We came here on a Friday night that wasn't even that busy. Standing at the counter for some time, I was waiting for the closest bartender to finish her conversation with someone she was talking to. After she was done, we finally got our drinks. We went over to the pool table(only reason I gave this place two stars) and we had a decent time playing a game. The main issue here was the bartender staff. We went back up for a second round of drinks and this time the other bartender paid no mind to me standing there. Finally got our beers. Then we went to this other sitting area in the corner, they had a Jenga with silly rules on it that we played. While we played, we met some other people hanging out in the crowd that were friendly. After we had gotten to really know each other I decided to buy us some Jager bombs. Tell me why they gave us the Jager shots with no red bull drinks. I had to ask the male bartender what happened to my order and he fortunately served us quick this time. Unfortunately, these cups of red bull did not allow us to sink the Jager shots into them. Im not sure what is happening at this bar but they are messing up.

Cute dive bar by the ocean with a terrible, rude bartender (tall, blonde). My friend and I stopped in for one drink. We wanted to check out and trying to get the bartenders attention. We understand that she was busy. She did not ask us if she wanted to put both of our drinks onto one tab. She assumed and then got angry and passive aggressive when we mentioned we did not want both of the drinks on one tab but we're OK with it. After she rolls her eyes and says "oh lord"... She came back and threw a $10 bill across the bar at us and said there I just bought your drink. This was rude and unprofessional. This was not taken lightly.

Went in here on night for a drink and the police come in to chat and look everyone up and down. Then the bartender starts laughing with the Coo about getting someone rolled up. Stay away not a good vibe at all.

Good drinks and perfect divey ambiance. The pair of pool tables is a great touch as well as all the fixtures hanging all over. Can't wait to come back for a long night of drinking

We come every year for our anniversary, and every year, we make new friends and are treated GREAT by all the bartenders. Male and female bartenders alike. I enjoy playing a variety of music and getting the overall reaction. No matter if it's a week night or weekend, we get a great reception and thoroughly enjoy ourselves! It's definitely a spot for lots of activity and interaction !! Have never experienced a dull time here! I'm not trying to lose seats at the bar by getting you all attracted to this place, but.... lol, being selfless, I can't just leave it without reviewing it. We have now included St. Paddys day to visit in addition to our anniversary because we really enjoy it that much! I'm kind of glad I don't live as close as I'd like to, or I'd be here daily, lol.

This is the cleanest dive bar I've ever been to. Strong pours for drinks, pool tables, outdoor patio, golden tee, darts, etc. recommend if you're a dive bar fan.

We went there after the Seal Beach Classic Car show to chill and have a drink, ordered classic Irish car bombs which was ok. They have pool tables and a small patio on the back. The place has a good vibe, the only thing sounds a big issue to me was that the bartenders both the lady and the man with beard were drinking behind the bar with their regular customers. As long as I'm concerned bartenders are not allowed to drink while at work since this impairs their judgement, and they are responsible to serve safe. I saw a loud 'obviously intoxicated' lady walking passed our pool table have like 4 shots in her hands spilling almost one third of them on the pool table and just continued drinking with her friends. To me she should've been cut off and not served any more alcohol, the establishment needs to take these issues more seriously.

The day of my visit was St. Patty's day so we were there to drink. We had several cold Guinness. The service was top notch even though the place was packed. Didn't have any food so, I'll try something on my next visit.
The worse place ever! The woman working there should be doing something else that doesn't include customer contact.

Once upon a time, this Faerie Queen and the gaggle of geese descended upon The Irisher for good St. Patrick's Day cheer. The faces are familiar each year and the staff always friendly. As the day progresses, this place becomes a rollicking mad house! Always worth the visit! The end.

Super a hole ginger bartender suffering from douche disease. I believe its terminal. Pass on this joint.

Place sucks. The Chuckie looking ginger bartender was the biggest douche I've ever dealt with at a bar. Zero bulge explains everything. Came in with a group of ten and he ignored us to tend to his regulars then acted like a DB when we asked to be served. Zero stars for this s*** hole.
