We love Bull McCabes and have been coming here since they opened. All the outdoor space is great when the weather is nice, and indoors feels warm and cozy when it's crummy outside.

Good bar to grab a beer. I'm not sure how I feel about the new food options. I kinda miss the food from back around 2010, but that's just me.

We used to love coming to Bull McCabe anytime we wanted good sandwiches or burgers and some drinks. The atmosphere remains great with plenty of seating and nice lights on the lawn. But the one star is still justified because of how disappointed we were in the food tonight. I was craving my go to mushroom Philly and Caesar salad and my husband was wanting a burger. But we discovered they changed their menu to be an Indian inspired menu but also with random bar food (none of them vegetarian) or Mediterranean (falafel, hummus). It was so confusing. As a vegetarian who was in no mood for Indian food (despite that being my favorite cuisine) and not expecting it at an Irish pub, I was forced to get a kids mac and cheese and hummus and falafel. The pasta was gross. The falafel was so overly fried and rock hard. You also can’t order beer with the QR code like before which was so convenient, you have to go up to the window. It was SUCH a disappointing meal. The only good thing was that we discovered this horrible change tonight so we no longer have our anticipated plans to come with a large group next week for my birthday. I really hope this is temporary and they bring back the Philly and all the other popular dishes.

Me and my wife used to love this place for the food but last time we came we were extremely disappointed. They changed their menu to an India food concept. We loved Indian food to the point we catered Indian food for our wedding, but still didn’t understand the concept. Food was totally forgettable, not cheap, and honestly doesn’t make any sense for the place, and Irish pub. I really hope they go back to their former menu which we really like specially all the vegetarian options.

Menu change has been atrocious. There are loads of better pubs in Durham, including one right down the street. Not worth it.
I have loved Bull McCabes for years and have even gone as far as to title it one of my favorite spots in Durham for food and drinks. I was so disappointed to learn that the menu has substantially changed. I came for lunch a few times each month and loved getting the Smash Burger with fries and the ranch - no more smash burger AND you changed your ranch??? So disappointing. I unfortunately was underwhelmed by the new options and will not be recommending going further.

Great pub with absolutely delicious food, fairly priced drinks, and friendly service. I really appreciated the music not being too loud, and I was able to catch up with some friends I haven't seen in awhile.

Fantastic bartenders and good pub food. Best place to watch sports games, especially soccer and football.
