Finally came back to try their Guinness pie with friends on a Saturday night. The diced veggies and beef immersing in creamy gravy and the crispy puff crust created a contrasting tasting effect. It was very good! Part of the food specials at Fibbar, it was of a great value. Pinot tasted mellow and light on alcohol. I felt ok even though I don't usually drink. Service was even better than last time. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and easy-going. Overall staff were very nice and polite. The vibe was cozy and festive with St. Patrick's celebratory decorations. Loved it! I enjoyed my time at Fibbar MaGees. Highly recommend it! read more

Food is solid and well priced, I think they're understaffed though - it took way too long to receive drinks/water

Been here before it's been years. Tried the saint Patrick's day menu everything was good. Fish and chips are tasty and the stew is a tomato based broth that comes with bread. Went well with a pint. Nice decorations for saint Patrick's day and it got full very fast. I like they use the tablet for payment. Overall, good pub! Staff are friendly and everyone was having fun. They have a good outdoor seating area. read more

Came here with a friend to watch some games and it was totally packed! We were fortunate enough that someone flagged us down to give us their seats. Once we were seated, the servers were extremely friendly and attentive. We ordered wine, mozzarella sticks, shepherd's pie, and fish and chips. Overall, the portions were sizable and quite good. The place was absolutely buzzing from the excitement of the game but I wouldn't mind coming back another time for some casual drinks! read more

Terrible. Ribeye was 1/4 think. Like a breakfast steak. Service was terrible. No checking o. Us . No water. Food was served before utensils arrived Ambiance was lovely read more

Juliette the most racist bar attendee. Refused to serve me because of my Ukrainian accent, and added that Ukraine deserves it. Not a single time in past 10 years had I encountered such a discrimination. I'm simply speechless. read more

Taste is great! Delay in service is killing! Noise level is pretty high! Great understanding staff! read more

Nice Irish decor and big screen TV for sports lovers, this Irish bar was relatively empty, sadly and no idea why. Ordered a glass of Guinness, a mimosa, a shepherd's bar, a margarita pizza and a chicken curry. The chicken curry sauce is the best, sweet but filled with the curry spice. The pizza is freshly made and was told to wait for 30 minutes, yet it was the first to come out. All good are good, I'm slightly shocked seeing how much oil was inside the shepherd's pie though.... Service was nice and sweet, the bar lazy tended to us and checked in us a few times. read more

3.5 rounded up - Comfort Irish cuisine and generally served in hearty portions in a traditional Irish-American atmosphere. A few salad options are available and are pretty good, heart-healthy options. My favorite aspects of this restaurant - 1. the servers are personable and super friendly 2. the daily specials - really good value 3. fresh made potato chips served with a side of ranch 4. the restaurant turns into a club with a small dance floor on Friday/Saturday - so if you're eating late past 10 pm, the music may interfere with the group conversation dynamics. Food at reg prices - meh Food at daily special prices - yeah! Bulking and looking for calories - yep Add a little dancing at 10pm before heading home? Excellent! read more

Food is top quality. Huge screens. Your food and drinks are served quickly. Mag (don't forget her) the waitress she's been here a while but to perfection watching her remember everyone. I know restaurant business and this is top quality and fresh diced in front of you. Food is cooked in the back where you can see. Daily happy hour. Even burgers $4-$5 off. Drinks like $8-9 beers. Unbeatable in Sunnyvale. I know what's good and okay. Being a reviewer. Try this place even during a game time. You'll get everything you ordered in time. read more

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this pub since I've been coming loads of times either alone or with friends to take advantage of their daily specials - awesome food at the best prices! They have the best fish & chips in town, promise. That's like my gf's go to order when she's here. This is also a great pub to watch sports, like this was literally my goto place for the World Cup matches. read more

This place has many things going for it. 1. The have the NFL SUNDAY TICKET, so you can enjoy your favorite game here at Fibbar McGees. So many so called "Sports Bars" like St Stephen's Green on Castro Street MV dropped it because it's so expensive. 2. Large selection of Irish favorites 3. Start with the Shephard's Pie, it's excellent. Beef slow cooked with vegetables in a beef burgundy wine sauce topped with fluffy mash potatoes and cheddar cheese 4. Servers are great 5. Bathroom is very clean 6. Great decor, a very clean establishment. Really impressed wuith the Men's Room. Very clean throughout. 7. The downer is the owner is a die hard Patriots Fan....(just kidding) read more

