    It had been a few years since I last visited and I was disappointed in what I saw. They are no longer open for traditional Irish breakfasts and don't open until around 4pm now. Guinness is only available in small cans and there are no dark beers on tap nor any traditional British beers. You cannot call it an Irish pub anymore. One thing that hasn't changed is the lackluster service. Cannot imagine going back frankly.

    Definitely not what I expected based on reviews and website information. I had a burger and fries and prefer McDonalds to what was served at this place and I didn’t like the feel or vibe at all. I guess it’s not for everyone. This is purely a bar that serves bar food.

    This is a great place! Really good vibes, lovely, clean, safe and an awesome location. The beer was ice cold and the music fabulous (rock classics)! The staff were very friendly and switched on and the food was great, definitely recommend this place! Thanks Tom (the owner, who was on hand to check we were all happy with everything), we will see you again next time we are in Panama city for sure👍

    Stopped in for 2 for 1 draft beer and free appetizer as posted on board outside. Beer was fine, but were $6 for the 2 beers. Asked about appetizer when we ordered beer which was acknowledged, but nothing more was said and we never were given a choice or received anything.

    It was an okay place. Kind of weird to find an "Irish Pub" in Panama but the place we originally wanted to dine was closed. Food was normal bar fare. The outdoor deck was nice and seemed to be a nice place to hang with friends. Staff were very pleasant.

    We love hanging out here with friends. It is located across from Andres Bello park. My favorite items on the menu are the quesadilla and the salads.

    Had the grilled Chicken with Avocados, a vinegar/oil salad and fries. The dish was very nice. I would order that again.

    In the heart of the city, this is an Irish American pub with good food and drinks. It can be a bit hard to find parking some days but the Greta attention and the atmosphere are worth the effort

  • 5/5 Stephen P. 1 year ago on Google

    They bring wrong bills, then change it to something higher when confronted and even charge more at the moment of credit card payment. They are complete fraud. Avoid at all cost!

    Food was good. Young ladies that be serve us that day was very knowledgeable of what is available and the service was very good.

    The craft beer was quite good but the food was only okay. I was there during the new year's eve and the only waitress was doing everything she could to keep a big crowd all well received, really impressive service from her. Nice Panamanian music and Irish decor, but I didn't get where it gets its californian name.

    If I could give them more than 5 starts, I would. Such a great atmosphere, the Owner makes you feel so welcomed and so professional. The picada mixta? It's one of my favorite dishes in Panama. A must go to when visiting Panama City.

  • 4/5 David A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great tasting burgers, and a good place to hang out with friends to have some drinks and play pool, sing karaoke, play darts and more. The service needs a bit of improvement though. Servers could be more attentive.
