Dropped in as a convenient bar to get a meal Bar man / Waiter super polite - waitress a little ansey ..... "passing me off he's doing it on outdoors" she wasn't a happy bunny, but that's staff for you. Seems a popular location food was reasonable but menu a little limited read more

The Irish Shebeen - The upset waitress - Pubs Near Me - Etobicoke, Ontario

My cousin and I are were staying at the Hampton Inn about 3 mins from The Irish Shebeen and decided to walk over. We saw some available seats at the bar rail and decided to sit there. There was a live band playing old school music and the vibe was all around welcoming. The bartender wasn't really social but she did acknowledge us and handed some menus. I decided to order a Shirley temple with a splash of Tito's for my drink and went with the Irish lamb burger for my meal. The burger was a lamb patty, caramelized onions, grilled apple, Brie cheese, greens and a curry aioli that I asked be put on the side. The meal also came with a side of fries. I didn't like the aioli so I requested bbq sauce to add to the burger. The meal was super super delish. Fries were crispy but lacking in the seasoning department. Quick fix with salt and pepper. Overall good eats. The only thing I didn't like was being charged for 2 oz ramekin of bbq sauce. I felt like that could've just been complimentary. Other than that great experience, and I recommend. read more

I'm in Mississagua for a week of work and decided to stop by this rather unassuming pub for a pint and quick bite. The decor is very "Irish discount Applebees", without the typical rustic vibe of a classic shebeen. With 90s music bopping out of the speakers, I grabbed a 20oz at the bar and asked what on the menu was good. I was recommended the margherita pizza and went for it. Praytell, dear reader, that the tale I unfurl for you next is not an exaggeration in any sense of the word. The item advertised as pizza arrived shortly thereafter and, upon first glance, it was clear that the plate placed before me held a prosecutable hate crime against the cuisine of Ireland, Italy, AND Canada. The highly-touted "homemade crust" was fingernail-thin had the consistency and flavor of a giant Saltine cracker, sans salt. The single topping, as far as I could tell, consisted of some form of shredded orange cheese. A faint crimson smear adorned the crust, but whether there was tomato sauce, basil, or any other seasoning typically found on pizza under said orange cheese was not discernible. The distinct "melted cheese on a cracker" flavor certainly did not imply there was anything other than these two items imprisoned on my poor plate. While the service was fine and the decor, while not what one would expect from a shebeen, was serviceable, Mississauga's The Irish Shebeen will go down in my culinary history as **the absolute worst** "pizza" I have ever eaten in my entire life. I would plead to the business' owners to throw this recipe directly into Lake Ontario, but that would be supremely unfair to whatever lives in Lake Ontario. read more

Irish Stew was fantastic. Mashed potatoes were definitely home made. Father-in-law had Shephards Pie the night before and couldn't stop saying how good it was. Son had fish-n-chips and he said it was some of the best he has had. Great place and the service was just as amazing as the food. If we lived in the Toronto area we would be here once a week. Great place. read more

Staff was great. Went there one night and there were things they'd run out of by 7pm. Tried again a few nights later and had the same issue, with a different excuse. What was available was good, but they need to manage things a bit better. Maybe call and see if they have a full menu available. read more

I am giving this pub 3.5 stars. Way back in January 2015, I had a hectic time training a new employee and greeting to guests from Sweden at my workplace. During that first week, we all went to The Irish Shebeen, which is a short drive from the office, for lunch. I like pub food. I always have. I don't know why. I ordered bangers and mash. The bangers were tasty and done properly. The mash was wonderful in the gravy. I didn't like all the sauteed onions, though. There were too many for my liking. Still, the dish was yummy. Service was speedy and pleasant. I need to return and sample other items on the menu. Hopefully, that will be sometime this year! (60) read more

