Nice atmosphere to gather and socialize. Lots of places to call your own, if even for a little while.

I visited with my friend Olga's book club for a book club discussion on Tuesday evening, 20 January 2026. My group were supposed to go to Habesha Ethiopian restaurant for dinner and book club but they were closed so we found ourselves at PJ's Irish Pub. AMBIANCE -- Dimmer light but not too dark inside. Typical, traditional bar look and feel. Lots of booth tables plus a center bar area with chairs around it. DRINKS -- I don't drink alcohol so I can't comment on their drink offerings but considering that this is an Irish Pub, they must have lots of options to choose from such as beer. FOOD -- Their menu is large with dishes such as pot pie, tacos, meatloaf, etc. I didn't want to spend a lot of money so I just ordered 2 beef tacos that came with tomatoes but I forgot to ask for it to come without cheese. So, I had to remove the shredded cheese from it. There was a lot of cheese on the tacos too. The tacos were fine - simple enough and the beef tasted just right. This pub is probably more known for their drinks but I may be wrong. Everyone on my table seemed to enjoy their dinner. I noticed someone ordered meatloaf, another for a chicken pot pie, another had a big plate of broccoli with something else (the broccoli looked tasty), and so on. SERVICE (5/5) -- our group was treated well. We were greeted upon walking in plus our server took our orders at a reasonable time. PARKING -- Not the best like most places in the area because it is street parking only but I was very lucky to find a street parking spot right in the front of the pub. You can probably park at the shopping district parking lot across the street where a gas station is located. Overall, although I wasn't expecting to even visit PJ McIntyre's Irish Pub on that cold January evening, it was a nice enough experience (mostly FUN because of the book club group rather than the food). The beef tacos that I ordered were fine and a fair price (around $6.50 total). I most likely won't be back since I don't drink alcohol and I hardly visit pubs or bars for dinner. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 11/250 total reviews in 2026 - 852 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 27 February 2026 read more

I was there for my Sister's surprise 60th Birthday party. The food and drinks were great. That was the first time I'd had Irish egg rolls (wontons). DELICIOUS! The service was great also. read more

Good food great bartenders and a fun spot to watch a game. Parking is easy in the back

Our family reserved part of PJ's event space for a birthday party. Our experience was excellent! Prior to the actual event, their event stuff was super helpful and communicative throughout the process and was very responsive via email. On the day of the event, the staff was incredibly kind and helpful. They were very accommodating of us bringing in dessert, appetizers, and decorations. The staff even volunteered to help us set up. During the event everything came out exactly as planned. The staff was invisibly attentive to our party, tending to our guests, and bringing everything out on time. Would definitely recommend an event here, great experience! read more

It's just dang good. Service is good, beers are good, food is good. Inside is all dark old wood and stained glass. I usually get a Guinness and some kind of appetizer and it's delish. Prices are fair. I travelled to Ireland this year and this is one of the places that reminds me of being back there. Great pub read more

Alr was good, food good, atmosphere busy and loud but good. It's an Irish bar and I tried Irish ale.

PJ McIntyres is our go-to spot in our neighborhood. They are pretty consistent with quality, service, pricing, portion. We also get take out quite often. I love their Irish Reuben egg rolls! The California sandwich is very good too. If you get the homemade chips as a side, order a side of the onion dip too- fantastic! Great menu, lots of delicious food to choose from. The ambiance is what makes this my favorite. The fireplace keeps it cozy, trivia and events keep it friendly. The bar is always bustling with new friends to meet. read more

A go to spot for drinks and food in west park. Full bar. Love both the spinach art and buffalo dips (with the boxty). Of course the famous Ruben egg rolls too. Weekly specials are great deals. Attended several events in the party room downstairs. Ample space and love that it has its own bar area. read more

Dry tasteless corned beef sandwich. The tater tots were terrible too! Don't waste your money on this inedible food!

