Wonderful spot. Great food-really enjoyed the cobbler special with blackberries. Fun to watch world cup here

Happy Hour prices were good. Bartender was super friendly. Very local vibe, which is cool. Fish and chips were average but cocktails were good. read more

T.C. O'Leary's - Fish and Chips - Irish Pub Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Cute local Irish bar. This is the perfect kind of place to just stumble upon. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. You could just tell that this is where the neighborhood gathers. Bartender was super nice and speedy. Very friendly and accommodating our requests. Decent drink selection. Order the fish and chips and burger. Burger was excellent, just eat it quickly the bottom bun gets soggy fast. Fish and chips were okay, the starter sauce needed sone kind of citrus. The fries were perfection. Will be back. read more

T.C. O'Leary's - Veggie burger, Guinness, salad - Irish Pub Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Stopped in for a beverage on a hot day because we had some time to kill before a concert. Bar was clean, staff was nice. I asked if they could make a spicy margarita and the bartender said he wasn't able to because they didn't have the right ingredients, but was told they could make a regular margarita. Got my drink and it was not good at all. It also took while, as I don't think he knew what he was doing or how to make it. My husband got one of the cocktails off their menu that had tequila in it and it was good. Very refreshing. Not too sure yet if I'll return. read more

Where to begin... the atmosphere is one of a kind, the food is fantastic, the Guinness best in the city, and if you are a Irish Rugby fan its a must. The staff from top down are also incredible: Tom, Angela, Dane, Brie, Nick, Meghan, to only mention a few. read more

I feel compelled to state that I generally despise pubs, so I'm more surprised than anybody to find that I actually LOVE T.C. O'Leary's! I came here to see a jazz guitarist and singer perform, and was seated at the tiny two-top table immediately in front of the performing area. This made for a very enjoyable show. The interior is very charming, and feels immediately comforting and "homey". There are few non-alcoholic beverages on offer, consisting of CBD beverages (not interested) and a few non-alcoholic beers. I opted for the latter, and an order of fish and chips. The bartender who took my order and delivered it to my table was extremely friendly and helpful. The fish and chips come in a cone, with the fish on top. The bartender recommended that I take the cone off of the plate, put the fish on the plate, and eat it that way. I'm happy for the recommendation as I'd probably not have thought of that, and it made eating it far easier. The fish and chips were served piping hot, crispy, and deliciously flavorful. Between musician's sets, the owner (Tom O'Leary) plays music over the house speakers, and plays some AMAZINGLY great stuff (I'd never heard Inspiral Carpets in any public establishment anywhere until I came here). I've never been to a pub in Ireland, but if this is what they're like, I TOTALLY get the appeal! T.C. O'Leary's is an awesome pub, and I'm really looking forward to my next visit. read more

It's definitely an Irish bar. There was a band playing Irish folk music when I came in. The group looked like a meetup group. If you're looking for an Irish pub ambiance, you'll definitely find it here. Much more intimate than Kells or Thirsty Lions. read more

I've been coming here for a few years and love this place! Everyone is so friendly, and the food is delicious. My friends and I come for their Irish NYE event which is just so much fun.

Food good to excellent. Service cooperative knowing we were going to Alberta Rose across the street.

Stopped in on a Mon eve. Live music at 8 we heard but we were too tired to stay for it. Order at the bar for cocktails and food. Tell them your table number. We just stayed for one round of drinks...all were very good. Our table had a martini, old fashioned, lemon drop, and butter rum. Also shared the Guinness brownie with ice cream. The brownie was amazing. Not dry, sweet, perfect. Nice spot to dip in for a bit. Friendly environment! read more

Place was packed to the gills at about 5 on a Thursday during HH (3-6). Very rowdy and divey not good for big groups. I got the HH special fish n chips for $9 which is 2 pc fish. The fish was thick pieces & good tho, probly my 2nd or 3rd fav fish n chips I've tried. I usually prefer the crunchier thicker type breading but this was the smoother lighter type breading but it was very good. Since I'm a lighter eater this was a solid lunch for me. I also got the pickled eggs as well which were good but nothing spectacular. They cut them in half and serve em w/ arugula instead of just grabbing the whole egg out of the jar and hanging it to you which is how I like it, plus it's $8 for 2 eggs, the last bar I saw w/ pickled eggs charged $1 per egg but granted that was before this whole bird flu thing. read more

