15 Best Irish Pubs near Marina Del Rey

“Sports bar vibes. They hold the famous turtle races every Thursday and Saturday. During the races there is a ton of shouting and cheering for which turtle you places your "bet" on. Arrive early and grab a seat or spot around the race circle and get ready to cheer for your favorite turtle. They have a ton of beer. But as a person who doesn't drink alcohol it is still a fun environment and they have sodas and redbulls. On other days they have trivia nights and pool tables and corn hole. It's a great spot for big groups. The food there is also surprisingly great. It's all bar food but at least it is good bar.“

“My new favorite bar. The service was great, Spencer helped us feel taken care of and made sure we had everything necessary to have a good night. Food is exquisite with many options for those with allergies. Prices make sense for being right on the pier. We will be back for more. Thank you Malloys staff!“

“Love Tom Bergins! I have lived in the hood for 20 years and drove by this place many times. but finally wandered in w my boo and have been a regular ever since! I always get the Pilsner , which tastes delish! Their food is awesome too! The shepherds pie, pretzel bites and patty melts are my favorites. They also have specials, last time I got the Filet O Fish sandwich, so good! The atmosphere is very chill, nice neighborhood bar / Irish pub with a very long history. The bartenders are always nice, you have to try this spot. They are only really opened on the weekends so plan accordingly!“

“Work right across from here so this place is one of my go-tos for lunch. Never actually sat down and ate inside even though the energy is always feels good. I've gotten just fries from this place about 4-5 times. There's a reason i've gotten it 4-5 times. They're crispy, always fresh and well seasoned. They also give you three sauces: spicy mayo, garlic aioli, and honey mustard. All are amazing and my favorite is mixing all the sauces and putting them on top of the fries. I've also orders the mozzarella sticks and the classic burger, no cheese, lettuce tomato and pickles. The mozzarella sticks are big and the cheese stretch is perfect. For the burger I didn't care much for the bun but the taste of the burger was amazing. I always come back and will always come back.“

“Had a blast! The day before St Patty’s day so the vibes were high - live authentic Irish band, everyone in their green attire ? I truly enjoyed myself!Service was great… The waitress with the beautiful red curly hair… she wasn’t actually the waitress for my table but was still ever so helpful and kept checking on us- Thank you!!The food was delicious - I ordered the lamb stew and to drink I had something that tasted amazing and paired really well with the stew but can’t quite remember the name of it….All in all I had a great time!Parking: Parked in the garage behind the boba shop. Was there for about 2 hours and only had to pay $1 - No validation requiredKid-friendliness: Burger and fries for the win! And my kiddos were most definitely entertained by the live band.“

“It's a typical bar on the Hollywood strip. But to their credit their drink specials aren't bad and their menu prices are one of the most reasonable on the strip. The waygu/rib burger was deceptively good. Wasn't impressed on first sight but it was tasty. Service is a B but to be expected for a busy lunch crowd.“

“I'm an Irish guy from Glendale and a US veteran to boot, been to a lot of restaurants and bars... this pub is wonderful. Love the food, atmosphere, and people that work there are great peps. The owner is a super friendly guy "Willy" and was always walking around talking to people, like a good business owner will do. No wonder this bar has been and is a staple for Santa Monica. Parking is okay, but it's Santa Monica! Lol Anyways, love this bar! Next time I'll take a picture of the Irish breakfast that I ordered on Saturday 03/16/24. It was GREAT!“

“I went to The Irish Times Pub & Restaurant last night. My party and I went for trivia night. It was fun. There were great vibes all around. I love the decor inside. We shared a plate of Irish Nachos (the chips were replaced with fries). At first, the kitchen mistakenly gave us a plate of Irish Nachos with bacon (we had requested no bacon). The order was later corrected. The food was good. I had two Dingle Berry drinks, which I enjoyed.“

“This is a hybrid dive bar that has some amazing staff and jukebox play. It’s hybrid because it has a pizza shop next door that has really amazing pizza. They don’t have food but easily accessible. The Guinness is outstanding; clean lines and ice cold. They have jukebox you can DJ and Liz and Kanna were really gracious hosts for us. We stayed at the Best Western nearby and used this as our staging point before our cruise. It’s a really cool local with very nice people.“

“Pre St Patrick's Day visit!Great prices, especially v's other nearby restaurants.Really nice service which was very efficient.I started eating my dish before taking a pic!This was a steak and shrimp dish (originally 3 or 4 shrimp) which was delish.“

“So I had a weird experience once, but ever since, this place has stepped up their game!! I come in just for Jess because she's awesome, and Mariah's customer service skills and bartending technique have vastly improved!! This place is exactly what you're looking for if you're into dive bars, like I am. Great sports on every tv, pool table with a bunch of regulars always happy to welcome you to the table, and an amazing sense of community. One off night shouldn't affect a Yelp score so I'm upping from a 3 to a 5! This place is great! Definitely stop in and say what's up to Jess and Mariah!!“

“Rock & Reillys is always my go to spot when I'm on the strip and looking for an easy access spot for some food and drinks. Sometimes the rainbow gets too crowded or I'm seeing a show at the Roxy and need a spot that's more low key, quick in and out and Rock & Reillys always meets that need. I like the inside as it has separate rooms which help to make it feel a little more spacious. Their bar top is another great option if you're not coming for food and just need a drink. You can eat at the bar but I find it's more comfortable eating at one of their booths. The staff here in my experience are usually pretty nice but sometimes you do have to flag someone down for service. It all just depends on how busy they are. This spot has bathrooms that are usually clean compared to the other local venues so sometimes I sneak over here as well - regardless if I am actually dining in or not. Don't tell anyone. Haha. The sunset strip is a lawless place and sometimes you have to do what you have to do. The food is average but I'm usually just coming here to grab a drink, potty, and to kick my feet up after a concert lol. In the past I've gotten appetizers and they are basic but filling. No issues. Definitely a good mixture of being a tourist spot and one for the locals. I've been coming here for at least 10+ years and it's a local spot no doubt.“

“Met up with a big group of friends here for a mini reunion. Plenty of seating for us. Our waitress was super friendly, accommodating and attentive as was the bartender. We order all sorts of foods - chicken sandwich, fries sampler, chicken fingers, steak dip sandwich, salad, cheeseburger, etc. Good bar food. Hennessey's lemonade was a yummy cocktail.“

“Came here to watch March madness and the atmosphere was incredible! Their food is good and so are their drinks. They normally have happy hour but due to March madness they weren't doing the deals... but they did have $20 pitchers or anything which is cheap for culver. Biggest plus is that they have waiters who come around to the tables so you don't have to order at the bar. They have a ton of seating - main level, patio & upstairs. Great place to watch sports with all the TVs. This Jameson's is so much better than the Santa Monica one!!“

“Our family had a delicious meal at Jameson's Pub which is designed like an authentic Irish pub. We happened to hit the " all you can eat Prime Rib" night and the meal was outstanding. The Fish and Chips meal was also excellent with a great batter on the fish and a large helping of plank fries. Cheerful , fast service , and clean bathrooms are also worth mentioning. One suggestion... it would be nice to have some Irish music ? to add to the experience. We will certainly return to this Pub!“
