Irish pubs can be fun especially if you like drinking Guinness and eating large fries with fish or other odd items. This pub on Broadway near Jack London Square is pretty authentic considering we are not in Ireland.
It was good but average. I liked the place and would go there again. They have a limited menu so fine for a snack or light dinner.
It was St Paddys Day, so place was packed. Not going to rate the menu as it was mass food for the day. Had a Blackthorn Cider that was pretty good. Even with the place being slammed, the staff was still courteous and cheerful.
Authentic Irish food, that was our first time eating there and it was quite good in the picture was the shepherds pie, sausage roll, garlic chips and the soup of the day potato and leechi I think 🤔
Visit Ireland without the cost of a plane ticket or the jet lag. Beautifully designed, Slainte recreates the look, sound and feel of an Irish pub right in Oakland on Broadway off of Jack London Square. As is the case with Irish pubs families are welcome. There is a seating area for meals and conversation separate from the bar area.
My husband and I had the best time at this local Oakland pub. Excellent Irish food, good drinks, great service. Joey was our server both times we visited this last weekend and by the time we left we hugged goodbye. I wish every server was a great as Joey.
Great and friendly staff and nice prices which are way lower than in SF. Outside seating available though not very big. Menu is purely pub type and atmosphere is really accommodating and friendly. Guinness on tap is also authentic. Selection of whiskey is outstanding. Recommend.
Slainte in Oakland is a new Irish bar and whiskey spot with wooden stools, cozy couches and a fireplace with a quirky mix of furniture and people. The space is small, but big enough for grabbing a beer or an Irish coffee. The staff are friendly and really take their time with customers, so be prepared to wait a bit. The prices are higher for an Oakland spot.
Food and drinks were very good...loved the different varieties of Irish whiskey ..fire place was a add bonus
Nice people/place but ran out of food that we ordered...waitress very apologetic but beer was great..fish chips was good
We went for Thanksgiving dinner and the turkey was moist, and all the sides were lovely. The view is spectacular.
I love this bar, but I might be a little bit biased! They have a small selection of beers on tap, a few interesting beers in bottles, and a huge selection of whiskeys and other spirits. They usually have a featured whiskey every Tuesday night, often serving flights of different varieties and ages from the featured distillery. Also, I love that they carry the Irish Herald newsletter. I pick up a copy for my mother every month. Sláinte!
Great cider and their Shepherds pie was incredibly delicious 😋 I totally recommend it
Shepards pie was delicious but service was kind of slow even though the pub wasnt too busy yet for a Sunday afternoon. But I would definitely go back & try out the other menu items.
Awesome Authentic Irish bar with incredible drinks, great beer, good music and fun bar staff, most definitely a good place to stop if youre looking for a bar with a cool atmosphere!
Its really 5 stars with fun employees and good Irish style food. Id give it five but they have to be more consistent in their food prep. Otherwise a fun place to relax with Guinness on tap.
As close to Ireland as you can get without jumping on a plane! The owner Jackie is full of wonderful stories, the food is amazing, and the atmosphere brings a tear to this American Irish heart.
The lamb shepherd pie was amazing, and for Oakland pretty affordable
Slainte is the closest to a pub you would find in Ireland. The atmosphere is wonderful. Staff and service was great. The highlights for me are the curry chips and the Irish coffees.
Sláinte is one of those rare moments of life you didnt know you needed. Centered on one of the best corners in Jack London, and with its bright orange paint job, you cant help but notice it. Once inside it feels like youre home. With cozy booths & tables, stools and chairs, and a fairly long bar top, youre sure to find seating that fits your needs. There is also a fireplace that can be turned on (or off due to good ol summer heat) with 2 of what I consider to be grandpa chairs. You know the kind of chair you picture your grandpa sitting in, telling his tales of memories past while you listen intently hanging on every word. The servers and bartenders try and greet everyone as they walk through the door and give each guest the best service they can. Tara is probably my favorite server and if course Joe is the best bar keep in town!! The fare here is quite unique to the area, as you dont find many Irish Pubs this side of the Bay Bridge. Jackie, the owner, has brought to Oakland her Irish familys traditional recipes and head chef Ted is there to make sure each and every dish is the way Jackies family prepared it back home. Dont let the titles fool you though, Jackie is a master chef herself! From the Fish & Chips to the Brussel Sprouts to the Bacon Butty Sandwich, there is something on the menu sure to please every palate. If I start talking about the full array of Irish Whiskys this review would never end!!! Not to mention the Guinness ON TAP!! Full Disclosure though, I used to work here. But even when I wasnt working here I found myself drawn to it. Now I live in a whole other state, but I still have cravings for the Fish & Chips with the house made tartar sauce & (classy) spray bottle malt vinegar. If you happen to get over there for a Happy Hour Pint (of your choice) + powers[$10], tell em JJ sent ya! Sláinte!!!
