Ned Devine’s Irish Pub and Restaurant

Visited with a small group during happy hour on a Wednesday. Fairly full but a few tables open. Standard Americanized Irish pub appearance with a good amount of tables and bar seating. Can’t speak about the bar service but table service was attentive and friendly. Draft selection is mostly macro and Sam Adams along with 10 or so local and regional craft offerings. Wasn’t expecting to see DC Brau on the list so that was nice. Bottle selection was all macro. Food is mostly Irish/American style pub food with some twists, my group shared happy hour snacks and appetizers which were tasty enough for chatting and drinking during happy hour. Didn’t try any entrees but they sounded pretty good. Okay for a place tick or an outing with friends but not really a beer destination for the craft beer drinker. Not a terrible choice with the limited amount of places with craft beer in the area.

Ned’s is the neighborhood pub that attracts both the after work crowd and area residents. They have a couple of craft beers on tap, but it isn’t their focus. They have events almost every night from karaoke, live music, or trivia. They have some decent drink specials for happy hour. On the restaurant side, they make solid pub food mostly traditional Irish & Australian favorites. My only real negative is they aren’t very good at handling big groups as service (and the kitchen) tend to be slow.
