We decided to try out this newly opened Irish pub in Pinetop Lakeside after seeing their ad for a Mother's Day brunch. Unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to the hype. When we arrived, the place was completely empty--which should've been our first clue. We chose to sit outside, but oddly enough, the special Mother's Day menu wasn't offered until we specifically asked for it. After looking it over, we ended up ordering from the regular menu since it had more variety. There were four of us, so we ordered a mix of dishes to get a good feel for the food. Everything we tried was pretty underwhelming--under-seasoned and clearly cooked from frozen. Your standard bar food fare. They were also out of wings, and the music system wasn't working, which made the place feel even more lifeless. Food took nearly an hour to come out--even though we were the only table outside. If you're into beer and don't mind typical bar food, this place might be more enjoyable in the evening when it's busier. But if you're looking for a quality meal or a special brunch experience, I'd look elsewhere. read more

A great bar and restaurant in Pinetop! Fun themed ambiance. This was my first visit here but had wanted to check it out from having seen it advertised on food places to visit. Parking in the back was abundant and easy. We had a party of 4 on a Saturday for lunch. We were able to sit right away. I ordered an Irish Gold drink. It was juicy and mixed well. I had the Irish Beef Stew with Soda Bread which was great. The stew was chunky and delicious. After lunch we played a game of pool and it was a fun time! This was a wonderful lunch stop for food and drinks and we all had a great time together. We'll be back! read more

The Irish Colleen was clean, but the food didn't quite deliver. The veggie poutine had an odd flavor we couldn't place, and the fries were below average-steak cut, but a bit soggy. The burger was fine, nothing memorable. Drinks were as expected and reasonably priced. Service was a bit off. Our waiter stood on our table to adjust the umbrella when we arrived, which felt strange, and later brought salads out holding them by the rims rather than from the bottom. We were surprised by the final price-it felt slightly overpriced considering the taste and portion sizes. Overall, not terrible, but wouldn't go back. read more

Absolutely love this spot! They have some of the best corned beef I have had in a really long time. I really enjoyed their corn beef poutine. Their Shepard's Pie with lamb is authentic, flavorful, and simply delicious. I cannot wait to come back and eat more of their food. They were sadly out of dessert when we went, but that simply proves how good it must be! I also love how they have an outdoor area that is perfect for families to bring their kids without impacting other diners experience or ambiance. It was fun seeing other parents able to be out and enjoying their time. The food came quickly and we never had to track down our server. She was honest with her recommendations and really made the experience for us. I would highly recommend coming here for good food, good music, and a good time. read more

Nice looking place. Beer was cold. Server was nice. We had fish and chips and the Irish Rueben. Neither of us was happy with the meals. Rueben was lacking in corn beef, fries were bland, ketchup is in packages. Fish was tender and flakey but oily. Bar area was very nice. I'd heard great things about the place and wanted to try it. Guess we picked the wrong items. I'll go back and give it another try. They had some other nice sounding choices. read more

Luckily not many people were here as we got seated right away. The staff were super friendly and the food was good. At night it turns into a great Irish bar. A great place to check out while exploring this small town. read more

Went with some friends for the buy one get one half off fish and chips Friday special. Everything came out hot, fresh, and very delicious. Service was great, server was friendly and checked on us often without feeling pushy. When I've been here in the past, the food can be a little hit or miss, but this was a great experience! I'd be willing to go back again. read more

My husband and I wanted to find a more local spot for dinner and were intrigued by "live entertainment" last night. They only had one waitress on staff (Crystal) and she was incredibly kind and attentive. The musician was fantastic and kept our 9 month old baby entertained. Very friendly as well. There were plenty of food choices and our meals were delicious! Possibly my husband's new favorite place to eat for dinner when we're in town. read more

Three stars is me being generous because: I want to love this place. And I keep coming back with high hopes. But it's been more than 3 months and they can't dial things in. The beer tap system they have will never allow them to pour a proper pint of Guinness. Running warm beer through a frat party cold plate ice cooler tap system? Then scooping the foam off the top?Seriously??? The food that isn't fried is good. Fried stuff is oily like they just plate it from the fryer without even a cursory shake... Shepherds pie is very good. Service is either decent or non-existent. I look forward to updating this review with 5 stars once they figure this all out! read more

Food was pretty good! Everyone in our party enjoyed what they ordered although the fries were a bit undercooked for most of us. Fish was crispy. The best part for us was the kids area that could be enjoyed by the younger ones in our party. read more

First time visiting, new place, opened on 4th of July 2024. As a Brit I was eagerly awaiting their opening. Happen to be driving by on a Sunday evening about 7:00 and saw it was not too busy, stopped in for dinner. It was seat yourself anywhere, the staff were super attentive and friendly. Service was amazingly fast. We had the Colcannon as an appetizer, it was delicious and authentic. I had the full Irish breakfast, it was amazing. Have not had white pudding since I was in Scotland. Last in 1997. Brought tears to my eyes, as did the potatoes gone. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her Dubliner Burger and fries. We sampled a couple of the cocktails, the lemon drop, the Irish Margarita. Both were quite tasty. It's a standard Irish pub and restaurant with typical decor and ambience. The music that was playing tonight was contemporary adult, little bit of Kenny Rogers, a good mix of things. read more

You need to try this place! We decided to give it a try and we weren't disappointed. We had the Bangers and Mash and the Irish Stew. Both were great! The stew was probably the best we've had and so flavorful. The service was great too... very friendly! Happy to have a place to come each time we come to Pinetop. read more

