Ray, the owner of The Irishman, went above and beyond for our family during a very difficult time. We recently gathered to honor the life of a dear family friend who had been a longtime regular at The Irishman, and Ray graciously opened the bar early so we could host a private gathering in his memory. Ray and Denise couldn't have been more hospitable, accommodating, and genuinely kind to every single person in our group. They bartended for us all afternoon and went absolutely above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, even helping arrange pizza from across the street. What could have been a difficult and emotional day was made so much more special by the warmth and generosity they showed our family and friends. The Irishman is a 10/10 bar--from the atmosphere and drinks to, most importantly, the people behind the bar. Ray and Denise are two of the most welcoming and kind people you could ever hope to meet. We're incredibly grateful for everything they did for us and for giving us such a special place to come together and remember someone we loved. Thank you, Ray and Denise! read more

Local Rams Bar. Came here to watch the Rams Wild Card Game, and it was such a fun time. They give raffle tickets on game days, and I won a half zip sweater. They also give half time shots. Also have a bunch of board games, which was fun. Owner was super friendly and welcoming. Minus one star is just due to lack of seating and food options, but we were able to DoorDash, which was great! read more

The Irishman - Splittin the motha efn G - Irish Pub Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

They have consistently made VERY good espresso martini's. Easily the best in Huntington Beach and in terms of ambiance. I love it. They have ash trays and chess!! BEWARE.: of Bartender Vanessa. Bluntly rude. Throws the check immediately after ordering, essentially pushing you out. Considering the bar was a little slow her rude manner was completely uncalled for. After ringing us up she stated we had a time limit to finish the drink and leave....but said nothing to the other tables around us. Pretty solid drinks....terrible Vanessa read more

I hate leaving negative reviews but good customer service starts at the top, and unfortunately the tone ownership gives seems to trickle down. If ownership doesnt value guests, it's hard for the rest of the staff to compensate for that. There are plenty of places to enjoy a nice creamy pint with a respectful-welcoming attitude-- this place just wasn't one of them. read more

The Irishman consistently serves the best pint of Guiness! Monique is an awesome and kind bartender who poured this pint for me! Shout out to Ray! He takes quality and service seriously and it shows! Cheers mate! read more

OMG I loved this place! Sarah was my bartender and she served us a Guinness and an Irish coffee and both drinks were done well! I would definitely come back here, I love the bartender making us feel like friends! Lot of appreciation towards this place and Sarah!! Thank you Irishman!! read more

As an Irishman living in SoCal, I've struggled to find a proper pint of Guinness... until now. Ray, thank you -- your Guinness tastes exactly like it does back home. Creamy, fresh, poured to perfection. You've nailed it. This place will be my regular from now on. Sláinte! read more

Hands down the best bar in town. My friend and I only go to the irishman when we are back in our hometown. Friendly staff, great drinks, and good vibes. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Keep up the good work! read more

Best pub in town! The bartenders pour a perfect Guinness and they make the best espresso martinis on Main Street. Ambiance is always fun and filled with locals. read more

I love coming to the Irishman and Alana took amazing care of me and my friend, she is absolutely the best! She knows how to talk to people and NO Disrespect! Iv spent my life in bars and I'll be coming back to see Alana! read more

Came to meet friends. Bartender acknowledged every table but ours, and I ultimately left before even getting a drink. Mind you we sat there and caught up with our friends for at least 20 minutes while they finished their beer that they'd gotten before we arrived read more

The Guinness was unfathomably authentic. I once lived on O'hanlon's corner - a half mile from St.James's Gate. This is a tiny bar, but massively authentic. Pick your time and you'll have a great set of drinks. read more

Walking down the busy area of Huntington Beach we are glad we stumbled upon this Irish pub. It's nice that it's down the street from the shops because it was a nice quiet spot to stop for a drink. The music was great, service was great and the old fashions were great! read more

I would consider myself an occasional visitor to The Irishman but recently I've come across Dre who is one of the bartenders there. What a joy to speak to. She's always smiling and makes everyone feel welcome. She's definitely in charge of the bar in a good way. I can tell she has a lot of experience and more impressively she still seems to love what she does. The Irishman has a good vibe and the patrons are all sociable and ready to say hello to you. I definitely recommend this bar. read more

Service was perfect. Clientele was friendly. They also sell meat pies & a veggie pie that customers recommend. Parking is $2 for 2 hours at a time. Bathrooms are clean. read more

