Food was just ok, beer selection could have been larger/better. Fries were great, however! I felt like the food was overpriced ($6 to add chicken to a small Caesar salad! and $6 for a street taco). Hostess was extremely nice and dog friendly (server was much less dog friendly). read more

Great spot. Good food. Good service. Friendly staff. Clean. Beef stew. Guinness lager. Side salad. Burger /fries. All really good. Definitely be back ! read more

Parish Publick House - St Patrick's day - Irish Pub Near Me - Aptos, California

We were very happy with our drinks especially because of their creative flair. We shared the salmon fish & chips. The salmon was delicious but we chose the homemade chips verses the fries. The spice was nice but they had a sweet element we didn't enjoy. We also felt the chips needed an aioli so we asked for ranch dressing to dip them in instead. What really impressed me was when I mentioned I wasn't feeling good, they offered me warm water with lemon and they kept it filled for me during our meal. That was a nice personal touch! We also enjoyed the neighborhood family feel. We even met one of our own neighbors there! The kids could get up and stretch their legs without a second glance. We look forward to going back to try a burger and next time I'll order my husbands drink... it was one of the best Manhattans we've had! And with the good cherries! We're a bit of snobs when it comes to the cherry. read more

Love the wait staff and bartenders and food is always good! Feels Like a small town pub. read more

I am upset and disappointed with my visit to Parish Publick House. While the food was delicious and the staff were friendly, a rat with what seemed like NYC training, terrorized my poor chihuahua during our meal! We were seated on the patio when the rodent scurried across the floor. Naturally, my Samson chased after the pest and was quickly engaged in a face-off . The rat began to chase my dog, as I watched in horror. The rat eventually backed down and made its escape under the fence. The altercation took seconds, but will keep me from visiting at least in the foreseeable future. I expected a safe and pleasant dining experience, but instead, I left in shock and distress cradling my mentally scarred and defenseless little Samson. I urge others to think twice before bringing their pets here, and I hope the management takes immediate action to address this serious issue. It's really a shame because the ambiance and beautiful young ladies providing service were otherwise quite enjoyable. If you do not heed my warning and come here, you at least have to try the Rocket in your anus sauce. It is to die for if you are a spice lover. read more

Great "locals" spot. Good beer, good food, great people! Their BLTA is outstanding! Sooo many choices of beer and cider.

Such great service and food. The Lavender Sour is amazing. Had the Almar Shuffle and it was delicious. Great fries, great food, great service. COVID friendly and safe. read more

We ordered pick-up from here and we were super impressed. The fish and chips are amazing. Fat filets of salmon battered and fried. My daughter said they were the best fish and chips she's ever had. I had the buffalo chicken salad which comes with house-made Buffalo sauce. It was super tasty! But umm yes, housemade buffalo sauce. Great customer service delicious food. You should definitely go. read more

Damn, the only negative comment is that I wish I came more hungry. I had the Dave o chicken rap, my wife had the portobello burger and fries and we shared the chocolate chip bread pudding. Everything was delicious. The hostess was very friendly along with our waiter. We are not from the area but if we did this would be are new hangout. read more

Stopped in after a morning hike in the nearby redwoods. We were starving and this pub was the closest place for food. So glad we gave it a try! This Irish pub had a great range of beers on tap and diverse menu options. We went all out for the fried varieties. If you're in the area, go for the local fare: fried artichoke hearts and garlic fries. The artichokes here were especially good: big and tender with just the right amount of crispy breading. Outstanding burgers; they had some crazy burger options! Food was very good and generous portions. We sat outdoors and the surroundings were pleasant, tho some might be bothered by the passing traffic. Indoors were dark and had the decor typical of traditional UK pubs. I liked the atmosphere. read more

We were referred to this nice little spot at the first stop of our stay. We tried the Garlic Wings, The Irish Dip, The Maiden Club, The Philly and The Veggie (add bacon and turkey make your own club essentially). 3 with garlic fries and 1 with regular fries. To drink we tried The Lemon Drop Royale, Lavender Sour and Corralitos Richter Red beer. All of their sauces and syrups are made in their facility. Literally some.ofrthe best ranch we have ever had.. The food and service was fantastic!!! read more

If you want beer and a lunch this spot is good choice if you're in Aptos. They were accommodating to my dad's health restrictions. The garlic fries are great! read more

Parish Publick House - Garlic fries, grilled cheese, grilled salmon and salad, hibiscus margarita - Irish Pub Near Me - Aptos, California

Best pub food in Santa Cruz. You need to try the garlic fries, burger, and cocktails!

