They had run out of fish and chips at 6:10 when we ordered on a Saturday night. For an Irish pub that was depressing. We also waited for 45 mins for our food and we had theater tickets so we had to eat quickly to be able to make it on time.

Food was great, service not so much. Forgot half the table's order, then forgot again so food for half came well after the rest finished. Did take it off the bill though, so thank you for that. Did not seem to have 1 server for the table so perhaps that would help.

We stopped into this Irish pub for dinner before heading to the theatre, and it was absolutely perfect. From the moment we arrived, everything was spot on — welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and beautifully prepared food. Every dish we ordered was fantastic, comforting yet elevated, and exactly what we were hoping for. It was the ideal pre-theatre meal: relaxed, delicious, and unrushed. Sharing this experience with my daughter made it even more special. We left feeling satisfied, happy, and ready for a wonderful evening out. We would gladly return and highly recommend it.

Typical Irish bar and restaurant so nothing too surprising But some of the food wasn't the greatest - i.e. the Irish Nachos brought on tin foil which meant the entire bottom layer couldn't be eaten since it stuck to the food. Need more staff - we had to wait quite awhile and would have drank more if service was faster

Food was awesome, it was a little loud for our group of older ladies, but was super close to The Princess Of Wales Theatre & we received a discount off our bill for presenting our tickets for The Sound of Music! Awesome staff/servers!👍👍👍

Server barely stopped by. One out of two appetizers we started with came out wrong compared to the description. Found hair in both starting apps. Quickly paid and left to go next door for a great meal. Come here for a pint and that's it.

We held an event for 50 people here and it was awesome! The team was so easy to deal with and the service was good! We stayed for the live band which was tons of fun.

Finding a place in the downtown core that can accommodate a group of 40–50 people for Happy Hour drinks is almost impossible. Most venues require a minimum spend of at least $50 per person, which is quite challenging when not everyone drinks or only plans to have more than one.
But Lauren and the staff at Grace O’Malley’s were fantastic. They were able to accommodate us, and my group had a great time. The space allowed us to sit or stand comfortably and socialize.
We didn’t eat, but we definitely took full advantage of the $6 Happy Hour drinks from 3–6 p.m.
We’ll definitely be back!

Went here for my first Irish pub experience on a Friday evening. My friend and I ordered a Fish and Chips and Cauliflower Bites and 2 doubles. I'd recommend the fish and chips, the fries were amazing. But the sauce for the Cauliflower bites wasn't my taste.
Our waitress was kind and helpful, but we were charged $14 per double instead of the $10 she quoted. When we went back to clarify the charge, she checked and said the price had changed last week without her knowing.
Unfortunately, another staff member stepped in and made comments like, “So you came back just for $4?” and “Don’t get angry, darling,” which felt dismissive and unprofessional. He did refund the $16 difference, but the interaction left a poor impression despite the good food and kind service from our waitress.

This was the second time our Association has hosted an event at Grace O’Malley’s, and once again, the experience was exceptional. The service is consistently outstanding, the food is incredibly flavorful, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.
Our server last night, Olivia, was absolutely fantastic—attentive, friendly, and ensured that everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for better hospitality.
Grace O’Malley’s has quickly become a go-to venue for our Toronto alumni network, and we’re thrilled with the experience each time we visit. Highly recommend!
Everything about this place was perfect. Bartender and waitress were very sweet, shoutout to Vivian & Jon.

I had the pleasure of having Kurdy as my bartender. He called me “darling” and I felt so loved & cared for. I couldn’t image better bartender. Please calls me

Grace O'Malley's is a lively Irish pub in downtown Toronto that’s perfect for a fun night out. They’ve got classic pub food like wings, burgers, and fish and chips, plus a great selection of beer and cocktails. The live music and friendly crowd make it a great place to unwind.
The vibe is upbeat and welcoming, with plenty of space for groups and dancing when the band gets going. The staff are quick and cheerful, keeping the energy high all night.
