    Corn beef and cabbage
    Joanne D.

    I tried the corn beef and cabbage and it was the best out of the other four places I have tried it in Long Beach. K.C. BRANAGHAN'S is my new go to place for Irish food.

    Patty Melt
    Johnnie C.

    Good and relaxing environment with festive atmosphere. The food was decent and fair priced. I had the patty melt and salad plate. It was average at best. On 2nd Street in an easy to get to spot. Parking is along the street and free. Sports on the multiple TVs along the walls. Will return with buddies.

    1/2 Corned Beef Sandwich & Fry's
    John C.

    Ordered a lunch delivery on GrubHub from KC Branigan's pub I chose the half of corn beef sandwich with fries? The corn beef is definitely an Irish corn beef versus a deli, corned beef. The corned beef has a much more beef flavor, and not a heavy garlic flavor, which I really enjoyed. The corn beef is very lean and has a hardy chew to it. They give you a hearty amount of beef on the sandwich. The Ryebread is delicious. The french fries are cooked extremely well and delicious taste. I would definitely order the 1/2 sandwich again .

    Parmesean crusted chicken, mashed potatoes and vegetables

    Love this place. We were in LBC for a graduation and were staying on Naples Island. We ate at this pub three times!! My husband had the french dip and said it was the best he ever had. I had the cottage pie and the parmesan chicken and both were amazing!! Beer was nice and cold. We also ate breakfast and everyone enjoyed theirs.

    Best garlic bread of my life!

    Come visit KC's for amazing food and getting treated like family. Everything is house made and delicious. The bartenders do an amazing job. It's a great place for good service and escaping the crowds.

    Good Irish pub in Long Beach...seafood dinners on Friday night were very good, the swordfish was delish!!! The ahi was very good as well but would've preferred it whole instead of sliced....the mashed potatoes and veggies were also excellent...good selection of beers and mixed drinks as well...ambiance is a traditional Irish pub, decent enough but not great...the service was okay, not great as the server was unsure of a few things on the menu....would return for the food if in area as it was definitely a surprise!! RECOMMEND

    Cool Irish pub on second street. A very nice atmosphere and decent pub food. They have great staff that are always welcoming and nice when we arrive. It seems to be very very busy and then some days just completely empty. In any case the value for money is absolutely there. I will definitely go again when I want a nice beer and some pub food. This time we ordered the veggie burger which was great. Will definitely come back!!

    My husband and I dropped off the kids at a sailing class through LB Parks and Rec. we walked from Leeway to KC Brannigans to get breakfast. Oh my word...it was an amazing decision. It has been a very long time since I have been there and I think I only drank. Why why why have I slept on this for so long? First, my husband got an Irish Coffee and I got the most unique drink: the Pancake Breakfast Shot. This was butterscotch schnapps and Jameson shooter (tastes like a pancake with syrup), a shooter of orange juice, and a piece of bacon. This was soooo fun! Next, I ordered a breakfast burrito, my husband an eggs Benedict. Breakfast burritos are kind of my thing. This was a delightful classic breakfast burrito filled with eggs and your choice of three ingredients. I chose avocado, cheese, and bangers. Wow...it was so solid. Toasted in the outside, filled with perfectly cooked eggs, and served with a side of potatoes. Again, very solid! The eggs Benedict...made me want to cry...it was so so so so so so perfectly cooked with a rich Hollandaise sauce. Even the English muffin was delicious. Usually the English muffin is a throw away, you hardly think about it. Not here. It was so fluffy and spongy. And our server was so great. She took our order, chatted with us, and made us feel very welcomed. This is a classic Irish bar: dark, solid wooden furniture, soccer matches on all the of the TVs, and locals who seemed to be loving life. My only mistake was not coming here sooner. Don't make the same mistake I did.

