Cregeen’s Irish Pub

We stopped in this pub because the trolley ride operator told us that they had purchased the inside of a bar in Dublin and brought it over and reassembled it. Honestly, we should have just stopped in for a drink and let that be it.
The food was mediocre and our waitress was at our table every 3 minutes asking if we needed anything. It’s okay if you’re looking for a refreshing pint, but I’d skip a meal here.

Solid joint for a drink. Some excellent stand-​out choices on the menu. I recommend the duck wings.

Service is terrible. Everything was sticky. Out of everything as far as beers go. Food was okay, nothing special for an «Irish Pub»

I visited Creegans this past Sunday. It was a little after 11am, and the place was empty. I was meeting my brother and his fiancé. I ordered a beer and some of the ultimate bacon cheddar fries. Those fries were absolutely amazeballs. Cheesy potato goodness. The only thing keeping it from 5 stars was the price/​size. For $ 10 you expect more, as the menu says «gluttonous» amount. So for that I gave it a four. Other than that, the crew were friendly and service was pleasant. I’ll be back.

Don’t come in after 10 PM. Or a really rude bartender will tell you cheeseburgers only. They will act very irritated and angry that you showed up to spend money there. And that’s on a Saturday night. During the week don’t show up after about 7 PM. I suggest they only stay open for lunch.

Nice pub close to the Verison Arena. Their «specialty» Ruben was just a normal ruben. The beer was cold and the shot glasses were full. Fish and chips looked spectacular with way more fish than batter.

Stopped in here for dinner and drinks 10÷8÷15 before the Motley Crue concert. Had a great time… came back after the concert for a few more drinks! Food was great, atmosphere was cool.

My boyfriend and I had the Duck wings with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce. It was Amazing. I’m personally not big on duck but those wings were juicy, seasoned well, and perfectly breaded. I can’t wait to go back for more !

Amazing Irish pub close to Verizon Arena! Went there after a concert, and the kitchen was closed– except for cheeseburgers.
Well, that cheeseburger was so amazing, we went back the next day for a lazy lunch.
Everything was great! Pretzel fondue app was perfect, and my husband ordered another (different) cheeseburger. The potato salad was great! I had the veggie wrap, with «chips» and it was great too.
Nice selection of beers on tap, great service both times!!!

This place was pretty cool. I thought the set up was nice and the servers were very attentive. I came during lunch break and it was pretty empty inside. I’m sure during the weekends/​nights it’s more live. I ordered a dos equis and a veggie wrap. I really enjoyed the fries. I almost feel like they were the best part *besides* the beer that is. Anyhow, I do recommend this Irish Pub. It’s certainly fancier then most. Enjoy :-)

Had a great dinner here followed by our first tornado experience.
Great place for a great meal and super service. We came in mostly to try the fish and chips. Three of our group ordered the fish and chips. It was very good and plenty for all of us. The others seemed happy with their choices as well, a ruben sandwich, a hamburger with our the meat for our little veggie granddaughter, and a burger for our other granddaughter. The waitress was extremely nice and helpful in pointing out different places around town for coffee, pastries for the morning, etc. Prices were also very reasonable. We would eat here again on another visit.
Just after we left, the storm rolled in and part of our group who was still in the area had to rush back into the restaurant to take cover. The restaurant brought water and coffee for them to enjoy as they waited out the weather.

I visited this location one afternoon when I was clearly wrong about when a Travelers game was supposed to happen. They have a very nice selection of Cervezas to choose from but I was turned off from them a little bit when my friend attempted to order two different beers out of their menu but they didn’t have any in stock. There is no telling the last time they had stocked them.
The service was overall pretty good. My waitress was attentive and knowledgable on what they did or did not have. The outside patio area was nice to look at the surrounding buildings and also clean.
Overall, pretty average experience here. There was nothing that was extraordinary from this place. I may return here in the future, but I wont go out of my way to try it out.

Ate at Cregeen’s this afternoon after the AR Travelers’ baseball game, and I was not impressed.
The sign at the door said «Seat Yourself» so I did. I picked a tall table-​top in the bar area, and it didn’t take long before I wondered whether I had picked the wrong table. At the time, there was one waitress covering the restaurant and another sitting at the bar chatting up a patron. The one at the bar smiled at me but didn’t move, while the one on duty was very experienced at ignoring the customers that she wasn’t ready for yet.
Once I finally got service, it was friendly. Too bad that it took so long.
I ordered my standard XX Amber, and the Shepherd’s Pie. The beer was great, but the Shepherd’s Pie left something to be desired. It came in a shallow dish, had more mashed potatoes than filling, and contained almost no vegetables.
I think this pub lives more off of its location than the quality of food or service.

