We met our RV friends here while staying at a locate RV Park - I do like Irish Pubs so my expectations were high. We were so fortunate to have Shelby as our server she made a good experience a great one which started the moment we were seated - I always default to a few pints of red ale when available and the ice cold Red Right Return Red Ales were refreshing and delicious. This place was pretty busy, maybe they come for the food and drinks or maybe for the live entertainment, the acoustic here are decent but the music was a little loud but not annoying by any means. We chose the large plumb blackened dry rub wings and the Friday night special fish and chips (delicious haddock). The food was delicious and everything was delivered to our table hot from the kitchen. Dining here was definitely a good choice we had a great time, the prices are reasonable and this is a place I'd return to and probably explore some of their classic dishes my next visit... read more

The beer is good the food however not so much. Maybe it was a bad night but if an Irish pub serves cold vegetables in and ketchup on top of their cottage pie they wrongfully call a shepherds pie I'm not sure much else would be good. 1 and done for me. read more

Came to 1916 after work. We were starving! Had the wonderful opportunity of meeting the new male bartender who seemed to be wonderful. But he wasn't! We ordered a bruschetta and it took one and a half hours to get to the bar! I'm sorry but how can you mess up tomatoes, balsamic, basil and garlic on toasted baguettes? $20 for two Kentucky bourbon ales? The excuse was that they had a big table in the restaurant. Yes there was a table of the eight, another table of four and five patrons at the bar!!! I'm sorry I'm just not understanding that! I've been in the bar and restaurant business for over 40 years now so you explain that to me. We've been here on a Friday night with the place absolutely totally slammed and they can cover everything but tonight they couldn't do it right!!! So beware when you're coming in on a weeknight! Your service may not be up to par! The bartender wanted to argue about slipping and not putting the order in, that was the capper. We won't be back. Just wanted to thank the regular barmaids there. They are awesome! read more

Great spot for some traditional dishes! We had shepherd's pie and Irish stew. No complaints! Great service and a fun atmosphere. read more

We stopped in here on a Friday night before a concert in Tampa. Our server was very nice and understood when we explained we were on a time crunch. The food came out pretty quickly and was prepared correctly. My partner's favorite drink of the night was the pink lady. The rebel Reuben was very good with a lot of meat. I really enjoyed the fresh chips too. I wasn't a huge fan of the fried pickles, I've had better but the two sauces were nice. The cheesecake was too sweet for us, wouldn't get it again. They also had live music which was nice. If we are back in town this would be a spot we'd stop at again. read more

Fries were crispy on the outside and creamy inside, perfect. Burger cooked medium, perfect. Shepherd's pie made out of cow not sheep, but had good flavor. Beer ice cold. Service was great. Don't care for the teen music. Would rather hear something Irish. I'll be back. read more

Great place. Enjoy the atmosphere. The beer selection was off the charts and the hamburger and fries were extremely good. I'm looking forward to going back. read more

Was seated for an hour , idk who was the server but I was not checked on once , the only time I got checked on or talked to was because I brought burger from burger king across the street and some guy came up to me with attitude and yelled at my table for bringing outside food and was told to leave , still didn't get checked on after I came back read more

Nice Irish vibe but with a pricey Guinness draft. I shared and really enjoyed the Irish Nachos with fresh fried potato chips. The service was above average and attentive to our needs. I plan to return. Recommended! read more

This was my first time coming to 1916, I live in the area, and I met up with some friends on a weekday night. Even met great people there but the bar service was terrible, just no service, I had to flag down the bartender to be scene, (but I was absolutely obvious sitting at the bar). Then we waited over an hour to get our order, the food was good but the portion size was very small, not a meal size more like a snack. Btw, a bit pricey too, 4 beers and 2 shepherds pies almost $60 bucks at 8:00pm. Won't be back... (btw and the TV was blaring loud from. The other side of the restaurant, don't even know why, there was 6-8 at the bar and 1- 8 top table) read more

Customer service was amazing the girls were very attentive, food was on time and as expected. Highly recommended read more

