Hibernian Restaurant & Pub

We stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon about 2:00. Not many people were here. We were greeted by Allison and she was doing everything. She refilled our drinks so quickly.We had a cheese steak and a salad. I wish they had more gluten free options besides salad. My husband likes his sandwich. I wish there was more bacon on my garden salad.

I was so excited when I saw them on the bar crawl lineup. They had amazing tacos and drinks last year. Sadly this year they were disappointing. We waited over 45 minutes and our tacos hadn't arrived. The manager didn't seem as if he could be bothered to check on it or offer much of an apology. The server walked by hurriedly and once throughout the 45 minuted offered an apology saying they were busy. Truthfully they were busier last year when they offered better service, great drinks and food. I know for future reference to just pass by if this spot is on any future bar crawls. I sat and watched everyone else be served and get their food. Yet, we ended up leaving hungry. Thank goodness there were other spots to enjoy. We wasted way too much time waiting for our tacos that never came.

I have to start with an important preface, I frequented this bar from 2002-2006. It's been a long time so grain of salt. On a Friday or Saturday night we'd start here and hang out for a few hours, go somewhere else, then finish the night here. This was at least every other weekend for 4 years. At the time the atmosphere was ok. I was lucky enough to have been friends and lived with one of the rugby players. This bar was the main sponsor of what was basically an intramural or club squad. Which was also part of the problem.If you weren't part of the men's or women's team or friends with one, your service sucked, to be brutally honest. One of the players was notorious for sitting in one spot like Norm Peterson, but without the affable nature, and just being angry at anyone who wasn't a regular. Yeah, Sean, I remember you.Food was bad, service bad, bathrooms were worse. As I say in every review for places in Raleigh, it was pretentious.

$13 for 2 Tiny Egg Rolls cut in half? Owner needs a reality check.. they're good but they really need to consider increasing the serving size. Service also forces you get get drinks through the server who has (as of writing) taken 10 minutes to me a bottle of beer.

Our first night in the city and while we were walking, we popped into this lovely Irish pub to check out their balcony on the second floor. While there we happen to run into Keith one of the managers and had a delightful conversation with him! Because of that interaction it let us come back a few days later to actually enjoy a couple of beverages on the beautiful balcony. This location is very large with seating upstairs and downstairs, including bar, seating and balcony seating as well as plenty of tables for larger groups. Our drink of choice is always harp as we have a hard time finding it in our local stores so always enjoy having it fresh from the tap. We also experience the chicken wings With the Cajun rub. They were delicious.!

Cool irish bar. We had drinks and food and it was really good. The service was great as well. They have a rooftop bar, a bar downstairs and another side area. Lots of seating and cool places to hang out. My favorite thing was the steak and cheese egg rolls!

We had a great meal at Hibernian this week. Our cocktails were excellent and the Shepard's Pie was delicious. There was a bit of lag in service when we arrived though this may have been because we came a bit early for dinner.

Overall I think that Hibernian is a good place to come have a pint and some food. It is designed like a traditional Irish Pub with dark woods paneling, floors and furniture, and even a fireplace as you enter.I ordered a Reuben, which is the standard in my opinion which all restaurants that serve a Reuben are judged for the other food. The sandwich itself was very good and came with steak fries. The service was pretty good as well.I guess the couple of things that took away the fifth star for me was the music which was just not good pub music and there was too much cheap advertising hanging on the walls. If you go to the trouble of making the place look like a real pub then don't clutter it up with cheesy ads.

Beautiful cozy Irish pub. It was everything you wanted in a pub. You definitely feel like you're in a different world. Dark with books shelves and a roaring fireplace, and corner seating areas where you can talk with Friends with privacy. The staff is super friendly and they even have a private room that one day I have to come with the group and sit in, it holds about 10 people, and it feels like you're in a private upstairs den of an Old tavern.We ordered the Reuben and it came with perfectly swirled rye bread. It was very delicious. Come and check out this little Irish treasure.

This is a cool spot to grab a cold beer, perfectly cooked wings and fries. They also have a pretty great looking brunch menu (10-2) that I plan to try out really soon. The staff is always super friendly and accommodating. They have rooftop seating that lets you sit and enjoy the city and fresh air. This is a no brained if you're looking for an easy place to chill for a while and have some great food. Don't think twice about giving them a try.
