Abbey Pub

Favorite bar on 7^th. Pool tables, tvs and games, can bring your own food, cold beer good drinks. Great place to seriously chill with your friends extremely laid back with none of that annoying tcu student drama. Love the staff and owners!

went on a saturday to watch some English football.
inside looks pretty cool. staff was nice… gave us nuts and donuts for free while watching the game.
i will be back to watch games here.

Great spot!

One of the best pubs in the metroplex. I live in Dallas but grew up in Ft Worth. I have been around many spots in the metroplex and this is one of the most consistent pubs to get a good strong drink besides Rick O’Sheas downtown. I don’t go to meat markets and I absolutely refuse to go to the racist Library downtown. On more than one occasion, I was told my clothing was too baggy but I just left from work where I dress conservatively business casual. TCU hipster/​frat jackasses can come in looking practically homeless but I can’t get in? DWB. Drinking While Black. I will not discuss that crap bar any further.
As with any local mom/​pop like this, just take the time and ask the bartenders their name. Any local pub place is like that if you want better service such as The Grotto, Boiled Owl, or Lola’s. Waving money, fingers, yelling hey, or whatever puts you at the back of the Que. I make it a point to know a bartenders name on the first drink or tip solid so they know I am someone to keep watch on. Bar Basics 101. Smoke leaves much to be desired here but I hope FTW joins the other Texas cities in the smoking ban. Just ask for Dusty and he will sort you out proper!
Fantastic Spot…

Went for a World Cup game. Packed shoulder to shoulder with sweaty beer fans! It was fun. Beer was good and great place for a good crowd. Service was good for the busy night. Parking is hard to find and I wished they could have helped the crowd by better organization of the tables and chairs. I mean who sits at a World Cup match?’

This is a well respected bar by the locals. They serve drinks, not food so grab your friends and a pizza and watch the game, sit and chat, play some darts! Ive met some really cool people here, which is a nice break from some bars that attract weirdos. The owner is really nice, and it is easy to see he cares about his bar and customers. They constantly bring in new beers, which is nice because I like to try new things, the idea of a bar that never varies makes me sick. The staff is cool, they don’t mess around and id everyone. I actually love that, because the bars on berry are drowning in 19 year olds which is weird.

My first visit was on St. Patty’s Day. The exterior does not do the interior justice. It’s clean and actually somewhat cozy. Major bonus points: the restroom was very clean.
Now for the reason I only gave it 2 stars: the service. Initially it was fine, but trying to get another round of drinks was nearly impossible. That’s not good at all when we were sitting at the bar and it wasn’t that busy. Apparently, you have to be a regular to get adequate service. I sat there with an empty drink glass and empty water glass for a good 10 mins. and when I tried to make eye contact with the female bartender with the mohawk, I was completely ignored. I must reiterate: sitting at the bar with two empty glasses in front of me.
She acknowledged others and just ignored my attempts to get her attention. It is due to her disregard for us that we will NOT be able to return.
I’m disappointed as I just recently moved back to the area from Dallas and was hoping to find a new pub.
I already miss the Dallas pubs.

WARNING: This place will throw you out if you look the least bit intoxicated. My friend stumbled a bit in her heels (she doesn’t wear them often) and they threw her out. Ruined our night. She hadn’t talked to anyone; we had literally just come inside. She went to the restroom and as she sat down, the bouncer told us we had to leave. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a place of business. Don’t come here if you have been drinking anywhere else, I guess? Not recommended.

This place has really gone down hill since it changed owners. It use to be called «Shamrock» and it was a nice place to go meet friends and have a nice evening out. However, it’s become sort of sleezy and I really don’t feel safe in there anymore. I don’t think the new owners are in touch with it’s customers.

I went to Abbey on a Thursday night at around 730. Great dark and woody atmosphere. The bartenders were very personable and attentive. Many people were regulars. They were very friendly and great conversation. The noise level was low. More like a true pub. A decent amount of taps (Goose island IPA, 4 Rahr taps, Guinness, Smithwicks, a cider, Bud Light, Mich Ultra, Coors light, Miller Lite), and a couple of craft brews in bottles (most of the bottles are light beers). Prices were reasonable. Overall a good place to have a quiet drink.

This place does get smokey– but they open the doors on both ends to air out the place so it makes is bearable.
The beer selection is good here, serving craft beers and standard beers. Service is quick and friendly. It’s a great neighborhood bar — you’ll see a lot of the same faces here. There are pool tables and darts, lots of seating, and food trucks around the bar to enjoy.

I’ve reviewed this place under the old name «Shamrocks.» This place is a great bar, lots of space, decent jukebox, lots of TV and I love love love the addition of the shuffle board (they need 2 of them.)
Always have decent drink deals and is located in the perfect location to start your bar hopping night.
Bartenders are decent dudes (one seems to have an attitude but you still get service.) Ask for Chris (he always has his hat on backwards) he will take care of you.

this bar is pretty cool. they have darts, pool, curling thing lol and i liked the bartenders, they were cool hooked everyone up and the prices were acceptable and it was kept clean, and theyd join in on some drinks. pretty chill place,
one set back is its a small place so it can be kinda smokey. okay really smokey.

Good people. Good brew. Good music. This is the place we often end up coming to for our post-​test wind down. I love it for a few reasons. First, they have great prices on their drinks. There are few places in FW that I can go to without spending a bunch of money on dranks. Second, the bartenders are nice. They are fast at noticing that you need a drink and faster in getting it to you! Third, you can just walk out the back door to one of my two favorite taco trucks; those being Tacoheads and The Chile Pepper Grill. Both are great! They play good music here also. Be warned it is a smoking bar and parking can be a little difficult because there are some parking lots around that seem good but they will tow your vehicle (Montgomery plaza comes to mind). Don’t be fooled by its outside diver bar appearance. Inside is nice and clean! Check it out!

This bar is awesome! Good place to hang out after work or whenever. Pool, darts, shuffle board, golden tee and putt putt. Lots of tv’s and sports on them. Revamped beer and liquor selection. My regular spot most definitely! Woot!

Some of the most successful nightclubs in Dallas back in the 90’s were, in fact, the same night club. Every year or two, as the crowds began to dwindle, they would shut it down, slap some new paint and décor on it, change the name, and reopen it. Same owners, same staff, same DJ, same location, but the crowds came back. Because in the end, they were all looking for that «new» place in town. Even if it really wasn’t new.
So it is with The Shamrock, which appears to have slapped some faux-​tudor décor on the outside, and changed the name. The interior is the same, the bartender is the same, but the crowds have descended. So if you liked Shamrock, you will like Abbey… unless what you liked about it was its laid-​back vibe, which has since been swapped for frat-​friendly.

I like Abbey Pub a lot! Cheap drinks and fun atmosphere — they have a shuffleboard and darts. There’s enough room to move around without it feeling like you’re in a warehouse. The one con is that it’s somewhat smokey. I like it because it is quieter than some of the other bigger bars on 7^th street, which can get way too loud. When you’re on a bar-​crawl with a group, Abbey is definitely one that we tend to pick as a final destination.
