came here for lunch; they have reasonably priced food, had friendly waitress, wasn't crowded & had a very different very delicious cheeseburger(was like a salad on top of the burger instead of normal lettuce and tomato, was amazing and unexpected). would definitely recommend visiting this place
Definitely a hopping place on a Saturday night, but go early because by the end of the night it gets so crowded it's miserable. The music/dj is usually great but the bar definitely draws a younger crowd.
Great spot ! Food is amazing. Must try the Shepard pie .
This place had pretty solid food. I got the chicken tenders, friend calamari, a pear salad and a Blue Moon and greatly enjoyed all of these. The pear salad has slightly too much dressing and they should put this on the side so that customers can choose how much they want. We had plenty of room for three at our table on the end upstairs. They had flowers and a candle lit. The menu has a lot of food and drink options! They played good music. The bathroom was so nice set up with a candle, flowers and hand lotion! The server was not the most attentive, but did his job ok. I would go back!
We had very good bar dishes for a light supper. The fish and chips were very good. Order the large size if you are hungry. The small is a snack size. The atmosphere was very good, with the music at a reasonable volume that allowed conversations to be carried on.
Great food and a cool atmosphere. Had the Phillies game on while we were eating. They also accommodate for special events.
Great meal, outstanding service, good beverage selection
Awesome flank steak, but the drink menu is overpriced and the salads are small. Good service from the wait staff.
Went on Christmas. Service was slow. Appetizers and drinks were nice but the main courses were not great. Would not go back.
We reserved the upper floor for a group event. Despite the food being ordered en masse, every plate was prepared with care and attention to quality. Every member of our party of 40 enjoyed each course. This is our go-to spot for events in Philadelphia and I don't see us changing venues any time soon.
I love the food, and this restaraunt provides an excellent atmosphere!
This place is magnificent the bouncer really makes the whole place but the staff are great as well server Megan is sweet and diligent the music mixes both holidays and everyday stuff it s truly all phenomenal. The location is clean and well maintained establishment is something that shows its worth the clean up all breaks or spills immediately and the food is authentic an to die for the manage Eric and security keep the place safe and clean for all guest safety convenience and enjoyment. Alex the security was exceptionally diligent and careful of all customers etc. Ollie was a wonderful bartender and made a wonderfully organic cocktail originally to the location and the person who made it check out Ollie if you have a chance she makes an awesome experience.
Nice food very polite staff.i enjoy the atmosphere.
Food was amazing! Great atmopshere for dinner and conversation . Then, as an added bonus , tavern changes to an upbeat music, dance, and drinking spot for an assortment of ages!
Always very friendly. Portions seemed a little less this time. Constant buzz of fruit flies around my table was a bit concerning. All in all a good place for hearty, casual fare.
The food was so-so. If you're coming here though it's probably for drinks at night, which it's usually crowded with college aged kids. If that's what you're looking for, this place is perfect!
The server, Sarah, made the dining experience wonderful, and the food and drink options were exceptional.
The Plough really has to be up there as one of the best pubs in Birmingham. I went recently for a meal on the 2-4-1 Pizza Monday and it was fantastic.
Even though it was a Monday, the place was packed so I would recommend booking if you're going for a meal - we very nearly didn't get a table. The decor in The Plough is a stylish mix of traditional and urban, and has some great feature points. There's also an outside beer garden which looked great. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even though they were clearly run off their feet.
Nice place where you can listen to a very good group of people playing Irish music. Moreover the food is very good!
Delicious Irish food and super friendly wait staff! Really enjoyed their brunch.
Great staff and beer selection. Food was excellent also. Good old city location. On a nice day you can outside, which is always a plus!
An alright place to go out in old city. Plough the stars is notorious for letting in way to many people. I wonder if the Fire Marshall got word of what goes on here what they would do. Their drinks are on the pricier side, but they do not skimp on alcohol. Their bouncers are kind of jerks but I've encountered worse. Not exactly for dancing; more of the grind that crotch on her ass kind of place.
The food was excellent. The service was enjoyable. We had quit a large group and they did very well handling it.
I rarely order red meat, and save ordering my steak when I know it s going to be a great experience. The menu looked tasty and I went for the NY Strip. I was not disappointed. Service was great and the joint was lively but not too noisy. Will come back again.
Best of the best bars in old city. Food is great. Service good. Make sure you ask for John Joe when you visit. Makes you feel at home and one amazing bartender & comic. Try the portabella fricasse and their wings.
Always a great pint. As Brendan Behain once said "when your money's gone and your horse is an also ran, a pint of plain is your only man"
Nice place, delicious food, satisfying beer selection and many more.
We were seated outside 08/18 night, where we could talk and enjoy the food and the drinks.
Very polite waitress.
Good drinks, nice snacks, three screens, two of them huge projectors, all streaming basketball games from TV. Live DJ taking requests, and room to dance among the chatters and drinkers. Saturday night t'was.
Can't wait to return after trying The Plough and the Stars for restaurant week! The filet was amazing...
Went here on a Friday night. Way too crowded for my comfort.
One the best places in Old City. Good food and fun Irish staff.
Was really blown away with the vibe, food and space.
I like this place. Just dont order anything that is too fancy, just stick to the straightforward dishes and you wont be disappointed. Bit cramped too, tables are so close together that you feel like you're eating with strangers. Prices are reasonable for center city Philadelphia and the service is fantastic, very friendly and attentive staff. Great atmosphere for a night out drinking but not so great if you want a quiet dinner.
