1916 Irish Pub

It's a decent friendly neighborhood Irish Pub with live music. Came to see Eddie Wright, who we love. Nice week night out, since he started playing at 7pm, and not packed out like a weekend. Nice Irish menu and various other favorites, real food, not all bar food. I like this place.

Atmosphere - Great! Like most pubs, the restaurant has a fun feel and is welcoming. There are both high tops and regular 4 top tables. There is a very small stage where live music can be found on a fairly regular basis. Service - Very good. There was a popular musician playing that night and the restaurant was crowded and yet our server did a great job attending to us.Food - Disappointing. The menu is excellent and has many interesting options. I had the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. I have ordered this sandwich often over the years and have enjoyed the authentic version in Nashville. Unfortunately, this sandwich does not measure up to what I expected. The chicken was tender and cooked perfectly. However, the hot sauce had plenty of heat, but little pleasure. In addition the sandwich came with kettle chips which were so hard I was afraid that I might chip a tooth! Overall Value - Just OK. Although the restaurant has some appealing attributes, I can't get past the disappointment of the meal.

We came for the purpose of hearing Damon, who has been highly recommended by friends. Parking was a bit challenging as many people had the same idea and the lot isn't large.The bar/restaurant is fairly large, with high tops and low tops. The stage area is very small, and can't be seen by all parts of the restaurant. Our server was quick to take our drink order while we looked over the menu. The menu is extensive, with numerous appetizers, sandwiches, salads and entrees. I settled on the French dip,with the parmesan crusted fries as a side.Our food came fairly quick and everything was hot. Since there were 8 of us, food came out at 3 different times, but not too far between. My sandwich was large, and filled with lots of beef and cheese. The au jus was a thick gravy, not what I had ever experienced before. It was way too salty, so I opted not to use it. The fries were very good. The live music was not disappointing. Service was decent considering the crowd.

We ventured out from Riverview for our weekly happy hour with friends. The old parking lot and curb appeal can be misleading. Don't be deterred, the food, service and drinks were all top notch. I had wings which I ordered "Robbie's Way" a mix of Thai Chili and Nashville Hot... the way Robbie (doing double duty as a server and manager) recommended. There was live entertainment which was excellent. too.

I went with a group on a Sunday afternoon & we had a lovely experience. I knew the former business that was there, so seeing the transformation was quite shocking. it definitely has an edgy, pub feel. Where we were sitting there's a raised area like a stage, maybe for live music? There's a pool tables and some other games. Our server was attentive and friendly. Our food all came out at the same time. The wings were amazing and probably my most favorite thing was the pub chips. Others in our group had the French dip, salads, and the fish and chips. Everyone enjoyed their food. Definitely will be back to try the flatbreads. Once the word gets out I'm sure 1916 Irish pub will be packed.

Great neighborhood bar/restaurant. Love the fried pickles ! Really good flavor. And the Nashville hot chicken sandwich.! Soooo Good!!! Crispy & flavorful! Fish & Chips was a hit as well!

The place was really nice with live music. We got the burger that came with a delicious goat cheese and the Mediterranean flatbread both really good. The only thing is they had one server for the entire place so it took so long.

Second location for this successful Plant City bar and restaurant company. They have done a good job at duplicating their business plan from the original Plant City location. Food, drinks and fun, what else do you need in a local bar?

We have a "gang" that enjoys going out to dinner together most Fridays. Last Friday we tried 1916 Irish Pub for the first time. The place was nearly empty so they were lucky to have the ten of us. The live music group was good. The server, Coleen, was nice. So why two stars? Well, my Shepherd's Pie, although it purported to contain ground lamb, was pretty tasteless. But the biggest problem was the glass of wine I ordered. It was Chardonnay. And it was spoiled. The wine had oxidized. I know wine. The color had turned dark orangey yellow, the smell was musty, and the taste was almost sour. I had another person at the table who also knows wine taste it and she agreed. When I informed our server, she said, "I'm sorry you didn't like it." I explained again that it wasn't that - the wine had oxidized and was spoiled. I explained it was either corked, or it had sat around a long time with air in the bottle. She offered to replace the glass and asked if I would like a Pinot Grigio. I said, if the bartender would open a new bottle of Chardonnay, I would have a glass of that, otherwise, yes, Pinot Grigio. She came back with the Pinot and said the bartender wasn't going to open a fresh bottle of Chardonnay. So if you're there in the next day or two, beware ordering Chardonnay! It really is unconscionable that they would continue to serve that spoiled wine.

Food service was extremely slow. Waitress was doing the best she could. Cocktails were not up to par, barely acceptable. The menu stated 16oz Guinness. Was served a 14oz beer - manager/owner stated they don't have 16oz glasses. Then they shouldn't have a pint on the menu.Husband got food poisoning from the beef stew. Will definitely not return or recommend.
