Shay McElroy's Irish Pub

Friendly neighborhood bar. Service is always excellent. Great selection of whiskeys.

Super fast and efficient service!! The lemon drops were the best ones we had all night!

Curry Searle

Traditional Irish pub. Friendly service staff. Quiet and low key enough to easily have conversation over drinks.

Charly Siaba

One of the few bar in town with good cigars, the only one in downtown area 🙌

Raquel Cervantes

Drinks on point every damn time. Love this spot.

Came in from out of town on a Tuesday and this pub was incredible. First of all the bartender was incredible you could tell she loved her job and was extremely helpful, and she poured a good drink! They had karaoke which was fun. Just overall great experience.

One of the best Irish bars in Houston! Casual ambiance, cool vibe, karoke night on Tuesdays and lots of patio space.

A hidden gem in Downtown Houston. The perfect, casual Irish pub right on Main St. Irish Coffee is amazing and the patio has a great view.

We came into to have a drink. The place is amazing. Music is not over loud. Nice and clean. Staff are professional and friendly! We might of found a new place to come have a night out. The food is amazing!!! The lighting is perfect for a date night.

Best Irish bar in Houston! Also only place in city limit that sells and allows cigar smoking on premisis..

Pretty good selection, pretty good service( I only drink beer not whiskey) for being in a central business district corporate downtown of a major metro city they are very quite reasonable with their pricing( could be a whole heck of a lot worse compared to other major cities if you are Jetsetting around the country on business airplane flights.) If you are just are a regular blue collar working class person do not be afraid to come to the downtown central business district because it is supposedly way too expensive.....this place is quite reasonable as anywhere out in the suburbs or in a small rural town....not near as expensive as other major metro city areas in other regions. Awesome

Typical Irish style pub/bar. Good service and drinks. No issues

The Thumbs Critic

👍 The bar is located on Main Street, in the heart of Downtown. 🤜 There's no parking, but this is Downtown, so that should be expected already. 👍 They have a lot of beers on tap and a full bar. 👍 The bar is well decorated and has a nice seating area. 🤜 The homeless can be a problem if sitting outside. 👍 Every time I come here, the staff has been polite.

Had some time to kill in Houston, found this place by googling "Irish Pub". The atmosphere is decent- nice looking, standard Irish pub, but the bartender was very off-putting. She was very condescending and clearly thought we didn't notice. She made a few references to our age- my wife and I are over 50- and thought she was being clever. Not appreciated. It would also be nice if a "pub" actually offered food- all you can get here is frozen pizza, not really traditional Irish fare. I doubt I'd ever come back.

Recorded video of barback cleaning with loud vacuum hose at 1030, place closes at 2am. I asked the person could they stop because it's interruption to the jukebox, and not many folks was there. I have never been to a place with such disregard for customer service.

Went here the Monday after the Texans / 49ers game. My tab in total came out too $41 By the time I got home to Las Vegas and checked my weekend expenses that $41 was magically turned into $91. BEWARE!

Food kinda sucks, the beer was okay. Decent prices. Dirty tables though. Even when I asked for mines to be cleaned they just used some wet stank rag that left a mildew odor.

Thanks the rude lady bar tender for this one. Lady walked up coming into work while I'm sitting on patio area outside next to Chipotle and said how are you doing are you going to buy something ? I'm sorry you have to leave in same sentence then came back out with a customer cursing acting like drunk college kids. Terrible bartender. A pretty unattractive lady with black hair ..lol. smh. I have a recording of some of the interaction
