Irish 31 Pub House & Eatery - Westchase - Westchase, Florida

Robert N.

Have not been here in years and  I regret returning. Nothing to do with food or ambiance, just revoltingly bad service.

Important things first. It's an Irish pub that serves some traditional Irish fare and American bar food. A large open air bar with seating indoors and outdoors. Perfect for this time of year and the plethera of large screen tv's make it a natural setting for watching sports. I used to frequent the the place after work for my "Sticks and Stella", my beer and their wonderful hand made zucchini sticks.

A lot has changed, it was less busy now during Sunday Football than it was on a regular week night. My favorite snack is no longer served, the once attentive and charasmatic servers are gone, the business like management of yore is missing and a much more lackadaisical atmosphere prevails.

The food seems to be more consistent than the business. Awesome wings, great house made chips and even the fries seemed better than store bought. I had the Fish ans Chips which while great in flavor were heavily breaded for one reason...they cut the fish into thin strips instead of filets. More profit in that I imagine but only 1 of the 3 strips had a suitable amount of fish. The other 2 looked the same but were mostly breading. A shame because the flavor was very nice. My wife loved her hummus and chicken wrap with greens, tomato and greek dressing.

Now the sad part. A buxom blonde was our server. It began as a tepid and unattentive encounter. As time passed she ignored the table for long periods and waiting to pay the check became somewhat soul crushing. The girl in the table next to me sat around for 20 minutes before they ever spoke to her. When people she was with that sat outside came and asked if she had finished eating, she said that no one had even greeted her yet. She had the same server as I. I had decided on a 15% tip instead of my usual 20-25%. Then when I paid with a $50 bill the girl asked if I wanted change. When I said yes, she was visibly upset that she was not getting the 30% that remaind. She then gave change in a larger bill attempting to force a tip of 25%. No luck, I gave the $2 that remained and left. I do not ever spend this much time regarding service but maybe management would like to know why business has slowed. Who knows, maybe not!

I had drinks there several times, but not much food. Here's why:

Pictured is the $10 fried pickle appetizer I got the last time I went. That’s 11 pickle slices for $10 plus tax and tip = $12.75 ($1.28 per piece of pickle) and they weren’t good at all. Definitely not house/fresh made.

I’ve also tried the fish and chips (photo is by a different customer, Elissa Pally). The menu says dipped in “our Black and Tan beer batter”, but the three waaay-too-small fish sticks (not a larger single piece like everywhere else serves) definitely looked and tasted like they were from a freezer bag. Pretty much like Captain Ds, but much smaller pieces. There was a handful of fries. Nowhere near enough food for $18.50 (plus tax and tip = $23.59).

Other than that, every time I’ve been, the floor has been so sticky that it’ll pull your flip-flops off. The bathroom is always unclean and smells of urine, too. And the last time I went, the urinal flush valve squirted a bunch of water that hit my shirt when I used it.

Service is hit or miss. Sometimes good. Sometimes excruciatingly slow.

This place is poorly-managed and serves overpriced low-quality food.

Stopping in for after dinner drinks, we actually had fun play trivia. While we weren’t officially in the game it was fun to see if we knew the answers. A great neighborhood bar.
We visited first lunch in January enjoying their Boxty and Fish and Chips.

It was nearby while we were out shopping, stopped in not really knowing what to expect. Nice little pub/restaurant in Westchase FLA.
The wings were meaty and very crispy. I get them with their signature sauce, Irish 31.
The mac and cheese bites were what you'd expect, they were hot and cheesy. I tried the Cajun Shrimp wrap. Lots of tasty spicy shrimp. The sauce was what really made it great. My wife had the "Debbie". A grilled chicken sandwich with all the fixings. It was superb, but the house made potato chips were from another dimension. So crisp and delicious. They gave her alot, and even after we were full, we couldn't stop munching on them. Very reasonably priced. Definitely worth the visit.
Cheers.

We are just moving to the area and found this restaurant. The area is very nice, very walkable, the music was perfect and the blue cheese burger and chicken sandwiches were soooo tastyyyy!!! And The staff was very attentive. I came with my boys and they loved it too. Highly recommended sports bar/ restaurant in Westchase!

Love this place! I started going to the one in Seminole when I worked there and the Whiskey Salmon was what got me hooked! The whiskey chicken (which you see here) is just as amazing as well as the fish and chips (also pictured here).

The staff here at West Chase is amazing and the food is always delicious! It’s never a disappointment! This is a must when you’re looking for a great dinner spot or a great place to watch the games!

Solid food for an Irish pub type place. Great place to watch sports and have drinks and dinner. I love that you can get the boneless wings grilled and their hottest sauce is actually really hot, but really good!
