First I must say this is the brightest pub I've ever been to. Maybe they turn the lights down later in the evening but when I stopped in at 5 PM on a Wednesday night the place was as bright as an office. That aside, I liked the interior of it. It's a very open bar-restaurant with paintings on the wall and some Irish memorabilia around. The staff was very nice and talkative to just about anyone. The place is large enough that there appeared to be a dart league tournament going on later in the evening and you wouldn't even know they were there. They beer selection was pretty good and the food was very good also. It doesn't look like a whole lot from outside but I was glad I stopped in. I would go back to this place again.

I visited this pub in December 2007. The pub looks like an authentic pub and I really wanted to love it, but couldn't. The bartender was dis-interested at best, and spent most of his time talking about going back to school. The food was on the low end of bar food. The beer prices were high. It was a disappointment.

24 or so taps, lots with multiple handles of the same product. Mostly the usual suspects or macros. Typical dark wood interior/faux Irish atmosphere. Full bar with LOTS of whiskey for those so inclined. OK, but nothing special in my opinion.

I read a review of this establishment that didnt promote a very positive image. However, I recently found myself in the downtown area and decided to give it a go. The beer selection is absolutly out of this world and I was presently surprised by the prices. According to the review that I read the staff was portraid as a group who didnt care about the customer. I found this to be completely false. My waitress stated that she has been with the pub for more than a year and stays because of the customers and the family atmosphere within the staff. She also informed me of the new chef and encouraged me to try the sheperds pie. I was blown away! They prepare it with beef instead of lamb which is the traditional way but I commend the chef on an outstanding product. All around I was very impressed and have decided to give tir na nog as well as other downtown areas more of my dining business. Thank You for a wonderful time.

Came to this pub about a month back, and they had a really top notch bagpiper playing there. I was however dissapointed with the rest of the show both of the band he was with (They had a bonified Irish singer, and he was so drunk you couldn't understand anything he said [and that was beyond the fact he had an accent]) and who played after (blah rock). The Bagpiper even came to our table and sang and played just for us after his band went off stage (and that was worth seeing all on its own)! The food is fair for Irish pub standards, but dumbs down for the American pallate, making in quite bland. Not very tasty to say the least. The service was good however and the beers hit the spot otherwise. I think this place has a lot of potential to say the least. I wish I could remember the name of the bagpiper, but if they keep bringing him in, and get the food better, they might make me a regular.

This is a good pub. It's got a great manager, a real people person. he makes the atmosphere outstanding. I only go when it's slow because the bartenders pay more attention to your pint!

They need to bring the Irish start up management & staff back to revitalize the pub. Americans dont understand the "ethos" that makes a good pub. A couple of stolen artifacts of the past & fake paint & plaster "A pub, does not make". How i miss Antoinette. With the red hair & the bolt through her tongue, with the acid wit to reduce any drunken jerk into an apologetic blubbering fool. I dont go there anymore. Its become a burger king that sells stout. yall have a nice day.

One of the least authentic Irish Pubs in Raleigh. Oh it's got the look, the pile of turf at the front door, even the thatched roof cottage in the back. But it's more than stolen street signs and Guinness murals that make an Irish pub. And one thing that's missing here is an attentive bar staff. On several visits, I've had the foam on my empty pint of Guinness harden to the glass while I waited. Under new ownership now, I hear, and some things are changing. Still, if you're out for an Irish evening, arrive early 'cause after 10pm this place turns into a 70s retro-rock bar...

Prime example of a see-and-be-seen establishment. Skip it. If you're into Irish pubs, James Joyce in Durham is far better.

I've been here several times and have found the food and service to be very good. The beer selection is rather limited but what they have is good. On my most recent visit they had a house brew on tap that is brewed for them by one of the local micros (not Greenshields.. I asked!) It was very good, full-bodied with a nice finish. This place is a far better choice than some of the area brewpubs.

Needs more micros. Bartenders are not real friendly. Too crowded for my tastes. Beers were priced high.

This is a food & atmosphere restaurant, not a taproom -- as stated, few drafts, no draft micros (but the drafts are good). Go for stone walls, indoor thatched roof, Guiness decor, and tasty food; if you don't mind crowds and high noise levels.

They pour their Guinness too fast when they get busy, there's almost no interaction between barstaff and customers, and they play disco after 11pm on weekends! So, arrive early for a seat, enjoy the great food, and hear the LIVE music before 11pm!

Decent replica of an Irish pub. Lousy beer selection - Harp, Guiness, Pilsner Urquell on tap. Mixed drinks are especially well made. Not a place to go for beer drinking. Very crowded on weekends.

The beer selection is good and the bar is nice. The problem is that it is entirely too crowded. If you want to see and be seen go on a weekend. If you want to go to relax and enjoy a good beer go on a weekday.

This pub is totally awesome! It is always packed with friends, and the service is unbeatable. The bartenders and wait staff are the nicest people around. I also love the idea that a place that bills itself as an Irish pub would actually go to the trouble of recruiting authentic Irish bartenders. If you are in Raleigh, you must check it out!

Authentic Irish pub. The brews are as one would expect from a pub of this caliber, good porters, stouts, and ales. The live music has been authentic and top quality as well. The Food is outstanding, shepards pie a must. The Pub draws an eclectic crowd which is always nice. The bartenders are from overseas as well. Quiet seating can be found in the "cottage" room as well as near the fireplace. Very nice place to go.