What a great pub! A most friendly and attentive bartender (the great Hope)who even after a few visits, will remember what you like to drink and have a pint of Smithwick's on the bar before you can even take your coat off. You can get that pint late into the night most nights. If you are staying in Mississauga hotels, it's a much more convivial atmosphere that your hotel room. But don't order the burgers. The burgerwill be a dry, hard dark thing in a bun. A hockey puck is the closest comparison. You can't fault the Irish Shebeen, though. It's Canada law. My bartender apologizes. We have to make all our burgers medium well, she says. So, be wiser. Order anything but burgers. The fries, for example vere excellent. The single best entree may be the chicken tenders. They are only an appetizer but are served with a full order of fries so it is more than a meal. 5 big pieces of sweet white meat fried so crispy you can't talk at the same time on the phone. I had leftovers for the next day. The Shebeen has a whole separate room that looks like a lobby of a hotel from a grander time. With tables, WiFi and everyone avoid it it for the more boisterous bar, it is a perfect place to spend the evening if you have a hundred emails to answer I was served by Jei, the consummate host, who catered to every need. My first Negroni, missing Campari, was happily replaced with a gin and tonic. "No problem, sir." In most place, seeking a quiet place to work also means you'll be forgotten and you'll have to jump up and down to get the waiter's attention. But Jei took excellent care of me. It was as if I had a butler. Never abandoned. Drinks to dinner without ever wondering if everyone had left town. You should relax after a tough day at work at the Irish Shebeen. It is the friendliest neighborhood pub. read more

I'm not sure if the waitress was having a bad day or not but she was not very welcoming when my friends and I came in. We wanted to sit on the patio since they had the A/C blasting inside and asked her to seat us as there was no hostess. Her demeanor was not very nice. She seemed very rushed. My friends and I weren't impressed with her. We sat down and I asked for a drink list and she didn't want to give me the list. I am a visual person and like to read menus or see pictures. She just asked if I wanted wine or something like that. I just chose a pinot grigio. We got wings, fries, and chicken strips. They were all pretty tasty. Wings were done well and were decently sized. As we were leaving when we were done we saw that the drink menu was at the POS station right by the door... She could have just brought it for me. It would not have impeded her by any means. I probably wouldn't come back here on my own free will. read more

Great team serving up some great food and fresh beers. Live music and Irish pub feel makes for a great ambiance

I have been here twice in hopes my first visit was just a bad fluke and my second would show that this is a great place to eat. It didn't work out and it's not a great place to eat. Both times the food was mediocre. Example: I ordered a pulled pork sandwich. It was dry and not flavorful. there was very little sauce on it. What made it worst to the point I lost my appetite completely was there was a massive fat ball in the middle of it. I was so grossed out I couldn't eat anymore. Both my husband and friend who were with me also didn't like their dishes (burger with fries and pasta). The overall space of the restaurant is not well thought out. Its very tight and uncomfortable. I know they want to have lots of seats for customers but its to the point you cant even walk to the bathroom without bumping into someone or a chair. They should have kept to the booth design at least that way there would be walking room for customers and servers. The live music would be nice to hear but both times they had different bands that seems to play way to loud for the space they are in. You cant even talk to the person your are sitting beside because it is so loud. Oddly enough you cant really hear the person singing the band is playing that loud, just so you have an understanding of the level of noise. Overall I will not be going back and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Which is sad because this place had potential. read more

Service was great. Food was good. Every window in the place was filthy. A little worrisome about how clean everything else was?

This was my second visit for dinner while I was in town! I walked to another option at the hotels recommendation, but decided to walk back to this place. Also, if you show your room key, you get a 10% discount!! Two thumbs up!! read more

We decided to eat here since it was walking distance from our hotel. I had the Caesar kale salad and the jalapeño mashers. The salad was delicious and was decently sized. The jalapeño mashers (I might have the name wrong) is an appetizer item. I personally didn't care for it. It tasted to me like a jalapeño popper, but with tarter sauce on top. The tarter sauce did not taste good with the potatoes and I ended up wiping it off. My friend had the quinoa salad which she said was flavorless and she had to ask for some dressing to give it flavor. She also ordered the soup de jour, which was vegetable beef, I tasted the soup and although it tasted okay, it wasn't anything special. The service was also pretty slow. I had to ask for a refill and waited a few minutes before it was brought back. I never got another refill after the one. This restaurant is decent, but I wouldn't eat here again unless I had to. read more

