The Shamrock Irish Pub, Ingolstadt — Restaurant in Ingolstadt

The bartender was belligerent, drunk and rude, and waved his arms around when he made the wrong sized beer for me and my buddy. I ordered 2x 400ml beers and he gave half liters and accused me of trying to cheat him. He went on a tirade telling me how he works 7 days a week and completely ruined my mood. I'm sure it's a decent place but beware that the staff drink more than the customers.

The nice kid from India who was bussing the tables was a workhorse and a true unsung hero to the service industry. What else can I say, I'm still pissed about that bartender.

Edit: 2025 Someone finally got around to responding to the review from nearly half a year ago - and the response was EXACTLY what I would expect. As far as how often you are open I dont know nor do I care. That is what YOUR drunk bartender said. I myself was there that night with others working in gastronomy and they agree your bartender was drunk as a sailor.

"You have given us the lowest rating possible so we'd kindly ask you to take your ruined mood and your pissed-off attitude, together with a chill-pill, and order in another bar in future."

HA! I havent stepped foot in there since then. Who wants to deal with management responses like this and staff that is hammered? I stand by my comments 100% and you don't have to worry about my expectations to be treated decently as a paying...

Great pub in the heart of the town. The Shamrock is a nice spacious cellar pub with regular live music and a refreshing (and slightly unusual for an Irish pub, admittedly) vegetarian menu along with a good range of beers (Irish and local Herrnbräu) and whiskies. A good place to meet expats and new friends although the majority of the clientele are local. The pub is one of the few places in Ingolstadt where it is easy to strike up a conversation with strangers. The landlord, Harry, regularly plays a folk set (with or without band) and is a nice guy with an interesting sense of humour. Highly recommended for newcomers to Ingolstadt of any age and also for locals who just want something different. Ingolstadt is one of the cheapest towns in Germany to drink beer and wine in and the prices in the Shamrock are significantly lower than Berlin or Munich...

Ein Irish-Pub mit ganz gutem Angebot. Die Bedienung ist sehr langsam und z.T. (vermutlich auch aufgrund des harten Klientels) sehr unfreundlich bis unaufmerksam. Die Hygienezustände sind deutlich verbesserungswürdig. Die Füllstände der Drinks schwanken zwischen Überfüllt (jedes mal Nasse, klebrige Hände) und Füllstand deutlich unter dem Eichstrich (Zeitweise gleichzeitig o.o). Es muss bei jeder Getränkebelieferung gezahlt werden, wobei immer ein Trinkgeld erwartet wird, teilweise wird es einfach eingezogen, wenn man nichts sagt- egal wie lang der Zeitraum zwischen Bestellung und Lieferung oder die Qualität der Drinks ist. Dadurch zahlt man am Abend auch gerne "mal mehr" für den vergleichsweise schlechten Service. Wirklich super sind die Eintrittspreise (i.d.R. 3€, je nach Event), wobei die Karaokesongs i.d.R. dieselben sind und nichts mit einem Irish Pub zu tun haben. Die Live-Bands enthalten alle möglichen Qualitätsstufen. Es gibt sehr viel Potential nach oben- anfangen würde ich bei der Hygiene und...
