I had dinner here for the first time in a long time and John was our waiter and that guy was incredible. Wicked sense of humor super kind and just took such good care of us that I will come back and ask for him by name for the rest of time. Guy is an absolute diamond in the rough and a hell of a trivia guy. Made my visit here amazing!

Tried the shepherds pie and it was horrible, the bar is small and they played Spanish music nonstop at a Irish Pub for some reason.

Bouncer was very rude. We had a large group (20+ people) coming in planning to spend a decent amount of money, and the bouncer made it difficult cover wise, despite the bar being empty. You would think that when the bar is empty, you would skip the $20 cover and let people in to spend money at the bar. The bouncer was on a power trip and clearly was trying to make his own money. This bar lost thousands of dollars tonight because of bad door guys. Wish and hope this bar does better.

I was here the day before St Patrick’s day and I understand it’s packed and everyone makes mistakes but I noticed duplicate charges to my credit card that I had to get resolved. I’d watch out for that.

Great fast food vegan options

Ordered two cornbeef sandwiches and they were burnt with no chips! McShane's is much better if they weren't closed at the time I would've spent my money there instead of trying something new here.
The Old Shillelagh was never really a place I associated or thought of as a place to go eat. It was more of a place that you would go to drink before an event and just order some food. That was, until now. I work downtown and my co-workers and I are always looking for different place to try at lunch. Today I suggested we try this place b/c awhile back I spoke with the manager or I think could have been owners daughter because she mentioned the place had been in her family for years. When I asked her about the food she was mentioned how they use local ingredients and even the chicken they use is Amish chicken. After that conversation I knew I wanted to come back and try it . Well, it took a while but I am glad I finally did because the Spicy Jalapeno Burger I got was by far the best one I have had in Detroit. Yes even better than Basement Burger Bar (IMO)My co-worker and I sat at the bar. There were not many people in there but our bartender Danielle was fantastic.The prices are reasonable and competitive compared to all the other lunch places in the area.If you were like me and just thought of this place to go drink, think again and do yourself a favor and check it out if you are looking for a good Burger and Fries I promise you will not be disappointed. . I can't recommend any other food YET because this is the only thing I have tried but, I know I will be back to check out other items and will be sure to review.

Great selection of vegan options. Could use a bit more seasoning... mabe onions? Worth try! Loved the chili fries!
