    What an awesome little "rugby break" we had at this place, to watch our team win the game. No ways one could say a negative thing except that the water tap in the woman's toilet was not delivering water.

    Love the food here. Traditional pub food plus Buffalo wings. Cottage pie is a must. This is the best Irish pub in Haarlem. Brekkie and Sunday roast is top!

    We have moved to Haarlem a few months ago and soon after this authentic Irish Pub has become one of our favourite places to eat and have a drink. In addition to the many delicious Irish dishes, if your like Spare Ribs you’re in for a treat, the best I have tried in Holland so far. In addition to the good food, Tierney’s staff are very friendly and make you always feel at home. If you’re a sport enthusiast it’s also a great place to watch Rugby and F1 among other sports since they have many screens. I definitely recommend this place!

    I gave this Irish pub more than one chance (there is not much to choose from in town!) but every time I'm disappointed. Guinness is good there, but food is overpriced and not good quality. I had Sunday roast two times, and I will not go there again for more. The (only) other Irish in Haarlem is much better quality and lower prices, both for beer and food.

    There's no place like home, but there's a place that comes quite close. Every night I spend in Tierney's ends up being a very memorable one. Perhaps the lovely patrons, or maybe the silky Guinness, but one thing is for certain: their spicy wings are too pure for this earth. Service is excellent and Paul is a gentleman.

    Lovely place, amazing food drink and warm environment. I love that place ♡ But the new two waitresses one young boy with black hair and one woman with curly hair (she italian) they are absolutely rude and don't know how to deal with customer or any knowledge of customer service. Please if you read this learn how to say please or smile, or be kind. When you give a order and I say thank you if you don't reply you are rude, or replay with yes is same RUDE.

    Consistently good food. Super friendly staff (stark difference compared to the other Irish pub in Haarlem). If you don’t like it here you probably hate good times and refreshing beverages. I mean tell me this isn’t the most refreshing looking GNT you’ve ever seen! Just sayin…

  • 5/5 Rosalie Armstrong Barkley - B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Good service and delicious comfort food. Of course we had ordered way too much. The Loaded Sweet Fries are sooooo delicious. And the chicken burger was delicious too. My husband had the nachos and a Blue Angus burger. It was delicious but unfortunately we couldn't all finish it and rolled out again. (Original) Goede service en heerlijk comfort food. Wij hadden uiteraard veel te veel besteld. De Loaded Sweet Fries zijn zooooo lekker. En de kip burger was ook om van te smullen. Mijn man had de nachos en een Blue Angus burger. Het was heerlijk maar we konden het helaas niet allemaal op en rolden weer naar buiten.

    We know this place since our first visit to Haarlem in 2018. We visit this lovely city almost every year and when we stay -usually for 7/10 nights- we always have dinner here. It is a great place for a couple of pints of guinness and nice pub comfort food. Burgers, fries, bitterballen ,pies... everything is supper yummy. We even have had twice new years eve dinner in this place with a special menu at a reasonable price. Staff is really nice and helpful. should you have any question the owner is always looking forward to giving answer to emails or messages. I can only recommend this place if you fancy Irish style pub food, drinks and athmosphere. We will be back soon again for sure.

    Best Irish bar in the Netherlands. Great staff, food and atmosphere. Everyone working here is friendly and professional and the customers are always nice. The spare ribs are the best I have ever eaten and fall off the bone. Tierneys really feels like a home from home for an Irish/British expat living abroad. If you like sports there are many TVs and options and the staff will always try their best to accommodate you if you have a request. Children and dog friendly. A definite must if you are visiting Haarlem anytime soon.

    A staple that we have been visiting for a long time now. Amazing food, good portions, great music and staff. Amazing Guinness pours and lovely pub quiz evenings. I had the blue cheese burger and the buffalo chicken burger which is absolutely out of this world!

    Absoulte unreal banter. Nice staff, beautiful food and very Friendly. SAM AND Aaron are top class. And the owner (sorry didn't get his name) bought a round of drink. Proper class x

  • 5/5 Cees van der P. 2 years ago on Google
    Best Irish pub in town. Great food (I think that everything on the menu is simply delicious), great staff, just a nice atmosphere with a great audience as well...

