i spent my senior year crying about my thesis in the library and then dragging my ass here to smoke and drink my tears away. did i say you could smoke in here? because you can. and it's probably the best thing about erin's, because you can smoke a pack of cigarettes and order a lotta woo woo shots and nobody will look at you like you're outta line.
it's still a meat market and there's something hilarious about watching about three dozen carbon copy villanova students trying to have sex with each other. thursday and friday nights might as well be college night because it's overflowing with frat guys flirting really badly with a lot of tan jersey exports who are being protected by a defensive ring of their similarly-tanned friends. if you come on the weeknights, it's usually a weird mix of sad businessmen and working class locals who are tryna hit on college girls (and failing even harder than the nova bros). basically, if you are an attractive person who is not a dickwad, you might want to avoid this place because you will be creepily and aggressively hit on and it won't be pretty. but if you're an ugly queer like me, power to ya! you will be left alone at the bar and you can chainsmoke and talk to the guy next to you about how he's underperforming at cunninglingus.
Decent little bar that has great specials every night of the week. We went on a Saturday and they had $5 bombs until midnight which is a good deal considering we went irish car bombs. Solid place to go to beat the Kelly's crowd a block away but don't expect anything crazy. Also: very smokey.
Review Source:It's been almost 10 years since I graduated and when I went back to this old dive, I felt like I had never left. Â They now have a wall-mounted juke box. Â Other than that, it's still a filthy, sticky, crowded hole-in-the-wall paradise. Â My favorite mug to drink out of at home is the 32oz. Erin Pub mug that held many a cheap draft beer back in the glory days. Â (a lone tear slowly drifts down my cheek)
Review Source:Seriously, this place never changes. Â It's stuck in some sort of time warp. Â And that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Pretty much every review is right, even the lone one star review (where the reviewer apparently didn't read anything else or realize she was going to the dive-est dive on the Main Line).
Words cannot describe the grunge here. Â This place had such a bad smell I had to leave almost immediately. Â
I would liken this bar to something you would probably find in a half abandoned strip mall in the middle of rural ohio. Â Seedy, dark, probably dead mice and mold growing along the crevices of the floor from never being mopped. I doubt the taps have ever been cleaned - just think of what you might be digesting without knowing. Â This would be a perfect project for restaurant impossible. Â Do you get the picture?
0 stars. Â Department of health nightmare - they should go in and shut this place down immediately.
If you're in the mood for simple drinkin', shots and beers you've come to the right place. Â Don't get me wrong, they might be able to make you a Mint Julep, but would probably have to take out the drink-opedia. Â I like this place for its simple, unassuming atmosphere, it's non-pretentious patrons and down to earth feel. Â A welcome bastion of reality in the mainline bar scene.
Review Source:Hey Steph H.! Whenever I'm visiting my friends up in Bryn Mawr and we finds ourselves needing a bar to go to this is the destination to hit.
Erin Pub is a laid back and unpretentious bar with colorful locals. It falls just a little over being a dive bar, but it still manages to offer the deals like $2 well drinks. My favorite thing about it though is that it's the perfect spot to play some darts. and they even toss in fun things like photo hunt. Overall it's a bar so good that I wish I could take it to Philly with me. But it's just the excuse needed to roll suburban style.
"wohoo! as good as it gets!" is my vote for the erin pub. I love this place and I can't even begin to explain why. Ok, well it's a bit like cheers I guess, everytime I go here there is someone who knows my name. I love the dive bar neighborhood feel. Like cat says, $3 mugs can't be beat and the $.50 phillies franks hit the spot. The bartenders are awesome *brendan and mike* are the nicest guys you'll ever meet. I hear tuesdays are a good night :)
Review Source:all i can say is: "erin pub, will you marry me?"
from the first night i stumbled in and out with my knee immobilizer senior year, to my last night when i apparently groped a fellow pub goer... erin pub (and the awesome bartenders: steven, bob, brendan, and uhh.. mike kelly) welcomed me with open arms and a 22oz mug of beer.
you can rely on the people, tuesday quizzo, and cheap drinks to always be there sans the judging and the pretension you get from some other bars on the main line. the erin pub is a college student's sanctuary. Â be warned though: once you enter the erin pub, you'll never smell the same.
OH THE ERIN PUB.
The site of my senior year of college's most flagrant fouls, freaks and fuckups.
$3 mug nights! $2 well drinks! 50 cent hot dogs on the crock pot cooker! Â smoking inside! broken darts that you can never find because someone misplaced them! anti-villanova scribbles in the girls' bathroom! and best of all, naked photo hunt!
the bartenders and regulars here are cool as hell. Â sometimes sketchy, sometimes empty, always drunk and entertaining, the erin pub is the place to black out the nights away.