Great atmosphere and very good food. Friendly service.Their Irish coffee is G O O D, really good!Let me know if you think I got it right!
What I love about this place is that it doesnt feel like a generic bar at all, but more like you walked in into someones living room. Sometimes they have live Irish music sessions here which only adds to the charm.
Is so nice to be in a foregin country and feel at home. Jackie is lovely, warm and welcoming you cant miss a pint of Guinnes if you pass by. Ive eaten the best fish and chips ever. I hope to come back soon!!
Guess Im just spoiled by my go to Irish pub is SF.. ..Food was mediocre at best for the price and for being an Irish pub and being out of Magners...wow...
Arrived here late at night already steeped in whiskey. The staff and patrons were quite nice and suggested some variety of whiskeys. After I imbibed a sample or two they also graciously ignored my attempts to sing sea shanties.
Update: Slainte is *back*! This spot is a delightful Irish pub and restaurant. If you’re looking for a great place to get an Irish whiskey or enter back into Ireland, go here. Great food and wonderful atmosphere. You can eat/enjoy a pint inside or on the patio.
The food was good but the wait was way too long for how few people were there. My burger was not made correctly either so that was a bit disappointing as well. Brussels sprouts and sausage were good.
Good food. Quick service. Good cocktails! Only thing is that when it starts getting cold, there is no outside heating. Other than that, if they have allowed capacity available inside, they will move you in. Good spot.
REAL Irish pub. Full Irish breakfast on the weekends is really a treat.
Chill and cozy vibe with some beers and a lot of hard alcohol. Great food too.
Great food, large range of drinks and lovely staff. All and all its great
Great food, and drink. The fish and chips here are some of the best. Due to COVID-19 regulations I didnt get a full pub experience, but thats okay. This place was great. Also recommend getting some soda bread with butter.Sláinte10/10
Top o the morning to ya! This place was great, I had a lot Guinness here and I dont remember much...uh I think they had a giant picture of Oscar Wilde. He wrote that book called Ulysses or something, he might also be related to Bono. Great service, and beer and beer related items. My family says I should go to AA but whens the last time I listened to them lol! Fantastic pub.
Great place.Owner was there helping behind the bar. I had the fish and chips.
Fun bar, spirited cocktails, friendly & knowledgeable bartender, Emerson
This bustling, always busy Irish pub is clearly a local favorite. Small selection of pub fare is good and the drinks are old school solid and enjoyable. Cozy atmosphere in two rooms with a fireplace, small tables and cushioned bench seating along windows, this is a convivial place but not so loud that you cant also enjoy a private conversation. Been here a few times and will go back.
Cozy, good food, and great drinks. Plenty of seating area and even a couples couch by a fire. Everything is reasonably priced and tastes homemade.
Delicious food, and very tasty spiced cider with whiskey. Perhaps a wider range of beer would be nice
2021 Update, now 5 stars! Why? Theyre consistent, reliable, and I went on St. Patricks Day and the service was amazing for all they were dealing with -- during a pandemic!2018: Great homey place. The food is good, the Irish coffee is great. I hope this place will be around for a while. Its a good place to pop in for a pint, or a meal, or to gather with friends. Why not 5 stars? My server could have been a little more attentive, but its a minor point and I hope to bump it up with more visits.