This was my first ever experience at an Irish Pub and it was such a unique but fun experience. We were honoring and celebrating my past co-worker (fun fact: she's Scottish) going back to Scotland so we went to one of her favorite pubs in the Bay Area. We were a huge group of 10+ people and the staff were amazing at accommodating our requests so shout out to the amazing staff! We sat outside in front of the entrance which felt nice since it was a warm day. I ordered a Midori Sour which was delicious and shared an appetizer sampler, which came with jalapeño poppers, sweet potato fries, and chicken tenders (tenders not pictured). My only complaint was that the tenders were a little dry for my taste but it was great as drunk munchies haha Overall, I would definitely recommend this place to friends looking for a fun place to socialize and get fun drinks. read more

The security guard denied me entry for unknown reasons. I handed him my ID and offered to provide my passport, but I was still denied entry. The guard said, "I don't have to explain myself to you." He mentioned having issues with my driver's license, and I told him I could show him my passport instead. He smirked and repeated that he didn't need to explain himself. He also questioned how old I was to be wanting to enter the place. I asked if the issue was personal, and he again said he didn't have to answer me. I continued to try to clear the air, in case there was any hostility or misunderstanding, but he said he had spoken to the owner and that the owner supported his decision to deny me entry. The interaction left me wondering if it was racially motivated, as I couldn't identify any other reason for being refused entry. If that assumption seems far-fetched, I do have video footage to support this "awkward" interaction. read more

This was our second visit to this restaurant. Our first visit was back in 2021 when only outdoor seating was available and we don't really remember it being a good experience hence why we didn't go back for years. However, a co-worker recommend this placen to me recently so we thought we would try it again. Our experience was much better this time. First, I would like to say our waitress was great she was attentive and very pleasant even though it was a very busy Saturday night when we came in. We ordered the Garlic Cheese Bites for an appetizer which I really loved! So delicious! And because it was Pie night on the specials menu we both got pies. My husband got the steak guinness pie and I got the chicken and mushroom pie. My husband said he liked the steak pie. I liked the chicken and mushroom pie. However, keep in mind that the chicken and mushroom pie has dark meat in it in case you don't like dark meat. We both agreed that the pastry crust was buttery and flaky and the gravies inside were savory and tasty. We will definitely be back to try some of the.other specials and regular menu items. They have definitely improved since the pandemic! read more

Went in as a party of 4 at 7pm on a Friday. Waited for 5 minutes without even being greeted. Shame, looked like a fun place.

I took a large group of friends here as a crashing spot for after a party. I had been the weekend before to check it out and met the manager Evelyn, she is absolutely lovely and reserved a spot for me and my friends for free! While we were there she checked in multiple times to make sure we were doing well and even brought us over light up party sticks! Aside from the bar scene the food there is also phenomenal and the staff is amazing. 10/10 experience every time read more

Came to this bar 2x as I was working up in Sunnyvale. I'm not sure what's up with the three stars, but it's definitely more than that. The curry fries are ti die for ! The place is nice and the bartenders are awesome. They have an amazing selection of beer on tap. Shepherds pie is decent as well. If I'm ever around the area, I will definitely return to this location. I will definitely check it out if your around the area. read more

Chalk this one up for nostalgia!!! Over 15 years ago, we loved to grab a beer and some delectable bites, almost as a ritual , every Friday evening. Well, we relived our memories and not without a few wistful sighs and some welling of the eyes! Boy, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit! I had a lager while the better half took her standard glass of Guinness Stout and we shared the sampler plate and the fish and chips. Note : Here is where I learnt about and fell in love with steak fries! It was good ! The vibe is still there and though we missed our old wait staff and servers we found the present lot just as welcoming and friendly. You should also visit and enjoy the bar food they serve here with a dash of friendliness. read more

Would not recommend eating alone here, too hectic and bar seating has people constantly moving around you. Reasonable prices.

