Approaching the restaurant there is construction. Outside table are unavailable due not being cleaned cigarette butts everywhere Getting inside really rancid smell Braved it Ordered the meatloaf as I could not see any genuine Irish dish Potatoes tasted like straight cardboard Meatloaf was bland. I even tried to add hot sauce. Couldn't save it. Broccoli was pretty much baby food from being reheated over and over. No texture Chicken wings rubbery like they took yesterday wings and reheated them. No moisture. At least the drinks were good. Would not recommend read more

I just happen to find Moe Harrigan's Tavern and let me just saw that it was an awesome experience going here. The vibe inside the restaurant is welcoming with all the associates and bar folks being so friendly with the employees showing great hospitality to me. The decor inside the bar looks amazing with all the neon signs of beer and others. The food however was out of this world, the cheeseburger was made to order meaning it was made with care. The burger was delicious that my eyes rolled out of my head lol. This was the best bar experience I've ever been too. Thank you, for making my visit so memorable, I will never forget this night. Moe Harrigan's Tavern gets 8/5 stars. The best rating this restaurant deserves it. read more

Food was hot and quick! Great sports bar and had a band Saturday night. Service was awesome! A must! They did have some major plumbing issues for the ladies. Had to cut our outing short as a result or we'd of stayed longer. read more

I was there on Saturday, March 15. I arrived shortly after 5pm so I could get dinner and then see Funky G. However, it was impossible to place an order. We managed to wave a server down, who just waved at us like we were toddlers and then never came back to take an order. Approximately 30 minutes later, I asked verbally for assistance with an order, but the server walked away. I left the restaurant at approximately 6:30, having never been able to place a food or beverage order and knowing that there was no way I could move to the tent to see the band and potentially have a drink without having eaten. I had planned to do this since I saw the event announced and to say I am disappointed is an understatement. My friends stayed, but they had eaten since I had and don't have the same issues with absolutely having to eat that I do. I won't ever attempt to go to this place again. It was completely unacceptable. read more

We love that we could bring our little dog and sit out on the patio. Food was great too. We were only in the area a few days but we would go there again if we ever are back there. read more

Food and service was outstanding but the prices are a little steep in my opinion. Got a pork tenderloin and some smoked wings which were both delicious, the tenderloin seemed like it was breaded and made in house. Wings came with a dry rub and we're on point with freshness. The really downfall was the tv's were hard to see due to the lamps over the booths. read more

Harrigan's Irish Pub is under new management/ownership since the last time I was there, although some of the good wait staff are still there like Danielle. We had fish and chips with coleslaw. Great value for the money. It was delicious. Even the fry's were awesome. The ambiance is Retro so there are lots to look at while you enjoy your meal and adult beverages. Sunday night is open mike night. If you have been there before. Give them another shot. read more

Kettering's Oldest Tavern We have fond memories of the Original Harrigan's Tavern, and have fond memories of the Marshall Road Location. Harrigan's Tavern is the sort of Pub, that when one re-visits, nothing has changed, and we like that. Ambience: Classic Pub with an Irish Name. The Publican is excelling today, and nearly every seat around the classic horseshoe bar is occupied. Ok, she is busy at the bar; simply place your order at the bar, and enjoy the ambience. Five Seasons League Tennis has proceeded very well today. We have done several $$Million dollar deals at Harrigan's Tavern. We know that the Cheddar Burger is excellent; todays Cheddar Burger is great. Ambience, Publican, and Burger are all first rate. read more

Returning to SW Ohio ... is about family and comfort food. The breaded pork tenderloin sandwich at Harrigan's is excellent. Dare I claimed that it is the best BPTS I have ever eaten? Yes; it is. Great attentive service and the food for our party of five arrived promptly. Will I return? Yes! read more

Went here today. The bar tender was sweet and very efficient. Our food was excellent. We had the sampler platter and the bacon cheddar burger. The sampler platter had mozzarella sticks, chicken strips, potatoes skins and mini tacos. Both were awesome! The bacon cheddar burger came with fries. The food was excellent. We definitely will come back! read more

Sunday Night Football in Cincinnati. Bengals vs. Bills. Big screens on. Crowd in Bengals gear. No sound. Why? It's open mike night. Seriously. Conversations with your friends is difficult, because the singer drowns everyone out. Places like this don't know how to do music. Moe's knows how to kill a vibe. Went home to watch the game. read more

