Irish Bred Pub

Worst business practices I’ve ever experienced. Booked our Holiday party to use their upstairs venue. Met in person to organize catering. Signed a contract. Arrived the night of the party and they had given the space to someone else. Told us too bad, we know it sucks, you’ll have to share the space. We were relegated to the patio. All appetizers we had requested be brought in waves were brought all at once and all but flung into the 10 patio tables for a party of over 70 people. Appetizers congealed. Manager was more irritated that we were mad. Would not give us a refund. Applied it to a bar tab. They would have made so much money on our group. They did NOT care that they put us in a bind with our faculty. Will never darken their door again. Would give zero stars if an option. Had to walk through the other party to get drinks or service, or use the restroom. We made the best of it and enjoyed each other’s company, but this restaurant can’t get away with treating people like this.

We have been customers since Steve opened and have found the food to be excellent

Good beer selection. Cool authentic Irish pub look and feel. Tv’s throughout for the sports fans.

I’m a vibe kinda guy and this place gets 5* for vibe alone. I like to try out new places while I’m out and about by myself. It rates high on the eating solo scale also so I’ll def bring the family sometime. If it’s this cool at lunch I bet it’s really cool at night. My waitress is super cool and really informative. I got the Reuben and it was as good as any I’ve had. I’ll def do this again.

Came in at 8pm on a Tuesday and the staff made us feel like we were an inconvenience. Steak was overcooked and the response from the manager was extremely poor.

The wait staff is on their game! The foods are prepared to perfection! Enjoyable times with friends from out of town & again for a quiet date night! Smiles all around!

Upstairs bar is the place to be. Love the Reuben. Great service and cool atmosphere.

Great food and wonderful service. I had the fish and chips and I have to say the best I have had.

So far waiting to be seated…25 min got seated after 30 minutes of standing room only. No where to seat, its raining outside.
Got to table had to wait some more to get drinks and appetizers.
Ordered medium rare steak ask for steak sauce as u can see steak was still mooing.
Got refilled of unsweetened tea but it was sweet tea.
Got 12 oz steak 1 side 19.49
2.29 for ea drink
Nasty chocolate cake 6.49
Total 54.46
NEVER AGAIN!

Really great food and nice environment. Food was a touch on the greasy side. Beautiful building as well.

I have eaten here twice now and they do not disappoint. I love that they actually season their fries. We had the Irish Style Fries the first visit and they were fantastic! I was turned off on the brown gravy, but once I tried it, it seemed like a remarkable addition and I can’t believe everyone doesn’t do this! On my second visit, I had the Cheesy Lassie sandwich and it was good. It was basically a Philly Cheesesteak, but by a different name. I would definitely order it again! The service is also really great!

HORRIBLE SERVICE! We waited 2 hours to order brunch yet they claim to be «out of brunch» even though their menu says served till 2. And, the wait was for nothing since the room they just sat us in is completely empty. Another party (same size) was sat right after us even though they only waited 15 minutes.

Tonight’s experience has been the worst dinner experience I have ever had. And my family goes out to eat almost every night. We waited an hour to be seated… fine. We then waited 2 hours to have our food brought out to us. In the mean time there was no manager to be found. When the food was finally brought to us: we did not receive what we ordered, only one of us received the special (which she did not order), the filet was NOT a filet, and they were not cooked the way we ordered them. We could not cut through the steaks, looked like Llamas chewing on them, and there was blood dripping from it. We had to ask for a manager because there was none to be found. The experience was the worst ever.
At least my one shrimp tasted good?

Medium quality food my wife had the fish and chips i had the shepherds pie. To start the fish and chips were very overcooked, just about burned, she at most of it anyway. My pie was mostly meat overseasoned with very little specs of peas and carrots and a sprinkling of mozzerella cheese on top.
After we were eating our food the table next to us received their food, it looked like the cook paid attention on their food and did not burn it. I will gladly drive to senoia to get my Irish fix

We stumbled upon this pub while poking around historic downtown. What a lucky find! All three of our meals were superb – the salmon sandwich, grits, Guinness stew, and reuben. Oh – and the may-​tag chips were decadent! The atmosphere is lovely – Irish pub as you may guess by the name – dark wood panelling, good beers on tap. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the time it took for our lunch to come out – not the waitress’s fault. She was great. We highly recommend this pub.

Strong option if you’re nearby. The liveliest bar option in town and the only option offering this kind of food and drink. Pub classics and American comfort food with a bar offering cocktails, Irish specialties, and some beer, including a couple of local brews.
The fish and chips was especially delicious. Two ample-​sized lances of tender white fish under a crispy thin layer of fry. Well-​done all around. The buffalo wings were okay, though short on spice. The waitress, «K,» also brought me Blue Cheese even though I asked for Ranch. Oh well, no biggie. For the most part, I think most menu items are overpriced at least 20%.
Question — why isn’t the corned beef and cabbage on the regular menu every day of the year?
This was recommended to me by a family member who lives nearby. I’d recommend it too, especially on weekends. The employees are something else too — tip well!

Went for a late lunch as an early Valentine’s date with my husband and was extremely impressed. The staff were all very kind and helpful to any questions we had.
We had chips & salsa for an appetizer and the salsa was very delicious. Great texture and flavor with the perfect amount of spice.
I had the reuben and it was one of the best I’ve had. None of the flavors in it overwhelmed the other but instead melted together perfectly. The fries were also some of the best I’ve had as well.
My husband had the Guinness bbq bacon burger and he was very pleased. It was cooked to his liking (well done but wasn’t dry) and he said it had very good flavor.
We’ll definitely be going again soon!

Went for dinner– we had a couple of the sandwiches and a burger along with the may tag chips. The chips really were pretty good even though they had been talked up. Loaded with bacon, chives, and bleu cheese.
Sandwiches were alright. Nothing special, but the service was really friendly and prices decent.

Atmosphere aplenty!
This place has steadily improved in food quality, menu selection and staff in the past year — but, the food is still just approaching okay.
This is a great place to grab a pint, hang out with friends and if pressed, order an appetizer. I would go someplace else in Opelika to eat though.
Upstairs is strange… it loses the Irish Pub feel in a hurry, but at least the noise stays upstairs and you can enjoy a conversation with friends downstairs.

Wonderful atmosphere, really good customer service, and delicious food. I’m boring in that every time I go to an Irish pub, I only get the shepherd’s pie. I also got the snake bite. The waitress was nice even handled our orders incorrectly and overcharged, she let us have a beer or two on the house.
I love the elderly (age 70+) that come here to drink. They’re all found at the bar. They’re adorable and they all want to you. They’re like the cool seniors who stay up past their bedtime to have a good time.
