Went here for Valentines Day dinner. Loved the atmosphere. They had live music which was awesome. I loved most of the food we ordered. I found the concept of the Creme brulee cheesecake fascinating but couldn't bring myself to actually like it. Maybe it's just...Read More

Great food and customer service. The manager was very willing to help accommodate me when I requested for a low carb margarita. The stew was good and something you wouldn't expect at a restaurant. The fish and chips were delicious. I would definitely come back...Read More

This is my favorite local Irish pub, authentic Irish food, warm atmosphere and large spaces (separate walk-in and reserved areas on busy days for minimal waiting) . We enjoyed the live music on St Patrick day.

We love it here. We went with a large group of 12 for lunch on a Tuesday and were able to get seated all together. The service is quick and amazing and the selection of Irish fair is pretty excellent.

I love that Auld Shebeen pours a pint of Guiness the right way and I hope other Irish bars follow suit. Like everywhere in America, the food is of lower quality compared to the food in Ireland. It's not Auld Shebeen's fault; the basic ingredients they...Read More
