Great Irish bar! Just happened to stumble soon it today. The bartender was amazing! Had wonderful conversations with folks. Also, this was the first time in my adult life that a restaurant actually cooked my burger perfectly as I asked for it. Well done! I have a buddy that owns a Irish restaurant in Minneapolis called O' donavan's. Dermit would approve of this wonderful establishment. Keep up the great work. If I have the opportunity to come back. I most certainly will.
When I went it was extremely busy and the bartender did his best to keep up the drinks were mixed well. And there was a live band if you're into that thing. It is not my place but it is great if it is what you're looking for.
Great Irish pub. Good food, good drinks, great music with the Rhythm Bandits!!
Harp and fiddle is a traditional Irish dive bar with traditional Irish bar food. We went on a Saturday night and it was live music to boot! The food was really good I especially like the beef stew and the meat pies. If you're a fan of Irish coffee I heartily recommend it.
Because it's Bethesda parking is wretched, and I recommend using one of the public lots and hopefully you will get a spot. The good news is that it's free on the weekends.
The wait staff was a lot of fun and would go right to the kitchen or the bar if you needed anything that they were unsure of. they were also very attentive when it came to refilling a glass or clearing a table.
Information, this is a great place to spend a few hours here great music eat some good food in a place that is really good for what it is - a really nice Irish dive bar with live music!
I have visited this pub three times, so far. The Guinness (an easy choice) is on tap and tastes as it should. My friend's Jameson was a healthy pour. Food was properly pub-like, with curry fries and brown gravy, mini meat pies, and an Irish BLT rounding out our order.
The occasional loud drunk is part of the charm of dining in a bar, so no worries there. Just be aware that it's not the sort of "family" place one might bring children and expect 100% decorum. Maybe 80%? Still, I'd leave the kids home, at night.
Let's not forget the live music! I haven't actually experienced that yet, so no critique; but it does exist, some nights.
Worth returning to? Yes. Perhaps next weekend...
Great place to meet up with old friends from the area. Went on a Friday night around 8:30 (get there before 8:00 if you don't want to pay a cover charge ($5,0 the night I went). Drinks were reasonably priced. Did not eat, but the band played great 80s and 90s music, so I lost some weight dancing.
A friend had a small celebration there. We went on a Wednesday night and I was glad I had a parking spot outside in no time. They had Karaoke night and therefore a mixed crowd of people was present. It is a regular bar with regular people and that made me feel like I am a regular there, even so that was my 1st time. My friend had food catered. It was blue-cheese filled tomatoes, salad chicken wraps, salmon creme on cucumber, peppers filled with bacon and cheese which was my favorite. Everything tasted good and the service was outstanding. They do have a small outdoor area in between the buildings which I would have liked but everyone was smoking there.
I had a great time I guess that deserves 5 stars.
I really enjoyed my evening here. Decent beer selection, food was excellent, travelling alone on my trip; I found the regulars easy to approach and strike up a decent conversation.
Found one of my new friends to be the owner. Good drink, food and conversation at reasonable prices. Later in the evening, there was live music... on a Tuesday.
Oh, and I left the place a fan of the Washington Capitals. Way to take the Stanley Cup!
Very night setting, i love the dim lighting and food. The owner is very nice & extremely funny man. Definitely a good place to dine, go to the bar, play poker and or darts i think it's called.
Bartender Jenny was great! Friendly, talkative, made the best drinks I've had since being in Maryland. Food was cooked perfectly got mini Steak and Guinness pies, and a burger I forget the name but cooked perfectly. Not expensive compared to other places and a cozy atmosphere..even opens super early for a lot of soccer games