  • 4/5 Leanne De S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice cosy Irish Pub. Came as part of the tasty walk and couldn’t help ourselves to a cider. Menu looks great and would love to return when in Haarlem again. Service was good and staff were friendly.

  • 4/5 Rajeshree P. 2 years ago on Google
    When you hankering for a full English Breakfast …Tierneys hits the spot perfectly..

  • 4/5 Anjana M. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food, very friendly service. Beautiful place to sit outside, next to the Grote and people watch. The fries were amazing! Loved the burger and the sweet potato wrap. Fresh and yummy!

  • 5/5 Asad U. 3 years ago on Google
    Irish pub in the town. Nice cozy place with good food in afternoon. Right in the centre of Haarlem, on sn adjacent street to Great market and main church.

  • 5/5 Nicole 2 years ago on Google
    Went on a Monday evening for pub quiz night - super fun and will definitely go back! Three euros to play and it lasts two hours so well worth the money for a night of entertainment. Beers pretty expensive though but served in pint glasses. I wish the pub quiz questions were a bit more varied - maybe to include questions about science.

  • 4/5 Mohammad Nasir N. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was great. I personally loved my Tierney Burger, but the service was poor. The waitress could not explained the menue, were not aware of their beer stuck, and finally forgot the kid's food which was supposed to be prepared earlier than rest of us.

  • 5/5 Allison E. 2 years ago on Google
    Ok, I love this place! I probably come here every other week or so. There's always a really boisterous atmosphere and the food is just really good bar food. I've had the kamikaze ribs, buffalo wings (even my Dutch bf loves these!), Philly cheese steak, and Chicken ranch wrap and I have never been disappointed. Now I need to go sometime for brunch!

  • 1/5 Cyndy K. 1 year ago on Google
    Slow, slow, slow service. 16:00 walked in, 17:08 still no food. How long does fish&chips take? Don’t come over hungry☹️

  • 5/5 Elle 2 years ago on Google
    Great place, great food, lovely owners. I’ve been here on various occasions for the pub quizzes, get togethers with friends and for a meal out. I love sitting on their terrace as well right next to the Grote Kerk.

  • 4/5 Margaux L. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was great and served quickly and the general atmosphere at the pub is good. Service was however not friendly, quite the opposite. Waitress seemed very annoyed any time we wanted to order something.

  • 1/5 shauna l. 4 months ago on Google
    I received a pint of Guinness with black dots on the top that had definitely been sitting behind the bar for 30/40 minutes. The waitress on the day was very angry kicking bar stools in rage and very rude to customers. Wont be back

  • 4/5 Bret B. 5 months ago on Google
    As they say, an Irish pub in every city. It's a goto over when I'm hungry and undecided. It seems to draw a strong Irish expat crowd. Good food, varied menu, cold pints.

  • 5/5 Mary J. 4 months ago on Google
    Really nice cosy atmosphere. We were able to watch rugby while the kids sat happily eating their chicken tenders and chips. Very nice staff and good Guinness!

    Great we place to get nice bite to eat. Really welcoming staff. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Def recommend to others.

  • 5/5 Cheryl V. 8 months ago on Google
    I just love these Irish Pubs where the atmosphere is relaxed and the food is wonderful. The shared platter is definitely worth it but you might want to take a slight pause before going on to the main course. We were both so full but still tried to eat because of the great taste. We're definitely going there again. By the way this was probably our third or fourth visit 😊

  • 5/5 Nuno S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is by far best "bang for the buck" in town. Amazing in all ways. Do not fall in the trap of the overpriced Haarlem city centre offer. This is the place to go for a bite and a drink.

  • 4/5 Sean M. 11 months ago on Google
    7.30 euro a pint. Nor too too busy when we there. Nice staff nice atmosphere will go again. Good selection of beer some ipa's

  • 5/5 Keith R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great little place. Good menu, for some home cooking I stead of the normal steak and burgers.