Great old pub vibes. Cozy with eclectic seating and Irish memorabilia. They have a great selection of Irish whiskeys. We had the fish and chips, which was delicious. They even have deals each might of the week where you can get a pint and an entry for a very discounted price. Definitely worth a stop if you like Irish pub fair or whiskey.
Wasnt busy when I came in. A relaxing place to have a drink.
The best Shepard Pie! And amazing drinks!
Great traditional pub. Had a wonderful night with friends. Next time Im in the area I will be back.
It was fantastic food was great eager to please. Best fish and chips I have ever had. Drinks great cant wait to return
In my opinion its the best pub in the district, and quite a way beyond. The owners have done a great job creating a pub-like atmosphere. When theres a fire going, the céilí band is playing, you have a fine drink in your hand and hopefully some good pub grub in your belly or on your plate, well, its grand.Ive eaten at Sláinte twice now and both times the food has been very good. My only comments would be I would have liked to have more of the all day breakfast - although it was actually more than you think from the small oval plate it is served on. Also I wasnt over the moon about the fish batter in their fish and chips. I prefer a lighter crisper batter and theirs is more solid like a thin pie crust. I dont know if it is intentional and a traditional Irish variation on the British fish and chips Im most familiar with.Today I had the gingerbread with whiskey cream - delicious and just how my mother made it. Id think about getting a shot of something on the side to pour on it just for a bit of extra kick ;-)The sausage roll wasnt quite what I was expecting - but the pastry was authentic and the pork filling although not sausage-like to me was very tasty. Again, its probably just a case of being different from what I expect, not in any way bad. That and a tomato soup of the day was filling enough that I barely had room for the gingerbread pudding...Im very happy Sláinte is in the neighborhood and I hope they have a long an successful stay here - finally a pub I can call my own.
Great food, service music. A friendly place.
Best Irish iced coffee! Also the tastiest Mac n cheese with added smoked salmon for $16. And Im a Mac n cheese queen! The mixed drinks are reasonably priced at like $9-11. My fave is Gin Ricky (and iced Irish coffee as stated earlier and can not be stated enough)!! The owner is a rad powerful woman. Shes even set up a cute post office box inside that you can drop custom postcards from the owners childhood growing up in Ireland. She puts stamps on em and sends them out for you. Its a really cute touch on a charming go to spot. Theres only 2 tables inside though to charge a laptop from, so if I had any suggestion it would be more chargers. But hey, they might just be going for a authentic pub vibe devoid of laptops and people zoning out on work for hours. Cheers!
We stumbled across this place on Easter. I thought we were going feel out of place, but they welcomed us with open arms. We met the owner and had a blast. The drinks were composed very well. The food was excellent. We even ordered another two prime rib meals to go. Great service. Good atmosphere and good people. Slainte!!!!!!
This is a great Irish pub. The fish and chips were very good. I was super stoked that they had Irish spirits I havent seen anywhere else in California (Dingle gin and vodka) and that theyre served how I had them in Ireland.
They Have the best beer in the area.
Speedy service on a Thursday night. Had the special; bangers and mash (though I do realize thats not special for an Irish pub) and it was great. No beans though... But still, potatoes were fresh, gravy was great, and bangers were on point. And they had plenty of brown sauce. Neat place. Doesnt disappoint.
Fantastic Irish pub! Great food and creative cocktails in a laid back, yet chic, atmosphere. Limited vegetarian options but they make an amazing Vegetarian Irish breakfast. Hubbs had the fish and chips and it was good- I enjoyed his chips; one was practically a meal! If youre in JLS, check it out--you wont be disappointed.
The food was incredible, the place was lovely and the people there were even more so
Great bar, really good pint of Guinness, shame it was a Sunday night, bet it’s a great atmosphere when packed
The best fish n chips that I have had. The fish was perfectly cooked and not greasy. The service was wonderful
Great pub, with good service and does a good Irish breakfast with a cup of Barrys tea 😀.
Great authentic Irish pub just a block up from Jack London Square. Wonderful full bar with very knowledgeable and friendly staff. The food was terrific from the large serving of the fish and chips to the delicious shepherds pie. We went on a sunday afternoon and were treated to lovely music given by a small group of very talented pickers and singers. Great spot for an irish coffee too.
