I found this place on accident and am so so glad I did! The food is UNBELIEVABLE !! The Guinness Casserole and Shepard's Pie are hands down the two best dishes you will ever eat!
Great music and environment! Tables outside in the summer, awesome fireplace inside for the winter ;)
Plough & the Stars consistently pours one of the best Guinness pints in town and the rich and hearty shepherd's pie will stick in your mind as well as on your ribs . Read more

Bloody Mary's are really good. Quality Irish breakfast at all times. Play most major football (soccer ) games.
Love the sausage rolls and the UK beer selection . Not a bad place to watch the game either; they have a big projector screen on the wall.
Absolutely fantastic, perfectly proportioned eggs Benedict with lump crab meat and bloody Mary "with a kick" ♡
Nice place inside and outside. Sitting in the sun, enjoying food and drinks, watch people running from one place to another. The only minus is noisy busses...
A great name that represents the struggles, but thats it, a wee bit Lace Curtain Irish for me, actually a lot of lace curtain for me, ill tale Paddys on 2nd and Race comparable to the btgm of titanic
Awesome food, great staff !! Weather your eating inside or outside the atmosphere is on of the best in Old City .
Fish and Chips . Wings , there buffalo sauce is awesome. Grab a loaf of the soda bread to go.
What an awesome menu. Ham and Cabbage to Rack of Lamb . And the beer selection . Needless to say , I'll be back soon.
Quiet during the day, but definitely picks up at night. Friendly bartender . Be sure to get the Evil Eye IPA while they still have it!
Guinness casserole was very good. The sauce along with the beef and mashed potatoes superb
Nice ambiance marred only by a ginormous plasma screen. I didn't come here to watch TV . The service was good but not particularly friendly . The Guiness Casserole was scrumptious though.
Best fireplace in town !
Check out the fireplace in winter time.
Look for John Joe the bartender.. Great Scottish bartender . Tell him Jeff sent you. Also, good Irish bands every Friday night.
If you don't mind a lot of people around you and you want to listen to good music this is the place to be! Or if your celebrating a birthday because they announce your name over and over and dedicate
I suggest the Irish sausage , very good apteizer!
sat outside for drinks. great, friendly service and awesome ambiance
Food is amazing! Definitely gonna try the rest of the menu next time.
Check out their weekly schedule for great live music !
Amazing duck , fantastic steak and nice beer
Magners on tap and a fire in the fireplace . Great place to step in from the rain.
Baily’s Irish coffee + a scoop of Ice Cream makes a nice afternoon treat :)
Look for JohnJoe. One of the best & most friendliest bartenders around.
Fantastic food and a nice pint of harp ????????????????????????
Good music , decent drinks! It gets really crowded on saturday nights...
Say hi to John Joe the bartender . He's one of the best in the city .
The address is 123 Chestnut St but the entrance is well up 2nd St, close to the parking garage .
If you go in the wintertime, there is a cozy fireplace !!

They get stupid people laid by jacking the volume through the roof so you can't hear anyone talk - works I guess...
Try the Olde City Iced Tea--really good!
Battered Sausages

Get the McGillin's Ale. The tomato spinach soup is great and you can't go wrong with the cheesesteak. - Angie Purcell
Fried green beans are tempura battered and come with a garlicky horseradish aioli. We also got the artichoke hearts; battered the same and equally delicious. - Jessica Pionke
Brussel Sprouts... Amazing. Also enjoyed an amazing Salmon dish. - Robert Heil
Unique draft beer list. Good weekend brunch menu. Bacon grease popcorn. Mmmm..... BACON! - Jeffery Gonya
Great selection of beer and well worth the visit. Seasonal beers on tap! A bit crowded and touristy though. - Victoria U.
