This is the worst bar in York, over serving is a regular occurrence, the bar tenders and staff play favourites and protect the regulars, they let them get away with assault and battery. Ex cops are regulars and looks it other way,

Great little Irish pub, just outside of downtown, with a traditional pub feel. The only take aways we the rickety stairs to the basement, where the washrooms are located, and the group of regulars who decided to talk about me from coming in in a suit and assuming I was "rich" and out of place (I came from a university grad ceremony). That said, the service was fast and friendly, even with only one server/bartender. Definitely will be back to try the food.

Literally my favourite go-to pub. Friendly atmosphere, very cosy, amazing beer, and nice people. Their karaoke night is worth visiting. I love the staff and the owner, they're literally so cool and the best ever 🤌❤️ 10/10 would recommend visiting.

Great place to have a drink with friends. The live band was cool & had a great following. The food has it's ups and downs. One weekend the fries were perfect & another weekend everything seemed overcooked. I think either overwhelmed with orders Would still go back. Just for the atmosphere

I found this lovely pub by accident! I was thirsty after dinner and wanted a drink. Since Covid many of the establishments have closed or relocated. The Irish Rose Pub had great reviews so I made the trek from Vaughn ON to investigate. The pub was welcoming with a great selection of beers and spirits. The kitchen was operational (no meals ordered) and the section for dart 🎯 throwing and competition was lively and festive! There digital jukebox was playing a great selection of music and can be accessed via a mobile app on your phone or from touch. Get over to The Irish 🌹and enjoy a pint of Guinness and a proper shot of Jamison! Don’t forget to tip the staff. They are top notch!

So, this was sort of a surprise to everyone. Me, because I had wanted to add this to my Summer Irish Pub Eponymous Burger Murdercycle Tour, and the owners did not expect someone to order food right at 3pm open on Canada Day. This didnt get added to my tour for several reasons - not being on the Murdercycle being the least of them. However, the staff, shaking off their initial shock, rallied admirably! No Eponymous Burger, no Murphys on draught - but a Harp and a tell me what you want, Ill make it later, and Im quite satisfied! Nothing like being the first diner of the day - burger was excellent, obviously home made and cared about. Bacon was thick and just a slight char on the fat to show it had been cooked properly - hot and fast with attention. Fries are thin cut skin on, with delightful crispy bits. Gravy was Pub Standard, but good enough for disco. All in all at first blush, Id love to have this place as my local. Easy parking on Weston off hours, not sure how busy it would get. Atmosphere is a 3 star because Im here at the wrong time of day. But its my favourite sort of small bar. My sole ew was the smell of dirty astray when I walked in. However - I got there literally 10 mins after they opened. Staff cleaned this up fairly quickly as they were opening, and I mention this more as a theyre paying attention than a complaint. Good stuff. Ima visit again.

The good. This place as cold beer . The food has gotten much better since the new menu showed up about a year ago. The gentleman running the bar was cool and let me bring my dog into the back outdoor patio a few times. If I could give it one negative comment. The last time I was there I asked for fish and chips and they didnt have any. I didnt notice till I got home. But I was accidentally charged for it . Im sure it was a mistake and it was my fault for not properly checking the bill before paying. Otherwise this place is honestly great.

Great service, OK food. The fish and chips is great. Shepherds pie was a bit bland. The kids burger was a tiny slider. We were given a complementary slider as we were not happy with the size. Kids chicken fingers was of decent size but a bit too spicy for our kid.
