    I love to stop in at the field after a padres game - or on an event weekend like comic con! We…read morelove the upstairs to grab fish n chips - they are delish While I crave more live music and dance from this pub it is definitely a cozy place to grab a pint. One of the most unique items is their frozen Irish coffee Don't sleep on this drink - it's refreshing and tasty- and even though you can't taste it - these are strong Always a friendly staff and fun time here

    I came here during a weekday as i was craving something different then my usual options for lunch…read more There's no parking lot of their own, just street parking, so plan for that. I ordered the sampler that came with smaller portions of the beef stew, chicken boxty, shepherd's pie, and corned beef and cabbage.i think the stew was one of the ones i liked the best, it was hearty, the meat was tender, and the flavor was good. The chicken boxty could have used a little bit more flavor to the sauce, it tasted kind of bland. The shepherd's pie was the beef version, it was not the best I've had but still good. I feel like it also could have used just a bit more flavor or some salt. The corned beef and cabbage tasted like they added nothing to it to give it flavor, so i was a bit disappointed with it. However, the corned beef was pretty tender and i liked the taste. We also ordered the house burger which we liked. I liked the flavor the irish cheddar gave it. It came with fries, which tasted fresh and we enjoyed. It's pretty dark inside, and it definitely looks older, but that's the vibe they are going for. You almost feel transported to another time for sure. Yeah everything was in there The upstairs looks a little bit brighter, and in hindsight I wish we would have sat up there. I feel like downstairs is more for when you just want to have a drink and watch the game.

    I'd seen a random Facebook post saying the best trivia was with Chris, Wednesday's at the shamrock…read moreso here we are. We came for the good times and decided to make a girls night of it and have dinner and drinks too. The website says reservations recommended, I'd say more like required if you think you're coming. Every single table and barstool in the place was taken. Sean was our server and immediately we were having a great time with him. He's really awesome and super friendly. There were so many things on the menu that sounded amazing. Between us girls we each ordered something different to eat so we had a nice variety. The portions are huge! My meatloaf was so freaking good, the picture did not do it justice at all. My friends got sliders, corned beef and cabbage and a chicken caeser salad, which they all liked as well. Although this place was super busy from the trivia the service was fast and drinks as well as refills came quickly. Food took a bit of time as to be expected. The trivia was great just as everyone had mentioned and I'm glad we decided to check it out. Thursdays is Bingo also with Chris and since grandma hobbies are right up my alley it looks like I will be spending a lot of time at the Shamrock now.

    I swing by here about twice a month coming back from Costco…read more Always pleasantly surprised by the food. The chicken & cranberry, reuben, blackened shrimp tacos --- all good. Never had bad food here. Service is where they really shine. The wait staff are a lot of fun, esp the blonde british lady. Pours on shots of Jameson are very decent, too. Best Irish pub around.

    Well... This was our attempt for this months New places with old friends. We ended up just having a…read moredrink and heading elsewhere. I hate leaving questionable reviews.. but also feel when we researched places we didn't get an accurate story. This is a true neighborhood pub.. the place you come so everybody knows your name. Which I love and can appreciate. But as an outsider it was kinda chaotic instead. A bartender came to clean a table for us. The largest grossest bugger hanging out of his nose, he had sweat marks so large there was no need to lift his arms to see them. He proceeded then to do shots at the bar with costumers. Which again... I totally can appreciate having a good time in a good neighborhood pub. The floors were so dirty around the booths. The menus dirty. Just over all couldn't stay and eat here. Did get some good laughs watching a few very inebriated customers, had some good drinks and went on our way. We personally wouldn't come back, but again if you live in the neighborhood and it's just that place you come to for your hang with friends, it's looks like it's a fun place.

    We went to Long Story on a Friday for an early dinner and to watch the band perform. We found a…read moretable with ease and ordered food at the bar. Everything we ordered was delicious. My favorite was the Philly cheesesteak. They were also kind enough to make a basic cheeseburger for my 5 year old, and offered free refills for soft drinks. The place slowly started to get crowded around 6pm, but it still felt family friendly as we were heading out.
