Restaurant Bar Irish pub

🫤 As any true Guinness drinker can appreciate, I was excited based off the pictures to get a reliable pint but as you can see that was far from the truth. Really was looking forward to a great pint but abandoned that dream following the picture added. Other than that it was fine People often mention good, beer, Tirana, staff, beers, great, Irish, nice, service, menu,

    The location was good. However we have been to Irish Pubs all over the world and this was not! They did have a huge Variety of Beers but definitely no Irish Food on the menu. There also wasn't a semblance of an Irish Pub atmosphere.

    Cute place. I took the lunch menu and it has a variety of options each day (salad/soup, main plate and drink for 520ALL)

    Visited Tirana and found this bar through recommendations. It's not far from the Tirana Pyramid. Staff were very welcoming and spoke English (which really helped 😉) Huge selection of lagers, ciders, guinness and cocktails at a reasonable price. Didn't order any food, but smelt and looked delicious. Debit cards accepted. Great atmosphere. Would definitely come back again.

    I arrived Tirana late for the first time because my flight was delayed. I was still able to get some food at Medusa. Erind and Christian were very nice attending to me. I came back several times to eat since it was close to my hotel. It was my go to restaurant. The food was freshly made, didn’t take long and tasted nice. Nice music, nice location highly recommended.

    I’ve been coming to this place for 11 years, less often the past years. I love the place, the ambience, the music is always good and I appreciate the fact that they keep the same standard. This is the only place that has original draught Guinness! Service is always very good. My only disappointment lately is the fact that they don’t have a non-smokers space anymore, they used to have an indoors space isolated with closed doors from the outside space where people can smoke, but now the whole place is in smoke. This is very disrespectful for people that don’t want to smoke or have medical conditions and cannot resist the smoke. I hope they can realize that, and bring back the standard they had. Everything else is great.

    Came here to watch some English football whilst in Tirana. The drinks are on the expensive side (for Albania that is, still cheap compared to home) but this didn't matter too much. Service was fast and the staff were friendly. Plenty of screens so lots of different sports can be on at once.

    A liter of Guinness draft, a ok! For 6 stars, maybe use a Guinness glass instead of a Paulaner. But otherwise A+.

    Very quiet. Only foreign beers on draught. I was hoping to buy a less expensive Albanian beer.

    Good food and good service

  • 3/5 Arditi D. 5 years ago on Google
    Place is generally good. Avoid going when there is a match or on weekend evenings if you want a good service. The missing stars are for the food quality which is very poor.

  • 1/5 Elena B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Brendan C. 5 years ago on Google
    Saw great reviews of this place but was pretty disappointed. Pretty big bar with a outside seating area. Staff were helpful but I thought the food we ordered was pretty poor (finger food; wings, ribs etc) and was quite flavourless. All in all one place that I wouldn't recommend

  • 4/5 Aaron D. 1 year ago on Google
    Decent Guinness, it had no domage or shtick, but fairly decent for Albania. The old saying "Guinness doesn't travel". Inside, not very much was Irish about it, just more of a sports bar. Guinness was pretty expensive, 650 Lek for a pint. That's around €6..

    Nice location and a lot of outdoor seating space but cocktails were horrible. Beer selection is good. Nice staff.

  • 5/5 Jon G. 1 year ago on Google
    Best place in town for beers! Try their draught selection. Or a vodka sour, you can never go wrong with a vodka sour. My favorite place in Tirana whenever I'm visiting. If you want to order finger food try their sausage, fries and chicken fingers. They'll not disappoint.

  • 5/5 Pablo B. 1 year ago on Google
    For me one of the best Pub in Tirana. Very friendly and professional staff. The food is very good and the atmosphere is great. Also very good for watching international football.

