    Absolutely spot on Irish pub! Great service, really fun pub quiz with shot prizes for bonus rounds.. sat on the terrace which has a TV and speakers, would be a great place to watch sports on a sunny afternoon.

    First time in Brussels, me and my friends wanted to get some beer here. Loved the place. Chicken wings was soooo delicious oh god 😍 Also our server Ms. Katya was so nice and friendly. Once again thank you Katya for your help and good energy 😍

    Home from Home; no matter what your nationality everyone is welcome. However, English is widely spoken here which is great and inclusive for quiz night. Very Friendly, great food - if you are visiting or living here in Brussels this is a go to destination. Especially as there is a sun soaked terrace for you to watch a sport (you can ask what you want to watch) or to people watch from...

    This place was probably one of the worst pubs I have ever been to. Not Irish at all, just not the vibe at all. Not good service, bad atmosphere and rude staff. Therefore there seems to be a massive problem with management. Won’t be going back! I do not recommend this place to anyone visiting or anyone living in the area.

    Was making my way through the beautiful city of Brussels and had a craving for some good homely food and a couple pints. Luckily I stumbled upon de Valera's. As I arrived I was greeted by a balding red haired man named Ewan who was a great help when it came to recommendations and helping me decipher the menu and pick what suited me best. He then also kindly helped point me in the direction of a great pint of lager. Would 10/10 recommend and I have to commend de Valera's for their great staff selection, Ewan was incredibly helpful.

    Great atmosphere for everyone, beautifully pulled pints and fantastic service from my server Ewan! He was there for me and picked me up in my darkest days. I don’t know where I would be without him. It’s just been tough

    After a disturbing situation that the pub's staff solved well, we had a nice dinner. The fish and chips was crispy, with perfect sauces and fresh potatoes. There are some large screens to follow some events with your friends.

    A good old Irish pub. Friendly staff who all seemingly speak fluent English. We were able to watch the URC rugby final between two South African sides. The frites were a good snack and the black and tartan beer mix was pretty good too. Definitely a proper place to go if you're looking to watch rugby in Brussels. If it's a big game you may need to book a table. A few Frenchmen had secured theirs beforehand to watch the Top 14 semi final.

    Fantastic experience in Brussels! The visit started by getting welcomed by our lovely waitress, Katy. She went out of her way to ensure that we were comfortable and had plenty to drink and eat. Thank you Katy, you were amazing! I also really liked the drink you recommended: Vermouth with Tonic, delicious and perfect for the summer! I can definitely recommend this place, worth the visit!

    Great Irish bar in Flagey! I came to see the rugby on Saturday and me and my friends stayed for karaoke afterwards. Great service, Great food and it was very nice to see and Irish person running the bar. Definitely will come back soon!

  • 4/5 Petya G. 9 months ago on Google
    It's a lively place to watch Irish football, enjoy karaoke or play quizzes on Monday evenings. Another advantage especially on warm days and summer is the open terrace viewing the lake.Nice service and friendly staff.

  • 3/5 Tobias C. 11 months ago on Google
    Great location, but very pricey. Overall, I think the service was a bit overworked with the amount of tables they needed to oversee, which led to some confusion with ticketing. Decent selection of drinks and a few bites. Honestly, it's an good place to meet some friends for a little while.

    Very nice, I really like the quiz night in particular. The food is good too, I had the mozzarella sticks and also the chicken wings which came with an amazing blue cheese dip. Big thanks to the staff!

  • 4/5 Gauthier M. 11 months ago on Google
    Burgers and fries are average. Beers and vibes are awesome.

  • 5/5 Shannon 1 year ago on Google
    Love the atmosphere, staff was fast & friendly, food was good & beer was good too

    We went there on a Sunday afternoon for "breakfast" as we needed some food in between a sightseeing tour. As we entered, there were still some tables free, but as sports were streamed and the livestream of formula one coming from the speakers, we tried to find a corner with less noise. We ordered Irish breakfast and Ice tea. Drinks came immediately and the food also quite fast. It was the second time for me to have this dish there and unfortunately this time the quality was not as good as the last time. The mushrooms were really dry and looked like re-heated and only one slice of tomato was placed. The meat quality was ok. The waiters were always around, attentive and ready to take an order or the plates away. Only the noise of the livestream made it difficult to have a conversation. But that's on us picking this bar knowing it would be the case. Overall I can recommend going there but be sure to have the right expectations.

