First, let me start off by saying everything started off ok. My wife and I stopped by for a quick bite to eat as the patio was almost empty and we figured we could eat and continue on with our evening. We were seated and our order was taken in a somewhat timely manner. Food and drinks were delivered and this is where thing started to take a sharp nosedive. My wife ordered chicken fingers and fries, I opted for a turkey club. Again, thought process was on a quick bite to eat. My food wasn’t bad, my wife’s however was an entirely different story. Her bottled beer was warm and the chicken fingers were soggy. While we were eating, I can only guess that “friends” of the manager or owner showed up and two tables were pushed together directly across from our table. Ok, no big deal here, I have seen big groups numerous times and they have never disrupted my dinner or the service that I received, however, that was not to be the case this time. We sat and watched as the owner/manager, our waitress, as well as another waitress or customer host, brought bottle after bottle of wine to the groups table and catered to their every whim. The group had a dog with them and were given a “take out box” which they then used as a water bowl for the dog in the restaurant, as well as used water from the guests water pitcher to fill the make-shift bowl. Now if this would have been a proper service animal, that would be one thing, but as the dog would wander around greeting people, ourselves included, this definitely was not a properly trained service animal. The waitress, finally noticing that we were done eating, came and asked if we were done (which we had been at this point for a good 15 minutes) and proceeded to take our plates. Now at this point, one would expect the waitress to come back with your check, but, nope. The owner/manager, the waitress, and the customer host continued to cater to the group sitting across from us. Numerous times the owner/manager made eye contact with me sitting there at the table, no food, no drinks, but never came to question why we were sitting at a table in the establishment without food or drinks. Exactly 34 minutes after our waitress had taken our plates, I was finally able to get her attention to get my check. When the waitress came back, she said “I’m sorry, it’s a bit hectic tonight”. Had the patio and bar been full, I could have easily bought into the theory of hectic, but considering the patio was only half full, it was far from hectic, they were just too busy catering to the family/friends group than they were with efficiently running their business. In my 51+ years of life, this is the absolute worst service I have ever experienced and this is the first time I have every left a bad review for any business.
Awesome experience was a little bit salty at the beginning cuz we had to move for karaoke but once we were settled in again... they kicked it and it ended up being an amazing time.. Food Was Amazing and the drinks were Cold..
Stopped at this pub for dinner while on vacation in Fort Lauderdale. Ask for a bottle of Prosecco and they only served it by the glass. We ordered two glasses of Prosecco which was Shirley cheap champagne and they charge $12 a glass. The fish and chips was Soso. The french fries were not crispy. The bangers and mash had instant mashed potatoes. When I asked to speak with a manager the server told me there was a private party and could not be bothered. I would not recommend this pub for dinner.
We drove past Mc Sorley's and had to give it a try. I have wanted to try bangers and mash for a long time and I got the chance. I was thinking about the chicken pot pie as comfort food, we had just gotten off the plane a few hours ago and I hadn’t eaten in over 20 hrs. Well I got to eat a new dish that was comforting! The bangers (sausage) were good the mashed potatoes were good the gravy was also good, but put them together and it was great! My wife had a salad there were a few brown pieces of lettuce, she was picking them out when the waitress noticed she brought out a new salad. Throughout our meal we had excellent service, the view was also wonderful. We will defiantly return to Mc Sorley's if we come back to Fort Lauderdale.
Have been here four different times as a new local in FTL hoping the service might get better. The bar staff is very slow and if you sit at a table you need to be in and out quickly (so don’t expect to stay to watch a game). The waitress we had during our last visit removed our plates before we were done eating and when we told her we were not finished she said they needed to sit the next guests.
If you’re looking for a great atmosphere with amazing food, service, and entertainment in Fort Lauderdale then this is your place. I stopped there on my first day of vacation and went back almost every day after that. They treat their guests like they’ve known them for years. Dave and Cassie are my two favorite bartenders there, I never had to wait long on a menu or a drink. I also have to mention the entertainment, DJ Joy Joy is among the best I’ve heard, always taking requests and keeping the place hopping. I went to several other places but they don’t even compare. If you’re ever in Fort Lauderdale, I highly recommend going to McSorley’s Beach Pub, you won’t be disappointed.
If you want to get drinks only it's very nice! But food... Hmmm they don't have burgers! They have non beef burgers though. If you're a fan of old fashioned good pub beef burgers then you are out of luck!
I watched the NCAA final on its Atlantic-facing deck. Very pleasant waitstaff. The menu is classic Irish pub fare; I had the shepherd's pie.
We stumbled about this awesome Irish pub for Karaoke night. So much fun! Great staff, excellent service, good drinks. Ask for Seamus.
Watch when you order your drinks at the bar. This woman standing by me asked me to buy her a drink. I said no but at the end of the night the bartender slapped not 1 but 4 more drinks on my check than I ever actually consumed.When I told them that I would only pay for what I drank the bartender and the server got very confrontational and refused to amend my bill. I told them that I would call my card company and ask them to contest the charge.They told me to never go back there but regardless, there was no way I would ever set foot in that place again.
