Proper Irish feel, food, and brews, but wish there were no TVs plastered overhead, instead of four, playing football.

Only reason for 3 stars is no phone line to order food or to check what game they're showing in bar. Fish n chips that I ordered was absolutely delicious.

If you are not 100% excited to go to Irish Pubs go someplace else. This was my first (and last) Irish Pub experience.
The ambiance was amazing. Super cozy and filled you with warm fuzziness. The wait staff was beyond amazing. The seating was comfortable and on the cold rainy day I was there they had the fireplace going and that was ever so pleasant.
If you enjoy Guiness and whiskey and maybe a little Gin this is your place. If you enjoy anything, and I do mean absolutely anything else, this place is not for you. I ending up drinking ice water but had to order the ice.
Food was below par. My selection was the fish sandwich which came with fries. Bun was soggy and fell apart in my hand. Thd fish was not crisp on the outside and was pure mush on the inside. It was as if I had a mashed fish sandwich. Fries were super thick and chunky. They were soft, barely warm and possessed no flavor.
As I was leaving there seemed to be a group of musicians setting up (in the only seats by the fire) to play. It was not clear if they were hired musicians of just a random gathering of people with instruments . My hope is that they were just random patrons because if they were paid staff it would have been extremely rude of them to occupy all the highly coveted seats by the fireplace.
Once again, if you love Guiness this is your place.

I use to love coming here for the Guinness. When I first moved here from Ireland two and a half years ago, this was my favorite spot to get a good pint of Guinness. Unfortunately, the quality of pint has dropped drastically. Tastes like Guinness from your average American pub now.

The place is nice, the staff was very friendly and the food was good. It was a little expensive, but nothing priceless.

A true hidden gem of Oakland. They have an impressive and excellently curated selection of Irish Whiskey. The beer selection is also on point (I'm a beer drinker). The vibe is super chill and every Sunday a traditional Irish band performs which is a truly unique experience. The food is on point. The servers are knowledgeable, friendly, and amazing. Weeknights are especially lovely and laid back.

We went here for an impromptu dinner. The food was fantastic and staff was amazing considering they were slammed. Cant wait to come back. When in doubt try the Shepherds Pie!
It’s a beautiful little Irish pub in jack London square. The food was awesome and so was the dessert. The place was cozy and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend.

We've had the pleasure of visiting quite a few pubs across Ireland. Sláinte is the best I've seen on the West Coast. Great food, drink, and most importantly, people.
