From start to finish, Izzy, Samara, and their entire team delivered an experience that truly exceeded every expectation. Their professionalism and communication were outstanding throughout the entire planning process. They were proactive, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful--true problem solvers who made us feel completely supported and confident every step of the way. It was clear from the beginning that they genuinely cared about making this a meaningful and memorable evening for our family and the special couple. The private room was absolutely perfect--intimate, beautifully arranged, and very easy to personalize with our own decorations. It created exactly the warm and special atmosphere we had hoped for. The menu was another highlight: a wonderful variety of options with a refined, elevated feel, all at a very reasonable price point. Every guest found something they loved, and the quality of the food was consistently impressive. Most importantly, we do not have a single complaint--only an abundance of praise. Our guests are still talking about how fantastic the evening was. We are so grateful to Izzy, Samara, and the entire Bog & Barley team for helping us create such a joyful and unforgettable celebration.

Irish Irish Irish (Fancy Restaurant)…read more This was the first experience making reservations for an Irish pub, but it was way more than a pub. Think date night. The food was a delight! Recommend the pimento cheese bread sticks for appetizer or any other time. Also, this was the first time I've had a Kilkenny draft which was another highlight. I see now it's rare to find. Smooth and creamy. If I lived nearby, I would be here more often. It's a little on the expensive side, but well worth the price and experience. Just pointing it out to expect to pay, but also pointing out it was worth every cent.

About the Yelp reviews... Whoever, in times past, found fault in the food, service or anything else, must have arrived already a sourpuss. Our experience: Supernice, superfriendly, superefficient, superprofessional service. We felt welcomed and appreciated. Really good food. Fish & Chips: crispy, succulent, non-greasy. Bangers & Mash: Mild, tender sausages zinged with some ale-tangy onions. Shepherd's Pie*: simply delish. All the food arrived hot. But even IF the food had been 3-star instead of 5-star, we'd still have had a grand time because of the people. #Way2Go *I'm asking, not arguing, here, but shouldn't Shepherd's Pie, by definition, be made of lamb? Anyhoo, no quarrels tonight.

The decor was full of wood and Irish memorabilia with a dark, cozy vibe, and the service was spectacular. The bartender was so sweet and attentive I had the fish and chips O M G! The fish literally fell apart and the breading was slightly sweet with a hint of lemon. The fresh-cut fries with sea salt were the perfect touch. I wish I could go back, but if you're ever in downtown Memphis, definitely treat yourself!

I believe they are committing FISH FRAUD…read more The fish they sell as 'Catfish' SURE DOES NOT TASTE LIKE CATFISH. It tastes like some tasteless mushy super cheap foreign import they fry up to pass off as catfish. Catfish has a firmer texture then the fish I had. Catfish also has a pronounced flavor. This fish was mushy, held a lot of water and had no flavor. The seasoning gave the crust flavor. But the actual fish TASTED NOTHING LIKE CATFISH. I feel ripped off. In my opinion this was an $7 to $8 dollar meal masquerading as a $14 dollar meal because of fish fraud.

But still good Cabbage had a nice bite and was still slightly crisp, needed to cook down a bit longer to lose some of the sour taste. But still good. Mash was fine a bit starchy and heavy but well seasoned. A few tablespoons of butter or cream would have made them perfect. A nice yeast roll on the side. Service is decent not super fast but nice Only downside is the smoking inside. I don't like that otherwise very good

Unfortunately, bar Kooky Canuck (as of 4/22/26) does not have the Cardinals mlb add on subscription for MLB.tv. In every other way, my experience was awesome!

The food is extremely tasty (and high quality) and the staff are so friendly and helpful. The owner, Shawn, is nothing short of a gem. He's friendly, has intelligence, wit, and integrity. I really messed up by not taking pictures on this one. I've had the burgers (phenomenal, regular and smash burger style) before. This time I tried the brunch menu and had, to name a few: *Poutine *French Canadian Toast *Maple Sunrise Sandwhich *Boozy Fried Bread Pudding *Eggs Benedict All of these were delicious. Small detail, but the crispy breakfast potatoes are perfect- soft on the inside and with this immaculate crisp on the outside. Next time I will certainly be getting the Waffle Monte Cristo. I love waffles.. I love Monte Cristo sandwiches.. seems like an ideal combo. A few friends and I have been in a few times now and this past trip he took us around the city. Again, I cannot say enough incredible things about he and his restaurant. Kooky even has food challenges: a 7 lb burger, a two-person 15 lb burger, and a four-person massive 25 lb burger! I've done the 25 lber and they were able to cook that burger so perfectly! Most places would undoubtedly have had the middle undercooked. Side note: Shawn has also won the "Tennessee Restaurateur of the Year" award. Yeah, he's legit. Go here. Do it. Do not deprive yourself from greatness.