Great food, good service, friendly atmosphere all come together here. If you are lucky enough to go when there is music it is an added treat. read more

So-so experience. Fish and chips were truly awful - akin to frozen fish sticks from Winco. I don't know how an Irish pub gets this staple dish so wrong. (Horse Brass and Moon/Sixpence has proper F&C). Bizarrely large "merch" section next to the bar. Bartender, beer, and music were great. read more

Felt safer here than anywhere I've been (other than home) since the pandemic. You only get inside with proof of vaccination- and THAT is how you take care of your patrons (and staff!) Not to mention fantastic music, authentic fish and chips, great dessert, huge Whisky wall.... Can't go wrong. Glad we came here for the Solstice. And we'll be back. Because they care. read more

My boyfriend picked up a dry burger for me on his way home yesterday at around 4:30. This is definitely NOT medium, it was so raw in the middle that the guy who eats everything, my boyfriend, wouldn't even touch it. I called and left a polite voicemail and still haven't heard back... Edit for update: Heard back and the customer service was above and beyond! Our remade burgers were so good we ate them too fast to get a picture! Highly recommend them! read more

This place is great. I know, probably everybody says that, but seriously. They've got real (European formula) Guinness on tap, the food is all delicious, and they're staffed with some of the friendliest people in town! I'd had this place on my list for quite a while prior to the pandemic (I walked by right before they opened) and only ould make my way here post-pandemic reopening. Those summer months were a little rough, as they were understaffed (I was told the owner was actually doing all the cooking) so the menu had been cut way down, but everything was as delicious then as it is now. Last night (a Wednesday) a friend and I popped in around 530pm for a bite and a pint. Between the two of us, we ordered the steak frites special, the brussel sprouts special, a shepherd's pie, and an order of seafood chowder to go (served cold to be reheated at home), plus two pints of Guinness. Everything was delicious! The steak super tender and perfectly done to medium-rare, the sprouts were crunchy and not soggy like a lit of other places end up, and the pie was great too! The outdoor seating in front is one of those shed things in the street parking spaces that most restaurants have, but they've put one of those fancy flame tower heaters in it so it's nice and cozy. When the weather is better they have seating in the alley and out back. Indoors they also have a sort of closed off booth area for larger groups. read more

Cute little Irish Bar on Alberta in Portland. Great Irish ambiance which my Irish husband and brother-in-law particularly enjoyed. It was quite busy as the evening progressed but this did not stop the excellent service. I had the burger which was great as I love blue cheese and arugula on a burger. My husband had the chicken pot pie which he said was excellent. My brother-in-law had the fried cod which he said was a little plain and lacking seasoning. The Guinness was poured exactly like it was supposed to be, and my well versed in and picky with Guinness beer brother-in-law approved. I had an Irish Coffee which was excellent. Great food, great Guinness and all of us recommend T.C. O' Leary's as one of the better Irish establishments in town. It's definitely worth a visit. read more

Sunday late afternoon wonderful music, great food and nice people. Aidan and Jared at the bar were a highlight! TC is a treasure too. I had a special drink (recommended by Aidan) Sidka Smash (sp?) It was a Basque cider, elderflower liquor and pineapple and shaken and over ice, just delicious. I smile! read more

Great vibes! For sit-down dining/drinking, you order online and they bring it to your table. The online menu comes with a surprisingly helpful YouTube tutorial. We came on a weekend, sat in their side alley seating for a good view of the (excellent) live music. There's also outdoor dining out in front of the space. I got the Irish Setter cocktail which tasted like a liquefied lemon cough drop. I liked it; it was both refreshing and warming (from the ginger). read more

Great service by Shannon... I was on vacation from San Diego to see my daughter and her wife as well as my niece and her husband and extended family!. My only gripe( and it's small ), was no beanie-sweat shirts - etc to remember my trip. Loved the vibe, as man who has been to Ireland and has family there. I know what to look for My Dad's parents came over on the same boat from Ireland - but didn't know each other until they got to the USA . Both were from Connemara & Ballyconneely read more

This place is a great spot if you are looking for a cool little Irish pub! The bartender was really friendly and answered all of our questions about the menu.

They had TVs playing sports, but we came to just hang out and people watch. I will be back for sure! read more
