Description
Whelan's is a unique Irish pub that garners a spectrum of reviews from patrons. While some rave about the vibrant atmosphere, friendly staff, and delightful food, including the coveted Guinness, others express frustration over poor treatment from doormen and unsanitary conditions. Customers have noted high drink prices and inconsistent service quality, particularly regarding the handling of entry restrictions and bathroom cleanliness. Though many enjoy the live music and ambiance, the unsettling experiences shared by others highlight an urgent need for improved staff training and maintenance. Overall, Whelan's remains a place of contrast, inviting both loyalty and disappointment.

Whelan's Irish Pub is a fantastic spot for those seeking cool music and excellent draft beer! The atmosphere is lively and vibrant, with talented musicians performing. The selection of draft beers is impressive, and the quality is top-notch. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a memorable night out with great music and refreshing brews, Whelan's is the place to be!
Had a great night, thanks to all the staff for making it the best! My first time but doubt it will be my last.
This is One of my favorite haunts, and truly is a well deserved experience for everyone that goes and like a good time. Staff are diligent, speedy and cheerful, some even more positive than you'd normally expect. Security is well organized and cares for the safety of the people within and the venue surrounds. Toilets are adequate, though the bolts in the stall always seem to broken. Anyways, best Irish venue around, even some live acts and djs frequently as well as karaoke. Though check the no
A fabulous Irish pub. I stopped for a beer with a group of friends. As well as having some great decor and a good selection of beer (including guiness) the locals and bar staff where very pleasant. Felt very comfortable, would have been happy going with the family or as an individual.
The staff at the door are incompetent. They turned away our group because we didn't have any women with us and claimed we were too drunk. This happened before, but I didn't leave a review because I thought maybe we were drunk. However, today we were rejected even though the pub was empty. They lied about us being kicked out of another pub. In contrast, we have had positive experiences at Wetherspoons nearby with friendly door staff. The person at the door today, without any identification, became physical with me when I questioned why we were not allowed in. I was not aggressive, but this individual pushed me three times and falsely accused me of being threatening. This treatment of male customers on a Saturday night is unacceptable. Avoid this place unless you are female, as the door staff are sexist. We have no interest in causing trouble, but the door staff's behavior is disgraceful. This review is not about the establishment itself, but the door staff need to be replaced. I have been turned away unfairly before. It seems like they don't care about their business or customers. The door staff need to check their egos and stop mistreating male customers. I won't be returning due to the poor treatment and lack of professionalism. If this happens again, I will take action. Whelans, please address this issue with your door staff before you lose more customers.
