    Horrible service, high prices. My Irish friend was in town and I was really wanting some fish and chips. This place had the best reviews. I was so bummed out didn't live up to the reviews. It was almost ten minutes before someone came to take our drink order. We waited, and waited for half an hour for someone to come back so we could order some food and another drink. My friend had been timing it, unbeknownst to me. He went to pay for the beers and ran into the owner at the bar hanging out watching the two staff run around. My friend (who is maddeningly polite) pointed out to the owner that we had been waiting and he wasn't even apologetic. I'm glad it didn't work out because it would have been around $70 for a few beers and fish and chips. Crazy. Now I suspect they are getting their friends to do all the good reviews. 🤔 Luckily we found a fabulous Indian place down the street. Night saved. Whew.

    Today my partner and myself came in, sat ourselves (as we've always done) and waited. We waited for about 20 minutes with no service while the bartender (blue hair, lots of makeup) just sat on her phone or wandered around still on her phone. We ended up leaving and she didn't even notice then. It's very unfortunate to leave this kind of review because I am in the service industry and I love this place and have been going for a while, but this is unacceptable.

    We have been going to this place for years. The food and drinks aren’t bad but you have to throw out your clothes if you sit inside too long. I was not welcomed in bc I “was rude to the staff”. If anyone knows me, they know that’s false. But again, all Austin ranch restaurants are “connected” and we did catch some shady stuff one night. Be careful with all the bars in Austin ranch. We will go to better places and spend our money elsewhere. And in 30 years, the same bartenders will be there while the rest of us have grown up. Best of luck.

    I’ve been here quite a bit now since moving down here, it’s one of my favorite places to get drinks, cheap, the atmosphere is nice and chill :) the bartender with the beard and glasses is my favorite, he knows how to make a satisfying Long Island that I feel gets the job done. His music taste is great too lol. All together though all the bartenders are good at their jobs, and I never have a bad time here.

  • 5/5 Alan M. 3 years ago on Google
    This place always has a great vibe. Friendly bartenders, patrons, and damn good bar food. I’d put the fish and chips up against any I’ve had in the UK. Solid establishment!

  • 5/5 Onell H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and cozy. The guy at the bar tried so hard to take care of us. Really hard working staff.

  • 4/5 Bob T. 1 year ago on Google
    I like the trivia nights. Been a standard for many years. The food is decent and the bartenders are good. Solid bar and good vibe.

    Gotta be a lil patient - small place not a lot of employees. Great beer. Try the chowdah and the fish n chips My father and I watched the Astros win the world series against the Phillies while some drunk lady from Frisco kept yelling "trash cans!" - that chowdah tasted so good

  • 4/5 Jamie K. 1 year ago on Google
    It's not a big place but obviously popular with the amount of customers there. Food was pretty good too, as well as the staff.

    I had a yummo dining experience at McSwiggans last week, the best fish and chips I’ve had in years. Also kind and helpful service from Kat. Thank you Kat, I’ll be back.

    The experience wasn't great. The bartender was already tired being the only one available to serve the bar table as well the other tables. We asked for some Irish cocktails and probably because she was tired we were told that this is a low key place and they don't do cocktails. No a response I'd expected

  • 5/5 Chris O. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to watch England in the Euro final, the bar staff are the the most hard working, and polite I have ever met in Texas, despite the volume of people, I was so impressed I gave a good tip to the main server.

  • 5/5 Cynthia T. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a really lovely time. The staff was attentive despite being one server short. The food was good, nice portions and not as expensive as a lot of other pubs. Will definitely go back.

  • 5/5 Brolen J. 2 years ago on Google
    Fish and chips were done perfectly. Tartar sauce was fhe best I've had. Beer was done proper.

  • 5/5 Pat Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place, great service. Love their beef stew.

  • 5/5 Jessica M. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the best fish and chips I've had. The fish was flaky on the inside and nice and crunchy on the outside. Fantastic!

  • 5/5 David J. 2 years ago on Google
    Food and beer was great. Staff is awesome. If you are in the area and you want to try something a little different. This is the place to go. I think this is going to be my new local pub.

👍👍 I absolutely loved stopping in for a late dinner. Mak and Myah at the bar were awesome and so chill. Great selection of draft beer and cocktails. The food is amazing. The atmosphere is laid back, and the music was on point. Mak recommended items for our dinner, and every dish was a hit. Do not skip...
