Good pub on the landing. Good burger and a pint of Guiness. Free parking can be found two blocks away beside the Hilton.

We ate here on Saturday night during Memorial Day weekend and loved it! My husband ordered the whisky steak and I got the Wicklow chicken. We were both really happy with our meals. The garlic sauce on my chicken was amazing! The kids all got chicken tenders(typical). They were ok, but the batter on the tenders was pretty bland and tasteless. I got a gin and tonic in a tall glass and it was only $ 3.79! It was a good drink, too. Service was kind of hit or miss. Our waitress was everywhere, and there were a few waiters who were sort of helping. I would suggest that the owners nix the short-shorts for the waitresses. It’s so tacky and dated, not to mention stupid and sexist. It just seemed weird that the females were in short shorts and the guys were in long cargo shorts or pants. I wasn’t offended by it, or trying to make it a big«thing», it was just weird.

Food was in the range of bad to mediocre and half of it was cold. The beers on the menu weren’t «accurate.» Took forever to get our drinks and food ordered. According to our waitress one of my friends couldn’t substitute chips for fries because the manager said that’s not how they serve Reubens in Ireland even though they don’t actually have Reubens in Ireland. It’s an American sandwich. They were out of steak for the steak salad but not for the steak entre so clearly they use frozen food and don’t make anything fresh. Pretty much the whole time we were there, there was an annoying karaōke dj blasting his music way too loud while people were just trying to eat at 7 pm. You can tell some people who worked there cared, but those people didn’t include our waitress or whoever prepared our food.

Best Irish Pub in MO. Can’t go wrong with Corned Beef and Cabbage. Great craft beer selection. Perfect place to relax or go out with friends for a good time. Staff are amazing. You definitively feel like you’ve stepped out of the South coming here. 10⁄10 would definitely go back.

The restaurant was in the middle of renovations when I came to visit, but I was treated very well. It was quite interesting listening to Queen’s «Radio Ga Ga» played by bagpipes while eating the Irish Breakfast. I left so full and satisified. The blood pudding was very good, too. I highly recommend this place for a great atmosphere and great service.

The scotch eggs and curry and chips were good. After that great start I expected out main course to be great. I was left wanting. Steak salad was over cooked and flavorless and the fish and chips were soggy. I had high hopes for this place, they just missed the mark.

The interior is fun old pub with lots of booth seating. We had kids in tow so we opted for the patio. At the right time of night the patio offers a good view of the water show also good spot to people watch. The kids meals we disappointing in quality. The Mac and cheese was Kraft tho the large pickle spear was appreciated. They offer a drink and PBJ, chicken tenders, Mac, or grilled cheese and a simple side. $ 5.99. I ordered the fish sandwich. It was fantastic! Wonderful white cod slab on a bun with a side. Will return

One of my favorites to come to when in Branson & on the landing. Good bar food, friendly staff, and laid back atmosphere. I love all things Irish!

Scotch eggs were crispy, but not at all seasoned, very bland. We had to eat them with the honey mustard to get some flavor. The burger was just okay. Our server was very good, though, so it wasn’t all mediocre.

Went there last night for a couple beers. Great atmosphere and awesome service! Wish we would have eaten there as well, heard they have good food.

Our first experience at this mid-sized Irish Pub on the Branson Landing Town Square was an off season fairly quiet evening. It was a warm and comfortable place to play touch screen bar top games that we enjoy and have a couple of drinks. We enjoyed the service and drinks but had already eaten. We tried to go back on New Year’s Eve, but couldn’t even get in the door. That evening just trying to step inside the whole place was very smokey(cigarette smoke). That was not something we noticed during our first visit, but it made us run away quickly that evening. Keep in mind it was New Year’s Eve, though.

My husband and I went here on a kid free night and when I first walked in I was u sure of how much I would like it. The first server that came up to us never came back and someone else ended up serving us but from that point on it was great! The beer was great and the live music was fun! I had a Boulevard chocolate ale and I would return just for more of that! We ordered the mushrooms and they weren’t that good but we also got the Ruben and it was good! We had a fun night and the drinks/service were great!

Oh, this place was pretty bad, sadly. The hubby and I did a little tour of Missouri for our anniversary and stayed in Branson for two nights. We got in pretty late on Sunday and needed to grab some food and drinks. We walked across from our hotel and stopped here. The first thing I notice was the stinky smell. The floors look pretty old and unfinished… I’m guessing that’s where the smell is coming from. We sat at a table and our very friendly server stopped to greet us. We ordered a couple drinks and they were fine. I got Irish stew and a Caesar salad. The hubby got shepherds pie. My Irish stew was pretty good. However I think they thought I ordered shredded Parmesan cheese salad because my salad was filled, I mean filled with Parmesan cheese and it made it difficult to eat, I kept wiping off the Parmesan to try and get to the salad… and I love parm. See my photo, I felt like I ate a pound of Parmesan cheese and there was still that much Parmesan left after I finished the salad. Now onto the Shepherds pie. I’m pretty sure it had taco meat in it. There was definite cumin seasoning going on in the meat and it was not covered in mashed potatoes… I don’t know what that was. It was really bad. We left and had drinks in the hotel bar. I would not return here. But good service!

My husband and I dropped in for a few drinks on Black Friday. Éire & Brimstone was going to take the stage. We started off with a Jack/Coke and a Cape Cod. Our server was very attentive. I tried an Irish Summer. Very refreshing. But the Irish Gangster was my favorite. DELISH. The service was top notch. The band was amazing. The prices were fair for the drink size, quality, and liquor amount. There is something for everyone on the menu. The food going out to the tables smelled and looked awesome. We have a condo there at Table Rock and we are in Branson several times a year, and this will be a for sure stop every time we go now. We should have gone MUCH sooner. LOVEDIT!!!

I was in branson for a weekend and coworker recommended this place. I can say this was the best place i ate at while being there. My girlfriend had the burger and i had the fish and chips(i know, adventurous right). Both were pretty good. The cod was very crispy but it always seem to be bland with me. Overall its a good place and i will be back to try new stuff next time.

The food was great! I had the cabbage eggrolls and pork chops yum! What I like the most we had a little one so we sat in the way back and no one forgot about us. We really appreciate the service! Of course we tried the sinful bailey ice cream cake! Need I say more?

My boyfriend and I were only staying in Branson for a few days and everyone we knew told us to check out The Landing. We couldn’t decide what to eat and looked up Waxy O’Shea’s since we saw it on the way in to find parking. We both ordered drinks and food and they were all delicious! All of the restaurants on the Landing seemed to be a bit higher priced, but I really liked this place cause the food was worth it! I know my boyfriend was happy cause they had a really good beer on tap that he wanted to try and he loved it!

When the wineries closed earlier than expected, I wanted a fun, Irish bar… and that’s exactly what we got here. We were surprised at the selection of beers and had a few good ones. The scotch eggs were awesome, I could’ve ate another plate, but I restrained. Bartender Kevin was funny and we had a great time talking with him and the locals. Only regret was that we should’ve stayed longer!

Wow! I was pleasantly surprised! Ive walked by on many occassions but decided to stop in today. Service was by far superior to anything I have received on the landing, the young man gladly answered all my questions and made plenty of suggestions(most of which I took) even though he had(by my count) 8 tables at the time. The Scotch eggs were fantastic, very simple and traditional, but nonetheless excellent. And I also had the corned beef Boxty which absolutely blew me away. The only thing that did not completely surpass my expectations was my Guiness… it did not seem to have been poured properly. But that is a common mistake which I do not hold against most establishments. I will most definitely be back to sample more of their fantastic menu!