Always a great spot to stop in and have a drink or a quick bite! Service is quick and it's not too loud in the afternoons. On the weekends they have a DJ which can be fun for late night! read more

Very bad service and bad manger attitude he kicked me out because I have bottle of water with me I don't recommend any one to be there

Fibbar MaGees Irish Pub Sunnyvale CA Sat 11/19/22 © Is it too early for Bulleit Rye Boulevardier or Screwball Old Fashioned, on a late Saturday morning/afternoon? Got champagne? Yep, that's what happens on Saturday before Thanksgiving on a random stop at an Irish pub... leek soup and Chandon! And a hearty Irish breakfast, of course! POTATO LEEK, their house soup! Served in a cup or a bowl with Irish Brown Bread and pats of butter. I had to make it a bowl for just a 3 bucks more than a cup, and it stays hot longer, right? The more goodness, the merrier! IRISH BREAKFAST is hearty and scrumptious platter with one sausage, 3 Rashers, 3 Black and 3 White pudding, sautéed mushrooms, grilled tomato, 2 eggs any way you want them, beans, and two slices of brown bread with butter. Sunny side up for me! Takes some time so be patient! You'll be happy when served, trust me! Murphy Avenue in downtown Sunnyvale is vibrant! It's been renovated before the pandemic hit and many new spots popped up on and around the area, so your choices are plenty. This is a classic Irish Pub not to be overlooked. Outside terrace upfront and even a couple of sturdy round wooden barrel tables in the back towards the parking, to handle the overflow perhaps? Check them out if you're in the area on a weekend night, they're open late! Is maith liom Uisce Beatha! (iss-mah-lum ishka-baha) I love whiskey! Bulleit Rye Boulevardier or Screwball Old Fashioned would've been my choice after 5 o'clock LOL but common sense prevailed on a sunny summery Saturday and I went with Chandon! Cheers! *Pour out some Bulleit and pull it straight to the brain I didn't know this morning that it would be one of those days I said I wouldn't go forgetting my name I know I shouldn't But I can't help but try and wash it all away!

It's not only an Irish bar, but a great place to eat, meet up with friends, community meeting place. They have tons of events, activities, daily specials at very reasonable prices. Bring the family for cheap eats before 10:00 pm Mon -Thurs. When this was written 50% off Irish whiskey Wednesdays!! I got a pour of a 21 yr for a crazy cheap price!! Deal!! Trivia nights, Music Vids, buzzing, vibing place with great drinks, great food, and geat staff. Bartenders are also easy on the eyes and super nice.....both women & men. Ashley is the best!! I am a fan! read more

Cute downtown Sunnyvale area. The street is pedestrian only so there are plenty of spots to enjoy patio dining. Food is delicious. The lamb in the Guinness Irish Stew is tender. The sauce is scrumptious. And don't get me started on the bread... baked fresh daily onsite! Service was very slow on a Sunday despite being empty around 7:30 pm. Know what you want to eat & drink and order all at once to avoid having to flag someone down. I tried the table buzzer several times but nothing happened. Parking lot behind the restaurants. read more

They finally have a solid MC for Tuesday trivia nights, but have now decided to charge to play. Isn't the point of a trivia night to get people in to the establishment so that they then patronize it? That's how you pay... you pay them. The food isn't good enough to warrant going there without trivia. Why would I pay $10 to lose to the DNA-holes? (No offense to them, but seriously it's not competitive in who wins). Missy is still around as a server and still deserves praise. But paying to lose (or even win) at trivia whilst also paying for mediocre food and drinks just seems like a less than stellar proposition. I guess this will finally be my last update for Fibbar's, it was as decent run while it lasted. read more

Been here many times but somehow never wrote a review. My favorite is Kilkenny on draft, something I'm surprised I only tried earlier this year. It's creamy, "smooth and light on its feet" (as Joe Montana said in the Guinness commercial) but less dry than a stout. Great place to watch the Sunday NFL games indoor or in the covered patio, with lots of TVs and sound on (or just good music videos if there's no sports). The daily dinner specials are also pretty amazing value. Bar staff is friendly and attentive even if you're the only one sitting in the back patio. And after the recent renovations, the place has modernized the restrooms and kitchen, while maintaining the overall charm, wooden warmth, and character of the place. My surprise favorite was the potato leek soup - perfect on a cold afternoon. read more

Fun place to stop by on a weekend evening. My husband got a beer and a shot of whiskey and I got a cider (blueberry cosmic crisp). The bartenders were friendly and quick in getting us our drinks. The vibe was lively but not so much that we couldn't hear each other. Around 10 they put on colorful lights overhead and there were music video mashups playing on the big screens, plus more lights and a disco ball going toward the back on the dance floor. We will definitely be back! read more

