Stopped by for a soccer game, it was busy but in the best way!! Even though it was busy, they found us a spot right away and everyone was well attended to. If you're looking to feel good energy during an exciting soccer game, I definitely recommend this place. There were two sections so if you're looking for less noise and energy, there's also a spot for you! read more

Went for happy hour, huge spot and very fun post renovation The fries were crispy golden to perfection, it was a cozy Friday night and it's located in a great spot. We ordered a Guinness and an allagash white. It got crowded around 6 and it accommodated every group no problems finding seats for walk ins. The hostess was sweet and I'm looking forward to coming back for st pattys and with another group of friends for sure! You should go for a drink or for a yummy pit stop :) read more

The food is bar food, no better no worse. The drinks are as good as you are willing to pay. The service is terrible. Last Thursday, August 27, I couldn't get service at a table while employees stood around in small groups doing nothing. When I complained to the manager, he ordered me to leave. No apology, no explanation. I have been bringing clients and friends to the Four Courts since 1998. The ambience was pleasant and the wait staff friendly. But in recent years, service has been going steadily downhill. The employees seem distracted and uncaring. I hope the management will take this review seriously. As a business owner myself, it is obvious that the bar's problems clearly lie with their middle management. [I did not catch the manager's name, but he is tall with a caterpillar mustache.] Best advice I can give: fire him. So, to my clients and friends, avoid Ireland's Four Courts. There are better places in Arlington where they value their customers. read more

Some friends and I were in town for a Capitals game. This is a large pub. We did not have any food here but had a few rounds of drinks. They have several Irish beers along with other options. The waitress was nice as well. My understanding is that they have a large crowd on Sunday mornings for soccer games which sounds like a good time! read more

Ireland's Four Courts - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

A few of us spontaneously stopped by on Black Friday evening after watching a late movie at the theater nearby. The exterior was decked out in holiday frills, and the freshly painted evergreen made it look incredibly festive. Inside, it looked like a typical pub, and it was packed, much to our surprise. We figured all the Arlington transplants had gone home for the holidays, but then again, the four of us aren't from the area either, so I guess that checks out haha. We were seated upon arrival at one of the high-tops near the bar. Ireland's Four Courts is known as one of the well-known local sports bar, and they had the UT vs. A&M football game playing on multiple screens. The crowd was really into it, and if that's what you're here for, it's definitely a vibe. We ordered some late-night snacks, and a couple of us grabbed drinks: PROSECCO - 12 The prosecco is from Lamberti, Italy -- no idea what that means for quality since I don't drink much. I thought it was OK to sip on here and there, nothing special. I wouldn't recommend chugging it. That was... not a good time. IRISH SAUSAGE ROLL - 12 Each order comes with two sausage rolls wrapped in a thick layer of puff pastry. Sadly, the pastry was incredibly soggy tasted far from fresh. It stuck to the sausage in a mushy way and wasn't even warm. Yucky. The sausage itself was fine, but it was too fused with the soggy pastry to enjoy. FOUR COURTS CHEESE FRIES - 13 The portion size was huge -- we were worried we wouldn't finish it. The fries were more "potato-y" than crispy, and they were the thicker shoestring type. They were smothered with cheddar cheese that had already solidified, so it wasn't warm at all. Most fries didn't even get any cheese since it wasn't spread well. There were barely any bacon bits -- maybe only like 12 fries had them. Generally, I'll eat any fry as long as there's ketchup, so I just drenched them. Overall, pretty subpar food. The interior is lively, so I'd recommend stopping by if you're here for the vibe and the sports, but definitely not for the sausage roll or cheese fries. read more

We were visiting a friend who lives nearby and she suggested we go over and watch one of the World Cup Games. We arrived about an hour before the game. There was a line outside as they were checking ID's but the line moved fast. They were also making sure everyone was in your group or be seated. The place filled up pretty quickly. There were TVs everywhere you looked so there was no bad seat in the house. Although it was busy our server was efficient and friendly. We each had a beer and split a couple of appetizers - regular bar food, nothing special but not terrible either. Great atmosphere to watch a game though. read more

Corned beef egg roll? Just had to try them -- and they are FABULOUS! Those along with the fried pickles were great examples of how attentive frying and flavorful accents can bring simple apps to the next level!

