John the bartender was super nice. We were there to play pool but the lighting is really bad. We suggest the hanging overhead light be moved a foot or so to center the table and lowered for better lighting. We met nice people and did have fun. read more

My wife and I went downtown for some bar hopping, and this was one of our stops. We had such a great time that we even came back for our last drink of the night (Naddy 3$). The bartender was fun, and the other customers were laid-back and friendly. I'd definitely return in the future! read more

Bouncer was extremely rude. Almost denied my REAL ID out of the 5 people in my group and wouldn't tell me why. I had to prove my age by showing my birthday on Facebook (ridiculous) and she had an attitude the whole time. Save yourself a trip and go somewhere with nice staff, not a place that questions your ID when they don't even have a scanner. Never coming back. read more

Great pub. Big BILLS fans! Great food, atmosphere and service by all. We went back a second time!

The bar tenders are friendly and the drinks were tasty. They have three dart boards and a pool table.

Connellys is a little out of the way to get to, but worth a trip at least once. Food was good. Servers were friendly and the place has a nice Irish feel. read more

Love this place! Drinks are always great and well priced, service is top notch, and atmosphere is so fun and relaxed! read more

I spent a while trying to find a bar and this one was cool. The decor needs major help and the pool table is under a cold leaking vent but it's a cool place to drink. The bar tender (tho there only once a week) looks like Robert Pattinson and is super cool. read more

Kicked me out after one shot becuase i didn't tip when the bartender was rude. Told her i was getting 3 shots and would tip and got kicked after the first she called the bouncer and kicked me out instantly. read more

It's an Irish pub. The star system really doesn't work here. The beers on tap were limited but the bartender was phenomenal--even though he is a Braves fan (that hurt to type). Very casual and very fun. read more

This is the bartender that is a complete asshole. I asked him for water, and he said I was being rude for asking for water with ice. I actually found this photo from another person that had the same problem with this guy. He is very rude and should be fired. He gets mad over everything and has a smart ass attitude at the bar. Owner sees this I recommend you fire him as he will piss off a lot of your patrons. Also, your bouncer likes to slap drinks out of peoples hands, tall guy with blonde hair, has muscles, but no IQ* read more

Worst bar I have ever been to. The service from getting a drink, to the bitchy manager, to the bouncers randomly getting super aggressive and violent, stear clear of this bar. The only reason you should go here is if you are underaged which was most of the people in there. 0/10 experience read more

The older woman bartender didn't want to serve my group because she was on a power trip. Service overall was not a great experience.

They are super fun here. We walked to quit a few bars and some were so dull and stuffy. The bartenders are funny and helpful. Great music. Oh! And affordable. read more

This is basically the college kids hangout spot for Greenville. It has a casual vibe and the drinks are priced cheap + the music is good. A good place for a night out, but don't have your hopes too high as it is not too spectacular. Will return. read more

My buddy was a little tipsy and waiting for me to get him another drink. He did not see a sign that said "please don't stand here" not sure the reasoning behind the sign. Bartender starting screaming at him and called the tank tops (bouncers) to kick him out. Forced him to leave for a careless mistake without even letting him plead his case. I explained it to the bartender and still left a tip, but all he had to say was come back tomorrow. Won't be returning. Can understand having a rule but if you can't hear someone out especially when they were being respectful even after being screamed at you have issues. read more

Horrid, walked in on a Sunday afternoon about 5pm, was not greeted at all. Two gentlemen sitting together and one gentleman sitting by himself at the bar. The rest of the place was totally empty, the bartender yelled from the bar and asked if we wanted anything, I asked if we had to go the bar to order he stated yes, he couldn't leave the bar. Just a bad vibe from walking in that carried through our brief time there. We opted to find another option for our dining. read more