So this place was a Honey's Beestro, then it was some crap pasta bar briefly. Now it's a good Irish pub. I came for drinks with some co-workers on a Friday after work. The place is pretty nice. Fully renovated with exposed brick on most of the walls. The space is broken up into a few areas so you could easily have a private function and be separated from the rest of the bar. The beer selection isn't super great. Keith's, Stella, etc. on tap. It would be nice if there was a little more variety. The food is pretty standard pub fair. We ordered some appetizers which consisted of chicken wings and a mixed plate. The plate had jalapeño poppers, mozza sticks, potato skins, cheese toast, and spring rolls. The wings were good, the mixed plate was a little hit and miss. Hit: potato skins. Miss: jalapeño poppers. Our server was great to begin with but as we stopped ordering refills of our beers she soon forgot about us. She disappeared right when we were looking to clear up our tab. Overall I would come here again as it is a better option than most of the bars in the area. Unless you live or work in the area though, there's no reason to make a special trip to check this place out. read more

Just went here for a quick lunch run with a friend. Thought I should east a bit healthy this time and I got a mediterranean pizza sans olives. Their pizza is quite good, but does not have as much herbs and spices as Sorento's, but for $13 it is not too bad. I've had their carnivore delight pizza and that one was better. They also had a chicken wrap, but that one is too much food for me at lunch time. read more

This was a business lunch with a very important client. We decided to stop here cause we had limited time & many places were full being lunch time. I was wondering why the place was so empty for a workday lunch...now I know. To start with the tables were very sticky. In fact my shirt was sticking to them! I would have asked to wipe the table off but I had a feeling that this was a permanent stickiness. The food was Fish & Chip...how can one mess this one up. They did...I asked for crispy fries, they simply re-fried old fries & called them crispy. The fish was one of those preformed frozen patties that you get from a box. Nothing original or tasty. Our servery Kalie was pretty good. Too many restaurants around to waste your time on crappy food. I'd go somewhere else! read more

Came here for dinner yesterday, for my boyfriend's dad's birthday. The food here is delicious! We ordered the calamari and potato skins for starters and ended up with the lamb burger for my main dish. Everything was incredibly flavourful but the lamb burger was my absolute favourite! It was moist and was jam packed with flavours. Definitely check this place out - it's a great little pub with great food and wonderful servers! read more

Bad bad bad. We called to see what time they closed and they said midnight. So we Uber there. When we got there, waitress said only appetizer /limited menu available. We ordered off the limited menu and she says only 1 pc of fish left for the fish and chips- what the ........, After being ignored by waitress during whole meal, we wanted to pay but couldn't find server. Probably could have all walked out and not paid for the bad bad bad meal and nobody would have noticed. I finally walked to the bar to pay for our meal. Not even a thank you. when we walked out of restaurant, we saw the waitress in her car with engine on and , texting...I guess she was done for the night(?) but nobody bother to mention to us , who's taking over our table We will never go there again, not only bad food but very bad customer service read more

This place is disgustingly bad. Arrived at the door, sign says way for server. No hostess simply waitresses gathering drinks at the bar right beside the door. Walk over and sit at the bar, worst layout possible, their beer taps are right in front blocking all visual lines between the bartenders and patrons. Eventually dude comes over, clearly he hates his job by the tone and lack of interest. I order a Jack Daniels, couple minutes later he comes back, they are out of Jack, WTF it's 6:30pm how do you not have a very common premium liquor. As I'm trying to see what else IS available (did I mention you have to crouch down and look between the taps?) He's growing increasingly more impatient. I am clearly bothering his main task of grumbling to himself. Now for the truest discussing portion and the end of my time there. I observed a waitress deliver 3 dishes of food to a table just down from me. Confused she leaves with 1 of the plates back into the kitchen. 4 minutes pass and she emerges from the double doors with the original plate, makes her way back to the table and collects the apparently wrong servings. She then wait for it, proceeds directly to another portion of the pub and drops off the plates. Hello you just left unattended food for a duration of time with someone else. Did they have a cold? Flu? Worse? No wonder people get sick these days from eating out. I paid my tab (7.75 for a pint, and I thought sporting events charged high prices). I then walked out never to return, unless of course I need to take a couple days off and want the stomach flu. read more