I love this place. If I am in the area of Jack London Square, it is my first choice for food. Being of Irish decent and having been to Ireland numerous times, it reminds me of a typical Irish pub in Ireland. Their Irish breakfast is the best item on the menu. I usually have it for dinner because it is served all day. They have live Irish music on some nights that is very enjoyable. Overall it is a brilliant place.
Excellent Irish Coffee. $6 Guinness every day. Nice selection of Irish Whiskeys. Good food. Competitive prices for the area. Owner, Jackie (sp) is very friendly & Irish!
Jackie, the owner, was warm & welcoming. Full Irish breakfast was good,& filling. Her family recipe soda bread was tasty. Its a lovely space, has a ton of charm.
My young daughter and I went to this Irish pub to pass the time before going to a kid movie. The fish and chips were delicious. That one order was enough food for both of us. They also had live music and I was introduced to an instrument I had never heard and my daughter was excited to see someone playing the violin since she had just started lessons. Atmosphere, food and cocktail were excellent.
Amazing Irish coffee and pretty good Irish grub. Tried the shepherds pie, Brussel sprouts, and ice cream cookie. All was delicious! Bit of a wait in terms of service though. My friends and I will come back on rugby game days!
Delicious food and strong drinks! Happy hour 4:30-7, saturday and Sunday 10-3pm bottomless mimosas for $20. Right next to the movie theater which is perfect. Friendly waitstaff and fast service.
Great ambience and nice Saturday morning/early afternoon place for breakfast or brunch. Full Irish breakfast offered, as well as traditional Irish coffee. Enjoyed hanging out with friends. Service a bit slow and food took a while..BUT they are very kind and accommodating. I personally think the wait times are just more in line with a true European experience where youre allowed to sit ans enjoy your company. Parking was what is expected close to Jack London Square. But all the street parking I found was within walking distance of restaurant.
Newly opened authentic Irish place in Jack London. Very friendly staff, nice setup of the place, large bar, lots of open seating, seems like a very nice casual hangout spot. Was doing swift business on a Sunday afternoon, but wasnt overly crowded, so it was comfortable. Drink prices are a little high imo ($8 for a pint of Guinness, could stand to be a couple bucks cheaper) but they pour a perfect pint. Decor was interesting, with books by Irish authors, and theres a dartboard. The painting of James Joyce is a nice touch.
One of the best bars in Jack London. Great food and bartenders, fun team. Amazing drinks.
A friend of mine and I went here not too long ago for the first time. We had heard mixed reviews and wanted to check it out for ourselves. We both were excited to try the shepherds pie but sadly we were both disappointed. It was served cold and tasted funny, like it was a few days old and the beer I paired with it was somewhat flat. Its odd because Im seeing a ton of five star reviews so who knows maybe it was an off night but even then we wont chance going back. One positive note, the service was incredibly friendly and in great spirits, that was enjoyable.
Incredibly kind and helpful staff, great whiskey selection and delicious, reasonably priced Irish pub food. I got the shepherds pie and she got the fish and chips, both delectable. I think this may be our new spot in Jack London Square. So glad to have found it!
I absolutely love this Irish Pub. It is a short distance from Jack London Square which gives you a nice alternative if youre looking for a cozy, laid back vibe. It has a very homey feel, wooden decor and fireplace which is perfect for those colder winter days. Our server (I wish i remembered his name) was just terrific! We definitely need to come back soon.
Authentic real Irish pub. Even the smell of Pete moss inside. The owners are from Ireland and have brought a true Irish menu with them. This will be new favorite stop on my way to At&t park to watch the Giants
First off, pulling off Irish food is hard. This place nails it. Traditional with the right departures, leaves you with an outstanding meal and the best parts of an Irish pub. As a person who was raised on soda bread and eaten all over Ireland I can stand by this place 110%.
This is the small and comfy bar you can make it your own. Now we go there all the time to relax after work. The bartenders are very nice amd remember your drinks after a few visits. Loved this place!
