The food is tasteless and not a great quality. The salsa had no seasoning whatsoever, and the Acapulco Burrito was bland. The waitress was very nice, but the food just isn’t good. When we were there, a Budweiser rep was passing out free beer and merch. The bathroom stalls are big, but it’s not very clean and has no paper towels. There was live music, but it was way too loud and in an awkward location.

I always open a night at a bar with a Long Island, and how well it is made will dictate how many drinks I will order and how much I trust the bartender to make what I ask for correctly. If they go overboard on something, or forget something, I can tell.
So I said to the bartender "gimme a long island, man". He brought me back a Manhattan. Worst Long Island I have ever had. An OK Manhattan, though the well whiskey he put in it was certainly holding it back.
I liked the atmosphere here, and I forgive the bartender for mishearing me over the live music although he didn't offer me a refund when I explained what happened.
I'd go back here for sure. The bar itself is arranged very nicely and the selection they have is commendable. I like that the interior is wide open with plenty of seating both at the island style bar and tables.

I went to Garcia Brogans with a group of 7. There was absolutely no other customers seated in the restaurant. We sat down at approximately 5:15pm and ordered drinks and apps right away. We did not receive those until about 6:00m. After we finished our beverages, no one in our party was asked for a refill. We eventually put in dinner orders around 6:35pm. Three ppl asked for burgers medium rare, they came out around 6:55pm well done. I will never go back due to the long wait time for food and lack of hospitality. Stay away, unless you’re sitting at the bar!

Mixed drinks are good. The beer selection is nothing special. Sometimes horrible service with subpar bland food, seems most if it just got defrosted. Charges a cover on weekends for music that makes conversation nearly impossible even when you are not on the side with the loud music. Patio seating during the day is the best part. Decent choice for the area.

Really sharp dining room and bar and great friendly service. I liked the selection of craft beers but the food was only average. A small menu of Mexican-American standards. The guacamole is exceptional though.

There were 8 of us in a room completely by ourselves which was really nice, however we barely got any service. The waitress would go 10 to 15 minutes without coming to the table to check on us unfortunately, so half the time we were there (2 hours) everyone's drinks were completely empty and the waitress was no where to be found to order more drinks.
The food was very very bland, no flavor at all. I got the tres tacos and there was literally no flavor so I asked for a side of guacamole just so I could have some flavor. Some of our friends enjoyed it, but I wasn't a fan.

Location is not a safe area and poorly lit to boot. Place looks great inside. Staff very attentive at first then disappeared. Some of the food was really cold but taste was decent. Frozen Margaritas were terrible. It was huge tasteless foamy rocky slush (ice chips kept blocking straws) and a lot of salt got into the glasses. Good selection of tap beers.

One of the best fish and chips plates I've ever had. The menu items are a fusion between Mexican and Irish cuisine. And they have a rotating selection of cold beer on tap. What more could you want from a pub?