1916 Irish Pub - Irish Pub Near Me - Plant City, Florida

1916 Irish Pub 2309 W. Thonotosassa Rd., Plant City, FL 33563 2.5 Stars (local chain review) This local chain (three locations) is owned and operated by the partnership of Chuck Jamieson and Duke Mendel. They are relatively new to the food scene and as such, have accomplished a great deal with three locations. Kudos to them. Tabby is the bartender/server today and if she spent just a bit more time with the paying customers instead of flirting with a dude in a yellow neon worker vest, she would have been great at her job. As it was? Meh. From what I could tell there are basically two seating options here. You either sit at the bar or at a giant tables. Looking around, I could see this location was filled with grotesque misanthropes during the lunch hour. If I didn't have to stop here, I most likely wouldn't. It reminded me of a place haunted by the Sawyer family of TCM history... I did manage to lure Tabby away from her paramour to place an order for one Rebel's Reuben with a side of Pesto Parmesan Fries. Themed after the 1916 Easter Uprising in Ireland, I found the décor to be both interesting and educational. I was caught groaking at it when Tabby returned with my grub (see pics). I snapped a few pics and got to work. I turned my persnickety palate to The Rebel's Reuben first. I love a good sandwich. They can range from the simple to the complex with a plethora of flavor options. This was your typical Reuben with corned beef, German sauerkraut, melted Swiss and homemade 1,000 Island dressing on marbled rye. It wasn't bottom-of-the-barrel quality, but it wasn't top-tier either. This was sub-par and certainly not going to win any awards. The one stand-out was the homemade 1,000 Island. This was poppin' with character. If the rest of the sandwich lived up to this, it would be 4 Stars for sure. Turning my taste buds to the Parmesan Fries, I grabbed a few and stuffed them in my empty maw. The fries were bottom-of-the-bucket, frozen junk fries. They were cooked properly, but they were flavorless. Quality fries can't cost all that much more than those from the dregs of the food service industry. Step it up, Gentlemen! The Big Boy says, "This is an easy skip, especially this location." read more

I felt the service was just ok. Asked for two waters one with lemons and got one water no lemon. Of course Guinness on draft was nice and cold, but pretty pricey. Food was just ok, we ordered the Irish nachos. Music was also very loud and we had a hard time hearing other guests in our party. read more

1916 Irish Pub was a pleasant surprise in this low-key Plant City plaza. Top quality food with ample servings and above-average presentations for what you think an Irish Pub would offer. 1916 was fairly quiet on a Saturday night around 5pm. There were people around but the place wasn't packed. Our server was around quick and greeted us. She was friendly and got our drink orders in. Beers were had almost all around and I had their Old Fashioned with Basil Hayden's. This place is pretty big on the inside. A stage in the front corner. Dimly lit with plenty of seating at either tables or the bar. Tons of tv's were around playing all kinds of sports. Country music was playing in the background. After the drinks came out, we got to ordering our food. I wasn't super hungry so I went with the small plate of the Traditional Shepherd's Pie. My wife ordered the grilled chicken Ceaser wrap with fries. My sister ordered the boneless wings. Also ordered at the table was the Cuban, the Rueben, The Turk, and The Quiet Man. (all sandwiches) The food didn't take super long but it wasn't the quickest. It took the amount of time I would think that a larger order of freshly made food would take. Everything came out at once and it was all hot and fresh. My Traditional Shepherd's Pie was no "small plate". This decently sized meal came out in a piping hot cast iron skillet. Layered under a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes and cheese was a well-seasoned and perfectly cooked mixture of ground beef and lamb. Also mixed in were peas and carrots. This had a nice crust on top it hit the spot. I highly enjoyed this. My wife enjoyed her wrap. While it was tasty, it seemed about as good of a wrap as any other place. The fries were seasoned with garlic and parmesan and while flavorful, they did come out rather greasy. I don't think she finished them. My sister enjoyed her wings. Looking around the table, the hearty sandwiches that were ordered seemed freshly made with top-quality ingredients. The prices here weren't the lowest in town but the servings sizes here were at least reflected in that. Besides my dad, no one finished a whole sandwich. Everyone had half left to take home. There were no complaints. As we were finishing up, a guy was unpacking his band set-up for a night of live music. We hit the early bird here for a quiet dinner but its seems later at night, 1916 come alive with music, drinks and even more good times. If you're looking for good food in a relaxed atmosphere and you got a big appetite, check out 1916 Irish Pub. read more