Where do I start? Service was painfully slow and inattentive. The bartender seemed more interested in chatting with friends than serving waiting customers, got basic orders wrong such as tator tots. Who can misunderstand tator tots and had a rude attitude when asked for help such as a drink order, as if you're not a bartender? After our only round of beers, my friends and I decided to ask for the final check. Clearly, he misheard the request and never came back. When he finally came back with the check I questioned, whether he had charged that final drink due to us never receiving it and he decided to ignore But just responding aggressively and by attempting to kick us out from the bar. I, then continued to ask for a manager to help clear things out but he walked away with no response but saying I don't like you guys, don't ever come back. Within my restaurant experience for the past 12 years, never have I felt so neglected as the woman I am with such ignorant and disgusting behavior from a male bartender. There was no way of speaking to him and truthfully at first, I believed it what his English barrier but it was very clear it was all masculine bad energy. Never will be returning, will be passing down my horrible experience to all local friends including the company I work for. Truly disappointed read more

Came in with my roommates to watch march madness. They have a nice large space with plenty of tvs. We started with a round of espresso martinis. I personally give mine a 6/10, it was very sweet for my taste, I usually like my espresso martinis a little more bitter. However, my roommates love theirs with bailey's in it, so they gave them a rating of an 8/10, so definitely just a preference on sweetness level. We split the garlic parmesan fries, and the old bay boneless wings. Both were enough food for the three of us, however, the fries were very wet, we think they were just loaded with too much parmesan and garlic. They would have been great if they were crispier. The old bay wings were a little dry and not our favorite. The carrots and celery that came with them were delicious and very fresh. I think next time i'll try the burger, as our other roommate joined us later and for the burger and loved it. It was a nice size portion and came with a side. Our bartender was very nice, attentive, and a lot of fun to talk to. I highly recommend coming and watching games here, the restaurant is lively and they can accommodate large parties. As well as they do trivia nights and karaoke nights which seem like fun! read more

Always slow down and check your receipt. Pay attention to the tipping options. I came for happy hour with a sizeable group of friends and we noticed after we paid that our waiter did not give us happy hour prices. We didn't order everything off the happy hour menu. For what we paid the service was slow. We were waited long periods of time before he came to check on us and take our orders. While I enjoy the ambiance of this location especially with friend, the customer service was not what I've experienced in the past. read more

Came with some friends to watch the soccer game on a Sunday morning. I'm not the biggest fan of Irish food but I actually really did enjoy the chicken boxty for brunch! A nice hearty dish with a great flavor and full of chicken. Comes with a salad as well. Despite the packed restaurant my dish came out in a timely manner. The atmosphere was full of people paying attention to the game. read more

Came in today to watch Arsenal/Man City. Got here a bit late but was able to grab a table in back, great screens and surround sound. Attentive service, tasty food. Good crowd, I think it's an Arsenal bar (too bad, hee hee #ctid). But great atmosphere, next time will get here earlier to sit inside. Solid food, friendly service, Guinness and prosecco flowed to our hearts' content. read more

I had a really disappointing experience at Ireland's Four Courts. I was with two friends, and we were looking for somewhere to sit. There was a four-person table where an older couple was packing up to leave, so I asked if we could have their side once they left. They said yes, and I also asked the younger couple sitting on the other side if they were okay with it, and they said yes as well. As soon as I sat down, a server (a middle-aged white woman) came over, told me I couldn't sit there, and asked me to get up. She then placed a "Reserved" sign on the table. When I asked why, she mumbled something and walked away without explaining the policy. My friend has been there many times and had never seen Ireland's Four Courts take reservations for tables, so I asked the younger couple how they had gotten theirs. They told me they hadn't--they had simply sat down. A few minutes later, the same server removed the "Reserved" sign and seated a father and his son at the exact same table. I asked them how they had gotten the table, and they also said they hadn't reserved it; the server had simply told them they could sit there. The father was incredibly kind. After I explained what had happened, he stood up and offered me his seat because he also couldn't understand why I wasn't allowed to sit there. When the server returned, she again insisted that I couldn't sit there and told the father that if he didn't want the table, he should have said so. He was just as confused as I was and went to speak with who I believe was the manager. The manager came over, apologized, and told me I could sit there as long as I ordered food. That explanation was confusing because my group already had two buckets of drinks and we were literally about to order food. I want to be clear that I don't know what Ireland's Four Courts' seating policy is. If there is a policy that would have explained what happened, it was never communicated to me despite me asking. What was difficult to understand was why I was repeatedly told I couldn't sit there, while multiple other customers were allowed to do exactly that without issue. The entire interaction left me feeling singled out and unwelcome. I was the only Black person involved in these interactions, while every other customer who was allowed to sit at that table was white. I can't say for certain that race was the reason for how I was treated, but given the circumstances, it's hard not to question whether it played a role. At the very least, I was treated differently from everyone else in the exact same situation, and no one was willing to clearly explain why. I hope management looks into this and ensures that seating policies are applied consistently and clearly communicated to all guests so that no one else has a similar experience. read more

I always have a great time at Four Courts! This is a great spot to watch a game or just have a night out. It's consistently comfortably crowded at night but not too crowded that you have to wait a long time for a drink. With two bars and multiple bartenders each night, service is good. read more

I've been many times. I always meet people and have a good time. They know how to pour a Guinness. The staff is always helpful.

