Food: Mediocre taste pains the palate

The Irish Times Pub fails to impress with its dishes. Their best dishes- 'Fish and Chips with Curry', 'Shepherd's Pie with Side Salad' and 'Bangers and Mash', all fall short due to the lack of freshness and awful taste. Reviews indicate that the pub resorts to using frozen fish, leading to a rubbery texture that's distasteful. According to diner experiences, the food tends to be bland and underwhelming.

  • Great Value

    Happy hour prices offer great value and quality, attracting repeat customers.

  • Okay Taste

    Mostly positive views on taste, with some underwhelmed by the offerings.

  • Quality

    Uses frozen fish, resulting in rubbery texture; not fresh.

Vibe: Uninviting ambiance crushes spirits

The pub's ambiance is a far cry from being inviting. It's dimly lit, loud, and dirty, creating an uninviting atmosphere -- a far cry from a typical joyous pub setting. Moreover, the excessively loud music interrupts conversations, making it an unsuitable choice for a date night. The lack of crowd and events further reduces the buzz, indicating a need for better marketing strategies.

  • Great Drinks

    Extensive craft beer selection, innovative cocktails, and reasonable prices.

  • Aesthetic

    Dimly lit, loud, and dirty—uninviting atmosphere that detracts from experience.

Perks: Astonishing service amidst the chaos

On the positive side, the service at the Irish Times Pub is friendly and attentive. The staff's professionalism manages to enhance customer experience despite the chaotic atmosphere. Even small groups are accommodated well with spacious seating. However, the noise levels are unfathomably high, making conversations nearly impossible. The parking situation also frustrates customers with limited and hard-to-find spots.

  • Great Service

    Friendly and attentive service, fast and professional, enhancing customer experience

  • Hard To Hear

    So loud that conversations are impossible, leading to a negative experience.