The Irishman - Expresso martini very tasty - Irish Pub Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Beer selection is good and the people working are very nice. Good place to hang out and meet new people. They have a patio that is on the sidewalk and has a few tables. Would be nice in the summertime. It's just off of main st so it's close to the restaurants nearby. I usually go in the daytime so haven't been there for their karaoke and other get activities. Lo read more

Cozy little spot. My friend loves an Irish bar, so we go here frequently. What can I say, the drinks are good, the bartenders are friendly. It's a good time. BOOM. read more

Great hang out spot here. From the bartenders to the crowd it is always a great time at The Irishman. Saturday night karaoke and Sunday football hands down the place to be. read more

The Irishman - Halloween party with the ladies who did not choose to dress up with this pink lady. Good times! - Irish Pub Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

Horrible customer service. Treated my friends like crap because they sat in seat that wasn't officially reserved. Be better next time, for the sake of your patrons. Playing favorites is an awful hill to die on. read more

Always a returning customer here every St. Patrick's Day to celebrate with my friends. The drinks are great, but the service is even better! I can't believe how attentive the hosts and bartenders were on a Friday night, even as the place was filling up with patrons. I ordered about 6-7 drinks and all came out within the minute that I ordered. Also felt very safe, considering there were rowdy people that the bouncers turned away at the door. Just goes to show The Irishman cares about the customers, and not just easy money. Will continue my yearly tradition here and thank you for always showing my group & I a great time! read more

First time here and I loveee it!! Great little gem! Ambiance is dark and it was inviting. I can't wait to come back!

Getting there: If you head towards BJs, it is a block down. Since it is downtown parking can be hard to find. Experience: Came here with some friends after dinner for a drink. It's a very small pub so I can imagine it gets crowded during the weekends. The bartender was awesome! I didn't really know what I wanted to drink but I asked her to make some something with vodka, but nothing sweet. She came up with something on the fly (super simple: vodka, soda, agave and lemons). I think its my new favorite drink. read more

Great small bar everyone is very friendly. Beer is fresh like it was just made today. We'll go back many times. Have been there many times already. read more

Was only able to stop in for a quick shot of Jameson. But the place was what you'd expect of an Irish pub. It was kinda dark. The pour was strong. Seemed like mostly locals. read more

The Irishman is my favorite bar in Huntington Beach. It has more of a low-key, locals vibe in comparison to all the bars on Main Street. The bartenders always give awesome service and drinks. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a Guinness or Irish coffee! Go for karaoke on the Saturday night. It's a great time! read more

Irishman has a newer bartender Lindy she's fabulous, very friendly, attentive and always has a smile on her face ! She is a great attribute to the HB culture! I would defiantly recommend the Irishman to not only locals but tourists as well! read more

Been here quite a bit in my earlier 20s but I love this bar. Sarah behind the bar is a pleasure and always on it.. she can take care of the whole place alone. I came here for their first trivia night the other night and it was a good time. Good vibes. Free popcorn and good cold beer. Also there was a large cash prize and $10 entry fee. Next week I think it's the office themed. Cool. read more

Excellent experience and a wonderful staff. Had a business meeting and it could not have gone better Cheers read more

I had a great time at this place. I got the best seat in the house when I came. I went straight to the booth and I'm glad I did because I was super close to the bar and restroom. They have great customer service here and are real quick to give you your order. The drinks were great and the meat pie was really good. I will definitely be back. read more

Ordered a short Kettle One cranberry, then a shot with a splash of cranberry which I watched her pour. All I can say is that they are completely watering down their Vodka. I am 5'1 and 115 lbs, I hadn't eaten all day and I left feeling like I drank water. Just sayin $27 of water to calm down after a funeral. No Bueno, this Local Irishwoman wont be back. read more

Best customer service ever. Will be coming back again. 10/10 service and bartenders. Quick and nice employees

Nothing fantastic about the bar except the people working and enjoying themselves there. Fun little place with a great location (kind of small inside). Bartender a great lady and clientele lead me to new Irish whiskeys to try. Now I'm hooked on Power's whiskey but certainly that's not a bad habit. To quote George Gobel "When I drink, I know my limit, I just pass out before I get there." This can happen here as it is so enjoyable. Cheers! read more

And if you want a true slice of Ireland, you owe it to yourself to come here! Great beer, great food and great staff! Atmosphere is amazing as well! Ray, the owner, is authentic and friendly. Nothing better! Seriously.... read more

Dre is amazing!!!!! She really knows what she's doing behind the bar and made everything a great experience !

Wow, $9 per Guinness. Not coming back anytime soon. Other local pubs have Guinness much less?? Why come back? No food worth eating either. Btw, I have a photo of my receipt for 2 Guinness beers at $18. read more