Another Cleveland living legend. Pat Campbell runs the most legit Irish Pub/American restaurant/Live music venue in town. This is NOT up for debate. There's an Irish dance studio upstairs. They've got a full selection on every damn Irish whiskey (even the good stuff) Smithwick's is a standard here. Live music every week. I've been to a Hooley or 2 here. They also show EVERY Celtic game! As well as other crowd faves like MU and Arsenal. The food is more than just American bar food. They've got some amazing twists on classic Irish fare, like the Boxty. (It is a must try) Pat's bartenders, servers, kitchen staff and bar backs are constantly hustling. Service is always friendly, quick and accurate. They never let my drink go empty. read more

I'm from Tampa and found this amazing pub just north of the airport. Great vib, wonderful beer selection and the Pot Roast was wonderful. Portion was enough for 2! I'll be back when I'm in town. read more

I like this place a lot and have been many times. Check out the Shepherds Pie, it's my favorite in Cleveland... and even rivals the ones I have had in Dublin Ireland. Great place, good service and good food! I recommend! read more

Food was amazing, prices were good, service was terrible. Our server checked in like once every half hour. We came in around 5:30 ordered two drinks and some food. One of our drinks didn't count for happy hour but apparently one of our drinks did not count but our server failed to inform us. We enjoyed our food and when my boyfriend asked for a beer refill the server immediately left to refilled both our drinks and didn't give me time to ask to swap for a water. We asked for our bill and boxes to wait half an hour before our server came to ask if we were ready for the bill again. When we finally got our bill i was confused why my drink price went up for my second. The server told me happy hour had ended and i asked why it wasn't applied to my boyfriends drink and the server began to raise his voice and cause a scene saying he could refund the dollar. When he dropped the correct bill he rudely pointed out he took off exactly one dollar. I dont care about the dollar but check in on your customers and keep them informed on what deals are valid and when they end without attitude. Other establishments I visit train their staff to inform customers when deals might make charges vary on their bill. read more

We love PJs most of the year, but we especially love it on St. Paddy's Day! It is always such a joy coming here and taking in the fun environment. We were lucky enough to have a seat at the bar and our server (I think it was Alisha) was absolutely amazing and fast, even when it got crazy busy. My only ask for next year is to have fish and chips as something you can order as well as the Irish breakfast until 11am. We left early because we were starving (we didn't want Irish breakfast) and couldn't wait until the 2pm start time. read more

Great Irish pub. I really love the fact that they have a jukebox To play music while you enjoy a nice cold beer. Fried pickles were amazing, wings were hot in the outside but once I took a bite, they were cold. They probably just microwaved them I was disappointed being a chicken wings fan. I will still come back and try more stuff in the menu, still a cool place to hang out read more

Another great neighborhood pub. Food is great. Traditional Irish fare like Shepherd's Pie and bar food selections. Salads, Sandwiches, the BEST Spinach Artichoke dip in town. Full bar with lots of draft choices. Absolutely wonderful party room (you won't even know you're in the basement). We had such a great bartender/waitress for our gathering. Small parking lot in back. Casual crowd. Place gets a bit loud but after all, it's a pub! read more

The food is always consistent and the Guiness reminds me of a pour from Ireland. The daily specials are always spot on.

Excellent food with generous portions, with several traditional Irish plates. Friendly and welcoming staff. Great daily specials. The atmosphere is proudly Irish. read more

Great food and service. Huge portions...we got buffalo mac n cheese, potatoe pancakes with chicken and chicken club wrap. All of it was so good and portions were big enough we only ate half. Also we got a huge piece of bread Pudding big enough for 3 or 4. Will definitely recommend and return. read more

EVERYTHING WAS OUTSTANDING! We shall be returning again soon. Our meatloaf, mashed potatoes and fresh broccoli were all so good as were our Irish Coffees. Our server and other staff were also really nice and attentive. read more

Great local bar with a neighborhood feel. If you're in the mood for hearty Irish food or quality bar food then this is a place you should check out. A large bar located in the center of the pub and enough seating for any sized party. The service is great and I was pleased that we didn't wait long to get our food. I came in here for lunch mid week and grabbed a seat at the bar. I wasn't feeling a heavy meal, so I went with the Buffalo chicken wrap with fried chicken. The wrap came with chips. read more

