Love the vibe hard to describe? great music. Appetizer of Calamari was delicious. The Bloody Mary was perfect. Our waitress Sydney provided above excellent service. The food was so good, I had Mike's Taco salad which was so very very good I had it with steak which was a meal in itself. Hubby had a super yummy steak with garlic fries and veggies prepared perfectly. I will definitely come back and highly recommend this place. Big bar for plenty big friends to join and lots of table seating. read more

It was very loud. I didn't appreciate sitting at the table next to a dog inside. The food was fair. The service was good, but it was so busy that the servers had not a moment to actually attend to a table. read more

Tried this place again. The ambiance is great, drinks are good, food? Not so good. Tried the wings again. They arrived luke warm and were really salty. I ordered the calamari tacos. Typical, over-fried frozen calamari. Good portion size, just not great. I will be back to have drinks but their food is sub-par at best. read more

In town on buisness looking for a local spot to try out. I came across this place on Yelp. I am very pleased that I did. We were immediately seated and given menus. The establishment was very clean and organized. Our waitress was very attentive and polite. We ended up ordering a pineapple Paloma, ceaser salad, chicken quesadilla and the one of the daily specials (salmon and shrimp chimichurri). Everything came out standing hot and fresh! We were very impressed with the house made sour cream and chimichurri. If you're thinking about trying place do yourself a favor and try them out immediately! read more

While the potions were large the taste wasn't quite up to par. The spicy chicken sandwich had no spice to it. The onion rings while large had fry oil dripping off them. Same with the fries. Both definitely needed more draining. The service was good and the ambiance too. read more

Visited on a busy Friday evening to this location for a late dinner. We were told a wait of 30 minutes (we didn't have a reservation) but wait was more like 10. The decor is def pub/sports bar vibes so it can be a little noisy. We were still able to have a conversation though. Service was pretty slow, even for menus and drinks, but the staff were really friendly and food was excellent. We had the chorizo cornbread, cali and pops burger with garlic fries. Probably the best tasting well seasoned and cooked burger I've had in a long time. Garlic fries were really tasty too! For drinks we had an Appletini which was so tasty and not too sweet. Dinner and drinks with an appetizer and entrees for 2 was about $100. Would eat here again. If you don't like to wait, recommend making a reservation. read more

Stopped here on our way to Los Angeles. We visited on a Friday afternoon around 2:30PM and there were only a handful of others at about 4 other tables and some folks at the bar. The food was quite tasty, and I think it's a really good value for what you get. I had the taco salad with shrimp and everything about it was amazing. The quality of the ingredients to the overall taste was spectacular. My partner had the Gilroy Garlic Burger with garlic fries. I can say that the fries were also spectacular and are a must try for anyone. We asked for the burger medium and it came out closer to medium-well/well done. It was still juicy, just not cooked to our preference. The burger itself was quite messy, but still good. Overall, the vibe of the restaurant is your typical sports bar with 8 TVs, a pool table, arcade machines, and what looks to be a DJ set up (maybe for weekend or other events they hold?) The tables were clear and very organized. I can see this place being a fun spot to go to on weekends with friends. If you like bar food, this place is a great choice! read more

Met with a friend here after some serious training. Food looked good on pictures and it had good reviews. Decided to try it out. Came here on a weekday around 5pm. Wasn't that full and got sat right away. It was happy hour we got a mai tai and some other alcohol beverage 3.5/5. We both order the same burger well done and the burger came out pretty good. read more

Went in for lunch after work and it wasn't busy so I was happy about that. Anyway, ordered the fish tacos appetizers as my meal because it came with three and I figured that would be a lot for 1 person as is. Boy was I right! These are 3 very generous portions of cod! Perfectly breaded, seasoned & fried. This is the kind of crunch I'd want on my fried chicken, and I can never find the perfect fried chicken in this town. But, I found the perfect breading on these tacos! Food was excellent. Waiter was friendly and accommodating. My significant other is on a special diet so I asked for just a regular plain cheeseburger with an unseasoned pattie & avocados and they delivered! (Not on the menu but ask & you shall receive) We were both very satisfied with our meals today and I can't keep thinking about those fish tacos because I have yet to find any in Gilroy that made me this happy! Pops is underrated and deserves more noise! BTW, reasonable priced too! Can't wait to go back and try other items on their menu! read more

We tried the Whiskey BBQ Burger, and it truly reminded me of what a real burger should taste and look like. It's a generous portion, so big that I split mine in half and still felt completely satisfied. The sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside and tender inside. An overall delicious experience! The cocktail menu offers plenty of creative options, and the bartender really knows their craft. I ordered one with a trendy name I can't quite remember, but it struck the perfect balance, not too strong, not too sweet, just smooth and well-made. They have a pool table, a few cool vintage arcade games, and lots of TVs. We went during the day but I can see it being a cool vibe at night. Definitely going back. read more

Pops is a couple of miles out of the way if you're on your way down south 101 elsewhere but worth the stop. The menu has a quite a selection to choose from, and the portions are quite ample. Recommend that you share. Our server Ashton was awesome. Prompt and gracious service. read more

The restaurant and bar has a pretty typical appearance, but is generally pretty clean. We went about 1pm on Saturday and they were pretty busy but there was no wait for the table. The server was patient and friendly. They came by often and the food was delivered very quickly. We got the garlic burger and garlic fries. Seriously this $25 monstrosity is good enough for two people. The garlic everything was fresh and well cooked. The burger, bun, fries and practically everything was layered with garlic (just as we wanted it). Anyway, great food and excellent service. read more

