    Yes very nice local Irish pub. They make a pretty good Irish coffee to boot. With real cream.

    Whether you're coming here to chill on the patio on a warm Sunday afternoon or you're coming here on Saturday night to karaoke- this place is amazing. Irishman is definitely my favorite bar in Huntington Beach!! Fernando is my favorite, It's always great to see him!!

    Best pint of Guiness!

    The Irishman consistently serves the best pint of Guiness! Monique is an awesome and kind bartender who poured this pint for me! Shout out to Ray! He takes quality and service seriously and it shows! Cheers mate!

    Best pub in town! The bartenders pour a perfect Guinness and they make the best espresso martinis on Main Street. Ambiance is always fun and filled with locals.

    Expresso martini very tasty

There's a market next door. For special event parking at the garage across the street you may need to pay as they don't validate.

    Backstory: For inexplainable reasons i do enjoy a good girthy bratwurst on many an occasion…read more especially the first bite when it explodes juicily in your mouth is so yum. So my excoworker whose german brings me and another coworker here for a more authentic experience, there was this i guess more hipster bratwurst place in LB we tried previously and i was ok with it but my broworkers brats were burnt and so here we are. In a nutshell:Ok i think i came here before maybe some event but i guess when a german brings you in and does the ordering it's different? Brats were amazing, except it was a platter of like 4 variations and they were precut, so no girthy enjoyment tonight and also i didnt know which ones were which flavor, they all look the same you have a lighter brat a darker brat and a redder brat i couldnt really tell to be honest. The pretzel was very interesting, thin crisp exterior and inside was fluffy soft, twas delicious considering how plain it looked, Wetzels/Annes would be a thick dense oily comparison. Beer cheese is extra but delicious, imagine a watery dip cheese. The ooooonly drawback was the mustard, it was kinda basic one flavor yellow mustard and according to my german friend slash excoworker she was expecting better mustards and a variety of mustards to top. Liquids:ok the beers are 500cc 1000cc and a pitcher. the 5 and 10 are a pint mug id expect at a brewery and a big fat tall apparently normal for germans sized mug thats bigger than my face. me n my bro we both do not carry the drinking genes so neither of us will walk away if we take a L ourselves, but the 3 of us wish to have a splendid jolly time havent seen each other in some time and the beer list is quite respectable. Fransiskaner Weissbeer was a mandatory vote for me, I had it like once when i was a young college dude and ive always been looking for it again since, the normal Fransiskaner Hefeweizen can be found here regularly but the dark version ive not seen in so long. If u like non-bitter smooth flavorful beer with a touch of banana hint on the end, Weissbeer you should try. $10 for a pint $16 for the oversized mug liter. Paulaner Hefeweizen was lighter flavor more orangey, still very pleasant. We took a Liter of both and split em 3 ways, the giant mugs are not possible to pour into smaller mugs without making a mess, unfortunately theyre not allowed to just pre split a 1L into 2 500ml mugs make it easier for us to split, something about the owner watching the dispensing okaaay. Service: uses the run forest run method which im a fan of. flip the painted wood block to red up for dont bother us and green for request service. Eliminates the untimely interruptions. Though towards the end of the night i had to use the bathroom and when i came back theyd cleared away my unfinished beer, rude. Pricey brats (1 brat plate is $15). Schnitzel $24 looks massive but its pounded paper thin and heavily breaded. Copious serving sizes of beer. Criminally limited to 1 type of mustard (i dont care, mustard isnt a high priority for me, but my coworker was so bothered) Parking has 2 lots on either side of the german "village" kinda small spots and tight angles but very plentiful. Also theres a mini market on the north end of the restaurant. alot of rather expensively priced small items.

    The harp is definitely an institution in Costa Mesa. I mean I cannot tell you how many times I have…read morebeen here. Long before Yelp was even a thing, and long before the internet really was put into the hands of the cow in person, this was the hub. This is where you went to meet people, exchange ideas, have conversation and more. The harp is really an institution in Orange county. And not just because it has longevity, there's a reason that it has sustained power. This place is probably one of the most authentic Irish pubs I've been to. Having been to Ireland. I can attest that this is right there with a standard pub in a small town. Which makes it wonderful. The people that run the place, especially Paul, is one of the reasons why I keep coming back here. He's personable, funny, and no-nonsense right. I like his way of thinking and his approach to customer service a second to none. Now let's talk about the food and drinks. From a drink standpoint. You cannot go wrong with this place, the drinks are thoughtfully made, this guy knows how to pour a beer. As far as food goes. I highly recommend the beefeater sandwich, and you cannot go wrong with the chicken wings. Some of the best wings I've had ever. Friday and Saturday nights is usually popping pretty hard when they have bands playing. So, good luck trying to find a seat anywhere in the place. When there is an event that night. You will have to get there early for sure. The bottom line? This is a go-to hangout. If you are looking for a good watering hole to meet people, just hang out and have a good time, or watch a game on the big screen TVs. F*** I would highly recommend the harp to anybody and everyone in the Orange county area.

    Great day to watch football in a Irish bar. Two World Cup matches on the telly with fans on both…read moresides of France-Norway. Paul is amazing and has a great memory for people and faces. He remembered my wife and I, where we sat and how we found the place when we visited three months ago. One of the few places to get Kilkenny.
