Went here with some coworkers for dinner and drinks. Decent beer and whiskey selection. Food was so-so but reasonably priced. I had the bangers and mash - it was okay.
The service was really bad, however. Our waitress almost never came by and we had to get up to ask her for more drinks throughout dinner. She repeatedly told us "I have other customers, I don't have time." When we finally got the check from her, we asked to pay with a couple of cards. We offered to write the amounts on the receipt for each card, and she sighed loudly and again said she didn't have "time for this."
The next day one of my coworkers found out that she had erroneously charged the entire meal to my  coworker's card. She called to get it fixed.
We won't be going back.
My husband and I have had breakfast in the Corrib several times and found it to be great. Â I am vegetarian and they have always accommodated me with fried eggs, mushrooms, irish beans and toast. Â . Â Instead of dinner tonight we decided to head for the Corrib again for our 'fry-up'. Â My husband ordered the irish breakfast and it came as expected. Â I asked the waitress for a veggie breakfast and told her what I usually get. Â To my total amazement I was served two fried eggs, Irish beans, toast AND brocolli, squash, sliced tomato, green beans and refried beans ! Â
Sorry The Corrib, you have lost us.
I really wanted to like this place, as it has the look and feel of an Irish pub from the outside and even if you peer in the window at the bar. But, beyond the bar, Corrib Pub is definitely not worth a visit.
It was a last-minute dinner decision to come to Corrib, as it's a stone's throw from our apartment. We walked into the dining area and there was hostess. I peered around and saw one table of patrons, one of whom told us we had to walk down the hall and find a hostess to seat us. After a minute or so, we found her and were brought to a booth.
Our waitress was very friendly, but not good at her job, honestly. She gave us our appetizers very quickly... and our salads less than a minute later... and our entree's less than 5 minutes after that. Our table was full of dishes and silverware and was a complete mess, so much so that we had to move our condiments to the seat next to my boyfriend just to free up a little space.
The food itself was very, very gross. I got a fish dish and it was so bland I couldn't have more than a bite or two, surrendering to the fact that my dinner would simply consist of our bad mozzarella sticks appetizer, my small starter salad, and my mashed potatoes side dish.
Overall, this experience was barely worth a two-star review, so we will continue to choose Brighton Beer Garden over the Corrib Pub.