Drunk bartender took my phone from my hand and tossed it in a dishwasher and said "I don't read phones" as I showed him a notepad I wrote asking if he had seen any misplaced car keys. It was very loud and he couldn't hear me over the very busy bar! Thank god I had insurance on my phone because I had to replace it. My iPhone 13 Pro Max is a $1,000+ phone. One of the gentlemen running security was kind enough to retrieve my phone from the dishwasher for me. I am a bartender myself and I have never seen such a poorly run bar in an otherwise prominent location. If I had more resources, I would have filed a lawsuit from the unethical treatment of this establishment. This business is poorly run and highly unethical. Do not use your debit card as many of my friends have been overcharged. Much easier to dispute with a credit card! DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE! read more

Came here for trivia for the first time and loved it!! Tuesday trivia is so much fun with a variety of questions. Also they have great drinks and Irish pub food. Still not sure how I walked out after having a whiskey coke, a draft Allagash and half a loaded tater tot (which was big enough for a whole dinner) for less than $12. read more

I was discriminated against by the guy in the photo. I walked into the bar, never placed an order or anything and this man had me kicked out. I was not intoxicated and had barely been there for 5 mins. I don't know what sparked the issue or if he had me confused as someone else. I apologized for any confusion but he continue to have me removed. When I asked why he continued to ignore me. When the bouncer walked me out he admitted he didn't understand what was wrong and thought it was strange. I've been a patron at Connellys in Charlotte for years. This location in Greenville has a lot to be desired. This was the most rude and disrespectful behavior for no actual reason. It was unprofessional. I plan to file a suite against them for this one bartenders behavior. Go here at your own risk. There are plenty of other bars or restaurants that can provide better service in a good environment. read more

Connolly's Irish Pub - Pubs Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

this is going to be a very long read, but PLEASE help do what you can to get this around!!! i've been on the fence about posting this because i am not the type of person to do this, at all. i was waiting to see what kind of action was taken but the manager of Connelleys Irish Pub downtown greenville could care less about the $100 dollars they took from my account Saturday. BACKSTORY: Saturday night me, my boyfriend and a friend went to connelleys and got a couple of drinks, as we do quite often. me and my boyfriend closed out our tab with my card, which was $31.50. my boyfriend doesn't have a debit card right now, so anytime we go out, he sends me money and we use my card to pay the tab. with me being a server, i always have cash so we always tip in cash instead of on the card. as we did that night. sunday sometime around noon, im looking over our expenses from saturday night and logged into my account being negative $83 dollars. i immediately went to my transactions because what??? that just absolutely could not be right!! as the picture shows below, i have a transaction from connelleys for $31.50 which is correct yet is STILL PENDING. so it hasn't actually gone through, yet that was the actual correct charge. but what did go through, to cause a negative balance that high??? ANOTHER charge, down below, from the same place. but this time for $100 dollars.??? now where did that come from??? there's NO notification for it on my bank app to tell me a time stamp???? i call connelleys. no answer. i call again and still, no answer. i leave a message with my contact and the reason i was calling. never heard anything. so on tuesday, my day off, i go up there to talk to someone. seems to be only one bartender working so we ask to speak to the manager and SHEESH was that an experience. i told her what we spent, showed her the receipt for it (YES WE STILL HAD THE RECEIPT) and where it was on my transactions, then i pointed out the charge of $100. her response? she looked down at the receipt and back up to me and said "well thank you for not tipping" ...... "i don't know. that's strange" ???????? EXCUSE ME??? THAT is what you are concerned about?? disregarding the fact that i did in fact tip, VERY well at that. i said "we also paid in cash" and AGAIN, she responds with "yeah, that's what they all say" (with the attitude you would intend to have while saying that) i looked at my boyfriend, then back down at my phone and back up at her like '???' and she says " well there's nothing that we can do today. i'll have to get your information and give you a call tomorrow about getting a check out to you." so i wrote down my information, handed it to her and was on my way. today rolls around, i'm waiting for them to open just crossing my fingers that i will get a phone call about our conversation yesterday. nothing. come 7 o'clock, i call up there. not expecting to get an answer but some man answered. i asked for a manager working and he said at the moment he was the only one there and asked what the situation was. we discussed a couple things then he informed me that the manager (WENDY) would not be back until FRIDAY at 9. FRIDAY?? what happen to you figuring out what happened to the $100 dollars that was taken out of my account? and calling me back TODAY?? them taking that $100 dollars out of my account put me NEGATIVE $83 DOLLARS because i don't keep extra money in my account!! so even if i do get that $100 back, i'm NOT going to see it!! it's going to go straight towards my negative bill that THEY caused. and if for whatever reason i don't get it back??? i'm out almost $200 for NOTHING!!!! THE MANAGER IS NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT!!! COULD CARE LESS ABOUT IT!! read more

