The Irish Lion

Grab a table outside if you can... fish & chips , celtic stew , blarney puffballs - it's all amazing! I recommend the cider they've got on tap for these hot summer evenings.

Downstairs has a much better atomsphere, so if your party is all over 21, try to get seats down there. And of course, try the blarney puffballs , especially if you're a cheese lover!

Try the cider on tap - it's a nice chance of pace and goes perfectly with Blarney Puffballs and Fish & Chips ! Family-friendly dining is available upstairs.

The fish and chips were cooked perfectly and not heavily breaded . The coddle soup and soda bread was also very tasty

Go to the Irish Lion and try the Celtic Stew . It's the best thing to warm you up during the cold Bloomington winters. Don't forget to add some Blarney Puffballs to your meal!

The Celtic Stew is soooo good! Much like a beef pot roast but creamier and the lamb meat just melts in your mouth

Best Leg of Lamb I've ever tasted and the potatoes were delicious! Celtic Stew was very flavorful with lots of lamb slices. Yum!

Best atmosphere for a pint in town . Used to work in a British pub and this makes me feel right at home. Also usually has one British or Irish cider on tap !

If you get soup , the soda bread that comes with is great. The building is from the 1880's. Get a Guinness , some grub, then head to Roy's.

Love the Celtic Stew here. Great atmosphere. Occasionally the hostesses have been incredibly rude though.

The chicken cordon bleu is amazing. I love the salads and the blarney puff balls always make a great snack while drinking a Guiness .

Hidden gem of Bloomington. So many amazing options on the menu!

The corned beef and cabbage was so authentic and yummy!

Puffballs are amazing! Great service every time we come

A beer connoisseur friend says he's only experienced 2 places that have better Guinness than The Lion.

Hands down the best soda bread in a 50-mile radius.

Try the Blarney Burger - Imported Irish cheese - you can't go wrong!

Try the Shrimp Cocktail - Always a light and refreshing appetizer .

Great drinks, good food, and great service. A Bloomington staple!

Try the Blarney Puffballs - Gooey Irish potato goodness!

Tyrconnell whiskey--for the whiskey lovers and for those who need to be.

Best Guinness beer ..I have had in a long time!

Blarney Puffballs are always heaven. Also love the Celtic Stew & soda bread . Love the Lion! :)

The Blarney Puffballs and the coddle are some of my favorite things in Bloomington!

Order bangers and potatoes and cabbage !!!! Wow! Awesome dish!

Puffballs were awesome. Lamb burger not so. Prime rib spot on. Duck was ok.

Gary's Manhattan is wonderful!

The best of Ireland in Bloomington.

Get the fish and chips .

Order the Blarney puffballs ... Amazing potato and cheese deepfried into heavenly balls of Nom'ing!

The smithwicks is better here than in Ireland. Try it and see.

Try the Magic Leprechaun - it's a great coffee drink with amaretto and hazelnut liqueur !

Get the snake bite. Half Guiness and half hard apple cider .

Get the Blarney Puffballs !

Don't live another day without a blarney puffball . And, bring me an order too ...

Kilkenny is delicious.

Wonderful day for a lucky leprechaun !

Guinness and wings

Think I just eat the worst corned beef and cabbage I’ve ever had.

Get the leprechaun wing .

Go for the oysters Rockefeller . Wow!!!

Go to Irish lion, it has the best Chicken wings in Bloomington

Worst food in Bloomington. Only frequent if you are going to tap in to the delicious collection of scotch whiskey .