Had Lunch here today and it was not the greatest experience....We were told once seated that they were out of a lot of things... We were a group of 9.... 6 ordered wings (which were great, came out pretty slow), 1 ordered a veggie wrap (which was very modified, due to the lack of ingredients they had on hand...also came out slow) and 2 people ordered the Burger and they had to wait about 1.5 hours for their food. We were told the kitchen was very backed up, but the place wasnt busy..... Once they realized how long the burgers were taking they offered to bring out just the fries and to comp their meals. The burgers FINALLY arrived and they were WAY under cooked/ pretty much raw. The bar tender and waitress felt bad they gave the whole table 10% off...which was a nice gesture, but unfortunately I will not be returning. read more

In town for business. Walked over to this place from my hotel. After a long day of travel I just wanted something good and quick. First, it took about 10 mins for anyone to acknowledge me at the door. There was only 2 ladies working and they were taking care of the entire place. The place was pretty full. I sat at the bar in hopes it would be quick. Not so much. The lady behind the bar was friendly, and when she was able to pay any attention to me, she did a great job. Unfortunately for her, she was the hostess, the bartender, the waitress, and running food from the kitchen. The other waitress had the same work load. It took about 15 mins to get my first drink and another 10 to place my meal order. Based on my experience to that point I kept it simple: a soup and sandwich. I ordered simple whiskey/coke and it was fine. More ice and soda than anything else, but hey, that happens in a lot of places. My soup was a French onion and the sandwich a Philly Cheesesteak. When it finally arrived (+/-30 min) it was gross. The soup had clearly been sitting reducing all day as it was more like nasty bread soaked in concentrated salt water with onions. The cheese on top was a half inch thick and cold. The biggest problem was the salt. Soooo salty. I couldn't eat it. I literally ate a spoonful and set it aside. The sandwich was allegedly a Philly Cheesesteak. Having been to Philadelphia many times, and eaten countless of these, I can tell you it was anything but that. The beef was thick and cold, the cheese was Swiss and the onions and peppers were raw. The promised mushrooms never arrived, and it was absolutely flavorless. Not pretty either with the insides and oil pouring out the sides. Against my better judgement, I ate it cause I was starving, a decision I would regret. The next morning I was so sick to my stomach. Really bad. Probably the worse part was an extremely drunk woman sitting at the bar. I guess she worked there since she knew all the staff, especially the cook (yes, the cook was sitting at the bar, which probably explains the food), and she walked in and out of the kitchen several times. This women was absolutely blasted. She kept messing with patrons and slurring her words. She was upsetting one guy at the bar when she kept making fun of his rings. I was so put off that I asked my check and left. Overall, the waitress and bartender were nice, but clearly overwhelmed. The food was disgusting, service slow, and the dunk employee and her cook friend were an embarrassment. It was kind of a "Ramsey Gordon: Kitchen Nightmares" experience, to be honest. Won't be going back. read more

After an atrocious day, and the horrendous experience being canceled at the airport, the kind people at this establishment fed us even though the kitchen was technically closed.

I usually never leave reviews, but this was some of the worst service I've ever had at a restaurant. A group of friends and I decided to check out this place for some food and drinks. From the very beginning, we all noticed our waitress had a bad attitude. It only got worse from that point - she handed us lunch menus at dinner, got our order wrong, and offered no cutlery. I physically brought cutlery from another table so we could eat. She didn't bother to check up on us either. The food was alright, but again, I was missing tartar sauce for my fish and chips, and when my friend asked for ketchup it arrived a solid 20 minutes later. We walked up to the cash register once we were ready to pay (because no waitress in sight), and since we all collectively had a bad experience, we provided no tip. We asked to split the bill to which she kisses her teeth and rolls her eyes. The waitress then sarcastically yells, "Thanks guys" as we head out the door. Thankfully, there was another waiter there who apologized for her inappropriate behaviour. If you're looking for a fun night out, please DO NOT go here. read more