Okay. Yumm. Great Irish breakfast, great decor and super friendly service (make sure to ask for Jordan). And, being Irish and all that, the Irish coffee is absolutely to die for. They even have a life-size Oscar Wilde for you to ponder and gawk at while youre savoring your your Irish fare. I totally recommend this place any time of day.
This site is my favorite site. Of all restaurants I know I favor it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to that place. Whenever I want to go to a superb lunchon, this restaurant comes first to my mind. best and all sorts of food and a large menu.great staff, and good atmosphere. Also important, the expence is modest. I sent my friends to this restaurant with great pleasure.
We came late at night with a big group, and they were so welcoming. We all ordered food and drinks. Great late night option for a meal. Cocktails were great. Very cozy and warm be atmosphere.
So good!!!! The food is amazing as well as the beer and stout. A really cute environment as well with very nice people. I went there when it was pretty new and didnt have much people in it and went back a few weeks later and it was packed! Even the outdoor seating, so I hope this means theyre doing well because thier fish and chips are too tasty. They even give you the choice to have your food friend in rice bran vinegar or beef tallow, super important to me because I am pesco-vegetarian and would hate to have eaten something friend in need tallow. Great place! Check it out!
Great food, great selection of Irish beers and whiskeys, fantastic atmosphere and decor, cozy (fireplace!), but most of all genuinely friendly staff that really make you feel welcome. Be sure to go there.
I love this place so much. I always bring people here when they come into town for a visit. Good beer, great whiskey, fantastic food, some of the friendliest staff, AND the owner Jackie is a delight. Throw in some live Irish music...what more could you ask for?
My go to place for good atmosphere & company. Nice selection of alcohol & very creative cocktails. Trivia nite (Wednesdays) is lively, as is the live music on Fridays. Family friendly, too. Very nice.
Had THE BEST time while I was there visiting friends. Good food, great drinks, awesome atmosphere. Max is an absolute sweetheart, and the Quiz Master who ran the pub quiz was a total gem!
A very nice take on the classic Irish Pub and Grub model. I happen to get a chance to place the music in the bar recently and everybody that works in the place was very nice. The lady who owns the place is an Obviously good operator.
Looked very cozy and welcoming, Im sure it is. Very genuine if you want to drink crappy Irish beer and cider (think Harp Lager and Magners Cider). Less genuine if you look at the prices, with Guinness at $8 a pint and all-day Irish breakfast $16.
Grab a book off the shelves and read something quick about the Irish here, something nice, good times.
Their customer service is prompt and friendly, even to larger groups. My party consisted of 5 people playing a pen-and-paper RPG, and we felt right at home. The food and drink are satisfying, although some of the plates seem to be a little overpriced (specifically, the bangers and mash). Of course, it is understandable considering the location.
Slainte is a gem in Downtown Oakland. Ive eaten here many times throughout 2019-now, with consistently unique food and great atsmophere. So many great dishes, Crispy Brussel Sprouts are decadent and flavorful, Mac n Cheese is the stuff legends are made of, Shepards Pie, Fried Chicken Sandwich, Their breads are homemade, on and on. If you have yet to try authentic Irish fare, do not miss out. Im getting hungry thinking about it.
Bartender was genuine and a bit in the weeds... But super nice and polite! Wings were gamey. And the shepherds pie was ok..carrot chunks bigger than a champagne cork! Was hoping for better food... Coleslaw was awesome!!!
Good cocktails and a great place to come on the weekend with a group of friends to relax. Sometimes in the early afternoon you can catch some live music; definitely a pub you can spend a full afternoon at.
Were 6 Irish lads on a J1, popped into Sláinte today for some food and a drink, weve been in California for 2 months now and the food here was the closest thing to home weve had. The Shepards pie is reminiscent of what you would get for dinner at home , the fish and chips were also gorgeous. If you get the chance definitley pop in for a true pub ambience and Irish experience
Traditional Irish Pub started by an Irish woman. Authentic with all day Irish breakfast: beans, soda bread, boxty, eggs-over etc. Also fish n chips, shepherds pie...all yummy. As are the beers, Irish whiskey etc., and Mums recipe cake. Highly recommend.
