Peggy O’ Neill’s Irish Pub & Eatery

We came in around 12am. Given, I know their kitchen is cleaning up and starting to close down. But it’s not completely closed. Me and 4 of my friends order food, in a completely dead restaurant. Our grub takes 30 – 45 min. The bartender was unfriendly and rushed us to order. We played 3 games of pool while waiting. The food came out at choppy times, 10 min apart. Not very happy with this experience. As a proud Irishman I am not planning on coming back. I will spread the word to my big Irish family too

Amazing amazing food! You wouldn’t expect it by the look of it. We had the 2−4-$ 20 and the amount of food was more than enough. Not only that, it was amazing. We had the fish and chips where the fish was so tenderly fried, not flaky and dry at all. We also got the shepherds pie and Kilkenny’s smothered chicken and the portion was so big yet very delicious. They also have wonderfully priced alcohol as well as dart boards, pool tables and golden tee. Would definitely come here again, just for the food. Chef is amazing.’

Very disappointed in how downhill this place has gone. It took us twenty mins just to tell us they didn’t have the liquor to make the drinks we ordered and our food was sub par (aside from the steak bombs) ordered a caprese salad and it came with four tomato pieces and four small mozzarella pieces mostly and only lettuce. Also our drinks sucked … Literally all soda. I don’t fuq w that… before I go we can’t forget the best part of the entire meal when we asked for the manager then proceeded to get sassed by a worker that tried to delegate our grievances on a completely inappropriate level. Not pleased.

Probably one of the best shepherds pie I’ve ever had in FL. Everyone who works there is always a pleasure and the food never disappoints. Coolest place basically on Tampa rd/​Hillsborough rd

I had late night reservations at a restaurant in the area, but Peggy O’Neill’s caught my eye on Unilocal as a good place to grab a pre-​dinner drink. I didn’t realize that I had previously visited the strip mall that houses the Irish pub, but it’s right beside the old Round Up country bar.
Our bartender/​waitress, Adrian, was awesome. She was very welcoming and made an effort to get acquainted with each person who entered. It seemed like there were a lot of regulars. We started off at the bar, but all of the tables in the dining area were empty so we decided to move to watch the Lightning game. There are seven big screen televisions, so you should never have to choose between which games to watch!
We visited during happy hour and ordered a $ 5 pitcher of Bud Select. Happy Hour is available every day from 11:00am — 7:00pm. It was also BOGO appetizers at the time, so we decided to get the steak eggrolls and Irish nachos. Both were excellent pub food selections. The nachos were potato chips covered in a ton of cheese, bacon, and green onions. We got the sour cream on the side, since I’m not a fan. We were even able to get the steak rolls without onions, which surprised me because I figured they were pre-​made. I was really impressed by the flavor and would order it again. The food was more than enough for a full meal for both of us; we actually took leftovers home!
Whether you’re looking for a quick drink, tasty bar bites, or a friendly conversation, Peggy O’Neill’s Irish Pub is a great option.

Came across this place in a shopping plaza off Tampa road. Nice bar with lots of tv’s. My boyfriend said it was the best Shepard’s Pie he’s had and I loved my Cowboy Burger with a side of creamy mac’n’cheese.

I come here 3x a week, so you know it’s pretty sweet. I’ve always wanted to live next to an Irish bar, so my life is kinda neat.
Wings, tacos, burgers n’ more. Everyone comes here, from good girls to whores.
Karaōke’s on Thursday, and nobody can sing. But after three beers, you’ll feel like a king (and it won’t matter).
The prices are cheap and the beer is hella’ cheap. Like a girl who plays video games, this is a bar you have to keep.

Was here Tuesday night for dart league and it was fairly dead. People coming in and out, but not enough to require more than the bartender for the whole place.
BOGO apps during happy hour. Got the Ruben eggrolls & steak eggrolls. Both were good, but I preferred the steak ones. $ 5 Guinness.

While stopping for lunch here means not going to the popular and more tasty Cuban Breezes right across the parking lot, there are a few redeeming factors when doing so.
First, you get an immense amount of food for your money. Daily lunch specials from 11am to 3pm include soup or salad and it was the largest «side salad» I have received at any restaurant for lunch in a long time. Clearly, the kitchen made everything fresh and my entrée was steaming hot and plated nicely.
As an Irish Pub, there’s an expectation met with much of what you see on the menu but there are honestly plenty of items to choose from whether you order to fit the theme or have something different in mind.
Drinking at a place with this theme is never difficult and there appeared to be plenty of specials available. I am not a day drinker, but the bar was packed with regulars on this particular weekend afternoon who didn’t look like they were going anywhere for hours.
Oh, there were two pool tables inside. I note this because pool tables are an endangered species in the bar/​restaurant world because they take up too much space and places that have them are tough to find. Not sure if they work or not as they looked a bit on the older side, but both are located right near the bar.
While they feature some nightly entertainment such as live music or the dreaded Karaōke on Thursdays (One of those magic three things that keeps me out of a bar/​restuarant no matter what… the others are UFC/​MMA telecasts or Kids Eat Free promotions), I found plenty of entertainment in the two regulars conversing about all things pro football. These dudes are convinced Jameis is «the real deal,» Ryan Tannehill is a «stud» and the Cowboys will trade Tony Romo after this season. Sorry, that’s why guys like this LISTEN to sports talk radio and don’t actually host it.