My husband and I went to the house today for the first time while in Santa Cruz for a bite to eat. We got takeout, and he got a fried chicken sandwich and I got shepherds pie with a side salad. Unfortunately, I also got food poisoning with my lunch. My husband was perfectly fine and his food was delicious (I tried a few bites). I called them to let them know, and they were very gracious but did let me know that the pies were precooked and then heated up to order. From my food handlers permit a few years ago, I believe this is one of the ways that food can rest in the danger zone since it's not held at temperature. I simply asked that they informed the kitchen staff and wished them well. They did call back to offer a $20 gift card to pick up at any time, which is nice but I'm not sure I'd want to come back after how horrible I feel tonight. I gave 3 stars because my husbands food was good, and he did not get ill. Please make sure to amend your practices so it doesn't happen to someone else! read more

The food was ok. While there was a huge wait, we did get great service by the waiters. They do not have many big seating locations, so I would not recommend for large families or gatherings (unless you want to be spread apart) read more

Terrific, great ambiance and location. Food is excellent, with items you won't find elsewear. Check it out.

I love the Mac bites and the Belushi burger! Who knew a deep fried burger could be so good...

Our favorite go to place in Aptos. So many sandwich and burger options. Their homemade BBQ chips are delicious. Their deep fried artichoke hearts are the best I've ever had. The workers are so friendly. The wait is not bad. You can usually find seating in the bar areas. They offer dog meals which my dogs love. It's reasonably priced and so filling. They have lots of craft beer options and full bar service. You won't regret eating here and I believe you will return many times. The parking can be difficult. read more

I wish I got pictures to remover this meal! We literally devoured our food at lightning speed. It was absolutely mind blowing. We had a large party, and were sat immediately. Between everyone, we got Dave O wings, artichokes, fried pickles, fried Mac and cheese, 2 different burgers, grilled cheese, and the Dave O wrap. Every single item was far beyond our expectation. And every single person who helped us was so nice and helpful and fast. We are in town for 4 days, and this is the second meal we have had here, and I think we might come back tomorrow! read more

Visit @parishpubsc during "Burger week" thrown by @SCrestaurantWK ‼ Parish Publick had the best #vegan offering on the first year of this event: an upside down Portabella mushroom stuffed with a veggie burger crammed between two buns w/all kinds of grilled onions/jalapeños up there. Parish got BUNS, hon! Fingers crossed that Parish Publick will offer that veggie burger as a special on their regular menu some day! read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants. It can be hard to find good food thats reasonable and this place has both. Its a great atmosphere too. I happen to like the music they play there too, so thats a plus! My only suggestion would be to play more female artists. There are a lot of options in the Bluegrass genre : ) read more

Excellent. Went for brunch we had biscuits and gravy and fried chicken egg Benedict. Perfect comfort food. Every bite was so good probably best I've had in long time. Casual Vibe. Good drink and beer selection. Loved the Bloody Mary perfect blend of spices. Friendly service. Quick. I can't wait to go back. It's my new favorite place. Can't wait to try the burgers I hear they are to die for. read more

Fun Irish English pub multiple levels some outside seating everything You Want little limited on the menu beers. But good on hard alcohol drinks read more

Everything you want in an Irish pub! This cozy place has a great vibe, delicious comfort food, a sold beer list, and a very friendly staff. We will be back here every time we are in Aptos. read more

Great little pub with an extensive beer and cocktail selection and wonderful service! Loved the food and drinks. Can't wait to come back!

