Upselling your screwdriver by $14 for a premuim (Kettle one) is ridiculous for two drinks, really? Your $6 screwdriver special is not upgradable? Charging us $26 was a fkn joke. We actually like the establishment but fk that... You are lucky we are good patrons and still tipped but just want others to know that's a pretty fkd up thing to do to your customers. read more

As a local of seal beach and a restaurant owner myself...PLUS have eaten at Hennessey plenty of times. I was on a walk today with my niece I asked the bartender working today at 9am if I could use the bathroom to wash our hands. She said no it's for customers which I completly understand. However I'm no transient...I have a baby with me. I could have have just walked straight in and not been polite to kindly ask before use. For this reason I will no longer step foot in there and give this establishment any of my money and I will let all of my friends and families know they have such strict rules upon using the loo. Even for regulars. This Bartender needs to learn how to have some compassion and recognize when needed to actually tell someone no. read more

Food was delicious and the atmosphere was pretty "Irish Pub" ish. However the service was a little bit slow. Great dinner overall! read more

Stop in on Friday to get the brisket burger that was advertised on the sidewalk. Service was slow after we got sat. We ordered the brisket burger and a citrus salad. I was told they weren't offering the brisket burger since they had limited cooks. I selected the brisket sandwich as a substitute. The brisket was dry and bland. It was like in was sitting under the heat lamp all day. Told are server and her response " I'll let them know" No offer of compensation or another item. On the other hand the salad was good. Overall the service was poor. They weren't that busy. read more

We were waiting exactly an hour for our food to come and we only ordered 2 sandwiches and my husband was talking to the people sitting behind us and they have also been waiting for their food the entire time! Once the 60 mins was up we just walked out because that's ridiculous the waiters need to be switched out ! And the place needs better management read more

Overall a nice lunch. We ordered the Chicken Cobb salad and Brisket sandwich. The salad was good, portion size filling and reasonably priced. The brisket sandwich was also good, but needed more of the bbq sauce. A request for a side of the sauce was made, but the waitress never brought it. The sweet potato fries were good, we both enjoyed them. The service was ok, definitely could have been better. As I mentioned, we never got the side of bbq sauce we requested and our drinks were not refilled. read more

If you are black our brown ect. Don't waist your money here. We were refused an empty table that we wanted but denied. The reason stated was that it was for larger parties. We get that but saw parties of two on the same size table. Adios for ever!! read more

Came in for a couple of drinks, the bartender was spot on never really had to flag him down for a drink refill. Did not try the food so my review is strictly based on drinks, service and restrooms. Restrooms need work. read more

Bartender was rude. We came by Tues May 9th 9:10am to see if they had reopened since the mini remodel. We wanted to patronize our favorite place for breakfast. So we pulled up at 10 mins after 9 and the door way closed but we seen 3 girls inside and all the tables were set up. So we decided to ask if they were open before walking down to Crema Cafe. When we asked the rude female behind the bar said "If we were open the door would obviously be unlocked" There was three girls working. A sweet blonde, a blued eyed brunette and the beast behind the bar. If it was not for the kindness and embarrassed blue-eyed girl we would have left. The owners work hard to get people to come there and the dunce almost ruined it. FYI. If you don't like your job stay home. Thanks to the other ladies for stepping up. read more

Love this place. Location, staff, and good Irish Coffee. Two timing Tuesday is great on the wallet, especially these days! Wish I lived in Seal Beach! read more

They hustle & they're nice. What more can you ask? Uuh,... lower prices would be nice, but they are paying Seal Beach rent, so it's understandable. The food is delicious & the portions are huge. I've never had a bad experience and the other customers (a fun & diverse crowd) all appear to be having a good time & getting good service. I hope that's true. I like that there is room to dance, when the opportunity arises. They have a good/fun schedule of things to do, I just wish some of those things happened earlier in the evening because I have to get up at 6am. Sigh. read more

Usually a great local spot with lovely lively people working, the wife and I got there at 9am right when they opened and spoke with Diana, which told us it would be 5 min, we told her of course we aren't In a rush we can wait. After a couple seconds another lady came over and told it would be 10 min. (Note we are with our 2 kids under 2 years old. And there was a painter at the entrance where we barely got by to get in, In stead of accommodating us and have us seat and just wait which we were okay with, they asked us to leave. Just poor service. I hope they do better next time. My suggestion would be have better self awareness. We would have happy to wait. read more