The service was what stuck out to me after this visit. The place was really not busy at all (~10 tables) but we did see a lot of staff leaving throughout the night so it might've been understaffed. Our waitress was not very happy to be there, it seemed. When we asked for the drinks menu, she hesitated and said there was only one menu. Not to her own fault, but what kind of pub doesn't have a drinks menu? Again, it wasn't a be-all-end-all, but just sort of odd and had me thinking that this place is a little mismanaged. She finally did produce a drinks menu after a little bit of digging. It was pretty out of date - maybe 60% of what was listed was in stock. The waitress was not very informed about the menu or their drinks as well - think she mentioned a Stella was a domestic or something, but oh well, here's not the place to get fancy. Patio nice, the faint live music was pretty good although we were outside so we didn't get to experience it in totality. The food itself was fairly good; no one had any qualms with their dish. We ordered bruschetta, chicken fingers (noted as "better than average", fish and chips, Philly cheese steak, and a salmon wrap). The beers came slightly temperate unfortunately and the wait staff checked in on us very infrequently (pretty much every 45 minutes, and we even had to go in and find her). That was probably the worst part of the service, since we were waiting to take our drink orders and then our meals and then the next round for 30 minutes pretty much every time. One more thing will forever remain in my memory: their sangria (had the white) was amazing - the best I've ever had!!! I still dream about that sangria. I remember surreptitiously sniffing my empty glass after we were done... even the smell was intoxicating. It was absolutely perfect and I almost don't want to go back in case it was a fluke (unsurprising, given the nature of the restaurant). I'm giving +1 star for the sangria alone. read more

Good spot, bad lighting! Good live music, food and drink. But why so bright? It's like being in a cafeteria. Irish bars should be dark and a bit shady. The lighting was so bright I couldn't stay. Felt like I was under a spotlight. Owners please turn down the lights and watch people stay longer to enjoy the space! read more

Ehhhh. I'm here for business and this place is ok at best. They had a pretty cool atmosphere with live music, but here are my issues... - the tv's are few and small. I was hoping to watch a little bit of sport while and for a pub they really did not serve that up well. Yes one TV was a cathode ray tube based set. Sweet! - they had a less than impressive beer selection - the fish & chips were sub par, and the fries were a bit soggy. Given I only can comment on this as it's all I had there. I feel this place can do much better w/ a few relatively minor tweeks. read more

I was looking for something close to my hotel and this place came up on yelp. Not horrible and would have been 4 stars if they had wi-fi. It was decently busy when I was there and the servers and bartender acted as though they were slammed beyond belief. Service was slow and the Bartendar had no idea what a "stout" beer was when I asked her if they had any. I had the Shrimp appetizer, which was awesome and super spicy. Overall, I would come back. Just wish they had wifi. read more

This is my go to bar in Mississauga where I work. It's funny cause it's not rocket science why. Most bars have a patio in the summer (duh). But some of the bars on the same street have patios that face north west (ie no sun after 2pm). The Irish Shebeen faces south west, so it's perfect for after work. The one thing I don't really like about the place is the fact that they don't really have daily specials. Everyone likes deals... Why can't you offer any? I've only had the wings here, and they were decent. I can't really comment on the on the other food though. read more

I am not a local,and was in toronto on business. I was looking for something close to the Hampton airport centre. I am pleased to report, I discovered a true gem. This place is awesome by any measure. The food was flavorful and creative - A reflection of the talented chef that prepared such an amazing dish. The great food, coupled with a full bar selection made the evening memorable. The bartender/waitress, was plesamt and attendant. More importantly, the kitxhen is open until MIDNIGHT! DON'T DRIVE BUY THIS PLACE WITHOUT STOPP9NG BY. Old reviews need to be discarded in your analysis. Great vibe. read more
