I took clients there today for lunch and was rather embarrassed as they had a limited menu; I have eaten there before and it was very good. The fish and "plank" was very dry; the salads had nothing on them . . . was very disappointed. I was hoping to treat my clients to a much nicer lunch. read more

Shittiest bar in area service wise. The bartender immediately yelled at us right when we walked in. She only had three tables. I even tried to give her some sympathy with it being a big weekend and she still was so unbelievable rude to us. read more

They'll try to make any drink you like! The food is good. It is British/Irish. Bangers and mash are good.

I'm not sure if they were understaffed but went in for a late dinner around 2030hrs. One female was the bartender and server for the whole dining room. Ordered a Guinness which tasted very flat that I didn't finish. When I went to order the food, I was told they were out of potato's and cabbage so just about everything on the hearty meals menu was not available. Including the stew which was going to be my go-to. What Irish restaurant doesn't have potato's and cabbage? Ended up getting the seafood pasta plate. It was bland and watery. Got my tab and waited, and waited, and waited for her to come back so I could pay but she was busy with other guests and behind the bar and talking to a highly intoxicated gentleman. Overheard her tell the customers who came in after me that they were closing at "9 or 10" when the hours listed show them open til 2300hrs. That was at 2055 before I'd even gotten my meal. I ended up going up to the bar to pay my tab since she was not coming to my table. A major strikeout for me on food, drink AND service. read more

This place did a fantastic job in recreating a traditional Irish pub theme and meals.

We have been coming here a long time and stopped by for dinner last Sunday for a few beers and an early dinner. There was one guy who was the bartender and the only server. There was a football game on so it was much too busy to be that understaffed. The poor guy tried but... Clearly a management fail, we most likely will find another place to spend our hard earned money. read more

Great place, cozy & welcoming & great, HAPPY staff! Appreciate! Great reviews do not have to be long reviews do they? read more

Fantastic Irish pub two blocks off main Street. just came in for drinks. But looked at the menu they have all the Irish classics for food. Try one of their draft beer is called Irish death. So fun. read more

The drinks were priced fairly reasonably, and the waitress/bartender during the afternoon was very friendly -- but the food wasn't very good, and the place smelled of strong cleaning products. Like to the point of getting nauseous. We got the pasties. They were 90% pastry crust, 9% mashed potatoes, and 1% ground beef. There was probably a half ounce of meat between the two pasties. Not an exaggeration. They tasted like a generic pre-made product re-heated from Sysco. (Also like if you ordered the Shepard's Pie, you'd get the same thing, with a different presentation) The atmosphere was also as though it were ordered out of a generic catalog of Irish bar decor. Sort of like a turn-key "Start your own Irish Bar" thing. Overheard the waitress saying 11 of her 12 tables that day were tourists. Makes sense that it's a place you don't go back to if you're local. 3 stars instead of 1 though, since the waitress was so nice! read more

Place was full. We found two stools at the bar. Ordered IPA's. Good cold beer. I had the Lamb Shank with mash potatoes & beets. It was better than I expected. The lamb was perfectly cooked, moist, tender, delicious! Gal bartending was pleasant and friendly. Nice Irish Pub! read more

The food wasn't horrible, but if you want to get COVID, pony up at this place. Nobody was wearing masks, including the entire staff. Our server was leaning against the tables, grabbing cash tips, grabbing peoples' glasses for refills, everything short of hugging strangers. We almost left, but figured, at that point, we were already exposed. It's possible they all followed recommendations made by experts last year and drank bleach to make themselves immune. Shy of that, they have to be ground zero. BTW, the food was in no way worth needing a ventilator. read more

We stopped in really hungry at 9:30 at night there was one person at the bar and the bartender we asked the bartender are you still serving food she said yes until 10 o'clock and that was the end of it we sat there for 20 minutes and she never approached us... blonde hair no brain. read more

