McCreary's Irish Pub & Eatery

Quality of food, drink, and service were all outstanding. Cannot wait to visit again!

I ordered the Dublin pot pie....the flavor was 10/10 delicious, but it was less than half filled, and the bowl was small. As someone who normally always takes home leftovers, I was left hungry after this meal. It felt like a trick to cover the pot pie in a puff pastry yet barely have any protein contents inside. I was so bummed! And the Irish crème cheesecake barely tasted like Irish crème - it tasted like a subpar cheesecake. Maybe it was just an off night, but it felt like a letdown. Be aware that some nights include live music upstairs, so it can get a bit rowdy and loud even downstairs.

Pleasantly surprised by our first experience here. Service was outstanding! Nice upstairs with live music throughout the evening. Food was delicious! Tot appetizers hit the spot and the burgers were cooked perfectly. Will come back for sure!

So the first time I came here when they opened I got a Rueben and it was really anemic. Like one piece of corned beef. It was disappointing enough that I just came back and this time was worse. I came in because my little girl wanted soup so I decided to try the fish and chips. The fries were whatever, but the fish was really bad. Like mush. It tasted like something you would buy at Walmart and air fry. I took 2 bites and felt sick. I let my waiter know. No one said anything to me. The only thing he said was "it's a 3% charge for credit cards". Nothing removed from my bill no apology nothing. This place has a good pint but so do a lot of places. Extremely disappointed and felt like I wasted money tonight.

Cute small establishment in downtown Columbia, TN!! Very clean place with young friendly staff. Sat promptly and was able to run to the restroom. I was very pleased to find super nice and clean restrooms! What a treat!I chose the cottage pie - an Irish restaurant that knows the difference between shepherd's pie and cottage pie is a big deal to me!! If you use beef, you are making COTTAGE pie. Shepherd's pie is with lamb! Get it right, people!!The cottage pie was quite savory with full flavour if fresh thyme. Generous portion, I thought, but I would have liked a bit more peas and carrots. The Irish soda bread was absolutely heavenly! Don't miss out on it! They also serve a small salad with the meal and I got it with their house balsamic vinaigrette. Delicious! Very fresh salad made with actual greens and accented with chopped carrots snd tomato. Dressing was full of thyme and balsamic flavour.The ambience is young and fun, with the authenticness of a pub. They have a nice selection of brews and liquors. They also feature some events on select days. Check ahead of time! I will be back. Had a lovely time!!

A little crowded, a bit noisy in a narrow antique brick building. Best bet is to go upstairs to avoid the kerfuffle at the entrance. The service is exemplary, they are attenative and do very well in making you feel welcome. The food, everything is top shelf. Fish and chips, Corned beef eggrolls, Cottage pie, Rueben, it is all deliscous. We have tried a good portion of the menu and everything has been very good to exceptional

Service and Enviroment was good. It was trivia night - very pleasant and friendly. Guineas Draft two other drafts were good. Appetizer of Crisps w/ beer cheese and Corned beef - great idea idea received bacon instead. I would have preferred to have it replaced with beef instead of it being taken care of. But the main course had arrived. Cabbage and corned beef and Reuben sandwich - I am a big fan of corned beef in all sorts of dishes - neither one of these met my liking - the portion was thick and rectangular 1/4-1/2 inch thick like a spam slice. In cabbage prefer it moist and shredded and in Reuben thin sliced so you can enjoy the kraut and sauce. The patty melt was good and tasty. 1st experience was better than this one. We also tried different food dishes.

My sandwich was mouth wateringly delicious. The cheese curds were good, and their special dipping sauce was yummy. The service was mediocre and it took forever for the waiter to take our order and it took a long time for food to get to the table. If youve got a lot of time on your hands and are patient/not in a rush, its a good place to eat. Its small and slow paced but its good food.

We are new to the area and wanted to try something new so we came here. When we arrived at the restaurant it was packed with people and the atmosphere was amazingly energetic. The table next to us order a shrimp dish which I ended up ordering too. My wife ordered the soup, salad and a hot beer cheese potato. For a starter, we ordered the pork bangers and mash.The pork banger with horseradish sauce was a pleasant surprise for me. The shrimp was excellent along with the, white chicken chili. The salad tasted good but the portion was fairly small. We finished our meal with an ordinary slice of Irish cream cheesecake. We ran into problems when it came to the beer cheese potato. It was dry and the beer cheese was lacking. When we asked for some beer cheese to go with our uneaten potato, we were told it was an up charge of $2... the portion presented for the $2 up charge was amusing. (We were not told it was for 2 ounces.)When the manager came to the table she said the $2 up charge was because they use 2 different beers. She corrected me when I said it was an oz of beer cheese. In the end she gave us a 2nd "serving" of beer cheese for free.. Hmm you be the judge. (If you look at the 2 oz cup I was given, you can see how little cheese was inside. You be the judge on the amount)Overall the food was good and service was slow but polite. We may return.

A great Black & Tan and we en the Corned beef egg rolls and the Paddy meltFriendly efficient staff makes it fun!