If you want a down to earth great Irish pub experience....look no more! Great food and the Guinness is on the money!
This spot sure knows how to serve their clients. Regularly with a very kind attitude. The food is reasonably priced, regularly yummy and clean.
The food was good, the atmosphere was great, and the service was exceptional. Thanks for a wonderful night!
Love the staff, great wings, great shepards pie, best 13 dollar steak in the citt
This place is really nice. The food and service was outstanding. I'm going back for more.
Great atmosphere, great location, great drinks, phenomenal food. Still giving 5 stars even though the waitress one time was questionable...
great food, great music, great atmosphere. the irish breakfast is the best. i usually go during lunch and its rarely packed and really nice. the curry, shepards pie, salmon, and fish and chips are also amazing
A brilliant bar with great hospitality. As a girl with Scottish and Irish heritage, having a Glaswegian serve me just topped it all off. Great prices and lovely drinks!
Family friendly pub and restaurant. Great vibe, great music and great food! My wife worked here 15 years ago and upon our return everything is awesome!
First time trying breakfast here and wow! Left full and happy! Great service & staff are great!!
Lovely dining atmosphere that also features live Irish-themed music. Hosts are superb and attentive. I give 6 stars out of 5!
We came here three days in a row because everything is so dang good. Was visiting a friend that moved into the area and went for drinks... ending up going back for dinner... and then went again for brunch and let me tell you every penny spent here was well worth it. Great food, even better drinks, AMAZING staff and the BEST atmosphere! Props to management you all are doing everything right. Highly recommend!!!
Great bar, great bartenders, actually pleasant bouncers
This is a true Irish bar! Excellent food, great drink selection, lots of whiskey and bourbon, proper pouring system for Guinness. I typically go for Poor Man's Black Velvet (half Guiness and half Magners cider) and my dinner of choice is the lamb lollipops. HUGE screen tv for sporting events (even the derby, hurling, etc.). DJ on Fridays and Saturdays and every Sunday, they have a traditional Irish music session.
Amazing pub. Nice chill place during the week and party house during the wknd. Recommend
waitress was amazing. Her suggestions made enhanced the whole experience , from her suggestions to let them slightly burn the hash browns to her explanation on the different bloody marys. I would definitely recommend The Plough.
can't beat the cozy bar atmosphere with always friendly bartenders ready to pull a pint of guinness. some of the spark seems to have gone out, but dishes from the relatively uninspired menu still tasty.
This place was super cool, I really like the inside. the fireplace was on when i was there and if felt very comfortable inside.
Wonderfully warm and welcoming during the Christmas season. The fireplace kept us cozy while we enjoyed great drinks and food.
I like to go with friends to this restaurant with my highest recommendations. I go to this restaurant often. I get very good feedback from my friends. The dishes they serve are yummy and the team is welcoming and cooperative. Whenever we eat in this place we enjoy a lovely time. I recommend this place with pleasure.
The happy hour drinks are underwhelming at best but the interior decor is very open and welcoming, and vegan chef Zivkovic's meatless Monday specials were truly top notch. I'll definitely come back on a Monday evening.
Very cute Irish pub, love the beautiful fireplace and the overall wonderful atmosphere
Great Food! Great Service! Try the soup absolutely delicious
Great for liverpool match! Awesome atmosphere and food was fantastic. Plus guiness on tap!!
Ordered french fries but it took like an 1hr to get them. But it was quite busy with back to back parties so I guess it was understandable.
Cozy place to slip into on a cold night. They have a huge fireplace that's always going in winter.
Very cool and unique ambiance. Sit by the fire on a chilly day and all will be right with the world
We had a great dinner last night. (Shane?) I believe was our server and was amazing. Enjoyed the shepherd's pie, brussel sprouts, burger, and vegetable soup with some beers. Definitely recommend.
Warm, inviting atmosphere paired with a mostly-authentic brunch and dinner service. Full-disclosure: I was sold on this restaurant the second they offered the house made soda bread, but needed to write a review after trying their Irish brunch. Their bottle list is expansive and dinner offered many American and Irish bar entrees and snacks. Service was near excellent, and their projectors gave a great view of the game. Only downside was the less than stellar draft list. All and all, a great go.
A great place to slip in and catch one of the afternoon World Cup matches. Crowd/atmosphere was friendly and casual, bartender attentive, and my beer was good. Added bonus: the bread pudding was pretty baller.
I took advantage of the first beautiful spring day and had lunch outside at The Plough & the Stars. It was my first time there and I ordered a light salad (which was fabulous!) and my server recommended a perfect IPA. While I was getting ready to talk with my server, one of my iPhone AirPods flew out of my hand into the storm drain below my seat. I just chalked it up as "Oh well...first world problem! I'll order another pair from Amazon" and moved on. A little later, another employee stopped by my table with the lost AirPod in his hand! This *very kind* young man went into the basement and retrieved my AirPod from that yucky, ancient storm drain! I cannot even tell you how much that generous act of kindness made my day!!! Thanks again; I'm so grateful! I'll definitely be back to The Plough & the Stars for the yummy food/drink and excellent service! :)
Had a wonderful evening with my friend and her adorable dog. Staff was so friendly and made some excellent recommendations. Food was delicious. Sorry that we weren't there for their love jazz nights, but that is an incentive to return soon.
Contemporary Irish cuisine in a turn of the century bank building.
