McNamara's Pub & Restaurant

First timer here. Great service by a very responsive team. Excellent beer selection and the menu is exceptional. I ordered the fish & chips and it didn't disappoint.

I came here with a large group to watch the Eagles game on a Sunday. I ordered the calamari, which was a huge miss because they were really soggy-- to the point where they were dripping. I actually had to stop eating the calamari, and switch over to eating the marinara sauce (which was good!) The fries were great! The reuben was also a miss unfortunately for me because there just wasn't enough meat in it.I know our group was there for a couple hours to watch the game, but we also had to serve ourselves water

My friends and I wanted to check this place out after our rock climbing session. Was a pleasant surprise, with great services and, a lively ambiance for a Wednesday night, and the food was great. I had the fish and chips, the fish was not greasy, light batter, and the fish didn't taste like it was frozen. The tartar sauce was solid, the chips were ok, nothing to complain about. The mimosa was good as well, pretty refreshing.

We came here to try the spice bags and were absolutely blown away by how delicious the food was. Everyone was very friendly and the service was great! We started with the artichoke spinach dip and then had a spice bag and the bangers and mash. Absolutely phenomenal and highly recommend. It was a normal pub inside with a spot for live music, so have to come back and check that out. GET THE SPICE BAG!!!

First time at McNamara's Pub in Arlington, VA. We enjoyed eating the following:-Thai chicken wings -Buffalo chicken wings-Chicken pot pie-Apple pie a la mode-Bacon cheese sandwich-Crispy French fries Everything we ate was so delicious!! The servers were very nice but a bit slow getting our drink refills. They had karaoke at restaurant and wished I had the courage to go on stage and sing like the girl in video! Lol The restaurant was clean with indoor and outdoor seating. The east coast is very HOT this time of year so best getting a table inside restaurant where there's AC. Looking forward to coming back for the chicken wings. Give this place a try when in the area.Happy Yelping :)

The customer service was top notch. I asked what I should order between three dishes, and I agreed to let him surprise me. I ended up with the shepherds pie, which was good. They had a stage so, I believe they offer live music. Overall, good food and customer service. I would recommend.

McNamara's is a popular sports bar in Crystal City with a nice old-school vibe. Kind of reminds you of the pubs in London or the bar from the old sitcom, Cheers. Wooden decor and signed jerseys from famous athletes everywhere. I came here for solo dinner and started with a Candied Bacon Old Fashioned. Very good classical cocktail with that twist at the end, and yes bacon goes well with everything! For entrees, I went for the Honey Glazed Salmon, Good portion size and the salmon was cooked perfectly along with the rice and generous portion of veggies. I wished it had more glaze though, since the carrot puree was soaked up by all the rice. Solid dish, but next time I'm eating at an Irish Gastropub it's probably better to have local favorites like fish and chips or Shepherd's Pie.Speaking of pie, their Apple Pie is a solid dessert. It came out hot (as all good apple pies should be!) wide a side of both vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.

Horrible horrible horrible. I can only believe the great reviews are from staff posting high reviews. The food was HORRIBLE. I'm sitting here sick to my stomach. Grease dripped from my food. Quesadillas disgusting. Fish and chips tasted like SOAP. Health inspectors need to to visit this restaurant (and I think I will make that happen). That fish was definitely months old frozen. The Shepards pie?? Filllllllled with grease....I cannot express to you in words how bad this food was...

Good ol Irish Pub with all the standards. The stew was quite yummy and a generous portion. Wish they had soda bread though. The service was great and the crowd lively.Definitely a place I go to when you need a good meal.

The food was mediocre and overpriced. The ambience was meh. The service was terrible. Four people cost $190. Do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere.