    Stopped in here with the boyfriend since we were leaving the beach, and it seemed to be one of the few places that wasn't overrun with people on Mother's Day. In fact, it was on the quiet side in this dark wood-paneled Irish pub when we arrived around 4 PM. We were not acknowledged at all, when we came in, and stood around for a few minutes until we took matters into our own hands, and sat at a table by the window. The goal was to just grab a quick drink and a few appetizers. It took about 10 minutes for the waitress to come and take our drink orders. She came back with the drinks, set them down, and never returned. Ever. We sat there like idiots for at least 20 minutes and no one acknowledged us at all. I also noticed that the wait staff was drinking on the job. The blonde waitress who had served us was sipping out of a small glass of dark liquid. Not too appropriate to be drinking on the job, is it?? We finally got tired of being treated like Mr. and Mrs. Invisible. Finished our drinks, boyfriend got up and went over to the bar, paid the tab, and we left. I've been reading the reviews that their food is pretty good. Shame that we never got to try it.

    Service was attentive, friendly and quick. Food delicious and comforting. Came on Tuesday night for King Trivia w/Sara(h?) and had a blast! Traditional Irish pub decor with local vibe and very relaxing.

    Went with friends to election watch party. Kristina Duggan, who is running for District 3 City Council hosted the party. This is an neighborhood bar. Reminds me of CHEERS. Everyone knows everyone's name. Huge selection of beer and wine and other alcoholic beverages (after all it is a bar). They also have a great menu selection. Many screens throughout so stop on in to watch your favorite sporting events.

Mid week when we arrived which wasn't too crazy. There was no one on the patio which was nice as it gave us first choice for a seat...lol... Everyone was seating inside. The place itself isn't that big. You have the bar area with some bar seating. Then there's a couple of tables inside and of course the patio which is along the sidewalk. Personally I prefer sitting outside for the people watching. The staff were all amazing and very friendly. Places like that make the experiences more enjoyable. You want someone who is friendly and respectful. As we were there early, we grabbed one of the beer which they have quite a good selection on tap. There's also wine if you're not into beer. When it came time to grab some food, we were able to get a table inside. Majority of the breweries tends to serve pretty much the same things, pizza sandwiches and salads. No complaints here. Simple food goes a long way. There were a couple of us so we grabbed a few things to share. Started off with the pretzel balls with cheese dip and honey mustard and the chips with queso cheese dip. Pretzel was tasty and outdid the queso dip. Pizzas of course which were pretty big in sizes. A couple of the pizzas and a salad did four of us with leftovers. Their Hawaiian pizza was quite tasty and was finished. We also ordered one of the mushroom pizzas with an egg. It was tasty but a little on the salty side. The arugula salad was delicious. Simple but tasty. And then there was ham pizza I believe with onions and peppercini. That was also a favorite of the night. Overall, the place was quite fun. Not a big brewery and more intimate. The crowd was great and as most places are very kid and family friendly. There was couple of kids when we arrived. Service was great. Food and drinks were enjoyed and the service and staff were excellent. Street parking available along the front but also along the neighborhood.

Fast forward to this past weekend for the USA World Cup game. We originally were planning on attending the street party that was happening on Pine Ave in downtown for the game. But when we arrived, there was a massive line just to get in. Just from the looks of it, the line didn't seemed to move and the game was starting. That's how we ended up here. The bar is just off the promenade in downtown. Clearly, there was no way we're waiting in the line for the street party. Instead, we remembered and seen this place. They too were showing the game so we walked in. There was a good amount of people on the patio area which they also had a television. Inside was a bit more mellow but it was picking up. With this bar, we got to sit down and enjoy the game with a nice cold beer. Happy hour was going on so they were having specials on drinks. Within minutes, it was starting to get packed as everyone was doing the same thing. Instead of waiting in line and the game was starting, this place was a better option. A nice open vibe bar. Plenty of seating inside as well as the outside patio which was pretty big as well. The ladies behind the bar were amazing. Busy as they were trying to take care of everything and everyone. Drink specials did sound nice but we opted for the happy hour beer. Bar area was quite roomy with communal tables as well a private table. Bar seating was great as the television was right in-front of you. The tufted leather seats, leather high top seats give it that cigar lounge. A cool spot right in the heart of downtown Long Beach. They didn't serve food but was informed that hat someone was serving classic hot dog and burger out front. Having walked in and enjoying this place, it was worth it. Also one of the bartender that worked at another place we've been to also worked here. The whole place was nice and greatly enjoyed. Will be back for sure.
