    Popped into St. Stephens for a quick pint of Guinness and was happy with it. Proper glass, proper pour, and a nice creamy refreshing pint. There is lots of seating outside in the street since the main road is closed to cars. Inside, there is a big bar with plenty of tables throughout the space and lots of TVs, making it an easy spot to watch a game. The vibe inside felt a little quiet when we were there. A few people were on laptops and there was not much conversation, so it felt more mellow than lively. Service was great. Kind, quick, and easy. A solid spot to stop in for a good Guinness and relaxed atmosphere.

    Ultimate Fish & Chips

    I've been here before for Happy Hour, but this is the first time I came solely for the food. Let me tell you it was worth the trip! Their Fish & Chips hit the spot, crispy and tender fish & chips. As you can see the fish is a big portion, we actually got 3 orders and they were all consistently sized. The other item (no photo) was also delicious, the Guinness steak pie. Service was great, love that they had lots of seating outside if you don't like the dark ambiance inside.

    Visited this pub for mother's day drag brunch, and the performances paired so well with the great food. Ordered some pretzels, fish and chips, and a full Irish breakfast. The pretzels were really soft and I liked the cheese sauce that came with it. The fish and chips were a little expensive, but it came with a pretty big fillet. It was a little overcooked though. The breakfast was pretty standard.

    Went to Stevie's for the Champions League final. Paid the cover! Fortunately I had cash - me the CC processing fee! It was a great atmosphere. Lots of people. Lots of TVs. Very energetic crowd. Got an Irish Breakfast. YUM! 10/10 recommend. The bartenders were super attentive and nice. Had an Irish Coffee. Forgot to take a photo but it was delish. Thanks for a fun time.

    One of my favorite pubs on the Peninsula and definitely a place on my list when I am in Mt. View. I remember going their regularly in the 90s. Besides the big LCD TVs, it remains the same. It still feels like a place where locals go. After trying to walk off fried calamari, burgers and beers, me and a buddy decided to have another beer at SSG. Nice. I hadn't been there in a little while and it was a reminder to keep it fresh in the memory bank. We got to catch up for a while and talk about days gone by. The place wasn't crowded and it allowed for an easy conversation without having to shout. Oh, yeah. Here's a pic.

    This really should be a higher rating for the food, but because of serious service issues I have to knock this down a notch. A group of six of us came here on the day of the German Christmas market. We originally intended to pick up some Wurst or Schnitzel at the market, but the lines were really long and we thought we could get a quicker meal in a more comfortable environment by walking down Castro a bit. We came across this place, and while it wasn't the Teutonic fare that we had planned to eat the menu seemed interesting. Though Castro was quite crowded with people, there was ample seating when we arrived shortly after 1pm. We had our choice of tables and scrounged up a couple menus. There are certainly a lot of Irish and British choices with a few outliers (e.g. fish tacos and a quinoa bowl), and we made our selections carefully, then waited for someone to come take our order. And that was a problem. There was only a single server working the entire dining room, and she had to clear tables, take orders, and deliver food and drinks to the customers. After a good long while (over 15 minutes after sitting down), I approached the server to let her know that we were ready to place our order. She was very sweet and apologized, but it still took a while for her to make it to our table. We placed our order and she disappeared into the dining area, which was starting to fill up quite quickly. We chatted and watched some of the games on the many televisions as we waited for our food to arrive. But that was another very long wait. In the end, it was well over an hour from when we entered to our meals to land on our table. But the food was very good. I got the Guinness steak pie which had a nice flaky top crust and was filled with large tender chunks of steak and served with a side of fresh steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes. The gravy was rich and flavorful with a hint of malt from the beer. I had the opportunity to try the jumbo Irish breakfast roll, which was also quite good. We shared a side of lemon almond Brussels sprouts which was crispy and flavorful, but I missed the opportunity to sample the Scotch eggs that looked fantastic and received glowing reviews from my companions. The fish tacos got a bit of a meh reception from the person who ordered it. By the time we left, we had spent over two hours at the restaurant. It was a good opportunity to catch up, but we were quite famished when we arrived (especially the two people who had run a 15k race earlier in the day) and we would have preferred faster service. But this was certainly not the fault of the lone server on the floor. Despite the crowd, she kept her composure and was always smiling. We gave her a hefty tip for her hard work. I put the blame on the restaurant manager for not having more staff both in the front and back of the house. Would I come back again? Probably, if I know in advance that I have the time to spend here. After all, I still need to try those Scotch eggs.

    differential cover charge prices.

    I go here a fair bit - only because the bar staff are great - they make up a bit for the management, quality, and overall attitude at the place though. Recently, I went there to watch the Champions league final. Arrived during the half time around 10am and they were charging $20 cash or $25 for card. A bit steep, but I didn't push on it. I asked if I could check if there is space inside first and they rudely refused - again not a big deal. Getting their high from acting like they are night club bouncers. I paid the cover and then sat outside. It wasn't very busy but took forever to order - wait staff just hanging out watching the game rather than serving. But where it went overboard - after 5 minutes of paying the cover, they removed the cover charge stand and people came and sat for free ordering nothing even for the whole game. Blocking views, drinking water. At the end of the game and settling my bill, I mentioned the issues to the manager. Their response: We charge an extra $5 for credit card, because of the fees -- that is a straight lie. He wants to claim credit card companies charge a 25% surcharges? I joked about it and then mentioned the cover charge going away, and they said 'we always remove the cover after half time'. I suggested that maybe to be friendly to customers, mention that if they just wait a couple minutes, the cover will go away. Their response: 'why would we do that if we can make money. Too bad for you'. The management have always been crusty at this place, but this was beyond what I would have expected at all. A normal person would say something like 'yeah that kinda sucks, can I get you a beer? or fries'. Or even just acknowledge it. but that last answer basically summarizes the attitude of the management and thinking on service. 'too bad for you'. I'd pass on this place for games - there are better places to go.