    Was there last week and had some great pints with a good burger. The server named Art was lovely to me and made sure I had an amazing experience. Come in if you like a good Guinness and some great chats

  • 4/5 Santiago Accini S. 4 months ago on Google
    The food was alright. Nothing extraordinary. The beers were fine and the atmosphere was great to watch football. Good pub

  • 5/5 Sinead D. 5 months ago on Google
    The best Irish bar in Brussels. Probably Belgium. Gréât Guinness and very good food! Will definitely recommend to everyone I know who’s coming to Brussels.

  • 4/5 Bogdan T. 7 months ago on Google
    Quick service, average prices. One particular server I did not like - she took my glass with some beer still left in there, and then she wanted to do the same with the nachos plate.

  • 5/5 Gereon Fju M. 8 months ago on Google
    Great place for their karaoke sessions which happen every week (I think) on Friday and Saturday. Very international and good vibes. Food is obviously expensive, don't buy it here. The pizzeria just left of this place is much better.

  • 5/5 Barbara G. 2 years ago on Google
    My boyfriend and I stopped here just for a quick bite.. and ended up joining the quiz night and staying there all night. We had the most fun of our vacation! Tasty food, excellent beers and great vibes!

  • 5/5 Nora W. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Maarten Van R. 2 years ago on Google
    great place to watch sports. The food they served was excellent, especially the chicken wings!

  • 4/5 Bob W. 2 years ago on Google
    Fine place for a drink or a quick byte on the terrace, watching the busy traffic and people passing on place Flagey. Kind service, fair prices 😊

  • 5/5 Sofia S. 2 years ago on Google
    A wonderful place to grab a drink with the best staff in town! A special shoutout to the beautiful Brazilian barmaster and the cheery Bolivian server!

  • 4/5 darius s. 2 years ago on Google
    Lively Irish pub in Flagey area. They show football games, organise karaoke nights. It’s decent place to sit down for a pint. Stuff is friendly and pleasant. Food is quite standard pub food.

  • 5/5 Katya B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere. Perfect location on Flagey. Service is amazing and very friendly English speaking staff. Food is great and reasonably priced. They do a great all day breakfast.

  • 5/5 Pietro M. 1 year ago on Google
    Is this the best pub in Brussels? Well, there is a big chance to be so. Come to have an immersive pub experience with traditional Irish foods and drinks. Stop with the barmen Daniel & Hector for a great chat, they will suggest you the best beers based on your taste. There is also an external area which is quite warm and cozy. Certainly vibrant!

  • 5/5 Jack K. 2 years ago on Google
    The gourmet burger was fantastic and the atmosphere was even better. They had 10 screens showing a variety of matches and the staff were extremely friendly! We ate on the terrace and had a great view of the lake.

  • 5/5 juliane correia h. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great pub, with an amazing location. The terrace makes the place even nicer (especially for the sunny days). It has a great ambience, big range of beers on tap and on bottles, food is nice and staff is friendly and helpful

  • 4/5 Sunčica B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice interier, nicely poured guiness. A bit pricey and hot but good burger

  • 5/5 P M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a nice Irish pub in Brussels (Flagey). We went there for a quiz night (in English) which I really enjoyed and found very inclusive. The fish and chips was also good.

  • 4/5 Trang N. 1 year ago on Google
    It was an Irish pub which was quite crowed in a big building. Staffs were friendly to advise type of cocktails and drink. I take a beer though.

  • 5/5 Stephanie A. 2 years ago on Google
    Stopped here before my flight and received fast&friendly service. The atmosphere was lively and the staff were very helpful. The barman Jack recommended the nicest Belgian beer. English is spoken here which is very good. They serve standard pub food but it’s still very tasty and reasonably priced - if you are visiting Flagey this is a great location.

  • 2/5 Trish D. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a nice pub, I enjoyed watching the game on the terrace. But I've never had such a terrible burger. For 14€ you wouldn't expect something whose taste profile can only be described by expressions worse than those used for a cold McDonalds, which I won't utter here for children might read this. The fries were nice.

  • 5/5 Alicia M. 2 years ago on Google
    So much fun! A great place for a delicious dinner (veggie burger!), a Guinness, and football on TV (especially when one of the players takes his shirt off...).