Delicious!! I had the shepherds pie and my gosh it was so good! The bartender makes one of the best Long Island I've had in a long time. The staff were all very friendly and joked around like we've been going there for years. The atmosphere is fun inside and out. Next time we are in town we're definitely stopping by again. read more

The service was so slooooowwwww! And the outside ordering is very disconnected from the inside operation. The food was very slow in coming ... we had to keep asking. Even ordering a beer was slow to be delivered (even though the guy running the bar could just pour it when you order it ... made no sense!)! The food was mediocre. We were very disappointed. The music and dance floor were enjoyable! read more

We had been offered a free meal, due to an earlier experience. It was great. Thanks to Brian and Sabrina for making it up to us. We will be coming by more often now. read more

Friendly staff. Great food! Loved the Redbreast Irish Whiskey. And on Tuesday's Edition of Alli's Culinary Adventures and Tales Since we had time before the appointment, Bonnie and I stopped at the The Irish Colleen for lunch. Now, I'm not a whiskey drinker. My tastes hover around Southern Comfort (on the rocks, neat, or as a Spicy Southern Screw) but I want to learn about whiskey. So, we have a very nice time, and conversations, with our bartender and food server, Jason. A very informative and interesting (AND busy) bartender. On Jason's recommendation, and also a recommendation by Ambert, I had a shot of Redbreast 12 year old Irish Whiskey, neat. Oh my! I had had a shot of Hellcat Maggie up in Jerome a few weeks ago. But THIS...this stuff is very...very smooth. Wonderful aroma and when I finally got around to taking a sip ***YES, very smooth flavor!! I liked it, Ambert, I really did. Thanks for the texts and info. Bonnie had an Irish Mojito. I have not had one before so when Bonnie offered me a sip, I did. Yow! Nice. Then, with her meal, she had an Irish Coffee. Uhh, not all Irish Coffees are made the same. I liked this, Jason! Meals...I had the Irish Stew. A slice of Irish Soda bread on the side. As with Irish Coffees, not all Irish Stews are made the same! Good, tender beef, potatoes and carrots all cooked tender. Used the Soda bread to sop up the leftover sauce. Another good meal in my tummy! I had a very nice Smithwick's with the meal. Bonnie, now, she orders the Bangers & Mash. And, if you look at the menu at The Irish Colleen, it looks like the picture on the menu! Bonnie gave me a slice of the banger. Tender, great taste, and it smelled like it had a secret to tell me as soon as I put it in my mouth. Bonnie also took home an Irish Corned Beef Pizza. WHAT? What did you say, Alli? Yes, you heard it right folks...an Irish Corned Beef Pizza. Now, I'm torn between ordering the Bangers & Mash next time, or...the Tipperary Premier Bleu Cheese burger. Or maybe the Cork Rebel burger??? Or the Corned Beef Pizza???? read more

I have eaten here twice and loved the food the first time. My second visit left me not wanting to return. The food was average, at best, and the drinks were weak. The service was very good. The place was packed when I first went and empty this time, so I am guessing I am not the only one noticing the decline in their food. read more

I ate here about 2 months ago and ordered corned beef and cabbage, My plate was delivered and the corned beef serving looked like it was scraped off a meat cutting board - there was not a single piece in the pile of corned beef that was larger than 1/4". It was a complete disappointment. My wife, on the other hand order Shepards Pie and said it was the best she ever had. So tonight, we are going there again and I will order the corned beef AGAIN and see what is delivered on my plate read more

First time and I was so impressed! had the Shepards Pie absolutely divine the richest gravy I ever tasted! it must be the Guinises! my sister had the corned beef and cabbage plate! the brown gravy and mash pots were so creamy! the corned beef was tender and needed a little more salt but overall very impressive. on down side no handicap rails in the women's restroom. great place good food and friendly staff! great for families on the patio has a kid zone! give it a try you won't be disappointed! read more

We went for breakfast and all our food was outstanding. I would recommend going earlier than 9 or after 10 when another server comes on. I definitely would come again to use the outside space. read more

Fun evening excellent soup and soda bread and Guinness of course! But the Guinness was a bit bitter tonight! Played a few rounds of bingo and hung out for awhile. They gave out a glass of champagne to everyone to celebrate New Years. The only reason I didn't give five stars was as I left and walked to my car in the back lot it was extremely dark and being alone it was a bit worrisome. It wasn't until I was almost to my car that a light came on but it was pointed directly at my face so not good! Please provide better lighting for your patrons at night! read more

Very welcoming Great atmosphere Tuesday bingo was fun Server was excellent Did delicious Definitely will be back read more

Went for brunch. The food and service were great. They did a great job creating an Irish pub ambiance with each Guinness coming out with a different logo on it. The Irish Coffee was delicious. We tried the Jameson Whisky dipped French toast with eggs and bacon along with the Irish Eggs Benedict on potato cakes with large chunks of corned beef. It was all delicious. We hope this business does well in the Pinetop-Lakeside area. read more

Blue cheese burger was good, had excellent thick cut bacon. Also got the appetizer sampler which was good, large amount of fried food. My child loved the kids tenders. Black and tan (called 1/2 & 1/2) was yummy as well! Ambiance is classic Irish green pub style. Servers were friendly. read more

We were there a week after they opened. We were able to place our drink order and food order rather quickly. We sat for half an hour without getting our drinks, not even water. We started looking at the tables around us, and no one had their food. We asked how long they had been waiting and the three tables each said over an hour. We decided at that point to just leave. If we go back, it will be a while, give them a chance to work out the kinks. read more

Great food and atmosphere. We had late lunch of Fish and Chips. Was so good! Found out they did breakfast and came back to try it. Their Jamison French Toast was yummy!