I am rewarding this place with a 4 star review because I need a reason to come back to give them their rightful 5 stars..lol! We decided to stop here on our way to Los Banos. On a wet Friday evening we knew what awaited us on 152. There was an hour wait so I was glad that I called in the reservation on our way there. It is nestled in a large shopping center so there is plenty of parking. A bit a ways away from the freeway but pretty worth it. It is not too far from Gilroy Gardens so if you want to grab dinner on the way out this would be a great stop. We were greeted with a smile and sat right away with our menu's. I however, knew what I wanted. I ordered their fish and chips which came with either a soup or a salad. There were a few soup options but I HAD to order the clam chowder. My husband ordered their Pop's Pub Burger which came with a side salad and his choice of fries or onion rings. He opted for the onion rings. We knew better than to order apps. Pop's serves TWO 1/3 patties on their burgers and with a heavy soup like clam chowder on top of the fries and fish I ordered, we knew it would warrant then wheeling us out on a stretcher if we tried an app. Clam chowder was delicious. Hot, creamy and it had large pieces of clams in it. It wasn't overpowered by potatoes and had a pretty good potato to clam ratio...lol! My husband's burger was huge and he said it was a really good burger. His onions rings were crisp and paired perfectly. My order came with 2 large pieces of fish fried crisp and inside the fish was white and flaky. My fries were seasoned and fried crispy. I think tartar sauce was made in-house and it too was yum. We'll be back! read more

My friend and I tried Pop's today for lunch, and we both decided we'll be back soon. The food was yummy and the portions very generous. It was the staff, though, that really made the experience for us. Our server was SO nice! read more

Delicious ahi nachos! Very big portion and lots of ahi tuna. It's definitely a good appetizer dish to share. The taco salad was also very yummy and it was huge. The steak in the taco salad was cooked a bit too long for me but the overall salad was great. Came back another time and had the wedge salad- also really good with the blue cheese. Would def come back to this spot for the food. read more

Stopped by for lunch on a road trip to San Francisco. We were seated immediately, and the server was super helpful. Ordered the chorizo corn bread, and it was unexpectedly good, with plenty of honey and butter. My son ordered the cheeseburger salad and it was huge and tasty. I ordered the Corned beef burrito - holy crap was that good. I would definitely stop by again to try some other dishes. The only low spot of the visit was the mens room. The floor was sticky and it needed a thorough cleaning. read more

Went again with my family. I'll say 3 stars is safe. The potato soup was different tonight and imo not as good. There was no bacon tonight. Last visit I got the steak tacos and they were bomb! This time I got the chickens and they are not as good. Huge chunks of dry chicken breast. It was eatable but it was not great. My husband got the whiskey huger. One odd thing is he didn't ask what temp he wanted the burger so it came out well done. It's huge. You definitely need to smoosh it down to fit it in your mouth. The flavor was very good! They whisky sauce is on point but I'd clean up the burger. (No American cheese, ask what temp, not so much onions) We'll give it a third try. I hope it's as good as the first time. read more

we shared the garlic fries and they were incredibly crispy and fresh. the fish and chips had a great batter that crunched with every bite.

So far everything I've tasted on fine menu was delicious! My friend and I ordered the pub cheeseburger told them we were sharing so they cut it in half for us. We added garlic aioli which gave it the perfect taste! Upgraded to garlic fries yummm All the drinks had beautiful presentations. They have a shuffle board table, pool table, & golf simulator game in their lounge area with comfy couches. read more

This was an easy 5 stars. The place is nice. Plenty of TV's. Staff is friendly. Started with a Ronny drink but swapped out vodka for gin. They don't skimp on the pours. As for the meals, they were excellent. The burgers are HUGE. Despite that, my son polished it off in under 5 minutes. The fried pickles and ahi tuna nachos were also great. It's one of those places where the prices are a little high, but the food and staff justifies the cost. read more

Great place to have a get together with family and friends. We came on a Tuesday where they have taco Tuesdays and they serve 2 tacos with choice of beef, calamari, and fish I believe served with beer. It was excellent! Service was great and quick. They have large tv screens to watch the game and a game area as well. They have a full bar and great selection of foods. We tried their Margarita Flight which was super good. We tried also their steak and also their salmon and shrimp. Their shrimp was super good. Had a good kick but not spicy. Their churros was also very good and served with chocolate dipping sauce and vanilla ice cream. read more

The food was delicious. The tortilla soup was wonderful! The house salad consisted of good lettuce, baby toms, sliced radicchio rounds, and amazing corn bread croutons but the house dressing is a pass. The Irish burrito with corned beef was creative, and had a little kick. The side dish of beans were . They were very busy, and the service was slow but they were nice.

2 stars After leaving an event in San Martin on a very warm Saturday late morning decided to check out the business that replaced the Irish pub (Claddagh) in Gilroy. This business is in a strip mall with a few restaurants and businesses. Lots of parking, which is a plus. I wanted to experience the fish and chips. And to summit up, it was no Bueno. In a nutshell the outer coating and seasoning was very bland, fish coating was well fried but it was dry, old and the fish amount or quantity was minimal. It reminded me of frozen fish sticks but bigger than grocery store fish planks or portions. Perhaps I received a bad batch. but i immediately tasted while in the car as it was a take out order and I wanted .to get a true opinion. The "chips" aka fries were above average and Fried well. If you like Fish n Chips, I'd say Don't come here. Sorry Pop ! I really wanted to like it. 2 stars are for the friendly order taker. read more

$14 per glass of house Chardonnay?! The bbq salad was amazing. The chicken was cooked very well. Too bad the pieces were very large. The amount of food on the plate was not needed. I ate a fourth of it and was stuffed. Please create smaller portions. I felt horrible getting a togo box for a salad. It won't be eaten again, just a waste of food. read more
