Not a bad pub! I used to come here more often but I haven't in awhile. Today I sat on the patio. They usually have live music on certain days where people come up & sing. Nothing to complain about.
I ordered the homemade Irish stew. I really hated it. Maybe it's just not to my tastes, but it was not what I was expecting at all. I've had the Irish stew at Ye Olde Orchard & it's amazing, I've even posted about it before. Theirs was creamy & had a rich savory flavor of Guinness. By contrast this Irish stew at McKibbins was very tangy & sour, almost like there was vinegar in it. It made it taste like the soup was rotten or spoiled. I tried tasting individual pieces (carrot, potato, meat) to see if there was something I could avoid, but everything was saturated with it, especially the meat. The only thing that tasted good to me was the dollop of mashed potatoes on top & the bun that came with it. The bun was very moist & delicious with a subtle sweet flavor. It was a shame because it was pretty expensive, $23 before tip & I had to throw out the rest because I just couldn't finish it. Perhaps this type of Irish stew is more authentic & I just made a regrettable decision for my taste buds. I just wanted to warn others if they were similarly expecting something akin to Ye Olde Orchard. I will say that the pub had a nice atmosphere & the staff seemed very friendly, knowledgeable & attentive. Maybe they have other things that would appeal to my palate. The decor was charming, with a little matching door for "leprechauns".
Tried the Pub after many years & it's was good. My wife ordered the soup "Very Hot" & she says it was really good. I ordered the Shepherd's Pie & it was a little too wet but still OK. Came with nice salad so overall the meal was very good & great value for the price. Drinks were also lower price for 4 a 7. Overall a flood experience & seemed like a lot of regulars there enjoying them selves. A little run down & old looking as only complaint. Waitress was very good too.
Nice bar with good selection.They got karaoke too Server was very attentive. Great place for drinks & pub food. Service was quick & efficient, drinks were well made & food was actually very delicious. I will definitely be going back. Nice atmosphere too.
No matter when I have gone, the service was excellent & the food was great, with only one exception & that was at least ten years ago. My absolute favourite is the fish & chips & although I don't enjoy anything too spicy, their curry sauce - go dip those chips! - is amazing. I also like the cider, which is a nice change from all the other drinks. I go as often as I can, just to relax & enjoy the pubs offerings.
Still horrified after being served nachos on top of a pile of someone elses' soggy leftover nachos (from previous order). Staff had done a great job at covering it up... That is, until my friend & I realized, about halfway through. This happened a couple of years ago, hope management & staff have changed since. I would never recommend this place to anyone. I feel disgusted & angry, each & every time I pass by Mckibbins Pub West island.
Today I visited this Pub with a friend for the first time. We sat outside to have a nice lunch on a beautiful hot day. We ordered a vegetarian burger & the flank steak salad which were well prepared & presented. Too bad the chef/kitchen did a good job with the food to have a waitress ruin it. From beginning to end we were very polite, however she acted as if she didn't want to be there & as if we were not welcomed. Just because the food was good I left a good tip (I hope the kitchen is in) because she didn't deserve it. Maybe she would be better off keeping the place clean instead of interacting with customers.
Un bon Pub irlandais où la nourriture est très bonne. Il faut essayer le Chicken & Leak Pot Pie... il est excellent!!! Les soirs de Karaoke sont assez agréable... très drole!
Une bonne place pour faire un 5 a 7 avec la gang du bureau!!