Beautiful and authentic Irish bar with live music and gracious bartenders. Try the food, you wont be disappointed. The chips, soda bread and Irish breakfast are all amazing!
This Irish style bar in Jack London Square is a decent place to soak up the atmosphere, have a quick bite, or drink. The food is good although with a small menu selection is limited. Drinks can be expensive, so verify pricing before ordering.
Great happy hour. Definitely try the fish and chips with buttered peas (not mushy as claimed but still tasty). No beer-batter or coleslaw, thankfully!
The people are so friendly and welcoming. It is like a big family. Every Sunday the have live Irish music and people come and play their instruments. Its a great place to be. You need to visit know what I mean.
Great Irish pub with a great location. They have a nice menu, great brews and a chill atmosphere. The bartender was awesome!
Great pub food overall. Went a few times over my trip to Oakland, and the food was always fresh and always delicious.Appetizers:Their guiness wings are wonderfully cooked and very tasty. Moist on the inside, crispy and not greasy underneath. The battered bangers were very flavourful, got them on multiple occasions.Garlic chips were perfectly cooked, and very thick.Main dish: Potato Leek soup tasting almost straight from ireland. Not greasy like other potato leek soups ive had. Very tasty, very filling. Nearly licked the bowl clean.Same story with sheperds pie. The lamb carrots and rutabega combine beautifully with the cheesy potatos on top. Tasted super fresh and was piping hot for a while. Perfect for cold days.Desserts: Guiness cake was my all time favourite dessert fromanywhere. Not an overpowering beer taste from the cake, it actually has a very nice crispy outside and soft delicious inside. The gingerbread-y flavour gives the crispy outside a wonderful flavour thats perfect with the whiskey cream on top. Tastes just like christmas.
A large painting of Oscar Wilde (not James Joyce) greets you as you walk in. Everyone there is super friendly. Great spot for a low-key happy hour with coworkers, or a hearty Irish lunch w/ a pint.
Great spot! Love their Irish coffee, nice selection of beers too. The patio is a cool spot to hang out, and their Sunday brunch is pretty good.
Great drinks and food. .. snacks. Cheese and bread, Ploughmans lunch, crispy brussel sprouts,Traditional grub... Shepards pie, fish and chips, bangers and mash.... Really good 👍
Outstanding service and tasty comfort food.
The food here is nothing to write home about; the french fries were terrible and the shepherds pie was unimaginative--the mashed potatoes were only about an eighth of an inch thick. But as a bar, with music, it is great.
Love the chips here at Slainte! Very inviting place. Definitely a neighborhood pub, good vibes and friendly service. Love the fireplace and playing cards available for a game of poker.
Opening day you expect rookie waiters, slow service or some other mishap. NOT the case here--the waiters were spot on with fast, friendly service. The food was great and cooked to order. Great drinks, great atmosphere. Slainte!
Rustic and cozy. Good location. Only tried the appetizers on the menu, which were all delicious, though on the oily side. Decent selection of Irish beer!
Fantastic, cozy ambiance. Significant bar menu of fine spirits. Solid food. Great service. I loved visiting this place.
Love this place. Irish breakfast all day every day and the whole menu is good. Wish it were cheaper but its on par with other Jack London haunts.
I get to eat here a lot since I work in the area. I love how the customer service is always awesome and they keep the spot well organized consistently. Prices are affordable and they serve sizeable portions.
The food and drinks are excellent! The monthly themed dinners are exquisite! My wife and I attended the rum themed dinner in December and it was definitely worth it.
Pleasant place for conversations, drinks and pub grub. Decor reminiscent of actual Irish pub rather than tourist trap. Quiet enough to talk with friends - yay!
Amazing food and service. Very reasonable prices. Great staff
We were there visiting and decided to try this bar out. Wonderful service! Great drinks and amazing chicken wings! Cant wait to be able to come back, I need some more of those glazed wings!
I admire this restaurant very much. there is a different atmosphere. The cuisine is good. the service is effective and the personel is trained. The price is satisfactory. I definitely recommend.
