwhelming. Simple Irish pub food that tastes very fresh. We had the fish and chips, green salad and smash burger with French fries. The menu is typically Irish food and you'll be satisfied with every bite. Bathrooms can be updated a bit but they are clean. read more

Hidden in a shopping center in Catawba Ave is an Irish pub gem. As you walk to the door you encounter their patio and outdoor bar with tvs - a welcome site on a comfortable evening. Walk inside and you'll enjoy a seat at the bar, a table, or one of several booths. The highlight of the dinner was the Guinness Brisket Mac and Cheese. The beer and cheese mixed well and created a delicious sauce for the meal. My son said the grilled cheese was awesome. I grabbed a few of his fries which soaked up the right amount of oil while maintaining a good level of crispiness. The food was good and the service was attentive. I often associate Irish food with colder evenings and look forward to returning as the cooler weather approaches. read more

Been my fav place in the Lkn area for going on 4 years! Have been here with family, partners, & loads of friends and everyone always enjoys and wants to return. Drinks are always good & the atmosphere is great. As for food I highly suggest the potato puffs as an app, roast beef hash or chicken & pancakes for brunch, and sandwiches or the British pot roast as mains. read more

Brought my family out for a pleasant night out. Sat for 20 minutes waiting to be served while the wait staff ignored our table. I'm sure it was simple miscommunication but it was clear that people saw our table and said "not my problem." Bad team. A shame, as it will cost them a lot of money in the long run. read more

This place produces some great comfort food. I love hearty foods with sauces and gravies to add to the comfort level. Both of our selections tonight left us feeling very satisfied. To start the night off I ordered a Scooby Snack from the full bar. It was great and made correctly. It came out promptly. Our server made food recommendations that were spot on. I ordered the Irish meatloaf. It was a fantastic choice. The meatloaf was paired with sautéed vegetables and served on mashed potatoes. The meatloaf is made of pork and beef and is perfectly cooked. It is topped with a braised Sherry cabbage cream sauce. The sauce is amazing. We also ordered a shepherd's pie. It was a huge portion of goodness. Both entrees were excellent. The place is clean. They have a 95.5 sanitation grade. The restrooms were tidy. The dining room was very clean. I love this place. read more

Atmosphere 5 stars. Service 5 stars. Food/Value 2 stars. Really cute place but for the money it's really not worth it. The corned beef and cabbage entree didn't even contain enough meat for half of a sandwich. ( unsure of a better way to describe) My plate was full... of cabbage. Not worth $18 by any means. read more

I took my dad and brother here on Friday night, and we had an absolutely fantastic time! The live music created such an energetic atmosphere that we couldn't resist getting up to dance. The food was incredible--I had the spinach artichoke dip and guiness brisket mac and cheese-- both were a perfect 10/10. Our waitress, Emily, was outstanding--despite the restaurant being packed, she was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Can't wait to come back! read more

Not happy with this place!!! March 19th went to have lunch for the first time at this restaurant. We get to Harp and Crown Pub and a crowd of people are standing outside with the owner saying they are closed!!!! Online says they are open!! Not happy with this place and I will never go back! read more

We ordered to-go but sat at the bar for a drink while our food was being prepared. I loved their outdoor patio seating! We ordered fish and chips (a pub go-to food for both of us) and some pretzel sticks. At the bar, John enjoyed a beer and I had an old fashioned. Our food was ready super fast! I gulped down my drink so we could get back to the adjacent brewery and family. The fish was fantastic! Exactly what I expected from a local pub. John loved the fries. The pretzel was slightly over heated- but I am a pretzel snob. The beer cheese that came with the pretzels was great! Next time we visit Charlotte- I hope to return and enjoy dining in! read more

A friend selected this restaurant for lunch before heading out to do wine tasting. I must admit I was intrigued by the name, but then a little less enthused when looking at photos. I guess I expected more of an upscale interior. However, the reviews were awesome so I was onboard. We were seated outside on a sunny afternoon and thankfully our table was covered by an umbrella. I ordered a Sparkletini cocktail and was disappointed that I couldn't see glitter in my glass, unlike the one my friend received. Taste was good though. Most of the brunch items going past me looked amazing, so don't ask why I chose the bangers and mash instead. Curiosity I guess, because I've wanted to try it previously but never did. It was just ok. And I don't know that is due to any fault of the restaurant, it was more the combination of food. Overall I wasn't impressed, but I should have ordered the pancakes like I started to. I plan to give H&C another try one day. read more

