    Irish breakfast! Yum! Fries were excellent as expected. Food took to long to arrive. Ok overall.

    Servers really disrespectful, aggressive for no valid or logical reason. Nice place but sadly very unpleasant staff…

    The place to be when you’re in Neuchâtel and want to feel the Irish vibes while drinking a nice pint of Guinness!

    Very friendly and professional service. Great selection of beers and good food. In addition to the same menu, a different burger is offered every month, which is a great idea.

    I loved this place. There are many expats that come there to hang out. I don't really know about the food as I didn't really eat there yet. Friday and Saturday nights there's usually some live bands playing and so far I liked all of them but that's personal preference. The people are generally friendly though a bit 'cold' but then again what does one expect if there serving food and drinks in a packed Irish bar🤣

    First visit and not the experience I was hoping for. Firstly, a nice bar with a friendly bartender. Asked for a local beer and was offered 3. Chose a blonde beer by the bottle, it was nice but CHF 9 for a 330ml bottle of local beer was in my opinion expensive. Go to pay by card and told a minimum of CHF 10 was the minimum for card payments but she suggested I top it up and give the extra as a tip! I did. Next up I ordered a draught beer but asked if I could pay for 2 and for the second beer to be poured when I finished the first. No chance! If every customer asked for that her head couldn't handle it! I was about to ask for a food menu but I overheard her say that the kitchen is closed on certain days of the week. This is a weekend in August and this town is a tourist hotspot! Now, in Ireland, we pay for everything by card, coffees, taxis, buses etc and no mention of a minimum spend. If we open a business 7 days per week, we open the entire business! Lastly a man walked behind the bar wearing a T shirt with a shamrock on it and spoke to the young bartender in a way that he should never have done, even if there were no customers around. Not acceptable! I think this establishment needs to move into the 21st century. I may try it again but much improvement is needed by the owners.

    Pub in Neuchâtel 🇨🇭, full of space inside (it has 3 floors) many bears to try, the staff is nice and welcoming and they always have football game on with their many TVs inside.

  • 5/5 Evan B. 2 years ago on Google
    My trusty expat bar. Reasonably priced beer, warm food and friendly service in both French and English. Can’t ask for anything more. Good to see things are back in full swing - weekends are always a jam here.

  • 3/5 Vinay S. 2 years ago on Google
    We were there on a weekday evening and yet the service was extremely slow. The drinks arrived fairly quickly but the food was served almost a good 45 minutes after ordering. The fries were decent but the food was passable. The selection of beers was good. It's a nice Irish pub to hang out for drinks but not a great place to eat.

    I ordered beer which was 6.50 CHF and guy who worked there told me that I can pay by card but they will charge me 10.00 CHF (he didn't explain me why). Of course, as a tourist I didn't have anything except the card so I paid. On the receipt there was only 6.50 CHF even if they charged me 10.00 CHF. Beside that beer was good, music ok, but user experience was 0 because of this. Of course, guy who worked at the bar didn't suggest me to buy 2 beers and to save the money, because minimum for card payment is 10.00 CHF. I traveled a lot and never had this kind of situation. Unfortunately if I come again in Neuchatel I will skip this bar.
