Tir Na Nog Bar & Grill

Fun awesome experience with food and service. We were absolutely starved. Colin was amazing and so patient with us! Thank you Colin for an amazing experience!

St. Paddy’s day this place was hoppin’ at lunch… of course. A couple pints of the dark, delicious nectar and some bar food satisfied.
It’s a large irish pub in a larger condominium building. There’s not much else to it.

After multiple visits within the past 2 months, I’ve chosen to rate Tir Na Nog 2 stars.
The Potato Leek Soup and the Fish and Chips platter are absolutely amazing, I highly recommend, and these are the only reason I gave 2 stars.
The service has been consistently terrible. I was there one night with a group of 6, the server would take one persons order and run away, leaving about 10 minutes before returning, and on it went 6 times. Refills? forget it, would ignore being flagged down, and on top of it all had a terrible attitude. Another night, at the front bar, the two bartenders who were working during a pretty slow time, spent the time talking to each other, not paying attention to the few of us customers trying to flag them down for a beer. And yet another time, sat at a table with 3, ordered the soup and fish and chips that we love, before the fish and chips platter was served, we were handed the check, and every 2 minutes the server kept asking if we were ready with it. We told her politely we will flag her down when we are ready, but that did not stop the extremely pushy nature of this server (and its not like it was last call/​closing time or anything.)
Very dissatisfied with each visit. I tried to see if things would change from day to day, but I’ve yet to have decent, let alone pleasant, visit. I will miss the soup, but its not worth the experience, I will not be returning.

Sweet bar, mostly because Colin is like a bright ray of sunshine, moving from table to table with the swift grace of a cat with a tray full of drinks. Great work :)

Every Wednesday the Ace Holes look forward to the best waiter, Colin! Look for him friends.

A great place if your looking for an Irish pub in Philly!!! Have come here every year for the last 3 years to host our rugby team kick off party for the CRC tourney… Will be there in a couple week!!!

3 ½ stars, bumped up to 4. There seems to be no middle ground at this place; it’s either completely empty, or insanely packed wall — to — wall. They usually have a good selection of local beers, and their food is pretty good, but not really special.
If you want to catch a soccer or Gaelic football match, this is a good spot; they’ll most likely have at least one tv on to one of those games; assuming there’s no local sports playing at that time. It seems to be equal parts Center City bar, tourist bar, Irish bar, and Sports bar, so it seems to have a little something for everyone who may stop in here.

This place has the rudest service. I go there for long work lunches to watch soccer games in the afternoon at least once a month. I’m always friendly and I always tip well. However, today, I went in and sat down as usual and was ignored for the entire time I was there. I just wanted a beer and a burger and some fries, was it really too much to ask? I tried to get the attention of several servers and all of them looked away from me as soon as I tried to open my mouth. Is there something wrong with my money? Was there a reason to not serve me? I will now walk a half mile to the other soccer bars in town rather across the street to this rude establishment.

Lively and packed especially during St. Patrick’s Month in Philly. Try the French dip, its delicious and made a bit different with braised short rib.

I came here yesterday for lunch since it is very close to my new job. I’d been in here before for happy hours, and thought some good Irish pub food was necessary. Coming in right at noon with two people — we were sat right away. Not usually a good sign at lunch time in the city but they had JUST opened.
I ordered the fish and chips. I didn’t like how the fish came out on top of the fries. I tasted a fry right after it came out and they are actually really good fries. But after eating the fish for a few minutes, the fries had become greasy and soggy from being under the fish and they weren’t that great anymore. The fish was pretty yummy, but if I ever get it again I think I’d ask for it to be fried a little longer to get more crispy on the outside. Also, $ 25 for lunch in the city (fish and chips + iced tea) seemed a bit much.
Overall, not a terrible place, but nothing super special about it either. I’d come back for some drinks and get some fries again but not sure if I’ll be back for lunch.

This was my first outdoor Happy Hour of 2016. I was so excited to try the place I walk by every day. We were just looking for some light bites and couple of drinks. We tried the Bavarian pretzels and a couple of beers. The service was quick and our server was kind enough to suggest her favorite beers and entrees. I really like how they space the tables outside. Often outdoor seating in CC is so cramped. I understand wanting to make the most out of the space but it really ruins the conversation with your own party. We will be back for more happy hours since it’s so near the Drexel CC campus!

