I have a love for Irish bars. On vacation from Orlando I was so excited to find a good looking one. I wish the experience was a good one. We came in. There were 4 people at the bar. The bartender came to our table to take the order. She then left and came back with incorrect drinks and forgot one of our party’s drinks. I am pretty sure she was drunk. She spilt drinks on a few of the people in our party. So we were served the wrong drinks and then she has the audacity to charge us for a drink she made a mistake on. Two of our drinks were mixed wrong. Then… When brought to her attention that she charged us for the extra drink AND adds an auto grat after the fact. Jeana is terrible. If you go and see her turn around. What a waste of a place. How that place stays in business I don’t know but stay away. You can get better service elsewhere!

Really wanted to like the place… but it wasn’t a very good experience. Staff said they would be right out with menus, it’s been a half hour, we still have not seen a waitress and there aren’t 20 people in the place We put the dirty glasses on the table next to us, because that had a ton of dirty glasses too.
Walked up to bar for service, drinks were surprisingly expensive ($ 7.50 drink) for a shot glass pour in a plastic cup.
Glad I stopped in, glad I don’t have to go back.

From Chicago, found this gem of a dive bar in a rather swanky neighborhood. We just had drinks, and they were excellent (two ounce pours don’t hurt) ;) The two bartenders Nova and Marietta were absolutely friendly, down to earth, consummate professionals. They have some outdoor seating, which is always nice… it’s a very friendly local feeling atmosphere. Love it!

We always go to Lynches when we’re in Lido Key on St. Patrick’s Day. We usually don’t get a table for over an hour or so, but we stand and enjoy the entertainment nonetheless. The drinks aren’t bad, once you can get your hands on one… the restaurant is very small and the bar area is lacking; kind-of like a galley style kitchen as far as traffic goes. Waitresses are a hit or miss, some are pretty nice, but stressed when it’s so busy. The bartenders are often short-tempered as you’ve gotta stick your neck out to get some attention. Oh, and know what you want ‘cuz they don’t have much patience answering questions about cocktail options when it comes your turn to order. All in all, Lynches Pub & Grub is a fun place, but their popularity calls for claiming a larger space in the circle.

Great little pub. Came in for the first time today from out of town and met the owner. He is a great guy with a likable personality. This is by far the the cleanest Irish pub I’ve been in… especially the bathroom. Definitely recommend the fish tacos. Lots of yummy beer selections. A+ location.

Under new ownership.
The menu hasn’t changed which is good.
It’s classic Irish pub grub.
The wings & cider are good.

Cozy and comfortable. Friendly service. Just stopped in for a quick pint so we didn’t eat. Fun and friendly atmosphere.

The food was pretty good, no complaints. But then again it isn’t that hard to deep fry things or slice Cisco spheres of sulfite-packed watery meat. And the owners were screaming at the bartender which seemed inappropriate, given how small the place is. It was awkward for those of us sitting at the bar. All in all, my 3^rd favorite hick bar on St. Armand’s.

Gross. They need to clean the place, change the oil in the frier and it should be shut down. It’s a shame for st armonds. Give a call to john taffer on the bar rescue show… ah.shiver.

If you are a fan of Guinness, this is where to drink it! They actually pour it correctly with either a shamrock or your name on the top! Food was excellent, actually went back twice in less than 24 hours. The service was impeccable and friendly. Definitely the place to stop in the Circle, Late night menu too, open till midnight!

A woman I’ve learned to be one of the owner’s was extremely rude to my group. We may be younger than your usual clientele, but our money spends the same and there’s plenty of it to be spent in a pub. We’re all late 20s and the other guests seemed to be mostly in their 50s. We were intending to have a round of drinks or two, but immediately realized no one was welcome there. What a cold, harsh environment it was. We ordered a shot and paid at the same time then hauled ass. We could not get out of there fast enough.

Nice pup on the circle. If you need a casual place to stop and grab a beer and burger. Try this place. We had great service and the owner Jason came out to check on us. It was very present and my burger was great. I will defiantly be back.

Draft beer for $ 7.50 at a touristy location– I can deal with. When the bartender STRAINS your beer four times before serving it to you– that’s when you’ve pissed me off. Jon Taffer would be losing his mind. The owner, on the otherhand, was about five feet from his incompetent staff but didn’t seem to notice a damn thing. Obviously I do not recommend.

I was on vacation and stopped by this joint which is right on the circle of the touristy shopping area. The service was adequate although the waitress we had didn’t seem to understand certain things that we wanted, the lady who sat us had a bit of a brash personality, the food was overpriced given the taste of it, the cheese burger was extremely oily for example my bottom bun was soggy from the oil, and the fries were a bit too crispy and bland. My side salad was good but for $ 6 at a pub that seemed too much. I think we all kind of wished we would have chosen a different place for lunch that day.

To Sonja T from Los Angeles In all honesty my dear, I was there when you and your boyfriend parked in the owner’s parking spot clearly marked for Lynches customers only. You had the nerve to walk through their kitchen, browse the menu standing and proceed out the front door. When the owner arrived, she parked behind you. When you returned and were blocked in, your boyfriend entered the establishment and demanded she moved before threatening to call the police !! HA.
To all that want the truth, Lynches is a long standing, reputable, family run business. The food is outstanding, the service bar none, and the whole restaurant is very clean ! In the many years we have been visiting, the only bugs I have ever seen are these two creeps!
So, please take the time to stop by for a pint and some awesome home style Irish food and charm. I am certain you will be pleased!
A Very Satisfied Customer

I had heard many’o’story about ‘The Sisters’ before ever meeting them and visiting their pub.
Back in the day, before I was born, Lynches was on LBK, rather than Ledo (the circle). LBK were brats and moaned about everything… One time they complained about the sign being over the property line. The sisters eventually got up there and cut part of the sign off with a saw… It hangs on the wall in the current business.
Finally in 2003, the sisters went to the circle and business is great. They do a great job taking servers in, teaching them, and then ushering them, now skilled, into the world.
We visited for a little happy hour with my fiancé, the inlaws, and friends. We shared a smoked salmon nibble and enjoyed a few rounds of drinks. The pub was pleasant and staff were prompt, polite, and gracious.
The sisters even sent dad a get well card when he was very sick battling cancer.
