Tried this place on a whim when out one night. Overall it was fairly mediocre. I will admit that it was probably getting towards the end of their dinner service and their focus may have been more on settling up for nightlife, but we were still paying customers there to enjoy dinner. The wait for service was slow but we were not in a rush. We did get our beers fairly quickly which was nice and the server was very nice. However there were quite a few errors. I did not receive the meal I ordered as the server placed the wrong order for me. I hate wasting food so I ate what I was served. They forgot various sides that my partner had asked for. At the end we received the full bill with no I'm sorry and I never saw a manager. I would not have wanted my meal comped, but we didn't have a really good experience and would have been nice for at least an "I'm sorry". The food I had was okay so I can't say I disliked the place, but I do not plan to return there.

I'm giving Bulls a 5/5 based on their whiskey collection alone. Huge selection of single malts and I believe Jeff said 50 different bourbons. I drank a few of them. Prices were reasonable too.
Friendly staff, with a bar that wraps around into separate rooms. There is an upper floor that we never got to. They had open mic the night we were there and also have a comedy open mic night.
It was our last night in Portland and I'm so glad we stopped here. Will definitely go back again.
Ps. The people singing were pretty incredible!!! Great local talent!!

Comfortable Irish pub with a good selection of brews and food. We had a nice window seat upstairs...great for people watching.

Out of towner but have been here numerous times. I haven't experienced the things mentioned in the negative reviews. The Irish fare is very good, the rest of the menu is good too - lobster roll is awesome. Bangers & Colcannon is my favorite.
Probably the best Scott and Irish Whiskey selection I've ever seen in my 58 years (not all of them drinking!)

This is probably one of my favorite Irish restaurants in Portland. Trust me, that’s saying a LOT given that Rí Ras (another amazing Irish restaurant) is just around the corner.
So why do I give Bull Feeney’s the edge?
1) “Warm Cozy”... everytime I walk in, I feel welcomed. It’s hard to put my finger on it as to why this is so. Perhaps it’s how they’ve preserved the charm of this historic brick building... the amazing views of Old Port... the worn green peeling paint on the window sills... or perhaps it’s how many of the seating selections are tucked away in a cozy corner.
2) “Friendly Staff” every encounter with the staff feels like I’m chatting with a good friend.
3) Amazing food and local craft selection. I’d suggest their fish & chips or bangers and mash.

Bull Feeney's met and exceeded every craving I had for a hamburger and fries. I was immediately delighted and wondered why everyone doesn't have their combination sweet potato and regular french fries. The fries came out quickly served paper wrapped in a bucket accompanied not only ketchup but an array of sauces all so exceptionally delicious I cannot decide which is best. I had the horseradish and my brother joined with the Chipotle mayo. This was followed by burgers cooked exactly to a medium both juicy and flavorful hit out if the kitchen. The building's woodwork interior and excellent noonday lighting made for a perfect lunch stop to which their wonderful staff were quick and friendly. I'm going back for more fries!

You can tell there's history in this Irish pub. A good selection of local craft beers and staple Irish spirits.

Food was okay, We saw our waitress once after ordering our food and that was to receive our food. The place wasn’t even busy. Our bill was $42 after tax. I handed the waitress $60, I guess she just assumed that she could keep $18 for a tip. I water 15 minutes for her to arrive with my change and then I had to have the bartender call her back down to give me my change. It was kind of awkward.

Very poor service and food. Our server was very unfriendly and not attentive. The table was sticky and dirty. We were given wrong food (we even touched it) then it was served to the correct table. I asked for clarification on what the meal I was ordering was and unfortunately it came out very different. My fries were cold and hard. I had to ask for my condiments multiple times. Overall very dissatisfied.

Grabbed a drink and sang some songs at open mic night...place is always great and food is on point too....check it out!

We went in because I was interested in the selection of Irish whiskey and the single malt scotch and the menu looked intriguing, the food was phenomenal and the service was top notch as well. We will definitely be going back again.

Bull Feeney's is our go-to, only second to the Front Room, when we are looking for a warm atmosphere and delicious comfort food. While I agree that the service can be overwhelmed at times, a flask of Jamo in the breast pocket and good company make this possibility easy to accept. Again, if the service is a bit behind, the food is well worth the wait! I tend to alternate between the Shepherd's Pie and the Bangers and Colcannon... though there is so much more that warms the Celtic soul. We are headed there this coming Saturday and we can't wait. Slainte!

First time at Bull Feeney's. I had the haddock tacos and my husband ordered the fish and chips. The fries were delicious as were my tacos. Our server was especially knowledgeable about the wines they serve. I loved the atmosphere and the music. I would definitely recommend and return!
Curtis Yearego
Great food. Nice atmosphere. Good service. The only drawback is, it’s a little bit pricey. Other than that, great little place.
Bethany Gavett
Had a great experience sitting in a small corner window seat. We had the opportunity to choose our table and we loved the window seats. Our waitress was very pleasant and the food was delicious. We’ll be back!

The food and service here are always stellar. I visited yesterday with my family (a party of 5, all adults) at 1:00pm. There was no hostess, so there was slight confusion about our reservation, but we were seated quickly upstairs, given bottles of chilled water and menus.
Typically I go with Bangers and Colcannon, but I figured I’d try something new and ordered the Shepherd’s Pie with a side of roasted Brussels Sprouts with Pancetta. It was all DELICIOUS, and I had to take home half of my half order of Shepherd’s Pie! Since I’m having it for lunch, warmed up, right now I figured it was a good time to share my great experience at Bull Feeney’s.
I really love this place, the ambiance, the servers, the food...the all around experience.
Bathrooms could be a little cleaner, but I’m giving it a pass because it’s such a busy restaurant and I know patrons can be slobs at times.

I got the shepards pie with the lamb in it, holy crap it was so good! Best shepards pie ive ever had! Also the waitor was really awesome too! And the beer was fantastic! Sunday is a good night to come if you dont like crowds, my friends and I sat upstairs and we were the only ones up there, the food was fairly quick too! Overall, fantastic experience 10/10 would definetely reccomend!

Only place open on a holiday weekend when everything else highly rated has a 3 hour wait. Sounds great, right?! Wrong. Place is dirty, served incorrect meal and the french fries were more like OG potato sticks. Also pretty sure our waitress was on lithium. Should've hit Five Guys instead.
Deborah Martinez
Always love this place. Great selection of whiskeys. Great food. One of our favorite places to visit when we come to Portland.

Our server was wonderful, attentive, and answered our menu questions. The Rueben sandwich was delicious and warm. My husband and I enjoyed having dinner here before attending a concert. Will return.