Warm, welcoming, authentic, often open- everything you want and need in a pub. They've won my loyalty for friendly service and good food, plus a cozy atmosphere. Will return, will recommend. Plus, a great $7 Monday burger special- wow! read more

The Reuben was quite good. The Black & Tan Onion Rings were stellar! Perhaps the best I've had yet. The batter (yes batter, not breaded), had a slight sweet flavor. They were even nice to look at with a slight tiger striping. Just two dessert options. I opted for the Toffee Pudding dessert as recommended by our waitress. Eh. Was moist, but as for flavor? It was sweet, but other than that was pretty flavorless, except for a slight bitterness at the end of the bite. I wouldn't order it again, and that was the overall consensus from all four of us at the table. read more

Coming here is always a lively, good time! Be sure to stop in on a night with live music. The bands create a fun atmosphere and the crowd is generally upbeat. The crowd also runs the gamut age-wise, so good people-watching is pretty much guaranteed! The staff is efficient, professional, and attentive ... and the food is pretty good. read more

Truly authentic Shepard's Pie. This stuff is no joke. No other place comes close. The lobster bisque is rich, flavorful and meaty. And the curry and chips are a must have snack with a beer. The service friendly, knowledge and energetic. If you are in the area this is a must go. Family friendly too!! read more

This place hits all the marks for an Irish pub! Friendly staff, great food, large bar, great draft and bottle offerings and a vibe like nowhere else. read more

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT. I was craving spinach and artichoke dip and good comfort food and this played DID JUST THAT. The dip was delicious and I wish I could've taken 10 servings home just for myself and not for my boyfriend. My meatloaf dinner was also SMACK. The mashed potatoes, meat and vegetable were all incredible! My boyfriend's Reuben was also great and the servings were more than generous. Overall the vibes were 10/10 and the experience was a 12/10. I recommend this place! read more

My husband and I really enjoy PJ McIntyre's. The food has been excellent each time we've eaten there, and the service has always been friendly (although sometimes delayed at the bar area). Having traveled throughout Ireland multiple times, I can say that this pub really reminds me of some of the larger pubs I've been to. And, unlike many American-Irish 'pubs' that serve soggy bar food, the food here is GOOD! They definitely have an American spin on things, but they bring in Irish influences like rashers (Irish bacon similar to Canadian bacon), shepherd's pie, and fish and chips. The tables are well stocked with HP sauce and malt vinegar, which are a must at any respectable pub! The decor is beautiful inside, especially the area where you may have session music players gather certain nights. There are lovely murals, stone work, tile floors with Celtic designs, and, of course, the odd Guinness memorabilia on the walls. It has just the right level of not too bright, not too dimly lit inside as well. The bar CAN get a bit loud and rowdy, so just keep that in mind for when you go for dinner in the evening. All in all, we definitely recommend this place and will come back with friends and family! read more

What gem! Great food, fantastic service & perfectly mixed drinks! The ambience is amazing as well with the Irish music playing. Definitely a place to check out & one you do, you will return again!' read more

I don't go to PJs very often so the poor service and burned food might be an isolated incident. My friend and I both ordered a Boxty. When these were brought to the table, hers was somewhat burned on the inside of the potato pancake, and mine was completely burned on the outside and partially on the inside. It was so burned you could smell it in the air. We had to send it back because it was inedible and when the waitress brought it back, mine was still burned on the inside and partially on the outside. If I had been there alone, I would've refused it and paid for my beer and left, but I didn't want to cause a scene. I had to peel the burned pancake off and take the inside out, which tasted very strange since it har obviously been cooked twice , first when they burned it the first time and then they cooked it again when they burned it the second time. The Swiss cheese had a weird rubbery consistency because of it. I was really surprised that the waitress was able to bring it back to the table when it was visibly burned again. Unbelievable. It's really a shame because it use to be my favorite place at Kamms. I won't be back. I forgot to mention it cost 15.95 and they applied a 3.10 discount to both of our Boxtys. I can't believe they charged us anything., especially since my plate was covered with burned food when they cleared the table. By the way we still gave the waitress a 20% tip. I'm not sure why and I regretted it afterwards. Beware of the Boxty. read more

