History

Established in 2007.

Since the business sits just feet from the North Jersey Coast Line at Manasquan Station, a train theme seemed to be appropriate. It was aptly named The Irish Rail, whose namesake is the National provider of rail service in Ireland, after the original owners returned from a vacation that left them in awe of Ireland.

The interior features many photographs of this trip, including classic shots of the Guinness brewery and Jameson Distillery, and many scenic views of this beautiful country. And while we strive to be true to our roots, we have added a decidedly American twist to the menu, theme, and décor to cater to a broader audience.

Our latest incarnation includes the best of both worlds. Picture yourself enjoying the best Guinness Beef Stew you have ever had, with an ice cold Craft beer from the state of Oregon, all while watching live NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB or even Soccer on one of the 6 flat screen HDTV’s. That is the new and improved Irish Rail.

I come here whenever I am down in Manasquan doing a show. The service is fast and friendly, they have a great selection for being a small place and the food is excellent. Try the Cobb Salad or the Station Wrap for balsamic greatness or any of their burgers! Finally, can I just say: Jack & Coke slushies. Done.

Quaint little place at the train station. We stopped in for breakfast. Portions were pretty large, and if you like cheese, the skillet is loaded with it. They have a few taps and a fridge with some micro beers. The bar tender was nice and friendly.

A nice little pub restaurant in/​at the train station. It was a small bar area with seats at the bar and a standing area as well. The seating area is also small with 4 or 5 booths, and 5 smaller tables. The atmosphere is cozy, authentic and nice.
I was there on a Sunday, and the place was fairly busy. As a matter of fact I’m pretty sure it was restaurant week. There was one waitress, and the bartender handling everything… Service was slower than I would have liked, and we ended up waiting for bill 10 minutes longer than we should have. We also had to have her bill corrected, which they were happy to do. The staff was trying the best, but they needed someone else on shift.
The food was good, and the highlight was the seared tuna appetizer, which had this very good spicy green sauce with it. I could’ve eaten two more orders of it.
I also got a burger cooked medium, and it was well-​prepared, but the bun seems like it was right out of a supermarket package and not really a good match for a quality burger. However, I’d rather have a good burger with a mediocre bun, than the other way around!
They also had a fairly good beer selection.

Had an awesome restaurant week dinner… the southwestern spring rolls were to die for… we both had the steak and they were done to perfection. Took the dessert home after having a bite apiece. All in all a really fabulous dinner

In the area for a bit, of course local restaurants are on the menu. We popped in about 530, the lot was full, the bar wasn’t. Train parking cheaters? That’s another review. Grabbed a bar seat, a lovely staff member waited on us. Nice girl. We did the pretzel sticks, good, and a couple oy yuengs. Not sure she was aware of that colloquialism, no matter. The issue that needs to be noted is that it’s an Irish bar, no Guinness! No black frothy irish bier. What’s with thst? They were out of bud and miller lite too… some customers were like whuuut. no bud? Who’s the bar manager? Any way the burger was good, my mates quesadilla was good. We I’ll be back for a Guinness, hopefully they pour it correctly, rest my Guinness please.

The service was friendly and professional. The food was overpriced but good. Nothing crazy or exceptional.

Went there last night got the Ruben and my boyfriend got the American Burger — we both shared the Nachos (with tortilla chips not sweet potato fries) and the crock of chili.
My Ruben wasn’t bad — not the best but not the worst it was average. His burger was delicious had huge fresh chunks of red onion and it was cooked to perfection. Both served with steak fries which were good for steak fries.
The chili tasted like Dinty Moore in a can off the food store shelf. Wouldn’t recommend.
The nachos were very good however it didn’t come with guac as it said on the menu but that’s fine and I didn’t ask for it so that’s partially my fault. We actually got it with steak and the streak was great on the nachos, lots of cheese and goodies for sure. Very filling for two!
The waitress was a one woman show doubling as the bar tender she is my hero actually. She was super attentive for being the only wait staff. I couldn’t believe she was the only person there but man she really ran around taking care of everyone with a smile on her face. Hopefully the weekend when it gets busier she has some help especially behind the bar.

Made a reservation here for Jersey Shore Restaurant Week. Started with the Cajun Tuna Bites and the Tomato and Mozzarella salad. The tuna bites were a fisherman’s dream! Seared perfectly on the outside and pink on the inside. The Cajun seasoning was spicy but not over powering. The side of wasabi aioli was delicious but not needed. The tomato salad was a delightful dish of multi colored tomatoes and mozzarella balls drizzled in a balsamic dressing. Both were delicious and plenty!
We ordered Fish and Chips with «homemade chips». Fish was fresh, and battered up crunchy but flaky on the inside just like they do across the pond. Yeah, THAT good!
No room for dessert so brought them home to devour later.
Can’t wait to go back — this is probably the best meal under $ 21.00 I’ve ever had. Erin Go Bragh!

Solid selection! Atmosphere is nice, not too bright, great spot to relax with some friends, grab a beer and some bar food. Their wings are spot on, and they will either grill or fry them. Solid. Price-​wise I think they are spot on. Nice addition to Manasquan!

Perfect location, right off the train in Manasquan so you can pop in for a quick drink. The food is not bad either but the beer is always cold.
