    Came in for a late dinner and drinks but we were late and the kitchen was closed. The staff was very nice and friendly even though we’re had accidentally been those jerks that came in five minutes before closing. My partner had a tap beer and I had the Carmel Appletini. They were delicious. Will be back soon (and earlier) to try out the menu.

    Great Irish pub! They offer good food, friendly service, and live music in the bar on some nights. Plenty of seating in the bar and in the dining rooms. Tables and booths are seating options. The menu offers many corned beef options. Their salads are always served fresh and crisp. The Guinness Onion Soup is AMAZING! We have tried many entrees and have not been disappointed. Some favorites include the potato skins with corned beef, the wedge salad, pub salad, prime rib sandwich, and macaroni with corned beef. The portion sizes are hearty and the prices reasonable. There is lots of parking available.

    My boyfriend and I have been coming for our date nights to Hooley’s recently and have become obsessed! I ALWAYS order the caramel Appletini which is so delicious and very sweet! Be careful with this one as it will get me buzzed super quick. Their $5 Margaritas are okay I won’t be ordering that anymore, but on Tuesday they’re $5 and the tacos are super cheap! My boyfriend had the calamari tacos and he said they were really good! I included photos of the salmon which was delicious and the burger we had was so good! I recommend trying their Mac and cheese it’s so addicting! The tater tots and wings are a must try! Def will be coming in more often and the waiters are so nice! Do NOT get me started on the bread pudding, it’s so yummy and great when still warm even when it’s cold too! Never had any issues with waiting, but it does get busy so come in a bit earlier then you want to get seated! Super close to the theater as well, perfect for any date night!

    Delicious Taco Tuesday tacos. $4.50/each for medium large tacos. I had corned beef on one and grilled fish on the second one. Both were very very good. WE shared a mud pie at the end (there were 3 of us). Some weekends they have a live band, but not on Tuesdays.

    I have been coming here for over 15 years. Great food, consistent quality every time. My wife and I think they have the best fish and chips in town. Great portions. Large drink options, too, if you want a good beer. Servers are always so friendly.

    We tried this place on a whim and have been back several times since, always great food and service! Good drinks, good specials, unique dishes you can't get elsewhere. Large, shareable portions and great happy hour deals. We celebrated my birthday here and can't wait to go back and try more dishes on the menu. I'd recommend the Irish Stew Boxty, bacon red cabbage, and bread pudding.

    A bit of a long wait for seating. I had the Irish stew that I would have preferred a different meat but good overall flavor. Wait staff was attentive in their service.

    Great Pub and Restaurant. The food and drinks are very good. I had the Ruben sandwich with Irish fries and a Guinness. My wife had the Prime Rib Dip and Tater Tots. We shared a Kilkenney salad. All portions were large The service is prompt, polite, and efficient

    Casual dining, Irish pub-like. Not unduly expensive. Been going there for 20 years. Wife likes the turkey burger & like the corned beef sandwiches. Good beer selection. Favorite is. Boddington (English)

    Came to see Tony Cummins play his traditional Irish songs. Introduced my wife to some Irish foods in the process. Enjoyed some Guinness. Place was clean, and decorated to seem much older then it is, which is great. Newer Irish bar done right.

    My friends love coming here and we come often for dinner. This was never my choice of restaurant because of their limited vegetarian choices. However, last time, I did find a good combo - the zucchini tacos with some sweet potatoes on the side. It's an alright alternative for me. Because we will continue returning and the place does have a really neat atmosphere, good drinks and really friendly staff.

    Fun neighborhood bar and restaurant. Despite the oddity of tacos at an Irish pub, we ordered the calamari tacos to split. They were delicious and the calamari was thick, tender, and perfectly cooked. Beer specials for happy hour were the perfect accompaniment. Service is friendly, attentive, and gracious. We'll be back!

    Friendly, attentive service. Staff were very accommodating and helpful with our order. Our meals were warm and served precisely as ordered. Nice place to have dinner or just drinks. Parking is easy with plenty of spaces close to the entrance. Well lit parking lot too for evening visits.

    Spent xmas there, the band was fun and so were the patrons.

    Dinner was great! I had the grill salmon & shrimp. I had a problem with some patrons hugging the service while she was handle my martini. The manager was very nice & personable, but $2 off of my drink not good enough especially with Covid around, but oh well. I still enjoyed my meal & I will probably return. I hope this was a learning lesson. How to not except while handling food or drinks.

    We had fish and chips (9/10, a huge portion, and both the fish and the fries were excellent) and a burger with tater tots (9/10). Food was great, drinks were EXCELLENT and respectably strong. The atmosphere was cozy and pub-y as expected, and the interior is absolutely HUGE. We were overall happy with our experience .

    Good and friendly service. Staff was awesome for our large group and food was delicious. Anything corned beef is worth a try.

    We only had one disappointment and that was the bar drinks were small and in plastic cups! It was a crowd pleaser had a good band and we also had a man playing the bagpipes! So very cool for an early New Year's celebration food was amazing!

    Nice public house. Fish and chips are definitely something that should be tried if you come here even once. I prefer the tots over the fries and they definitely give you a pile of tots. Been here twice with friends and the atmosphere is half Pub half restaurant. Be prepared for some noise as the atmosphere is Lively. We will be back.

    We had a couple drinks and shared a burger before seeing a movie next door. Staff were all very nice, burger was very good and there are a lot of craft beers on tap. I'd go back

    Great Irish food. The Sheppard's Pie is one of a kind. $5 drafts during happy hour. Good atmosphere and friendly servers.

    I couldn’t see that my last review posted so I’ll post again with the short version. The food was great, the atmosphere was great, and the service was great. Shout out to Dillon (sp) and the service staff he worked with. Y’all made the experience awesome.

    We got led to the back of the restaurant where we were seated. About 20minutes later I had to flag down the host to ask if we could order our food. Shortly after our waitress came by and took our order. I think she checked on us once while eating and the family next to us had to ask for water twice from a man carrying dishes. We finished our food and walked to the front of the restaurant to pay for our meal. I really love hooleys and hope that can do better in the future. Id go to the LA mesa location.

    This was one of the best places that I've been to in a long time. And it's even better because it's a family-owned business. Not some kind of Nationwide chain. I got the potato pancake stuffed with corned beef and cabbage and it was delicious. The onion soup was the best I've ever had bar homemade. Next time I come I want to try this half and half Burger.