This is a visually appealing and comfortable bar and restaurant. The night we were there it was a busy Saturday and the staff was very busy yet able to retain a welcoming level of service. They were hosting some kind of party celebrating an anniversary or milestone and there was a small buffet of free appetizers. This was a happy surprise and they welcomed us to the free food. So nice!!! We sampled meatballs, nachos and chicken wings. Not sure if any or all of these is on the menu. I also ordered the Irish egg rolls and saved room for bread pudding off the menu. Was happy with everything and appreciated the friendly service. read more

So PJ McIntyres is a mixed bag for me. I will give the pro's and con's of the restaurant before giving thoughts on all the wings we had. Pro's -Post COVID they are doing a great job providing a safe place for people to eat. Tables are distanced appropriately, servers are wearing masks, and sanitizer around the restaurant/bar. -Solid patio to eat outside safely. Also sight seeing some of West Park's finest including a homeless person trying to barter with me on what wings I would give them is always fun. -Good service provided with tons of deals and affordable prices. Daily deals for both food and drink. Con's -Server knowledge of food. I think the servers provided us great service and timeliness, but their knowledge of some of the food was lacking. I consider Cleveland to be a bit of a wing city and they couldn't really articulate some of the wing flavors and the spice levels. I think they could use some time on the next Lakewood Wing Crawl to broaden their taste buds. -Some of the food just wasn't very good, tasting bland or lacking unique flavors. Wing Rankings of the 5 tasted 1. Hot Garlic Parmesan - great great wing. Pretty crispy with the wing sauce being more creamy than hot. The combination left a good taste on the palette and would definitely try again. 2. Cajun (Wet) - surprisingly very good. Some wet Cajun wings lose all the heat from the cajun seasoning which this did not. Think cajun dry rub plus hot wing and that is what this is. Would definitely get again. 3. Buffalo - standard fare buffalo wing which had the spice level of a low medium wing. Nothing offensive nor spectacular. Would get if getting multiple flavors as just about anyone would eat it. 4. Mango Habanero - they should drop the habanero off this wing as I tasted none of that on the wing. For a Mango wing it wasn't bad but not what I expected or wanted. Wouldn't get again. 5. Stingin Honey Garlic - similar to the previous wing there were multiple flavors missing on this. I tasted no Garlic and definitely had no "sting". Honey wing that was pretty sweet. Would never try again read more

My family is from Ireland and I've spent some good time there. This by far is the best Irish food (at least the Irish Breakfast) in Ohio. Great local business and they definitely support their first responders. Love this place and can't wait to go back. read more

My fiancé and I just moved to Kamm's Corners. We decided to celebrate our first day in the neighborhood by eating lunch at this pub. It was around 1:30 PM, and not too busy. Our waitress was slow and disinterested in serving us. When I asked her for a beer menu, she rudely and sarcastically barked at me... My fiancé and I were flabbergasted, and immediately asked for the check to pay for her coke to leave. Where did you find such a disgusting person to represent your business? Why would you have her treating your customers with such contempt? You need to be professional and courteous, or at least be efficient. We won't be coming back. read more

Great food with an Irish flair, PJ McIntyres has been a staple in the Cleveland Area for years. Really enjoyed our experience there, with my favorite being the English Breakfast with so much food that you can't believe it:) They also have a very well stocked bar, and a warm, homey atmosphere that really makes this a comfortable place to meet up with friends and folks and just have a nice snack and a conversation. Lots of out outside parking and good hours make this a place that I stop at whenever I'm in the area, so, If you're looking for a treat, and a good place to eat, try PJ McIntyres, they're hard to beat:) read more

Only follow COVID protocols when it's convenient for them. Said that they were "at capacity" even when herds of people left. They obviously weren't following COVID protocols strictly if the ratio was so far off. I witnessed the bouncer allow certain people in while telling others they were full. Tells me they were using this as an excuse to enforce a discrimination of who they want inside read more
