If you want to go to the closest thing to an actual Irish pub, here's the place. Got word from an Irish youth that this was the most authentic Irish pub experience he had found to date. Give this place a shot. It might surprise you.
Great Irish pub, great with a group, that's mostly what I can recall. Can't say much of the food because I haven't had a lot of it here. The Guinness is hearty, no complaints on the service, love the cosy booths.
I love this pub!!! Best Guinness in downtown Vancouver. It is so cozy and the food is delicious! Staff is friendly and the service is quick! 👌❤️
Decent place and good prices. Sometimes the wait staff can be a bit curt, though. During happy hours, their pints cost $6 + taxes (judging from other reviews, the prices must have gone up).
Really good Guiness. Stopped in for a Guinness and it was Happy hour BONUS 20 oz pints at $5.00 ( plus tax)
Friendly waitress really good atmosphere . Would we go back ?
HELL YES
only complaint is that the wall were a bit dusty
could usen a bit of a dusting
Either wise NO COMPLAINTS
Must try
Went for lunch and immediately were greeted by the waiter. Very friendly, quick service. Food was fantastic, went with the special and was not disappointed. Home cut fries!
Great place for lunch!. My boyfriend and I wandered in here when we only had an hour for lunch and the server was very welcoming and said he could get us in and out in an hour. I had the veggie sandwich and potato bacon soup, it was perfect for a rainy day! I think my boyfriend had a burger and he also really enjoyed it. I decided to go back with my ESL students before we went to the aquarium. It was Friday and they had fish and chips on special. All of the students who ordered the special really liked it. I had the veg sandwich again, still delicious. Both times the servers were very nice and attentive. I will definitely go back to this place!
Cozy, perfect pub. We went here for my daughter's 19th birthday, just a mother/daughter night, and loved it! from the perfect, very authentic pub decor (dark, small and full of regulars) to the great service and food, we thought it was awesome.
The manager went out of his way to greet and speak with us (we stood out amongst all the regulars & we were the only ones there not drinking beer! lol!), made sure we were enjoying ourselves and our food/drinks. This will surely be our pub of choice everytime we're back downtown.
Plum Snug. There's no "Love it" vote, but if there was, I would give it to this place. Great atmosphere, classic menu that always pleases. No finer Irish bistro than Johnnie Fox's Irish Snug. This is my regular for dinner, and lunch when I'm in town.
I felt like going to a pub for supper tonight. Johnnie Fox's Irish Snug on Granville was just a couple blocks from my hotel so I thought I'd check it out. It's not a big place and it was crowded ... I liked the vibe. I was craving wings and ordered them hot with Ranch sauce. There were 13 to a serving. They were small and overcooked ... I wouldn't order them again. So I liked the pub and would go back for a pint or two, I wouldn't get the wings again.
Alright, let's break down the name of this place. Who is Johnnie Fox and what is an Irish Snug? As far as I know (or what Google told me) Johnnie Fox is not a who, but rather a where. There's a pub to this exact name in Glencullen, a village in Ireland…established all the way back in 1798. For those history buffs, that's the Irish Rebellion. Well, one of many rebellions the Irish had. Apparently they liked to fight. A lot. Goes well with the Guinness and whiskey I suppose? Now what's a " snug "? "…typically a small, very private room with access to the bar that had a frosted glass external window… a higher price was paid for beer in the snug and nobody could look in and see the drinkers….for patrons who preferred not to be seen in the public bar. Ladies would often enjoy a private drink in the snug in a time when it was frowned upon for ladies to be in a pub. The local police officer would nip in for a quiet pint, the parish priest for his eveni
Johnnie Fox is a great place to hang out or meet with friends. Friendly staff and place that speaks of Ireland. The Prime Rib Yorkies and Everyone Else's Wings are very tasty. Good selection of beers on tap too. Will definitely be back with friends and family.
Great venue but until they embrace the full concept of Happy Hour, we will continue to take our business to all the near by pubs, bars, and restaurants in the area.
I hope they see the wisdom of that soon or they may be the next failure and that would be 😥 tragic!
This is a great Irish Pub!
Food was great, drinks were on point, and the servers were kind and quick.
The only thing that would have made this perfect would be if they hadn't run out of dry cider for crown floats!
Might be time to bring one more on board!
Not bad, good place for a fun evening as they are one of the few places in town that actually create a lively evening atmosphere with live music, bar service and standing up between tables. Food is also okay, poutine with beans is decent, although had another dish that was pretty average (think it was the veggie pie). Drinks seem to be on the expensive side which is strange given the type of place. Guinness for example seems to be the most expensive I've seen it across the whole city, over $10 a pint. They also do quiz nights on Wednesday although can be a bit hard to hear questions/answers
