Guestbook
“ A nice Irish pub in Downtown Dallas. I had the scotch egg appetizer and bangers and mash entree, while my brother enjoyed a burger. Both hit the spot; in particular the bangers were very juicy, and combined with the gravy and mashed potatoes made for an excellent savory bite of food. My wife recommended this restaurant, and I would definitely return if I was in town. ”
“ This place quickly became my favorite restaurant, earning a solid 5/5 rating across the board! The service, ambiance, food, and drinks were simply outstanding. Service: The staff was excellent, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Drinks: I highly recommend the seasonal plum cocktail—it was a delightful treat! Food: The highlight of my meal was the Monte Cristo, which was unbelievably delicious. Made with smoked turkey, ham, Wexford Cheddar, and Swiss cheese on sourdough, it’s beer-battered and fried, then dusted with powdered sugar and served with raspberry preserves. The presentation was stunning, and I couldn't resist sharing it with everyone at the table. They all agreed it was the best sandwich they had ever tasted! Overall, The Crafty Irishman is a must-visit for anyone in Dallas. I can't wait to go back! ”

“ I am writing to offer a glowing recommendation for The Crafty Irishman Public House in downtown Dallas. My recent visit there was nothing short of spectacular, solidifying its place as a must-visit spot for anyone seeking a true taste of Ireland coupled with outstanding American fare. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was a perfect blend of cozy Irish pub and lively downtown hotspot. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. For my meal, I had the pleasure of devouring the Irish American Burger, and it was a revelation. The patty was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful, and the toppings were a brilliant fusion of classic pub elements with a unique twist that made it stand out. It's a burger I'll be dreaming about until my next visit. My wife, equally delighted, ordered the Monte Cristo. It was a masterpiece—a golden-fried delight with the perfect balance of savory ham and turkey, all complemented by a dusting of powdered sugar. She couldn't stop raving about how it was one of the best she's ever had. Beyond the food, the drink selection was impressive, and the overall vibe of the place was exactly what you hope for in a great pub—friendly, inviting, and full of character. The Crafty Irishman Public House is more than just a restaurant; it's an experience.
