I was very disappointed at the flying shamrock. We went on a Thursday and there was barely anyone there(which was fine). All we ordered was wings and it took 45 minutes to get our wings. The few people that were there were only having drinks and not eating food. Once we finally got our food the wings were horrible. Most of the wings that we got were bloody and undercooked. We ended up getting a refund because they were not edible. We ordered a long island ice tea which was their drink special for the night. It was very water down and the drink was a light color. We will most likely never go there again.

I asked the young bartender if she knows how to pour a proper pint of Guinness, she replies yes but she’s too lazy to do it… really?This is the kind of mentality in this bar that insults real Irish bars in either Boston, New York and Chicago. I suggest you change the name to reflect the real cliental that has no clue what real Irish Pub hospitality or professionalism is like. The food is average and not consistent, Irish themed food only at dinner time. I won’t give them my business any longer and suggest you don’t either, wait until you go to a major city for real Irish food and hospitality.

So, I was in Goldsboro for work reasons. This was my first visit to Goldsboro. Goldsboro is in need of more downtown businesses I think, so the flying shamrock is probably a good thing for the town. I read their dinner menu and saw lots of interesting Irish dishes, so I was excited to visit. However, when I got there it was lunch, and all they had was the lunch menu, which was mostly typical pub food with tacked on Irish names. Bummer. However, they did have a corned beef sandwich, so I ate that to feel like I was getting something at least vaguely Irish. The sandwich was decent with lots of meat and all, but it didn’t knock my socks off. If I’m ever back in Goldsboro I would go to the Flying Shamrock for dinner, but not for lunch.

Located in Goldsboro downtown: not much going on around here, but it looks is one of the best places in town. It was not very busy when I got there, but, of course it was Monday evening. They have daily specials on beers, but I am Italian and I was more interested in ‘wine specials.’

Love this place… as I’ve been several times before(for which I’d give 5 stars) but tonight was beyond terrible. I know it’s St. Patrick’s day but we arrived at 4:45 and the place was very slow. Our server seated us and seemed annoyed to have a table. She knew little about the specials and nothing about the wine. When she finally returned with our drinks, she asked«what do you want to eat?» We ordered an app… and when it hadn’t arrived after 30 minutes, we inquired about it and she said«our kitchen can be pretty slow.» Really? You blame the kitchen yet you’ve not stopped by to check on us and we had to stop you? We got our app then never saw the server again… for over an hour. She didn’t even return after my wife hunted her down and asked her to stop by at «her convenience» so that we could place an order! In total, in over two hours, we got two beers, 1 glass of wine and a spinach dip… and were charged for an extra glass of wine we never got. Very disappointed. Likely will not return for a while as this was a terrible experience… or at least refuse to have that server again.

The pretzel rolls are good, VERY loud and poor service. Just because we’re not a local doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care.

THANKYOU — and not just for being the only decent bar in Goldsboro, but for actually being a great bar with good food and service! This bar/restaurant does it right… drink specials throughout the week, select micro brews on hand, trivia night on Mondays, and tasty food. They also have live music, but I haven’t been there for that yet. Bangers and Mash… I was blown away at how tasty this was. SRSLY. I’m going to get it again. The customer service has been stupendous — attentive, helpful, knowledgeable, fast, friendly.

The corned beef and cabbage is available every day now! And the BBQ corned beef sandwich is delish!

Little quiet on a Monday night. Fun talking with a couple of the patrons and the bar tender, Carrie Anne

This bar is owned by some people I know from work. They have a great selection of beer, wine, and full bar. The bartenders are awesome and are really nice and are good at remembering what you like to drink. They have a live band on Friday or Saturday night and also serve appetizers and soup and salads that are great. Every Wednesday is corned beef and cabbage that is to die for! They make it fresh and is cooked in Guiness. It sells out really quick so it’s best to get there before 6:30pm on Wedsnesdays if you want some. They also serve really good sandwiches as well. I recommend the«Flying Shamrock» which is a ruban that comes on rye or flat bread. The Shamrock also has free wi-fi in case all you college students want to study or surf the net and it is actually pretty fast. Style = 4 Food = 4 Service = 5 Price=4 Average = 4.25

The Flying Shamrock is a pretty cute bar. When I went there about a year ago, I had a good experience. My bartender, Carrie Anne, made me an awesome drink, and was also really friendly. I’d prefer to go after 10 pm, because that’s when the 40 year old + crowd trickles out.

This Irish pub opened up almost 2 years ago, and is by far one of the best additions to the city. It’s run by reservist and retired military, with a very friendly, albeit busy, wait staff. It’s got a beautifully constructed bar, with a bunch of your standard Irish posters, memorabilia, etc. on the walls and around the place. They’ve also got a couple dartboards, pool tables, and a jukebox. The tables and chairs are all made out of wood, it’s got the most authentic style of any place in Goldsboro, and the food is pretty damn good for a pub. You’re going to pay a little extra here for drinks, but the selections of beer are all served at the perfect temperature and in a glass. Shots are chilled, and all top-shelf liquors appear to be here as well. There are a series of weekly specials/events, where you can either find a deal on food/drink(Tues./Wed. night), or enjoy some tunes(live music on Fridays – usually a cover of $ 5). The place can get a little too crowded on weekends, which usually leads to long waits between drinks if you’re not aggressive about ordering. Nevertheless, this is the only Irish place in Goldsboro; that alone makes it unique, but it also happens to be one of the few places you can sit down with a group of friends and get served by a staff that really knows how to serve a beer – that makes it my bar of choice in this town.