Connolly's Irish Pub - a screenshot of a cell phone - Pubs Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

Please take note before going to Connolly's Irish Bar!!! While in town for my best friend's wedding, my friends and I decided to go bar hoping. While doing so we can across Connolly's Irish Pub. We played darts, had some good laughs and drinks. After having a good time, we cashed out and decided to go visit another bar in DT Greenville. As we were leaving, one of my friends have MS, and the bouncer (security guard) told my friend he had to go because he fell. Once again he has MS. He can't use his right hand as normal and walks with a limp. He was experiencing a flair up so it is worst than normal, but he was still able to hang out. I told the bounce, we were leaving anyway and that my friend has MS and is not drunk. The bouncer told me he didn't care. After exiting the establishment I told the the bouncer at the door that they need to tell the manager what took place because that is not right and highly inappropriate. The bouncer agreed. While outside I saw my friend being thrown to the ground and hit by the bouncer inside. I went inside to calm the situation down and I was punched in the face by a bouncer and thrown to the ground. I did not engage with the bouncers yet I was hit and beaten by them. They ripped my clothes and made me bleed then dragged me out by my collar. My friend who was defenceless due to his MS also had ripped clothes and was dragging out. I'm not sure why they decided to take such hostile actions, but it was unnessacry and highly unprofessional. I am beyond frustrated and upset. I called the local PD and they even agreed with us. This is not over, but beware of this place. The drinks were good, but not worth the trouble. I never been somewhere where they disregard someone's medical conditions like this. I hope their mother is happy with their children's behaviour. If they go to prison, I hope they rot! I reported them and I have filed a police report. Beware before you go. If I could give them zero stars, I would. I could say so much more, but I will reframe due to the litigation. Shame on them... read more

We've been going here for years. The bartender named Wendy is a total jerk to say the least. She sprayed water all over my girlfriend who was standing behind the line and patiently waiting during the New Years Eve rush and then kicked her out in the freezing cold. I cannot hate this place anymore if I tried. Never come here. Ever. read more

If I could leave negative stars I would. As I was leaving the bar on 2/3 the bouncer threw a drink in my face from the person leaving in front of me. I was the sober driver for my friends and I was unable to drive due to the alcohol thrown in my face by Zack the bouncer making my contact lenses useless. I did not know this person leaving in front of me- I had no drink in my hand as I was the sober driver of my crew. I hope Connolly's takes this into consideration when hiring bouncers in the future. Maybe hire someone that doesn't throw drinks in peoples faces as they are leaving the bar. read more

Let's face it, this place was never a 5-star destination, but it's definitely gone down hill over the years. It used to be an Irish "man and his dog" kind of pub, but lately, it's become more of a "barely legal" bro bar. A place you might expect to encounter in a college town, except even the college bars I remember had a better atmosphere than here. We came here late night to enjoy a nightcap while in Greenville over the holidays (so I can't speak for the food). The bartender literally yelled "money" at us after preparing our drinks, instead of presenting us with a bill or politely asking if we'd like to start a tab. It wasn't especially crowded, but frankly that sort of attitude is unacceptable even on a busy night. Our whiskey sodas were primarily soda, so if you must visit this place, I recommend only ordering beers. Overall, the music was terrible and the vibe was drab and obnoxious. I never thought I'd say this, but I kind of miss the old Connolly's Irish Pub. At least then, you could enjoy a decent drink in a place with some semblance of character. read more