Always my first stop when I get off the plane. Nice, chill place. Great bartenders and a nice menu. I really love this section of Little Rock.

Great atmosphere and awesome patio area! All of the servers and bartenders were very friendly. I got the onion soup and Irish dip, very good but the sandwich was a little messy so prepare to dig in.

Hands down the very worst dining experience since moving here a year ago.
First we wait twenty minutes to even get a waiter. He was pissy and acted like he’d rather be anywhere else but at work. I order Dr. Pepper and was given coke. Not once did he ask for or attempt to refill a single glass on our table.
I ordered chicken strips and fries. Not thinking you’d up charge the crap out of me. Really. 8.95 for four chicken strips, another 2.95 for ten fries, and sixty cents for a tiny half filled cup of honey mustard??? Seriously. What bar does that.
We wait so long for the food to come out cold that we have to ask for our check as soon as the foods brought. Andrew, the waiter from hades, brings our checks but as he’s giving them out we ask for to go containers. He grabs our checks off the table. Crumbles them up, walks to the corner register and throws our checks. We are sitting right there ten feet away. If your waiters are going to throw fits at least make them go behind the bar. He brings out the to gos and gives them to us. We have to flag him down AGAIN to even get him to take our money.
All in all an EXTREAMLY disappointing lunch. Totally wasted my time.
Also. Why on Earth does it smell like a bleach bucket???

Beautiful looking pub (wood was sent over from Ireland to build it). I was one of the first people to visit this pub from day one. I was so exited that an Irish bar was coming to Little Rock. At one time they even had an Irish bartender. The food is day by day. One time it’s great the next it’s so, so (I’m British so I know my pub food).
The main issue I have with this pub is when they have live music playing. It is literally so loud you can’t hear the person talking sat next to you. Even at the other end of the bar it’s incredibly loud. I have seen Motörhead and AC/​DC live so it’s not that I don’t like loud music. Pubs are supposed to be meeting places for people to chat and relax with a nice pint. The last time I went with friends we actually ended up leaving because you couldn’t have a nice conversation with anyone without shouting.
Visit on days or nights without live music and it’s a pretty decent pub (hence 3 stars) but stay away from live music nights if you cherish your hearing.
Hope this review helps.

Great bartender. Beer selection was good and you can sample selections to help decide. Food was good but nothing special. Typical bar food lacking in healthy choices that aren’t rabbit lettuce and tons of dressing. Really great Irish Dip!!!

I dug it. Reuben was excellent, corned beef melted in your mouth. It’s kind of a hip place, attitudes are to be expected. Roll with it, we found the staff a bit standoffish initially but ended up being damn funny. I’m guessing the poor reviews are a result of people wanting same ‘ol same ‘ol service, yes ma’am no sir blah blah blah. Might I suggest Applebee’s for your dining pleasure?
I’ll take wit over canned responses every time; especially if the Reuben rocks.

I enjoyed my visit here. I came with two friends for dinner and a drink and was surprised to find the neighborhood and restaurant here. Creegeen’s was a pleasant surprise for me. We walked in and there was a hostess booth and so we thought someone would be seating us but no one really came by. We kind of stepped in a little more and found eventually one of the servers said we could sit anywhere we wanted. The pub style three top we sat on was a little awkward right in between a huge pillar in between the bar and the door. A busy and clumsy placement. A lot of good beers available, Guinness yes, but also other Irish beers not made by Diageo. I had a Murphy’s which I think is creamier and tastier than Guinness. My friend got an Irish milkshake, which we assumed was a spiked milkshake but was actually more of a foo-​foo martini drink.
I ordered Irish Nachos as an appetizer, a tasty mixture made with potato chips, corned beef and spicy sauerkraut a strange mix. I’ve had ‘Irish nachos’ before which was just nacho stuff on chips. The ones here were something new, with the spicy kraut being a pleasant surprise and the corned beef works really well too, something I was also wary of.
I got their shepherd’s pie as ell which was also startingly good. The last shepherd’s pie I had was plain, a rather bland stew with mashed potatoes scooped over it. The shepherd’s pie here was a big platter of beef and veggies with a thick layer potatoes over it. Tasty, a big portion and pretty easy on the wallet.
Our server, Molly was also friendly and attentive. She came to check on us frequently, didn’t pressure us to leave and I left there full and happy.
