Fairfax City ReporterDecember 7, 2016Food here is good but drinks are great and this is the reason for my frequent visit to this place. Excellent place for a loud musical night in Fairfax. There is no place better than Auld Shebeen.
Hannah ColemanAugust 5, 2017Love the employees. Sometimes the live music is a bit too loud. The apple cobbler is amazing, so is the soft pretzel and spinach dip!
Reno MccormickApril 11, 2015Still one of the best places in Fairfax to meet for drinks. Excellent pour on the Guinness, and the chicken nachos are fantastic
Nicole CalderbankFebruary 3, 2014Full Irish breakfast is fantastic! We had a great time watching football/soccer and hanging by the fire.
Like any good pub, it is the sense of belonging that make it raise to the top!
I always have the gorgeous Shepherd's pie. My husband always has the amazing fish & chips. I love the live Irish fiddle nights!
jenna olmozSeptember 22, 2012the seasonal autumn leaf martini is amazing! it's everything good about fall in a glass.
BBQ Brisket sandwich is new on the menu and is excellent.
Come out for karaoke on Tuesday nights with DJ Davalicious!
- Edward WittJune 9, 2012Half price irish food on Mondays. Guiness stew or shepard's pie are good bets.
Wes VangelOctober 20, 2013Pretty cool place but the cigarette smoke coming from downstairs kills it. Wish they would fix that
Great servers. Don't give them a hard time when they card you or they have to close up.
Cate is the best bartender here! Awesome person and great server...
yum! It's ALL good here! and service with a smile!
Tip the bartenders well and they will take care of you. Frank, Manny, Joey, Chris, and Kalieb will hook it up.
EnriKe KeyrouzMarch 19, 2017Nothing, place was not even busy... Rude bouncer/host, running manager like crazy, dumb waitress and rude, took for ever for everything. Chicken tenders over cooked and super dry. Too much light!
Jason KJanuary 6, 2013Food is fairly mediocre. Decent beer selection. Would not recommend the fish and chips nor the corned beef and colcannon.
Who's up for hanging out with a bunch of college kids? You do I reckon if you read this
