The Irish Pub — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

BEST BAR IN BALDWIN (in my opinion). Detailed review below

The owner, Shawn, is friendly, respectful, and knows his stuff. When he took over The Irish Pub, he made it a point to get involved as an active part of the community and create an inclusive atmosphere. This bar and its patrons, especially on karaoke nights (every other Friday) with NV Entertainment, are a lively bunch so you'll be sure to have a good time. It does get crowded at times, especially during karaoke, but that's how you know it's a great place to be!

They have a new menu and I hadn't tried the burgers yet, so I figured I'd give the Bruin Burger a shot. I was having so much fun that I had to save the burger and fries for the next day, so it was wrapped up to go. Even next day, it DID NOT disappoint! Pop it in the air fryer and you're golden. No excuse not to get a good meal from here, even if you don't drink.

Last but not least, Big Los behind the bar is always helpful. Seeing I ordered a few drinks (and I have small hands), he picked them up with ease and brought them all to the table for me. I notice things like that because how many times have you been to a busy bar and the bartender just pours your drinks, takes your money, and you have to figure out how to get them over to your table without spilling? Los took the guesswork out of it. Thank you, Los!

Overall, I give this place 5/5. Check it out for...

Went in for food and a drink with a friend. Sat there for 5 minutes at the bar before we could order a beer. Got menus for food but the bartender never came back for the order. Waited about 20 minutes. Meanwhile there was a guy shouting into his cell phone / face time at the bar for the entire time having an animated conversation about his day. A real great time it was not. Won’t...

I love this bar. Whether if it's for a quick bite to eat or a place to spend the evening with old friends and making some new ones.... You'll never be disappointed at the Irish pub. Great staff, great people, making great new memories. Stop in and give them a chance. I love Fridays where they have karaoke and listening to their live bands on...