I stopped in here for dinner. It was crowded and people seemed to be having a good time. I was seated quickly. This is an Irish pub, so the menu reflects that theme. I ordered the corned beef and cabbage. The beef was tender. It might have been a bit too tender. The cabbage was good, cooked just right. It came with lots of carrots, which were tender without being mushy. They were served nice and hot. I ate all I could; it was good. They had a very good singer playing. I enjoyed his music very much. His voice and his songs fit the place perfectly. Not feeling particularly well, I ordered water for dinner. They were a little slow in bringing it. Good food, great atmosphere, friendly service make for a pleasant evening. read more

This place Sucks!! Here for dinner, friend had the meatloaf, pulled a big plastic piece out of his mouth after taking a bite of his meatloaf, had the Irish cheese steak! Worst price of crap I've had in awhile!! Let alone the waiter!!! WTF!!!! Bartender was alright, probably the only good thing here!!! read more

A party of four of us had lunch here. We did not arrive until 1 PM. From the time we ordered our food until it arrived, it was 50 minutes. I'm sorry, but that is way too long. My husband and I split a Reuben sandwich. It certainly was not the best I've ever had but it was OK. Not much meat and I had to search to find the sauerkraut. One of our friends had the chicken pot pie and she liked it. Our other friend had a sandwich that was made out of pretzel bread and he enjoyed it. The ambience is very nice and our bartender was nice but not very attentive. I would have given it one more star had it not taken so long to get our food. That can be the kiss of death for a restaurant. read more

Went for a girls night, food has seasons.. real good authentic food. The people are real nice too. The establishment is clean. read more

The food was good! The service was very unbearable and slow. Perhaps that was just for outdoor seating. I went inside 5 out of six times to purchase a drink at the bar cash instead. Probably won't return as I've found better options in the area! read more

Washroom: Nice lighting, acceptable scent, odd number of urinals, quality paper towels.

Went on a Saturday for lunch. Place was pretty empty. Nice enough inside - like a chain Irish pub. I started with an apple cider. Mmmm apple cider. I had a corned beef reuben. It was really good - good amount of corned beef, well flavored with the sauce and other ingredients. I had a salad with it - which was small and pretty pathetic. I also asked for some soda bread (my girlfriend got some with her salad). It was nothing like real soda bread - it was more like a cranberry scone. It was really good - a bit sweet. My father-in-law got fries with his reuben - they were quite good. Crispy, a bit spiced. Nice. Our server was really good. He got me at least 5 refills of water. And at the end, recited a long poem for us, which was interesting. Didn't care much for it, but it was certainly novel. read more

Food was delicious. Had the Salmon Flatbread and are planning a trip back from the east just for that. The Rueben is probably the best I've ever had, and if you read my crap, you'll see that I love Ruebens. My lady friend had a Pastie; light, fluffy, and delectable. The gravy was a perfect accompaniment to a great dish. We can't wait to return to Kalispell and have another outstanding meal at Brannigans. read more

This review was over due! When I lived in Montana, Brannigan's Pub was one of my go to places to go after work for a good time and delish food. It's cozy and plenty of TV's to enjoy. My two favorite dishes I use to get and to this time miss and crave is the Shepard's Pie and the Banger and Mash BUT before getting one or the other as my main course, I started with the Dippin' Sticks...that delicious stone-ground mustard cheesy beer dip is legit!! Great place to hang out. read more

Really good affordable food and great wait staff. Had a yummy meatloaf and cider. Wifi speed is good, I recommend this place for travelers or locals. read more

Came in for lunch and only had an appetizer of assorted goodies ~ " a wee bit of many things" and it was delicious!!!! read more

Brannigan's Pub - Irish Near Me - Kalispell, Montana

Brannigan's...a solid 4! We've eaten here twice. The first time I had corned beef and cabbage, and the second time I had the reuben. I have a dairy allergy so they left the cheese off of the reuben. The atmosphere here is fantastic, truly very Irish. They have a great beer and Irish Whiskey selection (very nice). Both times we were here for lunch on a Sunday and it was almost empty inside. The service was friendly, though nothing to gush over. They accommodated my dairy allergy. The corned beef is just awesome, and they keep their beer lines nice and clean (AWESOME, why don't more places take good care of their lines?) However, the sides (salad with the reuben) and other accoutrement are really kinda "meh." So, while I will definitely eat here again, it wasn't anything I'd write home about. Also, it seemed a bit pricey ($13 reuben, if I recall) for the food for what it is. Not horrible, just a little high. Solid place, I'd check it out if I were you! read more

