Traditional Irish bar with burgers & pub-grub staples, TV sports, 20 beers on tap & sidewalk tables.
We used to love coming to Bull McCabe anytime we wanted good sandwiches or burgers and some drinks. The atmosphere remains great with plenty of seating and nice lights on the lawn. But the one star is still justified because of how disappointed we were in the food tonight. I was craving my go to mushroom Philly and Caesar salad and my husband was wanting a burger. But we discovered they changed their menu to be an Indian inspired menu but also with random bar food (none of them vegetarian) or Mediterranean (falafel, hummus). It was so confusing. As a vegetarian who was in no mood for Indian food (despite that being my favorite cuisine) and not expecting it at an Irish pub, I was forced to get a kids mac and cheese and hummus and falafel. The pasta was gross. The falafel was so overly fried and rock hard. You also can’t order beer with the QR code like before which was so convenient, you have to go up to the window. It was SUCH a disappointing meal. The only good thing was that we discovered this horrible change tonight so we no longer have our anticipated plans to come with a large group next week for my birthday. I really hope this is temporary and they bring back the Philly and all the other popular dishes.
Excellent service. Cool vibes. Good food. I had the burger flat and it was delicious.
5 stars because vibes are great and trivia (Wednesdays at 8) is fun! Tons of outdoor seating with a great atmosphere with live music sometimes, perfect for a big group Burger was average, I probably won't get food again unless it's some tenders after a few drinks. To be fair I haven't tried a lot of the stuff they have so maybe I'm judging too quickly. They only have one kind of cider though if you're not a beer drinker. Location has a lot of stuff around, definitely a great spot
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5) Bull McCabe's Irish Pub has an incredible atmosphere! The decor and vibe absolutely capture the feeling of being in an authentic Irish pub. It's a great spot to hang out and enjoy a few drinks. The drink pours were perfect, and I have no complaints in that area. This place has an amazing outdoor green area with a live band, in the heart of downtown. However, I was a bit disappointed with the food. The menu was pretty basic, and the options seemed more like frozen, pre-made items rather than freshly cooked meals. I was expecting a bit more variety and quality, especially considering how authentic the atmosphere felt. That said, it's still a great place to relax with friends and enjoy the pub environment. While the food didn’t meet my expectations, I’d definitely come back to hang out for the atmosphere.
Good bar to grab a beer. I'm not sure how I feel about the new food options. I kinda miss the food from back around 2010, but that's just me.
