    Great experience at the Irish Pub! The atmosphere was cozy, the staff was friendly, and the Irish stew was delicious. The only downside was the noise level, but it's all part of the lively pub vibe. A great place to enjoy some traditional Irish fare and a pint!

    Wonderful pub! Incredibly kind staff. Pet friendly, like 99% of the bars and restaurants in Vienna that we’ve visited.

    If you appreciate local warm places and not just another touristic bar, you will love this pub. Excellent service, warm people, very good prices.

    Great little pub/bar with great beer and amazingly welcoming staff. As a solo newbie into the area, great to receive a warm welcome and not a stare plus Denis really looks after everyone. Sadly not been able to be back as opening a business but the time will come!

    Friendly, great staff. Best pint of Guinness in town, also like their cider (Magners) and bottled beer selection. The back area of the bar has two extensions which comfortably fits a group of people to have night-long conversations. I enjoy the place and go back there as often as time allows.

    Quite often Irish pubs are a guaranteed good time, well this pup is no exception, one reason is the variety of beers, you will need to frequent this pub a few times just to sample a portion of what's available, they have snacks and so cheap it's encouraging. Just a shame they still let people smoke, so if you're a non smoker drink outside.

    Great wrap around bar. Cozy vibes. Very kind and friendly staff. TV showing sports. Good Guinness. Gave me a charge on my phone. I do not think they do much food. Music played is oldies classics mostly when I was there Friday at 6pm. My favourite Irish pub so far on my Irish pub pub crawl... bockshorn, long hall, Charlie, molly's...

    Has potential in principle, but went there to have two whiskeys which tasted very much like watered down. There are better Irish pubs in Vienna. On the up side, they appear to have a rather large selection of craft beers and quick staff.

    Solid Irish pub with great staff and service, football broadcast, good beer, somehow more familiar atmosphere than in some of the other, bigger Irish pubs in Vienna and also less noisy... Perfect for some relaxed drinks with friends

    I was yesterday with my friends there, we had a great time!! The place looks cosy, the service was excellent and the waitress was really friendly, we asked her for some info about Vienna and she was really helpful. We recommend this place and for sure we will be back soon.

  • 1/5 Deirdre C. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the barmen coughed a number of times into his hand, then rubbed his hands together and was touching glasses. Also rubbed his nose with his hand. This was the reason I gave it a 1. It is a nice bar but this put me off

😐 The pizza was so good! I’d definitely recommend the place for the people around the area. The atmosphere and the waitress were too nice. The only negative thing about it was the waiting time for someone to come and take my order, and again for someone to bring me the check.
