Underage crowd has moved in

by girlpowerpace

For whatever reason, this place lets underage kids drink here on Thursday, Friday And Saturday nights. My friends and I went in for a drink around 11pm , and it was full of students from the undergrad. It was never like this!!! Avoid this place (unless you have a fake id)

  • Pros: Cheap drinks
  • Cons: Cheasy crowd; underage drinkers allowed

Great Food! Love Lunch & Happy Hour!

by yoboski

I've been to Ryan Maguire's several times for lunch & happy hour.

Their food is great! They offer a lot more than just bar food. Personally, I love the French Onion Soup and the Veggie Burger. I've also tried items that my friends ordered- Penne ala Vodka, Mussels in White Wine Sauce, Pork Chops & Sirloin Steak. Everything has been amazing! The steak was cooked perfectly...

The staff is great too. It's a casual place but you're still very well taken care of. There are lots of Irish lads & lasses on the staff.

Happy Hour is a ton of fun. A good mix of suits and sports fans. They provide a complimentary buffet of pasta and hors d' oeuvres at the bar. Very welcome by me on an empty stomach after work... Love to hang out for hours nibbling and throwing back a pint- The bartenders know how to pour Guinness like it should be!

Overall, it's a great place to go for lunch & happy to have good food and unwind. They're open at the weekends now too, which I hear has been drawing a great crowd for games!

Slainte!

  • Pros: Food, pints, people- all great!
  • Cons: Up until recently it was closed at the weekends- but they fixed that!

Great Burger

by soulyinclined

They have a great selection of burgers including a Veggie Burger that has garnered rave reviews from everyone I know that has ever tried one. I prefer a regular burger or buffalo meat burger (which they also have here) with some bacon and blue cheese on top. Ryan Maguire's doesn't just take a temp on your burger, they actually cook it to your specs. Give this hidden gem a try.

  • Pros: no pretension, great food, fair price

This place is great

by pacemikeb

This place is amazing. You think it's just some average bar with crappy food, but really they have nothing bad on their menu. It's just extremely well prepared, large portioned and not too pricey american/irish/italian food.

  • Pros: Food, Price, Food
