Foley’s Irish Pub

This review is based on a carry-​out order, so is for the food only. Foley’s menu is a good, rounded out selection of typical bar/​pub fare: wings, burgers, sandwiches of all sorts & various appetizers.
My husband & I were in the mood for burgers & I was happy to see they even offered pretzel buns, my favorite, for an upcharge. Burgers come in a quarter and half pound, with a variety of cheese options, but just two add ons, mushrooms and/​or bacon. I got a bleu cheese mushroom burger on the pretzel bun & was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Meaty, thick, but the chopped up mushroom topping was a bit skimpy. It came with chips. My husband was also very impressed with his mushroom burger. We each got the half pound and were able to save half for lunch the next day it was so big.
For apps, we ordered the potato skins and meant to upgrade from chips to onion rings for my burger side, but wound up with the app size of onion rings somehow. They were fantastic and tasted beer-​battered. My husband, who doesn’t even like onions, enjoyed them. The potato skins didn’t have a lot of flavor and could have used some more cheese, but were OK when I added more seasoning (and cheese) at home, so I might not order them if eating them at the restaurant proper. We would definately get burgers here again & try some other things on the menu.

Stopped in today with a party of 8 for a light lunch. The food was horrible and overpriced and the service was ridiculous. After 15 – 20 minutes…2 meals came out. Then 15 minutes later 2 more meals came out. 30 minutes later 3 meals came out. Finally as we were getting ready to leave which was over an hour after we arrived… I he final meal came out. As we had appointments for bridal dresses in the area… I he his totally screwed up the day. Don’t waste your time or money.

Went there for drinks. Place reeked of sewer gas. This is the 2^nd time that I have been there & it has smelled. Can’t believe they serve food here.
Not going back

Overall very good. Typical pub grub with a homey atmosphere. Decent selection Of beers as well. Worth trying out.

My friend and I stopped in here a few times during a day of wedding dress shopping nearby. This is a cool low-​key place with good bar food (we both had the grilled cheese and fried pickles). Our bartender was super sweet and great at making drinks which of course matters! If I were ever in the area at lunch time again I would definitely stop back by.

I love the service at Foley’s! So nice and very welcoming! Visit there on a weekly basis! Bartenders and servers are great and very efficient. Definitely recommend Foley’s to my friends.

Stumbled upon it. Friendly staff. Average wait time for service. Good bar food (chicken buffalo wrap). Went on trivia night which was an added bonus.

There are not a ton of options for lunch if you are spending some of your day in the Reading Bridal District, so Foley’s does the trick. It’s a pretty big space, standard pub and pub fare (sandwiches, chicken tenders, etc), space could probably use some updates. The prices are fine, nothing will blow you away, but I have no complaints. Food service was fast. I wouldn’t go out of my way to get here but I’m glad Foley’s was open because my group was very hungry!

The chef, Gary, is awesome! Everyone loved their food and really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere. We always look forward to our visits to Foley’s.

Went here for lunch with a group of 7 since we were shopping for wedding dresses for my friend. They were super overwhelmed with the crowd but they are almost the only restaurant in the bridal district so I don’t know what they expect. The server was very put out when I asked what her tap beers were. She said and I quote «listen because I am going to talk fast»… When we got out food they didn’t have enough forks or knives for everyone. Multiple tables didn’t have forks. Some of our chicken was not cooked all the way. To sum it up only come here if you want a beer. Good luck on the food and service

Great food and excellent customer service. Vame here after work and its a relaxing environment. Id recommend and come bavk next time I’m in town.

Went here last weekend for the first time with friends. Drink prices were very reasonable and beer selection was fair. My wife and I each had several drinks for less than $ 20. The only thing that would make it better would be a pool table.

Recently I had the opportunity to check out Foley’s in Reading upon the recommendation of a friend. I always look forward to checking out new places, especially locally owned and operated businesses instead of corporate chain deals.
The location itself is right in the heart of Reading’s Bridal District. Foley’s, from what I was told used to be a bank back in the day. We went on a Saturday night around dinnertime so there was a steady stream of customers. I was satisfied with my visit.
I got the chicken tenders and fries, which was enough to fill me up. Their portions here are huge! I filled up and left satisfied for less than $ 10! Not bad!
I definitely recommend this place if you are in the Reading/​Sharonville area!

A week ago I had a rare lunch time excursion out for lunch. It was my brother-in-law’s birthday and he wanted to go to one of his favorite restaurants, Foley’s Irish Pub in Reading. It is located in the heart of the Reading Bridal District, something I had no idea existed until my visit to Foley’s. The area was a nice surprise that I may have to explore more in the future.
Foley’s looks like one of those bar and grills that has occupied the same building for many years. I have no idea if that is true or not, but it does look like it closed briefly in 2009 for a renovation and with new owners. The inside of the pub is decorated with loads of sports memorabilia and feels like a great neighborhood bar and grill with friendly staff and typical bar food offerings.
We started with an order of Mile High Nachos ($ 8.25), that was more than enough for our table of ten. I ordered Foley’s Club with the included side of chips ($ 7.99). Fries and onion rings are available for an additional charge. The club was piled high with thick cuts of turkey and ham along with both American and Swiss cheese, bacon, lettuce, and tomato. Mayonnaise came on the side, which is nice for the health conscious. The double-​decker sandwich was tasty and filling.
Others in the group seemed to enjoy the massive cod sandwiches, burgers, various wraps, and wings. Fairly standard bar food is offered at Foley’s Irish Pub and not what you may expect at a more typical Irish pub, however everything that I sampled was good. Just don’t expect to find any bangers or corned beef.

We visit regularly, for early dinner, or on a rainy days, and usually close the place down, great place

Stopped in before some shopping yesterday. my friend and I both ordered the fried shrimp special. It was way overcooked and the cole slaw that came with it was old. It had a bad taste like it was spoiled. Not impressed.

We had dinner here one night. The service was a bit slow. they had two people working the floor and it was a bit busy. Food wasn’t bad. If we go back again it won’t be on a Friday night. I will give it another shot though.

I had lunch here after bridal shopping. I can’t say the food is spectacular but it’s a fine place to go if you’re in the neighborhood and famished and/​or ready for a beer.

A friendly and casual neighborhood bar with a decent beer selection and some delish food options.
Stop by if you’re in the bridal district!