Well...after an hour and 45 mins we experienced the following: 1. Understaffed with overwhelmed cooks and servers 2. Server who couldn't muster a smile the entire visit 3. Watched 3 large tables (who arrived after us) order their food, eat their food and pay the tab before we were served our meals 4. Finally received our meal (1 hr 10 mins after we ordered) to find that my poached eggs were raw (so much so that I was forced to send them back). And my husband's over medium eggs arrived as scrambled eggs 5. Lastly (and my favorite) watched the uppity Manager Lady made eye contact with me several times (knowing how badly they screwed) but did not walk over to apologize or make any sort of attempt to rectify the situation 6. Final result: our waitress apolpgozed and comped us for a round of drinks (at my persuasion). We absolutely will not be returning. read more

Nothing much to tell. Nice place in Seal Beach with mediocre service, mediocre food, and prices that don't match what you get. The inside is nicely decorated, and I can see how this place is ideal for a big group or a big game. But for the same prices and better experience, I prefer 320 Main across the street. read more

The beef brisket sandwich I had last night was literally the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. Not exaggerating 1 bit. I got mine with sweet potato fries. Tbh the fries could have been crispier. The sandwich was out of this world tho. I'm salivating right now just thinking about it. Rocked my taste buds to the core Hennessey's. read more

The service here is amazing. The drinks are strong. The food is delicious. I love coming here and meeting up with friends.

Many times have I walked the area with a morning coffee, and never have I entered Hennessey's Tavern until today. I must begin with the old fashioned!!! Not many places know how to make a good old fashioned but this place definitely tops it!!! Michael is a new server, and I must also say he has a natural personable customer service. He is ready to remove his training wheels. The ambient was also amazing with the reggae/rock music they had. Price definitely amazed me as I only paid $65 for an old fashioned, a margarita for my lovable girlfriend, calamari, fries sampler, & a burger... $65!!! Just wow!!! The food is amazing, and I definitely recommend the calamari & Irish Burger!!! read more

Friends and I decided to come here after the dine in lockdown was lifted in OC. This was after 2 months of only being able to order takeout or delivery and let me tell you it definitely was a refreshing experience to finally be able to sit in and eat at a place! Of course, social distancing and mask are required to be worn for seating and moving about in the place itself. Hennessy's Tavern has an outdoor patio area where you can sit and enjoy some good food. If you like to drink it's definitely a nice place to grab a drink ( I don't drink) but my friends do and it was nice for them to get a chilled cold beer. They did have a limited menu however there was still plenty of selection for your palette. Appetizers, burgers, salads, and sandwiches. They had an awesome 2 for 1 on burgers so my best friend and her boyfriend got that deal and so did I with my other buddy. I ordered the Swiss Mushroom burger and it was delicious. I rarely eat burgers but once in awhile I like to enjoy a nice juicy one. I ordered mine medium rare, it was cooked exactly to my liking. I ate my burger with a side of jalapeños because I like my food with an added spicy kick to it. Highly recommend this place when you are hanging out in Seal Beach. read more

I love coming here on Thursdays for their once-$6 burger special. While the price has recently gone up to $7, it's still a fantastic deal and definitely worth it for the quality. read more

Great place for Happy Hour! $7 Greyhounds with fresh grapefruit juice are amazing. Excellent nachos!

The service was lacking. We went in around noon today and were seated immediately. There were plenty of empty tables and seats around the restaurant. However, we waited quite a bit longer than expected while the staff passed by our table multiple times (serving others in the process or chatting amongst themselves). After some time, we decided it was best to find another place to eat and as we got up, another staff member asked if we had been served but we decided that it was too late at this point. read more

We went on Thursday just to waste time before we need to attend a conference. Michael Brown our server is so gracious to suggest what is good & their specialty. It's worth it & we enjoy it. When you go to Hennessey's just ask for Michael. read more

Our waitress was super friendly and so patient while we try to decide what to order. We ended up ordering the corn beef and hash with eggs over easy and the breakfast with sausage. I've always love their sausage here because it's a rich kielbasa. Definitely a great place for a Sunday morning brunch read more

I enjoyed my morning California Benedict meal here along with stunning World Cup 2022 vibes. Been watching Argentina VS Australia on their multiple screens, and I didn't like the result of the match, but I definitely liked the place :) read more

Came to eat and was so lost upon walking in. Parking can be a headache especially during the weekend so be prepared. Once you walk in you seat yourself and there's QR codes for menus or they'll physically bring you one which ever you prefer. We ordered burgers and calamari. Just an average burger kinda over priced 16 bucks for a burger and fries. Service was ok. We had to chase down our waitress for refills and the appetizer came at the same time as our burgers. Seem like a chill place to get drinks just not for food read more

I'm giving this place a bad review. I've never been blatantly racially discriminated against until tonight by the bartender named Ginger. She was outright dismissive, prejudice and rude. I was out celebrating St. Patrick's day with my partner and cousin and this experience ruined our evening. It left me with a really bad feeling. We are never going back to this establishment. My hard earned money can be spent elsewhere. read more