Guinness stout on tap is always a good thing. We got pasties that come with a side of gravy. You can choose to get one, two or three. They are well-filled and have a nice crust. We also got a turkey Reuben sandwich that comes on a tasty marble rye bread. It had a thick layer of turkey, and the thick fries were hot and fresh out of the fryer. It's a heavy meal here, to be sure. read more

Went in with a party of 6, fresh off the road. Stood there unacknowledged for a few minutes before asking if we could seat ourselves. Sat and waited 10 minutes with no waitress in sight before we decided to leave. Unfortunate, because the menu looked great and interior was cool. read more

I ate here forever ago and realized just now that I never posted a review. I cannot speak highly enough of the Reuben sandwich. The marbled rye was delicious. It was stacked high with loads of thick, amazing corned beef. The sauerkraut was on point and the thousand Island sauce was delectable. I drool just thinking about that sandwich!! read more

Service was bad, food was good about quick enough. The people who were working there didn't check if we (my boyfriend and I) needed refills, until way after we needed them. Then we were waiting for like an hour for our check, we ended up having to go walk up to the servers to pay at the bar and they were just standing there on their phones. read more

Good spot to stop for Irish food in Kalispell. Had the bangers and mash my wife had shepherd's pie both were very good and ample portions. Wait staff was nice and friendly read more

Sure get the Reuben. Whatever. This place sucks, but honestly where are you going to eat in this town?

Great food, great atmosphere, excellent service. One of our all-time favorite places to eat in Kalispell.

I've eaten twice a month at Brannigan's Pub for over a year to two years. Great staff, great environment, good food... swing by and grab a pint. read more

Service was great! Food was great! Gussie was really busy but she was still attentive and took great care of us! This was our first time here and hopefully we will be back again soon! Thank you!! read more

Went in for lunch- not crowded; maybe 2 other parties seated. Our server was friendly but had to listen other server talk so loud everyone in the place heard her life story, financial situation and her summer plans. She also was openly flirting w other servers and highlighted ones sexual orientation. Very uncomfortable to endure. Older couple seated next to us seemed put off as well. Food overpriced and mediocre. Check the menu before going. read more

I crave their Reuben sandwich. Best one I have ever had. It has so much meat on it, it's ridiculous. And it's huge - my sister and I usually share it. Get the tomato-bacon dressing on a side salad - very savory. My brother loves the Shepherd's pie and Ghost Death beer. We are pasty snobs - our mom and grandma were from Butte. The pasties here are different than a Butte pasty - the crust Is different - but they are still very good. Service is fun and personal - we've had our server recite poetry which was awesome! Fun place to go! read more

Came here with 4 people and the service was amazing. Funny, nice waitresses and good drinks. Each of us loved our food. Really recommend this place to anybody passing through. Really phenomenal. read more

Service was good despite it being busy and one waitress serving all tables. The food was better than average.

Full disclosure, I eat NSNG (no sugar, no grains). This limits my meal selection, but I try not to judge a restaurant by their menu but by their service and ability to be flexible to my diet. The only thing on the menu that really worked for my diet was the Corn Beef and Hash, which was super salty. The steak bites were good, but I had to peal the breading off. I ordered their minestrone soup and it was very sugary. They had a great whiskey selection which I appreciate. Their service was fast, but not very friendly. I would love to see the wait staff smile more and some gluten free or sugarless options on their menu. read more

Love Love Love the upstairs area of this restaurant/bar! Have eaten there twice now, food was just Ok the first time (ordered safe). Second time my father, kids, and myself all thoroughly enjoyed our food. The chairs and atmosphere were so cozy we stayed for quiet a while. Seats are big and cushy, plus there is a fireplace! May just be the most comfortable place I've eaten besides someones home. read more

The food is good, love the calamari! Friendly and attentive service, we like to visit here often.
