Curran's Irish Inn — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Last night my boyfriend, parents, and sisters threw me a surprise 30th birthday party upstairs. They chose currans because 1 I like the wings and 2 it would/SHOULD have been a smooth transition from when my party ended to continue enjoying ourselves at the bar downstairs, Everything was amazing upstairs ! Great bartender sue and George who was helping out! Unfortunately, when we brought business to the downstairs bar (about 15 people stayed) the woman behind the bar and “Tim Scott who’s been there for 35 years” -good for you buddy, were very very rude. You would think bartenders would be happy to finish their night with some great businsss, but it seemed like all they were worried about was going home. They turned the juke box music all the down at about 115am and stopped serving drinks at about 135. The woman (who would not give me her name) and Tim Scott stated they cannot serve after 145am, which is ok cause it’s the law! But it was not 145 am when we were asking for the music to be turned up because we had already put money in the juke box and asked for a beer, she looked at me and looked away when I said excuse me, when asked why she did that she said “You didn’t ask her for anything” lol ok so I should have screamed at her for something? Not to mention they were still serving a woman at the bar who was clearly their friend! Not to mention my boyfriend said “damn we just spent 2000$ upstairs” and the woman bartender said “I doubt that” and laughed in his face! What a joke! Anyway, Great wings/great time at the event upstairs last night, but WE WILL NEVER RETURN! A lot of great business from my family and friends (about 80 people were at the party) was lost last night due to the employees Tim and the nameless blonde behind the bar down stairs last night. Rant over. Good...

TLDR: Food was great, but service was HORRIBLE

I made a reservation for 6 pm on St Patty’s Day for a party 8. Table was NOT ready when we go there even though they knew we were coming because I called morning of to confirm reservation. There was no hostess or anyone to greet us or guide us to our table.

we asked for a high stool 4 different times. Food came out so sporadically that the last person got his food after everyone ate (at least half an hour). I understand that it is St. Patrick’s Day, but tables are supposed to be served all at the same time when all are put in at the same time.

The waitress literally CHASED me out of the restaurant to MY CAR. I didn’t add a tip because the menu said 18% tip was already applied to parties of 6 or more. We were a party of 8. So, was it optional??? She told me to “come back inside to go to the ATM to leave a tip.” Then, we asked for her to add a $25 tip on the bill of $220, and that wasn’t good enough after being CHASED out?! She literally was UPSET with me about it! I work in the service industry too, but this is a whole new level of...

My boyfriend and I stopped in on a random Wednesday night after moving and wanted a drink and to try the roast beef. We walked in and sat at the bar. It wasn't very crowded, but the bartender, instead of even greeting us, he looked our way and continued to fill the straws and such behind the bar. Then he starts heading our way about 10 minutes later, but stopped at the people next to us first (regulars whom had drinks and food) and asked if they'd like another round and some shots. Continued to ignore us this who time. Not even a hello at this point or even a give me a sec guys...nothing! He just turned and walked back down the bar the other way! At this point, we were already stadving walking in and were extremely excited to have the roast beef, yet so insulted, we walked out. It was absurd! The ignorance of that bartender that night made you lose two new to the neighborhood people who may of just became regulars. You should really reconsider some of the staff you hire. We will never return to this establishment and made sure to spread the word. Worst customer...
