Service was good, beer (Kilkenny Cream Ale) was great, and dinner (lamb shank with garlic mashed potatoes) was very good. Would highly recommend! PS staff are stellar!!

We had a nightmare layover flying out of Pearson when my friend and I discovered The Irish Shebeen. It was the most accommodating place I have ever been. I always hate to overstay my welcome but before I could even express that thought the owner, Dom, knew it was going to be a while before our next flight and said we were welcome to stay. He told us about the amenities in the pub (which were fantastic even though I’m terrible at Golden Tee). He even offered to take our luggage and put them in their office.The atmosphere was great, you can sit inside but with the setup they have you can basically be outside at the same time. The food was amazing and the service was too. We stayed about 5 hours until we had to go to our next flight. Fantastic.It was a real port in storm for us. Thanks, Dom, and the staff at the Irish Shebeen.- Ryan

We are not from the area and decided that night that an irish pub would be perfect to have dinner. This was a great decision. The moment we entered, the person that greeted us went out of their way to make sure we felt at home. I later learned that this person is the GM and even if he was crazy busy, he took the time to come check on us and make sure we had everything we needed and were having a good time. The place is super inclusive. Literally everyone is welcome there. Whether you are wearing a suit and tie or just casual clothes, this place is for you. They have a very nice selection of beer, wine and cocktails. As for the food, I tried the pizza. It is thin crust pizza, which means you can take the pointy end and roll it to the edge and eat it as a roll and it is TO DIE FOR!! Seriously, the food is incredible, the place looks amazing, the staff could not be nicer, friendlier and knowleadgeable. On top of that, theres games to play! Darts, babyfoot, boardgames and all! In total honesty, you should do yourself a favor and go spend an evening there!!!

The staff are very welcoming and the food has us coming back for more. We also enjoy the patio a lot. Highly recommended. Definitely a gem of the area!

In the area on a business trip and I have to say, the BEST food and atmosphere I have had all week. My first night in I stopped here, it was quiet you know for a Monday it's to be expected but that did not stop the bartender from adding a little excitement to the evening. He was incredibly friendly, personable and genuinely interested in our conversation. I had the Lamb shank which I unfortunately did not get a picture of due to the fact that I was so eager to enjoy it, oh did I enjoy it. I visited a couple of other spots in the area, they did not compare. Which is why I came back for more! This evening a different bar tender with the same exact amount of welcoming charismatic attitude as the first. Again, personable, friendly, conversationalist. A real hometown pub you frequent feel. The Reuben fritter's were amazing. I was so anxious to try them I only got a photo shot of two, I had to save room for my shepherd's pie which was equally as AMAZING! Felt like I was eating some of my own cooking for a moment. I highly recommend The Irish Shebeen if you are in the area, I hear they also have live music on Friday and Saturday night, I am truly disappointed I won't be able to stop in for it! If you are looking for a warm, cozy, friendly pub to duck into for the evening this is the place.

Great atmosphere, very friendly and helpful! I ordered the fish n chips and it was great. Nice big pieces of fish, not to heavily battered, hot pub style fries perfectly seasoned. One piece of constructive criticism I would give is homemade tarter sauce goes a long way and you always wanna give a hearty amount of coleslaw, I only got a mouthful with mine. I would still highly recommend the fish n chips.Cheers.

Very empty at the time I went and service was super slow and terrible food to be honest. Not worth it for a social gathering. But there is a bowling area 2 mins walkingFood: nachos, french fries and wings

The Irish Shebeen phone Staff were wonderful with me as I had to inquire about the live music I look forward to visiting with them soon the only thing they didn’t do was advise not to come to closed areas

Perfect little, lively joint to get a fix of your favourite drink before or after bowling. The nachos were awesome.

Haven't experienced such a great environment and people! Would recommend 10 out of 10. The owners are great so is management! Eunice was an amazing server.