On this past Sunday night, the bartender CHARGED MY SON'S CARD AFTER HE LEFT. Not once, but THREE TIMES. Yes. The police will be visiting them, as we will be pressing charges for theft. read more

If I had to imagine what heaven will be like, this is it. This is the only place you need to go to in Greenville, or even America. Friendly and helpful staff. Great drinks, better prices. Didn't eat the food, but I would assume it's amazing as well. I will be back as soon as possible. read more

Don't waste your time here. Bar staff sort of acts like "how dare you disrupt me" even though there were only a handful of other patrons when we walked in. Bouncer is obnoxious and in your face for seemingly no reason other than boredom and simple mindedness. It's hard to judge anything this bar has to offer because their terrible staff make this place a nightmare. I would give negative stars if I could. I travel to this city quite a bit for work. There are a lot of pretty cool bars in Greenville and this definitely isn't one of them. They will not receive my business again. read more

Excellent place great location and wait staff are fun. Regulars make the pub a good time

Read a lot of reviews; and people don't seem to realize that there is a $10 minimum on credit cards, and walk outs get charged 20% gratuity. So if you show up and buy one $3.50 drink on your card, and then leave, the bar will charge you $10 (per the minimum) and then add $2 tip (20% gratuity). Or you can go and NOT read the signs stating this, and then complain on Yelp about it because you are a victim. read more

BAD BAR! I was with a group of people last night (I was the DD) and several people in my group walked in obviously already intoxicated and with out a blink of an eye continued to serve these people, not just one drink but at least 10+ more. And it's not like they were a crowded bar or that they were getting others to buy drinks for them, these folks were hanging out around the bartenders. And to top it off the bartenders didn't give the option to sign the tabs so you could see how much was being charged or spent and the next day we found out that the bartenders were skimming money from the cards and stealing card numbers. I've read several reviews of other having the same issues with they're credit cards. My friends were there celebrating the life of their mother who just passed away and this bar took obvious advantage read more

It was great. The dart board was a plus while we waited for food. Friendly wait staff and reasonable prices

Dear Connollys, I want to thank you for keeping my Louis Vuitton Purse safe. I left the bar without it last night and woke up in a panic. I drove down to the bar in the morning and the nice man cleaning the place let me in and retrieved it for me. This purse has a lot of sentimental value as my college age kids that attend Furman University gave me this bag as a Mother's Day gift many years ago. As it is a very expensive bag, you also saved my life as my husband would have killed me if It wasn't there. I think the bartenders name was John... thank you John for keeping my bag in a safe place. Give this man a raise!! Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! read more

First weekend down in Greenville, my friends and I stopped by after going to a few other bars. We stayed for the rest of the night. Darts, pool, and the people there were all fun. Bartenders are extremely nice as well. read more

We just got here and my friend tried to buy a drink with her gift card that had $36 on it and he ripped it up and threw it and shooed her away. Absolutely disgusting. He was manning the cash register. Ladies be careful because he obviously doesn't respect us. It wasn't until her boyfriend went up to him that he decided to give them a new gift card. Rude af. read more

June 2018- just arrived into town and we were hungry. It was lunch time and the restaurants were getting crowded. Stopped in two before getting to Connolly's Irish Pub. Found a seat at the bar and ordered Fish (cod) & Chips...and a couple of beers of course.. Fish was not soggy and fries were crispy how we like them. Delicious!! Music was nice and not too loud. The bartender very friendly and was full of conversation. Gave us a few tips on where to stroll. Though there are quite a few places in town, we would put this on the top three to stop at when in area. read more

Awful experience. Im a first time customer snd was standing in an area that I was unaware was not available to place an order at. The bartender (glasses and long hair) then yelled at me rudely to move, called me stupid, and cursed at me. Would not recommend to anyone coming here for the first time read more

This place is definitely a pub. We went to enjoy music (Keltic Rock band named "Dirty Micks") Had a tremendous steak salad, highly recommended. read more

This a huge fairly divey bar off Main Street. We popped in for a beverage and we were literally the only customers. On the upside service was great! Stayed for a quick one and left. read more
