Morrison’s Irish Pub

Great Irish pub. Authentic Irish folk singer which was fabulous, service is great and the food was delicious. We had the Bubbles and squeak stew, it was to die for and the bangers and mash was awesome. Atmosphere is great, we will be back again very soon. Friday and Saturday nights they have live music on the stage, we will go back for that.

I love the atmosphere here! Its very intimate and reminds me of the pubs I hit while in Kilkenny. Both times I’ve stopped in, there’s been music. I’m a sucker for live music and its mostly Irish folk, so if that’s your thing… Stop by for sure! Now… This was my first time with their food. I got the Irish slinger and I wasn’t really impressed. It’s a giant boxty (potato pancake), with bacon, egg, beans, cheddar, and some kind of tomato based sauce. The sauce just didn’t fit. I’d suggest asking for gravy instead. Their soda bread is to die for though.
Nutshell: For live music and a fun night out, it’s great. For a culinary masterpiece, It wouldn’t be my first stop.

Family run pub. Traditional fare and a wide list of Irish Whiskey. Boxty and Lamb Burger are really tasty.

Really great and authentic. We’ve been to Ireland a couple of times and this place is a very close second. The things I felt were really on point — snug and cozy warm friendly atmosphere, piping hot quickly served delicious real (obviously some Irish imported ingredients) Irish comfort food, live music. Not anything bad I can say. The only non-​authentic (besides no Irish accents) was the lack of numerous types of potatoes on one plate — but no one wants that in the US anyway. Great job, Morrison’s!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff!
We enjoyed all of our dishes: salmon platter for an appetizer, Lamb burger, bangers and mashed and the Irish wrap. We will definitely be back.

Great atmosphere. Their stew and bangers and mash makes for some excellent comfort food. I’ll definitely be back!

Atmosphere was nice. Service was pretty good. I was very disappointed in the amount of food we got for the price. Bill was $ 40 with tip for three people and this was without alcohol.

We loved this place! Friendly staff, friendly fellow drinkers. There was a fantastic live band doing Irish songs (with a few hilarious covers thrown in the mix). There were song lists with lyrics on the tables. Great beers on tap (a few local brews too). I loved the giant clock by the door. The atmosphere was home-​y and felt very authentic. I am used to run-​of-​the-​mill «Irish» bars that really have nothing Irish other than Guinness on tap. So thank you for making this place so much more special. I will return and excited to try the food next time.

Stopped into establishment with no expectations but just a different type of venue. Pleasantly surprised at the comfy cozy home feel. Staff was very outgoing and friendly. We didn’t eat a full meal but sampled some of the Side items. Very flavorful and the cook sent an extra side order of gravy as I asked for. We will definitely go back for full meals.

Such a cute and cozy pub with great décor and friendly staff. Their drink menu offered a good variety of creative cocktails, while their food menu offers authentic dishes featuring corned beef, cottage (Shepard’s) pie, and cabbage.
I highly recommend getting the Irish Soda Bread while you wait for your meal (I was pleasantly surprised by its sweetness). I tried the Bubble and Squeak to start and really enjoyed the creamy broth loaded with cabbage and ground beef. I also had the Bangers and Mash. While I thought the bangers were yummy, I was disappointed by the mash, which seemed almost watery and needed some salt. As for their Cottage Pie, I was expecting a more dense dish, like a customary Shepherd’s Pie. There’s was more of a stew almost, however, maybe that’s how it is traditionally made.
I’m excited that the owners chose to open up shop in Alton and add to the city’s offerings. I hope that they find success and prosperity :)