I like this place more and more each time I go. It started with an amazing BURGER WEEK. GO when they have it. Fresh ingredients don't feel unhealthy even when it's fried...burgers are great, make "the hangover Helper" a burger, you won't regret it. And try the Dave O Sando...it is kinda dark for lunch and chilly so I always go for dinner. There can be a wait so plan on a drink while you wait read more

Staff are all super friendly, they have some outdoor and patio seating as well as indoor. Great food, and bartenders - if I physically could, I would live on the mac and cheese bites and franch sauce. In Feb grabbed a few of the burgers for burger week and everything was great also during the last few years their to go cocktails have been fun to try out (you just have to buy food as well to get them to go). read more

Well I went back for fried artichokes and thought I might just stay for a drink or two since it was their "happy hour".$1 off ) The waitress said it was full in the back ;then the bar area was closed.She then said that the outside in front was open(two tables without heat) so we sat in only place the dining area,I gotta tell you really that place smells on old grease and stagnant food,the smell was getting worse the more we stayed,my friends stayed and I had to get out without even ordering.I get "rustic "but this was like a bus stop not a tavern. There is not that much happening in Aptos village so I can see why locals stop here for beer and grub etc,since everything else closes so early.This place needs a good cleaning or re- model ,best to just order some takeout and drink somewhere else. read more

6 stars attentive, real, tasty. Irish Dip yes please. Full bar. Chill music. Accommodating, thanks!!!

Meh. Given how popular this place is, I had really high expectation. I had the "Ooey Gooey" burger. It tasted good but had a comedically small amount of brie cheese (see picture). The side salad was OK but was pretty basic (and balsamic dressing seemed more like Italian). I might be back but I wasn't that amazed. Maybe the other dishes are better. read more

Parish Publick House - Super small amount of brie on the Ooey Gooey. - Irish Pub Near Me - Aptos, California

Great service and food! I ordered the fried salmon and chips to find a small piece of plastic wrapping inside. When I told the server, he returned to say the Manager will comp our entire meal (party of 3)! They went above and beyond making up for the mishap. Restaurant decor was authentic and cool, Food was really yummy too! read more

Parish Publick House - Salmon fish and chips - Irish Pub Near Me - Aptos, California

When it comes to burgers (because I haven't tried anything else), I have to think these are some of the best in SC County. It's huge at 1/2 lb (where as many restaurants do 1/3 lb), and the accompanying fries or onion rings are fantastic. Fan of the Bacon/Blue cheese burger, it's heaven on a bun. read more

I'm not a big pub food kinda guy but this pub really impressed me. Stopped in for a quick dinner and the place was packed. My buddy and I were looking for a filling dinner and a nice cocktail and we certainly found it here. Their mixologists know their stuff. Mine was a simple glass of rye whiskey and Corina pointed us in the right direction. Unfortunately I don't remember the name but it rivals Templeton rye. Now for dinner, my buddy had their grilled ham and cheese. He said it was one of the best he ever had. Sounds weird but it was more than it sounds. I opted for the Cobb salad. Very fresh ingredients and they helped me out and substituted feta for blue cheese. Perfect. By the way, they have many many beers on tap that you can sample as well as hard ciders besides a full bar. What I'm getting at here is that this is a fun place to have a drink and good quality pub food. Not greasy or sloppy but crisp and fresh. Nice to have a local pub that's not a dive bar but a family kinda place. As for the staff, really profession and friendly folks. Thanks again Corina for making us feel welcome. See you guys again soon! read more

New spot figured id try it.... shoulda went to severinos. First 1 star review ive ever given. CONS ___________ 20 mins to be acknowledged Hour for food (didnt order that much) Forgot one food item (sent to another table at the bar) When the food came it was nearly inedible - everything on the cheesesteak was burnt BLACK -the grilled onions were literally BLACK.. All of them -even black rubbed on the buns The fries were somehow burnt, yet soggy and tasted of old grease PROS _________ $2 Off beer If you are hungry I would avoid this place like the plague literally look at my picture and tell me that is a tall appetizing or Worth 16 bucks or whatever I haven't had never been this disappointed in my life I don't think except every time where I am now forced to drive by this establishment. However if you are a hipster looking for a place or you can just pop in and get an oatmeal stout pumpkin coffee double IPA real quick then this is a spot for you but again do not eat here if your life depends on it my stomach is still messed up and on a side note what kind of a chef that's that go out of his kitchen smh. read more