    Chicken Curry Dinner
    Meltem O.

    We had discovered this place during the Mountain View Taste event and loved the shepherd's pie and the cozy vibe, so my friend planned a surprise birthday dinner for me here. Sadly, the nice ambiance pretty much ended at the entrance. The shepherd's pie was still incredible--honestly, one of the best I've ever had. But the curry chicken wasn't our thing at all. It was way too sweet for our taste. Maybe that's how it's meant to be, considering it's an Irish pub, but still, it didn't work for us. To be fair, they let us change the dish without charging extra, which we appreciated. The portions were big and hot, so food-wise we were fine. But the AC in our section wasn't on. It was there, just not running. We had to ask for it to be turned on, which felt unnecessary in the middle of summer--it was hot and stuffy until then. Service was pretty slow. Our server was nice, but he spent way too much time chatting at the bar. One of our beers sat there for 10 minutes while he talked, and my friend ended up grabbing it herself. And the biggest disappointment? The surprise cake. We were just stepping outside for a breath of fresh air and were planning to come right back. But the server ran after us and said, "Wait! I'm bringing the birthday cake!" So... that was the surprise. Ruined. And yep, I was the birthday girl. We ended up leaving and going to Eureka afterward--and honestly, we wished we had just gone there from the start.

    Really cozy spot with a classic pub atmosphere. Plenty of TVs if you're into watching sports, and the beer selection is solid. I tried the fish & chips -- super crispy and golden, though it could've used a bit more seasoning. Still enjoyable overall. Service was a little slow, but the staff were warm and welcoming, which made up for it. Great place to hang out casually. Would definitely come back for the vibes and a drink!

    Fish & Chips
    Mark T.

    4/3/2025 St. Stephen's Green 223 Castro St Mountain View, CA 94041 I went there on a Thursday afternoon to try their Happy Hour. The Happy Hour menu is extensive and includes the Fish and Chips. It's at the north end of Castro St. with standard city lots or parking structures nearby. The interior had the dim, cozy pub feeling similar to my experiences in the UK. Since I was a single I sat at the bar and ordered the Fish & Chips and an Oakland stout from the Super Happy Hour menu. The beer was about a half pint and very smooth and tasty. My food was brought to me by one of the kitchen staff. The filet was huge on a generous bed of fries. The thicker part my fish was extra crispy and when it got cold was hard as a rock. The fish itself appears to be frozen, some parts were flaky and some parts mushy. The Happy Hour was an okay value but I would try something else a next time. Definitely would not get the Fish & Chips again.

So definitely no complaints. The venue itself is great, surprisingly kids friendly (lots of games and things to do), food (primarily Mexican) is excellent, beer and alcohol selection superb, probably a really good place to watch San Jose Sharks games and the Caddy Shack photos in the bathroom was a nice touch. Also, I have to add that ahead of the Super Bowl I called and visited a couple of times, and the staff was very helpful. So overall, very happy with the experience and would highly recommend. Hope to be back again sometime in the future.

Even the little sweets at the end felt special. Great wine selection too, which made it perfect for an anniversary dinner. Service was polished, attentive, and professional without feeling overly formal or uncomfortable. The only downside was the reservation/seating situation. We weren't able to get reservations and ended up seated outside on a pretty cold evening. Thankfully the heaters helped a lot, so it was still comfortable, but it did feel a little odd seeing the dining room only about half full while outdoor guests stayed outside. Also worth mentioning: this place is definitely pricey. Not somewhere we'd casually stop into on a random Tuesday. But for a special occasion like an anniversary, the overall experience, atmosphere, presentation, and quality made it feel worth it. We'd absolutely come back again -- just with reservations next time.

First night was a Thursday. I ordered the fish and chips which were ok. Nothing spectacular. The scene was dead and there was maybe only 7-10 other people in the entire pub. Second night I came was on a Saturday. I only ordered drinks. There was a bigger crowd but barely, 15-20 people. Overall my opinion of this place is positive and yet I was disappointed that it wasn't better. It's in a great location. There's hotels and condominiums in the area all within walking distance. The atmosphere is great. The staff is awesome! It has so many positive aspects that should make it a regular hangout spot but for some reason it's failing. I'm giving it 5 stars because I feel it deserves better. People should give this place a shot. There is a dart board that is free to play which I think is awesome. A big patio area for large parties. The beer prices are very reasonable. Suggestion to the establishment: They have an AMI juke box, but on both nights the volume was turned down pretty low which kind of made me feel like I wasn't getting my money's worth. Turn it up!!! This place needs to figure out if it wants to be a restaurant that serves beer or be a bar that serves food. Personally I think it needs to realize that it needs to focus on being a bar. There's 15 other restaurants within walking distance from here and that food is 100 times better. This place should focus on getting the customers that leave those restaurants for after meal drinks.