Had the fish and chips and beer cheese soup. Both were excellent. The fish was hot and crispy. The soup creamy with a tangy taste. Service was good. I’d go back but I don’t live in the area.

First time dinning experience at this pub. We had the beer soup, flat bread & a chicken sandwich. Soup was good but flat bread & sandwich average for bar food. The overall low score is due to the horrible service & treatment we endured by the wait staff. Apparently this was not a good day to have dinner here due to some special event they were having. We had to wait over 20 minutes to place our order then had to have our food eaten & be gone in 15 minutes in order to not have to pay a cover fee. There was so much pressure from the wait staff that the entire dining experience was ruined. We ultimately paid the $ 16 cover charge so we could eat our meal in peace! We never received our drink or condiment orders despite asking wait staff multiple times and by multiple I’m talking more than 5 requests! Not sure that we’d ever return due to the shoddy service but on a happier note, the band was excellent soooo band gets 5 stars, pub gets 1 star!

Local pub style restaurant. Admittedly, I only go on Thursdays when they have their BOGO basket o’ Fish ‘n Chips (you have to order two beverages to get the deal).
Two planks of fish that are sized pretty decently for a hungry guy and a basket of fries. Very nice. No frills. I wanna eat. I wanna pay. I wanna go. They oblige.

Irish Pub on St. Patty’s Day… NO drink specials & they’ve run out of EVERYTHING!!!
First time here & Never Again!!!

Went for fish and chips and cold beer. Fish was lightly breaded, hot and fresh and very good. Beer pitcher nice and cold. Wife had corned beef and cabbage which was also very good and a nice size serving.
Service was excellent the waitress was super attentive and helpful. Going back.

We went on Wednesday night. The trivia was pretty lame. We had the Ruben rolls for an app. They were perfect.

First time ever going here and wow I wish I lived closer. Food was absolutely amazing, very high quality. Free beer. Great prices and chill environment. Got to meet the owner who bought me a shot.
Definitely would recommend.

I had the Shepherds Pie and my lady had the corned beef and cabbage, both were good, throw a Guinness in the equation and you have a definite winner!

I tried this place out because I had heard they had ‘authentic’ Fish & Chips, which is a dish I had fallen in love with in Portsmouth, England while in the Navy, so that’s what I had. Was it good? Yeah, it was decent. Was it authentic? No, not even close! I’m not sure what fish they used, but it didn’t taste like Haddock or North Atlantic Cod (which is what traditional Fish & Chips is made with). The batter was too heavy and the «chips» (fries) were seasoned fries, which I found a bit odd, as that is not too «authentic». Since this place touts itself as a traditional «pub» I thought they would have a side dish of mushy peas, but no, they had cole slaw.
The décor is okay, with an «Irish Flair» that seems to be a bit overdone in some cases, particularly the uniform the waitress wore, making her look more like a schoolgirl, not «Irish». The place was very clean though, so that was nice.
The service was pretty fast but then again, the place was roughly 99% empty, and the server (Angie) was very polite and seemed a lovely young lady, no complaints there. There were several people at the bar, and only one other table, but she handled everything nicely and seemed fairly knowledgeable on the menu.
Décor: Okay
Cleanliness: Seemed VERY clean
Service: Excellent
Food: Decent

Just found this place although its been there for a while.
We went on a Monday night, which is $ 1 tacos and 50 cent wings! I tried both, and both were great. The tacos were very fresh — a lot like homemade. The wings were tasty, and come in a number of different flavors.
The place looks like your typical Irish pub. Service was very quick, but the place was really empty when we were there.
We heard it was the first night under new management, so we will see if there are any changes.
Lots of interesting bar/​pub food on the menu, so I will be back to try some more!

Peggy O’Neill’s is one of those bars that you know what you’re in for as soon as you walk in the door.
It’s a local bar in a strip mall in Oldsmar right off of Hillsborough Avenue.
The Drinks: Strong, large and good.
The Service: Okay. Average.
The Food: Good bar food. I had the Irish Nachos and after I was done, I still wanted more.
The Ambiance: Interesting. The bar smells like. a bar. There is karaōke some night and a jukebox with a good selection of music.
B. Major Grade: B