  • 5/5 Chadi W. 1 year ago on Google
    A gem in Haarlem. Great food, a wide variety of beer, friendly staff and a nice place to hangout. The place is also regularly attended by football fans to watch a game. Reservation is advisable especially in winter when the outside area is closed and there are fewer available seating spots.

  • 5/5 Stephen Q. 1 year ago on Google
    Great music, great atmosphere and football on the tally when required. Staff and service were top drawer 😁

  • 5/5 Kenni T. 1 year ago on Google
    The servers here are super cute. Not super related to anything but hey if you're on vacation it's nice to see some good looks. The food was delicious and fresh, I ate it ALL. The beers were good as well.

  • 3/5 Vesna R. 4 months ago on Google
    This time the burgers we got were not delicious as they use to be. What is changed?

  • 5/5 Christine R. 2 years ago on Google
    Brilliant service! Absolutely fantastic food. I had the steak and it was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back soon!

  • 4/5 Vidar S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for a pint or two. Did not have anything to eat. It looks as if they also have live concerts.

  • 5/5 Lowpoly P. 1 year ago on Google
    Pretty small pub. Not the best Guinness in my life, but 8/10. Food is ok for pub - beef stew was quite tasty and with plenty of meat. Price - actually was a bit higher that I’d like to see, but price/quality is much better comparing to any other bar/pub in neighbourhood. Overall - my personal #1 for now in the middle of Haarlem

    Food was horrible. I have no idea how they have good reviews. The fish and chips was disgusting. The fish wasn't even crispy. It was covered in this soft and mushy coating. I would not recommend anyone to eat here. Save your money. You're better off just buying frozen fish at Albert Heijn.

    Its a pub! With pub food! it has a good price! Amazing fish and chips! With vinegar and dirty ketchup flasks on the table! They have Guiness! They have cider! They have a lovely crew! Its a pub! Go here!

  • 5/5 Carolina L. 4 years ago on Google
    Very nice place! The food is really good and the beers too of course. Staff is super friendly and nice, and you can experience a true Irish atmosphere inside!

  • 4/5 Riccardo 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious burger, one of the best eaten in my life, and for this it should deserve 5 stars!! However, I have to say that the service is quite slow, even in moments when the place is empty. Moreover, when I went there I realized that the prices advertised outside where not aligned with the one on the menu (which were 0.50-1.00€ higher for each dish): they said that they had just changed the prices and didn't had time yet to update the billboard outside, however I found it not correct for the customers.

  • 4/5 Dirk H. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Dirk VAN G. 4 years ago on Google
    Phili cheese steak was top.

  • 5/5 Miles Davis S. 2 years ago on Google
    Went here for the food. The kamikaze ribs did not disappoint, the meat was tender and fell right off the bone and the marinade was spicy enough to make my girlfriend gasp for air. The fish & chips was also on point. Generous portions too. Nice atmosphere, good music and very good service. Good times.

  • 3/5 F Z. 3 years ago on Google
    The meat is fine but the bread of the hamburgers is terrible. Fries are also ok and the staff is friendly. Probably not the best experience ever to watch football but I do not any better option in the city center.

  • 3/5 Jos V. 4 years ago on Google
    I've amended the rating, I was a bit bitter after leaving, rated too harshly. The staff was super friendly and only good things to say about them :) There was frustration for my friends and me for being pushed against constantly because we were forced to stand in an awkward location (because it was just too busy, we were standing essentially directly behind the row at the bar). Noticed the same on other people passing by. But yeah, nothing to do about this. It's simply the building layout and the way other visitors were pushing more rudely than needed. But service was ace! Have a good day :)

    Good ambience (it's a proper Irish bar); great staff, good pub food and they show all the 'must see' sports on TV like the 6 Nations Rugby, Rugby World Cup (distant memory) and English Premier League. It can get loud and boisterous during the matches but remains somewhere you can bring the bairns. Nice place and a regular when I am in Haarlem.

    Unfortunately not as Irish as expected. The interior doesn't distinguish from a normal pub, the fish'n'chips wasn't special either. The service was friendly, the Guinness good.