I loved it though they refused to make an Irish car bomb. But, I wont hold it against them Id definitely return. Great atmosphere
Amazing first experience here. Fried Chicken Sandwich, Hot Irish Coffee, and a great atmosphere. Not hard to find parking on a Sunday morning.
This spot has superb service as well as enjoyable meals. One of my favourite spots in the area. The food came out quick and the rates were economical. I recommend this place.
This restaurant gives fantastic service and tasty menu. My favourite restaurant around here. The food served rapidly and the prices were economical. Highly recommended.
Full Irish breakfast and fish n chips are excellent. Also good for dogs - they brought my pup a free sausage :)
They pour a really solid Guiness
Lovely pub. Bright and not to noisy. Reasonably priced. Good food. Staff friendly. Near to ferry building.
IMO best Irish coffee I’ve ever had! Proper pub to watch a soccer game (come on you spurs)...good food and service I highly recommend this place
Food and drinks were good super cute place. They had comedy the night I went... It was horrible and we ended up leaving before ordering meals because of it. Might try a different night when they have music.
Lovely staff and as close as youll get to a pub back home. Their food is the real deal and the soda bread is divine, lively place, nice people and good staff what more could you want
Good spot. Good food. Great Guinness.
Great atmosphere and fantastic wait staff. Food was also excellent.
Great atmosphere and good drinks selection! The food is also amazing!If you are in the area it’s worth a stop!!
Great atmosphere and great food. The irish breakfast is especially good, the best black and white pudding Ive had in a very long while.
Service was great, so was the beer and the brussel sprouts! Recommend this place.
Great Irish coffee! Tried the brussel sprouts, nice and crispy. Definitely a nice spot to visit for a traditional Irish menu
Went for trivia night. Superfun. The girls liked their cocktails. Beer was cold. Ordered a sausge butty and I am now hooked for life.
I love this place. Delicious food, wonderful music and great drinks. The fireplace seating is super cozy.
Fabulous food and atmosphere! Drinks are great too! Authentic Irish pub!
Classic Guinness poured properly from a solid Irish pub.
If you like anything Irish you will love this place. Great service, great menu-there idea if fish and chips is a fillet!

This is definitely the best Irish pub in town. Solid menu, great drink selection, amazing decor
The place has a cool atmosphere, grub and drinks were great. The only issue was the smell of sewage had to be its downfall.
Food was so good. The people are great and the atmosphere was wonderful.
Cozy atmosphere with solid selection of beers and drinks.
Great out door seating! Taste food! Live music (sometime) too!
If you have overnights in Oakland, then do visit this Irish pub. Its a new pub with very friendly owners and the best pub food. We enjoyed!
Great atmosphere. Terrific menu.
Delicious! They really strive for an authentic experience, in preparation and ingredients. Try the whiskey sour--you will not be disappointed.
Servers are top notch attentive and food is good. Large selection of drinks makes it worth the stay with the live music
This place as a vibe. Cool Calm n Collected. You come in once and I guarantee you will be back. Its family here supported by fabulous food and great drinks.
Good service. Beautiful setting by the fireplace. Average prices. Fish and chips were a little disappointing. No flavor.
Great options for Irish themed cocktails and food. Friend & I both tried iced coffee - strong but tasty!
Great spot to buy food when in a hurry. Their service is swift, prices are affordable, good mood. I highly recommend this spot.
Service was very friendly. Food Menu wasnt very appealing and drink menu was boring. Overall, it was a pub. Not a good pub.
Foods are good! So are the drink selection! The service is excellent as well.
Unexpectedly good menu. And our servers were sweet, funny and accommodating during a very busy Friday night service.
Absolutely great with Irish music
Literally fantastic. Great food, great atmosphere. Fish and Chips were choice!
The food here is incredible. Asked about the Scotch egg
Got the Irish breakfast, very tasty, I wish there was more of it. My opinion is that there should be two pieces of everything on the plate.
The Irish coffee was great! So was the mac and cheese! Lovely atmosphere.
Good food
Enjoyed the drinks and atmosphere. Didnt have anything to eat so I couldnt give them a higher rating.
Excellent food, drink and staff. My new favorite Irish bar in Oakland.
