Samuel Beckett's Irish Gastro Pub

“Great spot for St. Patrick’s Day! Samuel Beckett’s Irish Gastro Pub had an awesome atmosphere with both an upstairs and downstairs bar, which made grabbing drinks quick and easy even with the crowd. The live band added so much energy, and they offer a wide variety of drinks to choose from. Overall, such a fun vibe I’d definitely come back! 🍀”

“I really enjoyed the Irish steak sandwich with fries. I tried the Moscow mule for the first time and it was delicious. My family and I have been here a couple of times already and we would definitely come back.”

“An Excellent ,and Beautiful, Irish Pub in Shirlington If you want an Irish pub Experience in the heart of Shirlington, this is it. Our party decided that we wanted to get a good lunch. None of us had tried it but we like the Shirlington area so we picked this restaurant. We parked in the parking garage just walking distance to the south of their corner spot. As soon as you walk in you know you have arrived at a real Irish pub that was transported to the United States. The space has a bar in the middle, seating above, behind and in front of it. There is a bookshelf to one side of the bar, lots of wood and sayings etched into the glass by the bar. The tables seemed a mix of benches on one side and chairs on the other. The waitress was wonderful and funny and knew her business. Our group came to eat AND drink and so we tried many of their various wares on both sides. The place was very clean, not busy and the food came out quickly. We ordered the Shepard’s Pie, Steak Sandwich, Bangers and Mash, and Corned beef and cabbage. The portions were large enough that we ate our fill and still had several meals to take home. The prices were very reasonable ($10-25 for main dishes) for the service, quality, portion, taste and atmosphere. It was a wonderful and delicious experience that I would recommend for anyone in the area.”

“What a beautiful bar! It has a gorgeous bookcase and lots of woodwork and high ceilings. We sat in the back though, participating in a meetup group. They oblidged us with separate checks. I ordered a lamb burger and fries. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. I had a nice glass of Pinot noir and one to go. You can walk around Shirlington with alcohol in plastic cups. We were there during a yatch day festival, so there was a band playng near the pub.”

“We had a pre-show friend gathering before "Safety Not Guaranteed" at the Signature. We set up a reservation for 10, and they were able to accommodate us, no problem. It was a Saturday night, the room was packed, and loud, and we had an incredibly hard time communicating with each other. When I went to the rest room, I noticed this whole other room on the way with no one in it. And there was an upstairs loft, which also was kind of crowded, but I was thinking there was kind of no reason to cram the 10 of us into this front area packed as it was. I'll forgive it all. And I'll be back. We all enjoyed our food and drinks. And extra 10,000 points because they didn't put "black and tan" or "irish car bomb" drinks on the menu. iykyk, and that's some straight up unfriendly "American" irish nonsense. I had 3 mixed pints - one the traditional half & half. Then a Blacksmith, and back to the traditional half & half. Our waiter was delightful, what a great person. I didn't get his name but I felt like everyone working was absolutely stellar. Good vibe, great place.”