Great 1980's atmosphere - waitress was attentive and friendly. My husband got the Fish dinner and it was a lot of food for the money! And he said it tasted great! I got the Ruben - it was enough for 2 people. Good prices and good food with large portions! If you haven't tried it check it out it & if it has been awhile check it out again. We are new to the area and have been 3 times in 2 weeks. read more

When I'm home on a weeknight and I want a good drink and a delicious pizza, a head on over to Harrigan's Tavern in Kettering. You really can't beat the $5 domestic pitcher special. My favorite thing to get here is by far the margarita pizza, add bacon and chicken--paired with a nice Bud Light with lime wedges, you'll be in heaven! This hole in the wall bar is actually a Kettering hidden gem, and the atmosphere inside speaks for itself. If you're ever in Kettering, be sure to check this place out at dinner time--or anytime! read more

Moe Harrigan's Tavern - Margherita pizza - Bars Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Huge, huge massive covered outdoor patio space with waitress service. Pretty solid tap list with at least 15 taps of which 8 are local. Waitress and bartender very friendly. Super fair pricing. Good sized menu. It was pouring outside today and were in search of a large covered patio space (still COVID after all) and ventured upon this place. Good people, good food, good drinks. Will be happy to keep giving them our business. read more

I was part of a group of 8 that ate there yesterday. First sign of trouble should have been lack of customers on a Saturday with numerous sports on TV. Second sign of trouble was when we asked for a couple of samples of craft beer from their taps, and one sample had gnats floating in the beer and the response from the waitress was that they "must have come straight from the tap." WTF! Speaking of the waitress, she was the only worker in the front of the house. She was hostess, waitress, bartender, etc. Other than kitchen staff, she was it. Third sign of trouble was more gnats, especially after our food was brought out to us. This place is a tired and worn out establishment that is in desperate need of an overhaul. I would avoid this place until it is remodeled. read more

Great local place! New owners are putting in the work to rebuild this iconic legend! Check it out when you have a chance...pizza and Chicken fingers are definitely winners! They even hosted a goat rescue today in the tent outside; very cool! It's a Tavern, but they are also very kid friendly; support local and enjoy a great meal!!! read more

Great neighbor tavern ! The menu has many options and the portions are good sized. Fun place to come and have a few drinks with friends !

The new owners are phenomenal!!! They really care about this bar! Saint Patty's Day was a great place to be.

Friendly, cozy, dive bar feel. Lots of warm wood inside. A huge outdoor, covered patio out front. The bar area is huge with a complete square around the bartenders. The food here is pretty good but it's all your typical bar fare. The pizzas are great and have a little flame grilled flavor to them. The chili is exceptional! The salads are huge - even the half size is mega! The ranch dressing here is also not to be passed up. Trivia on Tuesdays is fun. read more

Worst service of any bar in the Kettering/Dayton area. Oh, unless you're friends with the bartender. Got 6 friends and you want to celebrate your birthday? Go someplace else. Even the owners wife - who should not be behind the bar - will tell you she never wanted a bar and this was her husbands idea. And that is clear with her horrible service. I thought when the bar changed hands from the other worst service that things would get better. Hard to believe it got worse. I live one block away and will never cross their threshold read more

I was recently here with some friends and our kids on a Thursday during lunch time. There is a kids place called Run Around Fun Town right across the street and not many restaurants nearby so this was one of our few options. We walked right in and were able to grab a table. It wasn't super crowded, but had a decent amount of people for lunch time. Once we got the kids and use settled in, we had to go find someone at the bar and asked for menus. We found out once the bartender came over with menus that they had a new waitress. Looking over the menu it's typical pub food. I decided on a Reuben with fries. They do have a kids menu and it's fairly priced. I grab my daughter corn dogs and mandarin oranges. My two friends got the Salmon Burger, they ordered their little ones corn dogs and chicken tenders. One got a side of fries the other got mac n cheese. We found that service was a bit slow for them not being busy, but the kids were fine so it wasn't a huge deal. Once the food arrived it looked great. My Reuben was delicious and the fries were fresh and hot. My daughters corn dogs were a little overcooked, but nothing major. The chicken tenders were standard like most places. My friends had a bit of a mixed review on the Salmon burger. One thought it was decent, but definitely frozen and just reheated. The other thought it was way too fishy and couldn't eat much more then half of it. Overall it was a good meal. Definitely the place for good bar food. I would be curious to see how it is on Friday or Saturday. I can imagine as an Irish pub, it's pretty lively around St. Patrick's Day too! read more

