Very cool pub with an amazing bartender! Don't like whiskey that's fine, they have any liquor or beer you can think of. Great shot specials. The food was delicious! Indoor and outdoor seating.

This pub always has great food! Went for lunch and to eat and watch the Buc’s game. I had the Reuben with chips while my wife had the Cuban Sandwich and tots! Food was fantastic and the beer was cold! Bartender Izzy was also very friendly and knowledgeable about beer and shot selection! We love to stop here whenever we are in YBOR or headed to the casino.

Where do I start, everything about the place is great! The food is incredible, ate there 3 times (last time was the weekend of 7/8/23) and tried diff. menu items each time - 👍👍👍 not 2 but 3 thumbs up to the chef. Our server Izzy is the best...if you get her as a server, it's better than finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow - she is awesome. If I didn't live in Orlando, I'm sure I'd have my own bar stool there like Norm from Cheers - it's just that welcoming. Looking at the recent 1 star review(singular), such as having half the menu crossed off - apparantly that reviewer has a seperate agenda for the place that has nothing to do with the food, service or atmosphere of this establishment. Keep up the good work Ladies and Lads.

Popped here to watch a Premier League game and it was nice to see it lively and the crowd chanting Heurelho Gomes’ name during the Spurs game. A bit strange given he hadn’t played for them for about nine years but each to their own! There were about 40 beers on tap which great to see of many varieties. Despite the busyness the chap behind the bar and waitress were very efficient and friendly. You wouldn’t get that in England. The only downside was the food. I ordered small Guinness tots, but got given some loaded fries which had a biblical amount of cheese on, chillies and very so so greasy. They really weren’t that enjoyable. The consensus from the group was the same that food wasn’t great and too greasy. Not to take too much away from the bar though. It’s great for booze and sport and a lively friendly spot.

Honestly, this Irish pub has the best tasting Guinness in the whole Tampa Area & it’s one of the few pubs that actually offer Kilkenny. Mondays there is Live music, Tuesdays is Ladies Karaoke and I believe Wednesdays is Bingo night. There is always something going on that is engaging and the atmosphere, vibes are amazing ! Haha you won’t regret coming here-

Fantastic place. Food was killer and reasonably priced. I will go back. Watch for the sign though, they are named RyGuys on Google maps but they are actually incorporated into the Irish pub. Not sure why but, still a great place nonetheless. And yes, you are allowed to talk to the chickens if ypu like. Just can't feed them.

My husband and I came for a late lunch in the afternoon we parked across the street at one of the paid parking lots because unfortunately the parking lot dedicated for the restaurant was blocked off by a gate so no one could park there . When we came in the bartender said we could sit where we liked so we chose a spot by the back of the restaurant near the kitchen and a nice looking electrical fireplace the Irish music and atmosphere was pleasant and I liked the decorations . My husband ordered a beer called 3 daughters on draft and I got a sweet tea and a water . We split boneless wings that were Parmesan garlic flavor a half order which I regretted getting a half order and wish I would have gotten the full instead since they were so flavorful and well cooked I got the shepherds pie that is made with beef pot roast that just falls apart instead of ground beef wonderful gravy and mashed potatoes covered with cheddar cheese it was so good . My husband got the fish and chips which was really good and the fries were well seasoned hand cut fries that still had a little bit of skin on them . We had an enjoyable experience there were only two staff when we first arrived and there was a large Meetup app group that kept growing changing seats and asking for a million different things, our waiter who was their waiter too and had other tables handled it well and the bartender jumped in to help with the table . As it got later in the day when we were leaving more staff came in to handle the dinner rush . We will be back we had an enjoyable anniversary lunch we have been together for 10 years and married for a little over a year so thank you for making it a memorable day . Hope to come back when there is live music on :)

Amazing service and drinks. Did not eat here, so I could not rate the food, but what I saw come out looked great. We had a great time here and a must visit when in the area.

Sona gave us the best Monday night drinking experience. Highly recommend the duck fart and the fried pickles.