Never again. Food was unseasoned and wasn't too good. Server was dull and seemed like he had limited dialogue or something. Only good thing was the woman to welcomed us but overall wouldn't come again. DO NOT GET THE SPICY FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH!! Taste horrible and wasted $17 from that. They should discontinue that read more

Been to this restaurant about 4 times, still don't like it. Service is really terrible. Sit at the bar it's much faster. It's super loud with a lot of beer drinkers talking so they're deaf. Went 8/5/23 ordered fish and chips. Waiter said they use fresh fish, fantastic, he didn't tell me the batter is uncooked yes uncooked. Fish on the plate looks golden, but once you take a bite the inside batter is thick, wet, gooey really bad and so disappointed. read more

Mediocre food at best. We ordered a BLTA and Frisco Burger with Garlic Parmesan fries (was told the fries were great). The BLT was okay with way too much lettuce. I've had better Frisco burgers at Greek Hamburger places. The Fries we undercooked(wiggly). I expected better from a nice place near the beach. read more

If you enjoy extremely slow service, this place is for you! My lord the servers just walk right past you. Once you do order a drink be prepared to wait 10 minutes! The last two times I've been there, the same result. You won't get a 3rd chance! Better options on Main Street! read more

I don't usually review a place I didn't end up eating at, but the service here and dishonest advertising were so egregious that I felt compelled to write a review. In short, they advertised both happy hour and game day specials all over the place and refused to honor any of them, despite the day and time being correct for both. We also sat on the patio for 20 minutes before being visited by a waiter, despite having been told by the waiter who first greeted us that it was fine to sit at a table on the heated patio. We only got a waiter to come by when we finally went inside to directly ask for attention. And yes, we were perfectly visible from inside because of the windows. And I had gone inside within the first few minutes to ask for menus, so the main waitress absolutely knew that we were there. As more explanation, my friend and I came by around 5:30pm on a Sunday. The sign on the door said that happy hour was every day from 4-7pm. Yes, every day. Additionally, there were flyers all around the patio saying that appetizers were half off on game days, including Sunday (and it explicitly said Sunday - ie, the day we visited.) As this was January, a football game was playing on all of the screens. Obviously, game day. However, once we finally asked for (practically begged for) the attention of a waitress, she told us that the game day flyers were outdated and that the happy hour sign was also incorrect and that we shouldn't have expected happy hour on a Sunday. We had picked this place explicitly because it DID indicate it had happy hour AND game day specials on Sunday. We were only expecting what was explicitly advertised! The waitress who had ignored us in the first place clearly had no desire to retain us as patrons and/or the restaurant itself doesn't care about honesty, and either situation is a big red flag. It would have been one thing if it was, well, just one thing that went wrong. But (1) to be ignored for 20 minutes after being seated by a waiter, when not all of the tables were full (the patio was empty), (2) to realize that the advertised HH prices were a lie, and (3) to learn that the game day prices were ALSO a lie....that's just unacceptable and horrendous customer service. (And yes, I've worked in customer service and the food industry.) We left at that point and went half a block down to Avila's Mexican restaurant, which was fabulous, friendly, and actually worth our money, despite not having happy hour. AND they didn't try to lure people in with multiple attempts at false advertising, unlike Hennessey's. I'm giving 2 stars as benefit of the doubt in case that waitress really was the cause of all the problems and decided to make up her own rules...but I have a hard time believing that. read more

Hennessey's Grill - DON'T BE FOOLED. There's NO happy hour on weekends, despite signs saying every day. No game day specials, either, despite signs saying so. - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Seal Beach, California

Zero stars to give! We got turned away because there was only 2 people in our party, and only four top table.. lots of four top tables. The place was not busy at all and thought the guy was kidding, but he said "what, I don't make the rules" I'm still dumbfounded by it! read more

Burgers are amazing! Service is ok. Not bad, not great. You kinda have to call the waiters when you need something. They don't really check up on you. Ambiance is nice. They should clarify that the kitchen is not open till 1 am, as the business hours say. read more

I'm a big believer that service is important today. A friend and I went to have a bite to eat Deanna E. Was our server we split our BLT because we both had surgery and were just having a girls' day out she never smiled, asked if we needed anything things else there was another 2 women sitting behind us that said the same thing she was rude to them they left and didn't pay their bill I don't agree with that but they waited for her to come over and give them the bill. She then made a big deal that they didn't pay, but they got up to get her and were speaking to us, and she never came over. When she took our order, she went over to the bar and threw the menus. Her attitude was awful. I'm sorry I couldn't eat a whole sandwich. We paid our bill and left. I have been here before, and the service was amazing. I hope she sees this, and next time, she doesn't judge someone just because they split a meal. read more