Will not go back. The place is a dump. Use to go here all the time, but no money has been put in the place at all. Needs updated. The booth seats are torn, dirty, understaffed, or at least slow service. Horrible. read more

Used to be nice place but run down and who wants to go in stink to eat? Need to refresh menu and redo bathrooms. Sorry to see it go downhill. Time for new owner. read more

Been one of our favorite places for weekday lunches for years. They added to the food selection right before covid and it was great. Little disappointed at the music selection and loud volume recently. Had to leave and go somewhere else a couple of times. read more

Not a fan. I am sorry. I wanted to like this local place and we went a few times because I dont want to write anything unflattering if they had a bad day. It is really dirty in here. The decor and memorabilia are old but cute. The service was absolutely terrible each time we went. One was pre-quarantine and 2 others when things started back up. We waited forever to get waited on and we were 2 of 5 people in the place. The food wasn't great and frankly not good at all. Sorry. I just would not waste my time or yours! read more

Recently stopped by on a Saturday afternoon for a beer with a few friends. We sat at the half-populated bar. The rest of the place had 4-6 tables occupied. Not in anyway I would consider busy or packed. Our first drink took about 5 minutes. I noticed a table of 6 came in, sat themselves (which I think is what the sign said).. and then waited 5-7 minutes until one of them got up, went to the bar and ordered drinks. Shortly after, he got up and got menus for his table. There was a waitress in that area, but I guess she had so much going on with her one table already... dunno. I finished my beer. And waited. The bartender must have walked by 5 times. Someone else finished their drink. Waited. Finally we flag her down, and 3-5 minutes later we get another round of drinks. Shortly after, she tells us they're switching shifts and asks if can she close us out. We had planned to have a bite to eat here, but after the glacier-pace of service and the simply lack of service to others in the place... we figured we'd skip. Two stars because the bloody mary's were quite tasty. We probably won't be back.... read more

**Yikes. We decided to stop in at Harrigans on a cold night midweek (okay it was Thursday) in January. My dinner companion and I arrived a bit before 6 pm when normally we don't get to dinner before 7. Sliding into a booth we waited a while for the waitress to see us - which would not take much as we were only one of about five or six tables filled in the place. When a young staff person greeted us to take a drink order, I thought an Irish Coffee would be nice. She hesitated, asked again and then said she didn't know if they could make me an Irish coffee...then sighed heavily, explaining that she'd ***have to make the coffee, first,*** (looking at me as if to say, " do I really have to??"). Not wanting to put her out, I settled for a cold beverage. We did order a meal, but honestly, the meal was forgettable. On the way out, signs posted on every door mentioned they would not be taking American Express anymore. Danger, Will Robinson. Sad experience at a long-time establishment. When an Irish bar finds it taxing to make an Irish coffee for a patron, there is Trouble in River City. This is not the bar you are looking for. read more

My boyfriend and I visited here for a spur of the moment lunch today. It's a place we have usually enjoyed. Upon arriving there was one girl behind the bar working and maybe two booths seated. Pretty dead for lunchtime. She had an obvious table of friends in the back who were being very outspoken. We sat at the bar for a full 5 minutes before even being acknowledged due to her preoccupation with her friends. Once we were finally given menus it was another 15 minutes to order. Keep in mind the place was basically empty. We ordered a second round of drinks. My boyfriend was given his correct beer but she started to pour a shot for me that wasn't what I had before. Instead of apologizing and fixing it she accused me of ordering wrong and tried to convince me I had misspoken. The food was good I would order out from here but maybe skip over this particular girl's shifts. read more

We used to go to Harrigan's all the time before we moved 18 years ago. We moved back recently and decided to try them out. We were NOT disappointed! The food was great--I had a Reuben and fries, my husband had a cheeseburger and fries. The service was wonderful. The building is old and could use some updating in the bathrooms and flooring, but other than that, it's a great place! read more

Walked right in, went up to the bar, ordered four Yuengling's on draft, cost me $8. No issues, no wait, no hassle. It was around 2:00 in the morning on a Sunday (Saturday night). read more

Ok drink prices, extremely under staffed only about three waitresses and that includes the two bartenders for the whole place. Something burning coming out of the kitchen all night making it hazy and eyes irritated. read more