  • 5/5 Mari B. 1 year ago on Google

    It was too late to get food so i can't comment on that, but the toilet was clean, the drinks good and the waiters super friendly. Nice garden, too

  • 1/5 patrizia a. 8 months ago on Google
    the only time during our two Werks in Tirana that we have had bad service. He was not interested. Pushy to choose the food in a hurry. Then the main courses came before the starters. One person of the four of us had to wait for a very long time. We had already finished. Quality of food poorly. Again: any other food in Tirana was really really nice. Just not in this place. We were also told that they only serve water of beer. No sodas ?!? Not going back there. No love. No passion. No service. No quality. A real pity as usually an Irish pub is a save bet anywhere in the world.

    I came to Meduza for the first time last year as part of my first Albanian trip. The staff is very friendly and spoke English which made it easier to converse. I came back this summer to the same spot and it didn’t disappoint. If you’re in need of a beer or two and some good piadinas while watching a soccer match, this is my new post

  • 5/5 Mia G. 8 months ago on Google

    Had a great time. It's a huge popular bar and restaurant. I had a white wine and some grilled prawns and a salad. Very tasty. Large menu for both food and drinks. Attentive wait staff. Lots of staff so even though really busy I was never neglected. Very relaxed.

    Irish style pub in the centre of Tirana. Lots of screens inside for watching sports and outside there is a large covered terrace with heaters for the smokers. Only really Irish thing about it is that it serves Guinness, also serves London Pride, some European lagers and local beers. Serves pub type food and sharing platters such as chicken wings, chips, and strangely frogs legs. Good if your looking for a British type pub.

    This is the last time I visit this place after being asked by the staf to change table and go inside only because I was not accompanied by a girl. I just wanted to have a beer with my brother. I suppose if you're gay or have a different skin color you will be asked the same. Highly arrogant service does not deservey my money. You've been warned!

    (Translated by Google) The most idiotic place in Tirana !! You are not allowed to be unaccompanied to drink a beer at 7 o'clock in the afternoon with a friend because I did not convince the waiter when the night before I was in the same place and received normal service like all people. This is the Ignorance that will leave Albania 40 years behind any kind of country in the world. And we fools who come and spend money in Albania. PS. Remember that you are just a "Beer" (Original) Vendi me idiot ne tirane!! Nuk lejohesh I pa shoqeruar per te pire nje birre ne Oren 7 te mbasdites me nje shok sepse nuk ja mbusha mendjen kamarierit kur nje Nate perpara isha ne te njejtin vend dhe mora sherbim normal si te gjith njerezit. Kjo eshte Injoranca qe do e le Shqiperine 40 vjet mbrapa nga çdo lloj vendi te botes. Dhe budallenj ne qe vime dhe shpenzojme leke ne Shqiperi. PS. Mos harroni se jeni vetem nje "Birrari"

    When you order a “mix”, like in every other place you expect a little bit of some finger food mixed into one. We get the mix and not only is really meh, with 1/4 of it being just cheese & pickles but the price on the bill was ridiculous. The server didnt put it as a “mix” but picked some of the stuff from the menu like we ordered them separately and they were all on the bill. If we knew this would happen we would not waste the money on 700L sausages or 700L cheese basket which were barely filling, half a serving on everything even though we paid full price. 2 people for 3500L is ridiculous for Tirana, i’ve been in 80% of Tirana’s bars and tried their mixes and never ran into this problem. When we told staff about this they were like “oh i did it so its cheaper for u”. We should’ve been told how it worked when we ordered, not after. I did not want to spend stupid money on cheese and pickles, nonetheless the money it’s more about how the staff acted and behaved during our stay that left me a bad taste. Bad experience.

    Be very careful when deciding what to order here. The staff is very shady and will try to scam you. Me and my friends ordered a mix here and we were shocked when we saw that it costed around 3000L. In all other places it would cost 3 times less and with even better quality than here at Medusa. These guys didn’t even have a mix on the menu so they put whatever they liked separately on the bill without even asking the customer about it. In the end the guy that printed the bill told us that if he would put the mix as a whole and not separate it would be even more expensive. We told the guy to tell us where this mix is in the menu and he admitted that there is no mix 😂. Never going there again as nothing left me impressed and the staff was one of the most disappointing I have ever seen.