Atmosphere has lost its Britishness. Food is average and not special. It is handy place for dinner when you can't think of anywhere you really want to go. The outside bar is fine if you can take the thousand degree heat. If you want to impress anyone with an impressive dining experience, this is "not" the place. However, if you want to sit around and talk loudly, drink, and eat average food, this should fit the requirement. Better than the new place that opened. read more

The atmosphere of the restaurant was very nice. We love sitting outside when the weather is nice and the music is great, but we ended up sitting at one of the bar tables since the restaurant was busy, and Tyler was a great bartender! We ordered the Beef Wellington and Irish spring rolls for appetizers and then a burger that tasted fabulous. Overall, everything was great! read more

Fish and chips are great but wish there was more fish. Seems like the portions reduced but price went up

Nice neighborhood spot with very traditional pub food - nice wine list and beer. Their patio is great with ample seating- lots of greenery and plants - a bustling bar with TVS for view anywhere you sit. We have always loved outdoor dining and right now it's the only way we dine "in" at a restaurant with Covid even though we are vaccinated. We just feel better outside. I had the meatloaf and it was good not the absolute best but good - the mashed tators were good as were the veggies. I didn't care for the cabbage or Sauerkraut not sure which it was trying to be but neither worked for me. Hubby had Cobb Salad with Salmon and liked it. The real star was the spinach artichoke dip - the creamiest I've ever had with a definite onion/garlic note but not overpowering- Yummage right there!! read more

Walked in on a Friday night thinking we had a reservation (we did not-it was for another Harp and Crown in another state!) The hostess was so good about it and managed to squeeze us in anyway. There was live entertainment which was an extra treat. We split the Jameson bbq wings, Reuben spring rolls and Irish potato puffs, along with a few Jameson shots (it's an Irish pub what can I say?!?). Atmosphere is definitely pub like but fun and noise (even with the live music) was not overbearing! Enjoyed our time and will be a repeat if back in the are! read more

A friend from out of town was passing through and asked if I wanted to meet up for lunch on Sunday. I agreed and decided to hit this joint because I had never been there. Well, that's not 100% true. I had been to this location years earlier under a different name. I remember a party atmosphere and a lot of people. Harp and Crown is nothing like that, which might relate to a smaller bar. At 1 p.m. on an NFL Sunday, there were fewer than two dozen people. This is usually a bad sign, but the food, comfort level, and service were all excellent. We sat at a high top and our server stopped by many times to make sure everything was okay. Timing of food and drink delivery were on the money. When my friend asked for a check, the waiter thought he said, "A chick." My friend followed that up with a comment that will remain a mystery to readers. I know this review relates to Harp and Crown, but I'm going to add that this was good/fun/chill company. This dude doesn't take himself too seriously and has some amazing stories. So amazing, in fact, that I might write a book about his experiences. Part of that is because he has applied one of my poker strategies from The Perfect Range (SPATS). He has made so much money from that book that he just bought a condo in Vegas (for poker purposes). He told me I changed his life. That felt pretty good. A little off-topic there, but it's good for readers to get to know the real you. As far as my burger goes, they nailed it. My friend also raved his meal, but I don't remember what it was and I didn't take a picture. I just remember seeing a bowl with yellow stuff in it. Highly recommended! I have no idea how it was so empty. Maybe because the Panthers weren't playing this week? Bar too small? Not sure. read more

An awesome authentic Irish/English pub experience. Best place for St Patty's Day, love going early!

One of the best patios in the area with it's own bar. Had so much on the menu and have loved everything. Favorites: bangers & mash, salmon, burgers, fish & chips. Excellent brunch on Saturdays & Sundays. Several TVs to watch a soccer match or some football. Good beer selection. Live music sometimes, so check their media. Excellent choice. Enjoy! read more

A nice little pub with real English pub food. Good service and the best fish n chips I've had in North Carolina. Other menu items include bangers and mash, English breakfast and Guinness Beef Stew. I'm sure you get the idea! Reasonable prices and a nice beer selection. Only disappointment was that the Sheppard Pie contains ground beef instead of lamb and oh the obsequious televisions (too many, too large and too loud!). read more
