    Irish Stew
    Sheri C.

    Authentic Irish Pub in the heart of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.the owners are from Ireland and serve dishes from family recipes! Shepherds Pie was savory, rich but so comforting. Irish beef stew was incredible! Pub fries with smoked pulled pork, homemade bbq sauce and jalapeño The Hit Whisky Sandwich was incredible! Scotch eggs, best we've ever tasted! Service was excellent by Birdie. Great vibe and we felt we were. A fun pub in Ireland!

    This place was excellent. If I lived here I'd come back again and again. My server was Jenny, she was awesome and helped with my dinner selection. I had the lamb burger and it was exquisite. A pint of Guinness - what could be better. And finished with a whiskey shot of Green Spot - Chateau Montelena (they must use the wineries barrels). Also excellent

    Cool Irish pub. Good menu options Irish food and American bar food. There are tons of whiskey options which is really cool. Kitchen closes at 10. The Guinness beef stew didn't have much flavor and the Irish soda bread was more like a scone and not really like the soda bread you get in Ireland. Great decorations, feels like a real Irish pub. Our server was very nice and made sure we got our food order in before the kitchen closed.

    Sheppard's Pie

    I came here for lunch on a Saturday with my partner and his grandma. There is paid street parking available in front of the restaurant. We were seated right away even without a reservation. The place definitely has a pub vibe, though without the loud energy. Service was kind and friendly. I requested no ice in my water and it came as such. I got the shepard's pie and I enjoyed it. It seemed to be made with real ingredients and not just something heated up. Most items on the menu were below $20 which is somewhat rare these days for restaurant food. Overall I'd recommend this place for good food and service!

    Just a darn good Irish pub in the middle of this downtown tourist town. Here's where you can go and enjoy a good Irish pub with good Irish food. There's a variety of good Irish style food to choose from, many of which have their own family flair. When I saw the shepherds pie on the menu, it made my choice easy. The shepherds pie comes with your typical beef, carrots, peas, and savory gravy. This is touted as a family recipe. It sure was good. On top sit your mashed potato. No doubt I will come back to this restaurant, There were so many good looking food choices. I'd have to try something new.

    Sat at the well served on bar. See pic Service by Derrick Freindly, Quick, very knowledgeable about whats on tap. Ambience. It is old. Building predates CW 1860. Awsome

    I've been to this restaurant 3 times and every time it delivers on deliciouness and consistency of quality. You can't go wrong with any food selection - the hardest part is selecting from all of the great menu items. Highly recommend as an authentic Irish treat while in Gettysburg!

    Burger with Sweet Potato Fries

    Great atmosphere, beer, food and staff - can't ask much more than that. Nice on-tap beer selection. Enjoyed Harp and another that was Guinness-like but I don't remember the name. There were 5 of us. Both the Fish & Chips and the Shepherds Pie were large and delicious. Along with 2 different Burgers and a Caesar Salad, everyone enjoyed their dinner. The restaurant is about a block up from the town center of Gettysburg. Definitely will return on a future visit to town.

    Draft beer

    Only had drinks and dessert but both were great. As was Missy at the bar! Service could not have been better. The place was ole time Irish Pub atmosphere with lots of memorabilia on the walls. Authentic Irish atmosphere which I loved!

    This is the spot to get hamburgers in Gettysburg. Theirs are huge, made of prime meat, and…read morepresented hot & juicy. I always order my burger medium-rare, and that's what I get here. I can't tell you how many times that medium is what I usually get when requesting medium-rare at restaurants. There's a big difference between the two in terms of internal temperature, center color, and texture. This place knows how to properly cook a medium-rare burger, and for me, that's a sign of quality and sets it apart. The sidewinder fries are fab as are the homemade potato chips and either comes with burgers. The dressing on the coleslaw needs some seasoning, but the slaw itself is fresh and crunchy. The Maryland crab soup is pretty slammin', too. I favor the back dining room, not the bar (in front). These 2 areas have different vibes. The back room feels like the way a burger joint should be. The bar is, well, more bar-ish. One of the servers, Brody, provides exceptional service--a shout out to him. This establishment's name is playful and clearly informs the customer as to what their specialty is: hamburgers. I bought one of their T-shirts, perhaps that says it all.

    We love the Gettysburger! We stopped in on a busy Saturday afternoon and waited about 20 minutes. I…read morefeel like we waited longer for our food than we ever have before, but they had a few large parities, so I get that. I ordered the Muenster burger which was excellent! I've never had a bad burger here and always order the smash patties - I just enjoy them more. Two burgers and two beers were less than $50 with a tip - can't beat that in a tourist town. We'll be back soon!

    This place is great for a casual dinner or drinks. Attentive service, unusual atmosphere, lots of…read moreoptions for food and seating... The pub is in the basement of the Federal Pointe Inn hotel, which was historically a schoolhouse. There are cool old class pictures of the former students all around the pub. (When I was there, someone was visiting whose father had actually been a student and she had fun looking for him in all of the old pictures.) The layout is long and narrow, which gives four options for seating: the bustling bar scene, a more formal dining room with around 10 tables, a private dining room with a single long dining table... ...and an anti-social hallway with bar service and a few tables, perfect for when you've had a long day on the road and don't particularly want to socialize with anyone but still want to know that other people are alive. I loved it... I had a chicken caesar wrap (minus bacon - didn't need it) which was delicious, along with the best grilled asparagus I've ever eaten, and a glass of wine to sip while unwinding. The service from the bartender was friendly and attentive, but unhurried. And he didn't make me feel guilty for not hanging out with everyone else at the bar. I would gladly return. It's the kind of place I could see myself becoming a low-key regular.

    We had been here twice before & absolutely loved it - we stopped here over Valentines Day weekend…read more(Friday Night). We had reservations, but they were so busy that we did not get acknowledged for a bit ..in fact we felt a bit like we were in the way in the long hallway with servers flying by. When we were taken to our table, we found out from our server that they were understaffed. Took a while for our drinks, apps, entrees to come, but again we've never seen the Pub this busy. Unfortunately there were several things they were out of, but we made do. I'm not sure if there is a different chef, but the steak almost seemed boiled - it was tender but just not like I remembered. I wish I had written a review previously for comparison as it would've been fantastic. I would like to return again and suspect the experience would be back to the norm... PS - as a pub where you would just want to sit in the bar area & enjoy some beverages among the crowd ..I'm sure it wasn't a bad night!