Fibb's is alright. I work nearby, and Fibb's is my office's go-to for grabbing a drink and fried food after a long day. They do the basics well - a decent selection of beers on tap (I've seen Pliny here a few times!), ample outdoor seating, a nice selection of daily specials. The food is nothing memorable, mostly pub food, Irish dishes, and lots of appetizers that go well with a drink. My go-to is a plate of fried pickles, which come as spears instead of coin-sized chips, which I've grown to enjoy! Service is really on-or-off, and maybe my biggest gripe with this place. Sometimes the food takes a while to come out and the wait staff is not always the most attentive. If you decide on Fibbar Magee's, don't expect a gourmet experience with artisanal quality food - it's an Irish pub, simple as that. Nonetheless, I'll probably be back in the next few weeks with my coworkers. read more

Fibbar MaGees - 02-20-2021 Fried Pickles and the Space Dust IPA - Irish Pub Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

So I've been to this place many times for HH and drinks because I used to work in the Mountain View/Sunnyvale, great atmosphere, great drinks, great service. They even have Yellow Spot! Which I had a month or two ago while I was in Dublin, Ireland! So let's get down to it. The food.... it didn't look so hot, when I saw the burgers and philly cheesesteak, both look super dry. But damn they smell like they make an awesome steak! Smelled so good! So since I've been to Dublin and absolutely love Irish stew, I decided to order it. $20 is pretty pricey for it, but it is CA. So with that in mind, I ordered it and it took 30 minutes or so to get there. Not sure what happened, but it seemed like the kitchen didn't cook it I finally got it, and it smelled good, meat was good, consistency was good. But the veggies had tasted like they had previously been frozen. I know what post frozen potatoes and veggies taste like and feel like because I've done it before. I will say the mash potatoes in the middle is nice touch. I know for a fact that it was previously frozen, but not the meat for some reason. Not sure I'd order that again from this place. read more

Fibbar MaGees - Nice touch with the mash potatoes on top of the Irish stew. But, frozen veggies. ouch. - Irish Pub Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Great pub and even a solid lunch spot - friendly hostess and good portions. Swung by for takeout and they had it ready 5 mins after opening!

Eh. Came here a few times now and probably won't come back unless with a group and I have to. Same experience both times. Came in, took forever to get noticed. Took forever to get what we ordered. Took so long we just ended up paying the bill and going somewhere else to eat. Truthfully I have not had a chance to eat here because the waitstaff has not given me a chance to order. Each time I would order a beer, it would take so long to get, by the time I got the second drink and tried to order the food, it was like the waitstaff either didn't care or just forgot about us, or whatever and we couldn't get anything to eat. Since this has now happened multiple times, I suppose this is just what to expect. Couldn't tell you about the food since I never got what I ordered and was never given the opportunity to order more. Cool theme and decent layout. Just too bad on the overall execution. Maybe others have had a better experience. read more

Came here to watch the Euro cup! We were really lucky to squeeze in and grab a small table at the last minute before the pub filled out. Service: 4/5 Considering the sheer amount of people in the pub, I think the service was great! The server came occasionally and checked in on us, but sometimes it was hard to grab ahold of the server. But I understand the circumstances, busy pub and probably understaffed. Presentation/Atmosphere: 4/5 This is an Irish pub. However, they have great TVs! But don't expect the cleanest bathrooms and best ambiance. It will be noisy and obviously not everything will be sparkling clean. Taste: 3/5 Honestly, my mac and cheese was really average. However, they made up for it with large quantity. The homemade chips were a delight! You can tell it is made in house and it shows. The beer was excellent, and I had a blast eating there while watching the British fans on the table next to us suffer a devastating loss in PK. Had a blast enjoying a few beers with the boys while rooting for Italia in this Irish pub. I probably will be back for another major sporting event! read more

Fibbars! My gosh I hadn't been here in 10-15 years or so. My old highschool friends and I came here for ol times sake 2 weekends ago and it was everything we'd hope it would be-- same food, 00s beats paired with our remembered ambience circa 2009. So grateful this place hasn't renovated or upgraded their tables to be honest. Weird comment I'm sure for those who aren't bay area natives but the charm of Fibbars is the coziness. I couldn't remember how the food was before (it's been too long) but I can confirm their pizza is great! Sandwich and potato skins are typical pub food. The food is maybe 3.5/5 but the service and vibes is 5 for sure. Can't wait to come back! read more
