Obsessed with The Old Shillelagh! I'm fully plant based and their plant based menu is INCREDIBLE. I currently live in LA, and they truly have more plant based options than most restaurants in LA. Great food, great drinks, and great vibes :)

A traditional style bar, with lots of wood and TV screens with ball games on. A good variety of beers, with a more limited menu, but the corned beef on rye did not disappoint. Service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a nice experience.

If you like the Shamrock Club in Chicago, you'll love it here. Old school Irish bar with delicious food and great service.

We just came here for a quick pint and to check it out (we were visiting family and they brought us here).. What a fun spot!! The bartender (his name was Jason) was a fantastic bartender with a great personality and was very good with the patrons. I did see some people order food, and it looked good, but we were only here for one pint. We would definitely come back

This was my first time to The Old Shillelagh. It was Halloween night and there were probably a dozen people there. I met the bartender Jason and he was a great guy who played awesome music. I had a mushroom Swiss burger and a Smithwick's followed by their red from Frankenmuth Brewery. All were excellent. I even sought out the cook to tell him so. I've read the other one star reviews and I just didn't have that experience. I did see the 15% automatic gratuity sign before ordering. I've been to bars all over the country and I had a good beer, a good meal and a good time. I'm going back this weekend.

This has been a greektown staple for many years. Can't say more than any other Yelper. I will call out the really tasty fries here. They almost look like a Frito scoop. Well seasoned and from a texture basis, some are soft and fluffy and others are crunchy and have the thinness of a potato chip. Truly remarkable surprise.

Had a great time at the Old Shillelagh. Was in town for the NFL draft and they showed us a great time. They had a couple events and opened up all the floors. Connected with the staff and learned a lot about the city. Played darts with regulars and learned a thing or two there as well. Stuck to Jameson and Gingers. (I'm a low maintenance drinker) Detroit seems like it's doing a full 180. Can't wait to be back.

Came here for lunch recently. It seems like a fun bar at night! There's a lot of seating inside and a nice patio. Service was friendly and quick. The food is standard bar food, but they have a huge vegan menu which is really cool. The fries were really good.

Been so long since I'd been here but came here for some later night treats and remembered their vegan menu was amazing! I ordered the vegan buffalo chick'n wrap and it was delicious. The bar has dive bar written all over it but this place is a staple in Detroit and I love it! There's writing on the wall and nice high tables inside. The staff was super friendly and attentive!