Wow!! Stopped here for a quick bite off the highway. Boy, we were not disappointed! I got the Mediterranean hummus plate and husband got the Cuban sandwich with tots. The hummus plate was good. Rock solid and house made. The Cuban was out of this world! It was huge and the larger second half went home with us for dinner. Check this place out next time you're in town! read more

1916 Irish Pub - Pizza was amazing! Service was good! - Irish Pub Near Me - Plant City, Florida

We were expect bar food before we arrive at this place. The restaurant look like normal bar. Not many customers during weekdays. We look at the menu and feel the items are very interesting. Not many place serve hog fish, this is one of the few I can count. I got the main dish as grilled blackened hog fish. It come with fried and the coleslaw. The portion of fish is big enough. Fish is fresh. It has good blackened taste. Our appetizers are the the Irish Stew and Aran Island Shepherd's Pie. The Irish stew serve in the sourdough bread bowl. The stew meat was slow cook in red wine and Guinness beer. It is delicious. The Shepherd pie is different than most shepherd pie I have. It serve on potatoes skin. As you can see, this is not you typical bar food. The chef has good skill. Definitely a different type of food with great restaurant standard. I will definitely come back for the hog fish. read more

We liked it. We stopped for lunch. We both ordered sandwiches. My wife ordered a Greek Gyro. Sort of surprised they had this at an Irish Pub. It wasn't as good as one at a Greek restaurant but merited a 4 out of 5. I had the 1/2 Reuben. It too was decent. Not amazing but decent. Here again, 4 out of 5. Our server (Marina) was super pleasant. She was taking care of the entire place, so service was a touch slow - but not horrible All in all, we'd eat here again. read more

My friend wanted to come here for her birthday, and I get the feeling that this isn't really a place that people come to eat, as we were the only people sitting at a table and ordering food. The food was good and unique, but I think it would be much more fun if we would have came to drink and shoot some pool (weeknight so we couldn't.) There were people drinking at the bar and playing pool, but surprisingly it wasn't that loud which we enjoyed! The waitress was incredibly sweet as well. I'd be willing to come back on a date night with my husband just to hang out and try some new local beers on tap. read more

So this place has a very interesting special for every Monday's which I though was cool of them. Every Monday between 5-7pm they have what is called Happy Hour, but what's better is that they give out free sample of food for you to try. On this occasion I tried out there pasta and macaroni salad which was good. Also there not stingy with the portions. You can take a good portion of food to try. So whenever you happen to be around this place on a Monday, go checked them out and try out thier samples for free. read more

April 17, 2021 lunch. Party of two. Ordered irish stew in bread bowl. Wonderful! MAJOR CONCERN. No Covid awareness by staff. During lunch customers arrived and departed wearing masks. No staff was observed with masks. Uncercertain as to between customers Sanitization procedures. Minor problem. Requested extra gravy. Promptly served from the Refrigerator. read more

The food was mediocre. The drinks were terrible I ordered some specialty cocktail and was probably the nastiest cocktail I've ever had.

What a great place to have a great meal and enjoy a cocktail. My husband rarely orders bourbon old fashions because makes them at home exactly like he likes them. This place he said should have 10 stars! The service was great, the drinks were exactly as expected and the food is really good! That was another shock! E let the folks working at TownePlace to inform future guests, swing by 1916 Irish Pub where they will be greeted with a friendly staff and well tended to throughout the visit. Wished this place was in my neighborhood. read more

First time visiting 1916 Irish Pub. I had the chicken pesto flatbread and my husband had grilled fish & chips. I'd rank my flatbread 3.5/5. The flavor was good, but it was greasy. My husband ranked his 2.5/5. His fish was overcooked and fries weren't anything special. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. read more

Ate there Saturday night. We had a party of four, and Holly our sever took very good care of us. I had the County Cork corned beef sandwich, and slaw. Only this not to like was that ordered a half sandwich, and could have eaten more. Had slaw, I forget the name, but not your usual slaw. Was great. Wife had the fish and chips, and it was good. Fries are great, seasoned just right. Look forward to dining there often. read more