Arrived early to try to reserve a couple tables for a friend's surprise party. We were expecting 10 people to show, and the manager was so kind to help make sure we had enough space to celebrate our friend's birthday. Our server was wonderful, the food was good, and we had a great time! read more

The redhead waitress was the rudest waitress I've ever experienced in my life. I didn't know someone could roll their eyes that many times in the span of an hour. Food was okay but the waitress' attitude was bad enough that it inspired me to delete storage in order to download yelp, make an account, and write this review during the Spain's World Cup game. Someone let her know that if she hates her job that much she should quit instead of making it everyone else's problem. read more

Ireland's Four Courts - Inside bar with plenty of TVs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This place has become one of our standards for dinner before catching a movie at the AMC Courthouse, which is a couple of blocks away. The restaurant is warm and welcoming. The staff is friendly and helpful. Most importantly, the food is consistently delicious. My usual choices are a burger, maybe a Ruben sandwich, and occasionally some chicken wings. However, last night, it was cold and rainy, and I tried something more adult, their Chicken Boxty. What a great choice! There were plenty of chicken chunks and onions in a savory curry broth. Underneath it all was a pancake that gave the dish some nice texture. Pro tip: I asked for a couple of slices of their soda bread to further help in sopping up the delicious broth. read more

I went here for the Vikings season opener, and the atmosphere was unbeatable! I'm a huge Vikings fan but have struggled finding my people in the DMV area, so this was quite refreshing!

Best soccer bar in America, and home of DC Spurs. Don't sleep on the curry fries. Great bartenders and clientele.

After being a loyal customer for over four years, I was celebrating a 4-3 Capitals win when a hostess opened her arms for a hug. In the excitement of the moment, I lifted her briefly. She later reported this to management as me picking her up, and as a result, I and my entire group were immediately cut off. I calmly explained the situation to management, but they were firm in their decision despite the context. This was especially disappointing given that we had spent over $1,000 that night alone, and likely well over $30,000 here over the past several years. Dave has always been a fantastic manager and one of the primary reasons we continued coming back. Unfortunately, after Dave left, the new manager chose to take an unnecessarily rigid approach and dismissed us entirely. I am deeply saddened and disappointed by how this was handled, and regrettably, after this interaction, I will not be returning to Ireland's Four Courts. read more

Nachos: There's two things I hold very dear to my heart: 1. The Republic of Ireland, and 2. Nachos. Although I am not Irish, I sense that being Irish is more so a feeling in your heart than it is anything else. At heart, I am Irish. Entering this pub reminded me of the incredible times I had in my brief journey to the beautiful country of Ireland. This pub was packed, music was great, everything was alive and buzzing. Nachos weren't great but I didn't even realize it at first because I was distracted attempting to eavesdrop on the couple near us. I sense they were on the verge of breaking up. Anyway, the cheese was.. spicy? Weird. It was funky cheese. Skimpy toppings, the scallions were an odd touch. Eh. If you come here with some good company you won't think twice about what you're eating, but I thought twice about the nachos, and they were average. All else: Burger was kinda salty but who cares. Long live Ireland. God bless Ireland. read more

Ireland's Four Courts - Nachos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I had the salmon and a side of fries. The salmon was overcooked. Its lemon-caper sauce tasted only of cream, the capers were AWOL. Its accompanying mashed potatoes and vegetables were fine. The vegetables were cooked properly and had no sauce of their own. The fries had far too much salt, which not only do I dislike, but is bad for me and others. It would help if the music were turned down so I wouldn't have had to wear ear protection. The food came out rapidly. The gluten-free options are limited and not shown on the menu. I had to ask. read more

My favorite spot in courthouse to grab a beer. Ambiance is great, updated interior after the fire a few years ago. Still feels like an Irish pub but more modern. Alot of tvs by the bar. Quick service and live music some nights. I really liked the marble bread. Corn beef was melted together really nicely with the cheese, sauerkraut, and dressing. read more

Its a great place to watch a Penn State football game! Definately has the Irish pub feel.

I recalled the food at the pub at one time to be surprising in it's individual takes on the classic pub grub. There was a twist that would spark your choices to widen and encouraged returning in short time. My last pass through left me with a plate that seemed "phoned in" as the sandwich (corned beef) suffered the dressing oil to be the overwhelming taste and not the beef. The kraut I will admit was tangy and rinsed before it could saturate everything else. Frozen potatoes are the normal. Service was there, it will be easier to pass on the Courts but the memories of what once had been fade into another large TV room with beer. read more

Came here for the first time today for the Arsenal Liverpool match and it was packed. The place is much bigger on the inside than you would expect. Every seat was still taken, with plenty of people standing. Nonetheless, I was shocked on how great the service was. We ordered beers. We got beers fast. We ordered food. We got food fast. My friend ordered steak and eggs but we think he got someone else's food bc he didn't order a side of baked beans and his eggs were supposed to be scrambled instead of over easy.. they brought out a small plate of scrambled eggs in less than two minutes. Overall great experience. Would recommend. read more