Great place for solo and group hangouts. Great crowd and good deals during special occasions like sporting events or holidays!
I enjoy Sunday brunch here. There are good Irish breakfasts as well as tradiyional Irish lunches.
This was a neat little place. Good drinks and food. Seating area was a little torn up but ki d of felt like home.
Great fun! Great drink! Great owner! Great staff! For a drink with friends, or a pint and a bite: go!
A really nice little pub, cozy atmosphere, decent food and amazing drinks! Eddie is awesome, btw!
Joyful environment, great Irish fiddle music, a lovely pint of Guinness and yummy fish and chips.
Great music sessions. Super friendly atmosphere. Also good pub grub.
Cozy pub, friendly environment with a killer Irish coffee. We enjoyed sitting by the fireplace.
Had great time there
Cute, friendly Irish pub.
Great little bar, nice whiskey but didnt like the Guinness
Great Irish pub with amazing fish and chips. Be sure to get the cheese and garlic on the chips!
Great atmosphere, good food and even Irish music on a Saturday afternoon.
Would definitely recommend trying this place. Fantastic ambience, yummy dishes, fantastic service. 5 stars.
Drinks and food were amazing!
One of the best places in the East Bay! Great for drinks or a quick bite and the staff is amazing!
Armen, the first Armenian I have ever met with an Irish lilt.
Excellent pub with friendly staff and great food/drink. Highly recommend stopping by.
Enjoyed the best Irish coffees, as well as wonderful entertainment.Great atmosphere.
Love this place. Quaint and always with good conversation, as of course great Irish beer.
Awesome place with great staff and delish food! Obviously the Guinness is fresh
Great food. Great drinks. Great service. Great live Irish music.

2022-06-27Even if you dont drink alcohol, this is a great place to get some delicious grub. Grub in a pub, say it with me! Anyway, I tried the fish sandwich with potato salad and it might just be the best fish sandwich Ive ever had. The fish was high quality, soft and not chewy, and had a wonderful crispy at times and crunchy at times batter. The potato salad was not what I expected, but even better. The potatoes were cooked to perfection. Prices are more than reasonable for what you are getting. I cannot get over how good the fish was and I highly recommend this place. Just because its a pub and you dont drink doesnt mean the food is not good. Apparently, quite the opposite, so give it a try! Either way, if you drink or dont drink, theres something for everyone. And the ambiance was also great. Reminded me of those Irish pubs you see in the movies. I dont know how traditional it is, but its such a great atmosphere.

2022-06-11It was crazy good here! Went here to do something different. What a great surprise! Shepherds pie, rolled sausage and chips was to die for. And, lets not forget the ginger cake with whiskey whipped cream! Amazing! Gotta go to Oakland to get it though!

2021-08-01Fish and Chips cold and mushy on inside. Perfectly fried on outside. To cheap to have bottles of Malt Vinegar, instead they give you a tiny spray bottle. 13 bucks for a cocktail and they cant afford Malt Vinegar?

2022-07-06The staff were some of the friendliest servers Ive had. There were also some people singing songs that brought in a nice atmosphere. My friend and I ordered our drinks an IPA & Guinness both tasted good no bad aftertaste. The mini Shepperds Pie was very good as well.

2022-02-10We had pints, Jameson and the smoked cod croquettes. Generous pours, and the croquettes were tasty, perfectly crisp on the outside with a creamy interior and a good amount of smoked fish. Service was great too. We will definitely be back again.

2022-03-11Second time here since the pandemic started and we moved away from Oakland. Came here for lunch on a Thursday and sat outside. They updated the menu and unfortunately they only have the full Irish breakfast on the weekends. Now they have a lot of small plates plus a few of the favorites including the fish and chips. The food is still amazing and we had great service.Original review: Great beer, food, and people. Plus music on the weekends. My favorite hangout.

2022-03-23The bangers & mash and fish & chips are very good here. The pasties are ok - wish they had veggies mixed in with the meat. Love that they have Smithwicks on tap, and are kid friendly. They even had a high chair for us to use, and the staff was beyond helpful & friendly. 5+ stars!
