Grace O'Malley's Irish Pub and Restaurant

With true pub style, food, and brew, Grace O'Malley's truly shines. There is fantastic live entertainment on the weekends, which I highly recommend you visit. The food options range from small bites to larger meals, all hardy, filling, and delicious. The brew is fantastic, you'll actually get a proper Guinness pour if you order a draft and there is a great selection of whiskeys as well. It's located right in the hearth of downtown Norfolk and parking is accessible along the curb or in nearby parking structures for reasonable fares. Overall Grace O'Malley's is a true piece of Ireland right in the middle of Norfolk and is worth a visit, or twenty..

Really good food. Nice atmosphere. Service was a bit lax but we enjoy this place and I'm sure we will be back. We started with the tomato soup which was rich and delicious. I had the Maple chicken which was also delicious. My husband had the shepherds pie which he also thought was yummy. My husband likes unsweetened ice tea and he found theirs to be exceptionally good. Not bitter and even though I'm sure it was not made to order it tasted very fresh. They have only a few wines on the menu but I really enjoyed their Riesling. Overall a nice place with very good food and drinks.

We came here at 10pm with a group of friends because we usually really enjoy this bar. My husband had a couple to drink before we came in and they wouldn’t allow him to drink. So he got a water. He had to pee later and one of the security guards followed him INTO the bathroom and WATCHED him pee. His name is Eric. It was insane. Not okay: Never coming back.

A fun pub with live music. They have good appetizers and good beer. It wasn't too busy on a Friday night which was great. My only complaint is that the pub didn't have must atmosphere. I don't know if it was the lighting or decor but it kind of felt like a strip mall restaurant. Maybe that's not a fair assessment. I'll be sure to go back and give it another try. Overall, I had a great time drinking and listening to music, but there was just nothing that stood out as particularly great.

Didn't really care for the food. Ordered a salmon BLT. it came on a wrap, not bread. There was more vegetable than salmon. The wrap was tough. What was really a turn off was hearing a huge fight back in the kitchen between two men. It was so loud, with cursing, that every word was clearly heard and the employees acted like it was a normal thing, going about their business. No one went back. I will say, though, the French fries and our server were great.
