Gallagher's Pub & Grill — Restaurant in Long Beach

If you're Irish or don't care about good food, then this pub is probably right up your 'paddy.' I had to get a bike fixed across the street so spent an hour in here during lunch. They play Irish music which is cool because I got to listen to something different. Every available wall space was taken up with Irish cultural and historical items. Pretty cool but a little too much visual...felt like a kindergarten class. Ordered chicken strips with wedge fries as I felt that would be the safest thing.

Their average beers can be purchased anywhere else without worry of getting ripped off. I can't believe the waitress expected to tip after I had to pay an extra $60 for her not being able to do her job. Submitted that was only her second night after training, but how is that my problem?

This is my favorite place for breakfast and drinks on Saturday morning. Love their french toast and sausage. Also, unlimited mimosas on weekend mornings for like $6!

Four stars because I really don't like coming here in the evenings. The crowd isn't really my seen. Maybe it's a little intimidating for someone just wanted a chill place to grab a drink. I feel like when I walk in, I'm instantly being judged by the crowd of people that appear like they are too old for college but still want to look like the frat/sorority crowd. They can have it in the evenings. I'll enjoy my Saturday morning breakfast in peace while they play the Liverpool match on the large screen....
