Blarney Tavern

Been here a few times back in the day. Clean, friendly barkeep and good drinks. They used to serve food and I’ve eaten «The Bird» a few times here (grilled chicken) and it was good.
Place has been around forever and its a good place to grab a cold one.

A nice place. I went in for some Guinness and I didn’t even have to pay for it.

So here’s the story. This bar has been in the same location for over 50 years. It is run by an 80-​year old Irish man who is friendly, legit, and doesn’t take any nonsense in his place. It is incredibly clean and well-​maintained. Bathrooms smell good, floor is polished, etc. The clientele is definitely older and on the rougher side. Almost everyone there is a regular. HOWEVER, they are uniformly pleasant and welcoming and it is a safe place to relax and have a beer. Don’t be put off because this is a «ghetto bar.» Bud and Stella are on draft, but almost everyone drinks bottles or mixed drinks. If an older black gentleman named Hollywood is there, make sure you talk to him and enjoy a story or two. If you are killin time in the neighborhood and need a place to chill, this is a good spot 2 blocks from the train station.

Okay this pub used too be my hangout years ago went yesterday saw some old freinds. Bartender did not make my Margarita good, second one was better cause i let him know make it strong. Found out also no food served anymore. Wasnt same vibe. Will come back on a friday cause thats when my bartender is on duty.

Good spot. Cheap drinks. Friday happy hour-​there is a DJ… nice mixed crowd (mostly over 30).
Good spot if you just want to kick it for a bit and get a strong drink. Parking free after 7 on the street.

Don’ t take this review too seriously because I was pretty well stoned when we went in – the other reviewer said it all well. I don’t even remember what I drank there — probably rum. Suprisingly there was a big buffet of soul food which I think was free

Still $ 5 for great strong drinks including Bacardi.
Nice and quiet during the afternoon

I gave it a sentimental 4 stars, this is my local Irish pub, though, don’t let the name fool you, there’s nary an Irishman in sight, haha. This is a ghetto ass bar, as ghetto as they come, hipsters talk about dive bars like Mars Bar gathers the skeaviest of Skid Row but it doesn’t compare to a place like this, this shit is divey, it doesn’t pretend to be in a bougie neighborhood.
That said, the prices are dirt cheap, 2 bucks for a draft of Bud (it’s the only thing on tap, I was there last night and they ran out, so it was bottles after that). I came here for my b-​day ages ago and they gave us, my three cousins and I, four Rounds of shots on the house (make sure you read that carefully, the bartender had each of the rounds with us) and charged us like ten bucks for 3 rounds of beer, if you tip (and I don’t mean generously, just tip, period) then a buyback will surely come your way.
The patrons are mostly locals and although they may look rough and tumble, don’t let that fool you, they’re there to have a good time and are welcoming, for the most part. Let’s just say this place ain’t for the faint-​hearted.