Came here for a few drinks with friends the other night. It was my first time trying it out and I enjoyed the selection of drinks and the lively music. It was a fairly big space with lots of beautiful wood. Not terribly crowded for a Friday night (but not dead by any means) and they had large screens to watch the weekend games, etc. We had prompt service at the bar too, which was a nice change from the usual Friday night hustle. Based on some other reviews here, it sounds like I’ll have to try the food next time. Maybe for the next happy hour!

Came here for a large group brunch/​lunch. I ordered the huevos rancheros, and was disappointed. The chorizo had little flavor, and the egg was overcooked. My family ordered the potato waffle and the reuben, and both were happy with their choices. Our waiter was not as attentive as I would have preferred. I know we were a large group, but we had to ask twice for kid’s menus and beers. If you go here, stay away from the huevos rancheros, but you might have better luck with other options.

I’ve been here a number of times, it’s really just an average pub. Every time I’ve been here it is very crowded and there are a lot of people watching some sort of sporting event on the tvs. They have a great beer selection and I’ve never been disappointed with it. They have good specials for the different games. They do have a lot of seating and it’s a great space of you have a larger group and you all want to be seated together. Their food is the typical pub food– nothing especially noteworthy or disappointing.

I went here for just a few beers with my friends, than I wound up having one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Everyone I was with would agree all the same, what ever you guys are doing, keep it up!
I decided to go with the fried chicken sandwich, I was expecting a normal pub sandwich, boy was I wrong. I didn’t know a chicken sandwich would be so good. My friend wouldn’t shut up about his braised short ribs, tried one of them and I ordered a plate for myself. If I could give these guys 6 stars, I would.

My friends and I went to a Suicide Prevention Foundation fundraiser here last week. We did not eat much of the food, just some appetizers, but it was pretty good. The little slider I had was the best one. My wine was good too. Most importantly, our waiter was very attentive and very nice. We all liked him a lot. This makes all the difference when trying a new place!
The best part, though, came after our dining experience. The next day, the owner emailed my friend who had organized the fundraiser and told her that he was going to match the donations she had collected from attendees. :)

Right across the street from Love Park, this spot offers a pretty decent happy hour. Half price apps which include nachos, quesadillas, wings, and cheesesteak eggrolls.
The drinks were not weak which was great. Our server was very attentive and had a great, laid back personality. Would definitely go back!

This is my first team lunch in my new company.
Came here along with my team and its just a 5 min inside from Philly Grand Suburban.
Maryland Crab burger and fries are one of the good options.
Fries are really good and not too oily.
Best crab burger I’ve had.
Service is quick and ambience is nice but little dark.
Surly will comeback.

Tir Na Nog and I go way back. This was one of the first bars I went to downtown after turning 21.
Depending on the time and day of the week; you can find Tir Na Nog packed with all walks of life; from rich businessmen enjoying a happy hour beverage to Irish hooligans screaming at the futbol match on TV or drunk frat bros raging to Bön Jovi late night.
Tir Na Nog is by no means known for their craft beer, but they have a few on tap, as well as all of the «regular» beers and some International selections. The food isn’t great, but it is decent «fancy» bar fare with some Irish specialties. Most of the bartenders are straight from Ireland, which I enjoy and appreciate. If you are looking for an Irish Pub in Philly, this is a great choice.

My folks and I headed here for reubens after visiting the Christmas Village in Love Park on Sunday. It’s kind of tucked away, but the inside atmosphere is definitely pub-​like. We all got the open-​faced reuben, which was not warm at all. It seemed as though cold saurkraut was placed on the sandwich, then a piece of cheese stuck on top and placed under the broiler just until the cheese looked melted (either that or the sandwiches sat for a LOOOOOG time before they were delivered). Meh.
The service was horrible, even though there were only a couple of patrons. Waitress seemed a little confused, and it took a while to wave her down when we needed something.
The fries, however, were a highlight — well seasoned and crispy! But I’ll go elsewhere when my next reuben craving kicks in.
