The Irish Bank Bar & Restaurant

Came here with friends on a Friday night out to try some Irish food and drinks :)My friend and I shared the vegetarian shepherd's pie and the sampler platter! The sampler platter was amazing - filled with fried mozzarella (had many great cheese pulls), chicken tenders, and potato skins (loaded with cheese and bacon). They also gave us three dipping sauces - honey mustard, ranch, marinara sauce ! It was amazing and I would definitely come back again for it (10/10). I also enjoyed trying the shepherds pie - it had a strong tomato taste and was a little bit spicy, but the mashed potatoes on top were particularly delicious (8/10)!For drinks, I got the pomegranate margarita, which was delicious! The best drink I tried was the blueberry cosmo - it barely tasted like alcohol. My friend described it as even tasting like a berry otter pop as it tasted dangerously non-alcoholic! For dessert, my three friends and I shared a chocolate lava cake, which came with ice cream (vanilla) and cherries! Was very delicious -10/10!The ambiance was great as well - I enjoyed the general vibes and the Irish-themed decor! The service was also great, as the servers were very attentive!Overall, would definitely come back again :)

AMAZING place! Loved the chili (made with chorizo)!My hubby's Phili Cheese steak was incredible as well as beer battered onion rings.Tried a Hoegaarden....my new favorite beer.

Quaint, friendly, cozy place with pretty good food and great drinks. The pumpkin spice old fashioned was ‍. Nice outdoor space, too. Very convenient parking nearby on sutter if you need it.

I went in mid-week for lunch and enjoyed the atmosphere of a laid back Irish Pub. Bartender was great, fish n chips taste wonderful, and I enjoyed relaxing at the bar and people watching. They have a nice outdoor alley way for eating outdoors as well as the old bar feel inside .

This is a fantastic spot for a team lunch or any group gathering! We were warmly greeted and seated at a spacious table that fit everyone comfortably. Drinks arrived quickly, and the food followed just as fast--everything was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, perfect for good conversations and laughs with co-workers. The staff's attentive service made the experience even better. If you're in the area and looking for great vibes, amazing food, and exceptional service, this place is a must-visit!

The ambiance of this bar is another level. It is 10/10. The location is also great and very close to the financial district. Employees are friendly and they really care about customers.I didn't like the drinks and everything was mostly regular drinks. If they can put more alternatives in the menu it would be awesome.

Loved this place!!! We stumbled upon it after walking through Chinatown. Freshly squeezed cucumber juice made this drink delicious, the ambience was fun, and the service was fabulous.

This is my go-to spot when I'm visiting union square. The service is great (order at the bar) and I love that it feels like a very cozy Irish bar when you walk in yet there's a ton of chairs and tables in the back and outside. There's a full bar and the food is (surprisingly) good! I loooooove the personal-sized shepherd's pie and the curry fries (it's not a powder, you get a side of curry sauce to dip). Fish and chips has a crispy and light batter. The prices are also reasonable so definitely check it out if you don't want to be gouged on those tourist prices.

So this is a solid Irish bar with a really decent menu. Fish and Chips is a must order. Shepherds pie is decent. Steak cut fries are a must, Irish style curry sauce can accompany. Service is very good here. The vibe is friendly and the decor is thoughtful and authentic. I would definitely recommend for a casual meal with friends or drinks! Chocolate Lava cake didn't disappoint either.

Went bar hopping in SF on a Friday afternoon and my friends like to take a stop here. There is an alley way with tables outside and the bathroom is right next to the entrance, tons of places to sit and they have a kitchen! We stopped for a round, and I would say it's your usual Irish bar and we saw someone get mozzarella sticks and we devoured it with all of our drinks! Service was great and the fish and chips looked good too! We just got your regular drinks-- a beer, tequila soda, margarita, Manhattan.
