The Harp Inn is a gem. Great live music, super friendly staff (including the owner), and an all-around welcoming vibe. I’ve been going here for over 10 years and it never disappoints. The Irish food is excellent — highly recommend the Irish breakfast. They also have a great outdoor patio.

A friend recommended going here, he reserved a table which worked out really good. We were celebrating a birthday and didn’t know what to expect. We were probably a little overdressed, but we still made it all work. The music was awesome. Our era 70s 80s we found parking immediately got there around 8:15 then the crowd started to come there was adequate room to dance. The drinks were good. My partner said it was too loud for him but that’s one out of 10. You want loud for a live band, right! I would go again and again the music is the draw!

I used to go here years ago with family and friends, usually on a Friday or Saturday night for some pints. A friend recently wanted to try an Irish breakfast, so I suggested we go to The Harp Inn. The food and service were good, a bit noisy with a game on, but still fun as I remembered it to be.
The sausages, pudding and rashers reminded me of the breakfast I would have when I visit the in-laws in Ireland. Amazing flavor!! If you're looking for a good ole Irish Fry, I would definitely go to The Harp Inn.

Live music, great atmosphere and the drinks were on point. Guinness was the go-to and didn't disappoint.

This place is cool because it’s strictly Eagles bar which all these other bars that claim to be aren’t, I’ve never watched a game with other teams fan base at a pure team bar, unlike that other place up the street that allows every single team fan base come to a Eagles bar, atleast I can say I’ve never been triple charged for food and drinks that wasn’t mine unlike that other bar that has kids running around while people smoke weed and drink.

First Visit—was dead at 8pm! Went to meet a group for the live music. It wasn’t my vibe so I left by 8:30pm 2nd time place was packed due to the band and the space is so tight that you can’t sit at any table without having people either sitting against your chair or standing against you! It’s very small and tight inside—you can barely move around and forget trying dance—very small dance floor space right in front of the band. Band too loud for such a small place. Finally, 3rd visit ordered Tacos—requested lettuce instead of tortillas—brought without, when I asked, bartender, who was quite cold, uncaring, unfriendly says it doesn’t come that way! Right?! And the meat was very odd (steak) and chopped weird. It was ok. Nothing to write home about. Service was awful. Food mediocre at best.
Very tight, small parking lot—hard to enter/exit as it’s one lane straight in/out! I don’t recommend this place. But apparently plenty of people like it. So go see what you think….

Super great place to go if you are looking for an authentic Irish pub. Black and tans are perfect, the atmosphere is great, and they have some really great music options on the weekend. Bottom line? Run, don't walk to this place and enjoy!

A wonderful little bar, with some great owners and bartenders. Came in here for a meetup event, and ended up having a great time thanks to the staff. They have an outdoor seating area as well as the inside with tables and booths. The bartenders were very fun and took care of me towards the end when I needed to get some sobering up, so I can easily say I'll be coming back here to support these guys.

There was some love music when I arrived too, so that's also a plus if you want some entertainment with your drinking. I didn't have any food while I was here, but I'll be sure to grab some next time I'm here and update my review. Definitely check this spot out if you haven't. Cheers!
