Great place to listen to music live bands on Friday's & Saturdays. Also the food is amazing. I recommend the shepherds pie or patty balls. Also wings are delicious They have this game called washers on patio always fun to play

Had so much fun here! The Band killed it! 10/10 best service and the best draft beer (I hate beer) but I found one I liked there!

This place is a local Poway institution. Has the longest continuous license in Poway. The people are great, lots of locals but because of the bands on the weekends many people show up from all other places. I've met people from other countries hanging out there. The staff is great. I have some friends that hang out there. I enjoy my time with them. I've taken my brother and my sister-in-law there. The food is excellent.

The food and drinks here are the best We had a BLT onion rings were fantastic and lemon pepper wings. Those wings are freaking great!! The bartenders are super friendly. They have a fantastic patio with games. It's just a fun place to hang out lots of TVs. My favorite spot in Poway.

Get the stew. Thank me later. Don't be intimidated by the locals, but know this is the local watering hole. Wings are amaaaazzingggg. Don't bother with wing stop across the parking lot... burgers. Burgers are amazing too. Basically, the Poway Irish Pub is the best place to hang out in all of Poway.

The serving portion of cod was huge, and that's what she said. Great food. So 1 visit the next week. The meat has never thicker. Fish and chips!

The best bar in Poway. Locals are awesome and the bartenders give a s&*t. Live music Friday and Saturday. Get the Rodeo Burger! Best burger in San Diego!

Hole in the wall with the BEST fish and chips I've ever had in my life!!! The fish was fresh and a big portion so it wasn't just all batter. The tarter sauce tasted homemade and the fries were for sure hand cut. I crave this now all the time, just wish there was seating that allowed kids so we didn't need a babysitter when the cravings hit ;) Drinks were good too!!! The bartender got the rye oldfashioned just to my husbands liking and the dirty martini's were on point. We were there on a night with live music and that was a treat as well. Overall we had a great time, great meal, and wonderful drinks that didn't break the bank... we will be back.
