Ignored and Left Without a Drink
I walked into the restaurant and it wasn't busy at all. I was seated at a high-top table, but then was ignored by the bartender for 20 minutes. I ended up leaving without getting a drink. I will not be returning. At least the dog was cute.

Great Downtown Spot for Food and Drinks
My experience at this restaurant was excellent. It's a great place to meet up with anyone when you are downtown. The food is tasty, the drinks are stiff, and the vibes are solid. The service, atmosphere, and food all received a perfect 5/5 rating.

Lorraine is the best bartender!
My experience was exceptional thanks to Lorraine, the best bartender in town. She was attentive, funny, and engaging. It was a blessing to have her serve us tonight. A perfect experience!

Cottage Pie vs. Shepherd's Pie Confusion
My only complaint is the naming of the dishes. They list cottage pie, which is beef, as Shepherd's pie, which is lamb. While most people might not know the difference, it's noticeable, especially for an Irish establishment. Otherwise, the experience was positive, with good food and excellent service.

Great Drinks and Birthday Celebration!
I went to watch the game and had an amazing experience. The drinks were incredible, and I met some great people who bought me shots for my birthday! It was a fantastic celebration.

Lovely Irish Breakfast and Great Staff
I popped into The Irish Times to watch a Celtic game whilst in San Francisco. I had a full Irish breakfast and a couple of drinks. The breakfast was lovely and the staff were great 😄.

Good Service, Disappointing Wings
My experience at the restaurant was a mixed bag. The service was very good, and I particularly enjoyed the nonalcoholic Guinness, which was delicious. However, the chicken wings were not good in my opinion. They seemed to burn a hole in my stomach, and the sauce was a disaster, with a really strong vinegar smell. This might depend on personal preference, though.

Fantastic Service and Great Beer!
My girlfriend and I were visiting San Francisco for the first time and stumbled upon this Irish bar while exploring Chinatown. The beer was amazing! What truly stood out, however, was the fantastic service. Ger was an amazing person to chat with, and it was really cool that he's from Ireland. He was incredibly sweet and patient, managing the entire bar by himself. We loved our experience so much that we returned during our trip for an even better time! Ps Ger, did you think we were cool? Lol. ALL PRAISE TO GER!

Hidden Gem with Delicious Food!
I recently took my family, who were visiting from Ireland, to The Irish Times for dinner. They absolutely loved the food and service. Everyone was so warm and welcoming, and the food was incredibly delicious. I cannot recommend this hidden gem enough.
