This isn't an Irish pub, this is just a restaurant/ bar call it what it is ppl what a major disappointment

Johnny Ramires

Even though they only had one server she hustled to get everyone’s drinks ready. Pretty chill

DO NOT EAT HERE!! Yuck. Rosie’s deserves to be burned down. It was absolutely disgusting I ate lunch here; mashed potatoes and a burger. All afternoon I was throwing up from some kind of food poising. The staff was really rude and beyond creepy. The whole establishment was so tacky and cheap looking. Homeless people surrounded the area too which made it so unsafe. I’m not even trying to be dramatic but I saw rodents scurrying behind the bar. If I was Irish I would absolutely appalled and felt like my history was ruined.

I feel it's losing its old Irish vibe after the pandemic.

Pretty good variety of spirits on hand here and the folks are friendly and attentive. Food experience was okay, a little overcooked. I like the atmosphere of the pub and the interior is nice.

Stopped in for a bite prior to attending a concert and, as usual, it looks ok, the food is decent, and the wait staff seems lost & stoned. Nothing to write home about and it serves its purpose well enough (if you have the patience for it).

Always fun to go to Rosie McCann's. The food is great and the helpings are generous.Vegetarian options: My son is vegan and they adjust dishes to suit him. He enjoyed his meal. My 14 year old great grandson is picky but starting to experiment with food and he was happy.

I posted on yelp but it should be shared here too.The staff is very nice and polite. The food is bland. I ordered the shepherd pie and I couldn't finish eating it because it just tasted like gray. Seriously I'm someone who tries not to waist food and this had zero flavor it was horrible.Can't blame them for the bad food though, it's a Northern Ireland pub (loyalist) so like true British they don't know how to cook. It's not a real Irish pub and it's quite insulting.If you want to try real Irish food don't bother going here, if you want to try British food I complete recommend this place.

The calamari was thick and cold and the server checked on us once and took forever to get our bill.

Stood waiting at bar for 10mins after server said she would be ‘right with us’ then served other people and broke down cardboard boxes. A place for the locals, not so friendly to out of town folk.

Pub located downtown Santa Cruz. After 10pm this place turns into more of a night club scene. Great place with lots of beer on tap. Full bar serving good drinksKid-friendliness: **Only when the restaurant is open** since the bar stays open later and it's 21+

If you're not a faired skin person don't expect to get waited on. Stay clear of this place because they will judge you the moment you walk through the door and up the stairs. That will determine whether they want your business. They will literally let you sit there until you decide you've had enough of their prejudice, and walk out. I watched 3 families walk in after me and get waited. One was right in front of us. Whether it's because they're extremely unorganized or absolutely racist, do not waste your time.