They deserve less than one star and unless something changes I'm not sure how they'll stay in business. Two friends and I stopped in for lunch and a couple beers after a round of golf. The bartender/ server ,heather ,said she was there by herself. There were 4 other people there,all at the bar and us. We ordered three beers and she said sure. After ten minutes she still hadn't brought the beers and was busy talking on her phone and talking to the people at the bar. I finally walked up and said I'd take the beers to table,but she hadn't even drawn the beers yet. After waiting another 5 minutes or more she finally got the three drafts up and we served ourselves. This same procedure happened again ,and she pretty much ignored us so went up and asked for 3 more beers. I stood and waited at least 1o minutes for her to get them .she was busy talking and I think selling lotto tickets to the few people at bar. At this point we told her to forget lunch,we were leaving. She said just give her 5 dollars and we'd be even. We each gave her 5 dollars for two beers each,I didn't want to cheat anyone even with the awful service. We went across the street to Elsa's and got lunch and a beer within 10 minutes.. read more

Great food. Favorites are BLT, Rueben, salads, and Friday Fish. Service can be slow but always friendly. read more

Moe Harrigan's Tavern - Bars Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

This is the worst managed place.they have one person in working the entire place needless to say the service sucks.

We went to Harrigans at about 7:30pm Saturday evening. There were some customers in the restaurant. Placed our order: Chili, Hamburger with fries and an order of onion rings. While waiting a booth of four left after stating that they had waited too long for their order. This was the second group that had left. While we waited for our order. we learned that there was a new inexperienced cook. Our order arrived: Fries and onion rings were not hot. The onion rings were not fried very well. Mainly the hamburger was not cooked thoroughly-beyond just pink! We sent it back and did not reorder due to length of time it took to receive our food. we asked that it be removed from our bill. WE did pay for the onion rings as we did eat some. While the server apologized for delays and food prep-at no time did the manager have the consideration or courage to come out and talk with us or others. We had tried Harrigan's awhile back. We left after waiting for a server.We saw no employees or customers.. We decided to give them another try and extremely disappointed at the lack of management concern and poor quality of food being served. Harrigan's has failed a great opportunity to give Kettering a good neighborhood place to eat. With competition in the restaurant business it is really sad that better concern and care is not being given to their business or customers read more

I've heard nothing but good things, so we gave it a shot. I had the super bowl which is a pile of chili, cheese, onions, and chips. Deliciousness ! It was also inexpensive at $6.00, and I can't wait to have it again ! For the reminder of the day I predictably let some super farts. read more

Their pizza is amazing just be sure to ask for it extra crispy. Always have it done quick for us. They also have mini shredded chicken tacos that are great. read more

Why is there a child running around a bar!? And in and out of the kitchen!?! That's very unsanitary and I'm pretty sure illegal. When I walked into the door, this terrible musty smell assaulted me. My god, it was horrible. The place was dingy, dark, dirty, and definitely didn't remind me of my heritage. The only time the bartender paid attention to me was when I walked in and she said "carry out order!?!" I shook my head and sat at the bar and she ignored me the rest of the time. No offer to get me a drink or show me a menu - which I would not have wanted anyway after seeing, and smelling, the inside. From what I saw of the kitchen, a very small corner, it was FILTHY. Only three tables filled and no one bothered to sweep? There was a waitress just sitting at the bar drinking instead of actually doing her job. Food splatter on the walls and terribly tacky, smelly taxidermied animals on the walls. It doesn't scream "proud to be Irish", it screams "proud to get food poisoning". BEWARE. read more

In terms of just laid back neighborhood bar; its perfect. No need to get dressed up or put nice clothes on. Drinks are cheap and free popcorn is always decent. Its old and dusty with a ton of shit on the walls, but its all "ambience". I always make a stop when I'm in town. read more

Bartender rude as all get out! I used to like this place,I will never go back. I ordered a super bowl of chili, with grilled cheese, and she brought out the biggest bowl I have EVER seen,then proceeds to tell me that's an appetizer portion, I asked if my other food been made , she said yup! Completely, unreal. There was enough chili left to feed an army! I was very upset, then she charges me for 2 sides which my chili was supposed to come with sour cream, had to ask for that even. Terrible customer service,nothing like I encountered before back in 2012. $35.12, cause.i bought my friend lunch and 2 drinks and I had 1 insane! I never tipped her she certainly didn't deserve it! read more
