Courigan’s Irish Pub

Oh this is a great late night place to eat we just discovered it. The bartenders, Kalena and Jeff were super friendly and the food was really good. We ate some typical Irish fair; you know corn beef and cabbage and a Ruben it was very delicious I would definitely recommend this place.

I love this place for the following reasons: shepherds pie, ladies night, live music, ladies night, good service, oh – and did I mention ladies night?! Seriously though, good service, good beer selection, and a laidback vibe make it one of my favorites.

I went to Courigans Irish Pub in Downtown St. Pete tonight, had a mixed experience. The music was loud but they had a fun trivia night going on. I had the French Onion Soup and it should’ve been called Warm Worcestershire Water because that’s what it tasted like. I will be back sometime for drink and will try something else, but was ultimately disappointed with my visit.

Wandered in here from the Saturday market. $ 5 bloody marys and nice menu. We got the spicy steak wrap and sampler appetizer. The food was much better than average pub fare and the bartenders were attentive and engaging. I would recommend this to my friends.

Poutine, guiness and a tuna tataki caesar hit the spot at this off the beaten path irish bar down by the water. Great place to go before or after Dali and weekend saturday market. Wish we were in town longer to try the reuben pizza and guiness glazed lamb chops.

Courigans is a great local Irish spot in the heart of the action in downtown St Pete. They have great food and a huge selection of brews to choose from. They also have an outdoor patio that is just one block front the bay and next to a park. Definitely check it out if you around. Cheers

We eat here at least twice each week. Pizza makes a great dinner for two (usually end up with leftovers). My family loves the wings. Beer is always cold and service is top notch. Not liking the new beer cheese recipe. Would like more variety on the menu. Service is great and it is more of a locals bar than tourist trap. Best for lunch or early dinner.

Love the beers and the fries with cheese and gravy are amazing. Fun spot with mostly locals.

Courigans has been my go to place for Weds. entertainment. They have trivia on Wes with Shannon hosting, which is a lot of fun.
The service is hit or miss, sometimes they are on it but other times they
forget about you or they are understaffed.
As for the food again, it’s also hit or miss. Sides aren’t very good. The beer cheese when they first changed the menu, you could taste the beer, it tasted like beer cheese and wasn’t so soupy as it was the last time I ordered it. They changed the recipe so it’s not as good.
So if you’re going just to grab a beer and meet people or hang with friends, courigans is good for that. They also have live music, which can be fun

3 stars for the beer selection and location
I’ve been going to Courigans for years now though only as a change-​of-​pace. The interior is dark with a bar crowded with beer taps. I think they have around 30 different taps including Guiness (of course). A few years ago I made the mistake of ordering some of their apps. They were pretty bad back then but I’m thinking that must have changed because I ordered the corned beef poppers and they were delicious. I’m not a huge fan of fried food but we tore through those poppers. Gotta love corned beef and creamy cheese !! Still, the prices are way too high for a draft beer ($ 6) even with the measly $.95 off for happy hour ($ 5)

As a single man, I prefer to drink alone. I like to meet new and random people and converse about things such as fine cheeses and foreign economies. And while I was a bit overdressed in a corduroy jacket and silk cravat, I still felt welcomed at what was a nice, quaint Irish-​themed establishment nestled in the base of the Bayfront Tower at the Southern tip of Beach Drive. As I sat down, I was warmly greeted by a lovely girl named Sarah and her even lovelier counterpart named Jeffy Weffy. Mr. Weffy has ambitions of starting his own establishment one day and it only took a few tilts of the distilled spirits to see that passion in his pouring. I suggested that J Wef, as I colloquially called him, should have a drink special called the J bomb (instead of car bomb). I can assure you that many a chuckle and the appreciation of alliteration of Jäger and Jeffy was not lost. I perused the selection of fine American craft beers and found an India Pale Ale to my liking, which was pedestrian as they had so many from which to select.
My attentions then turned to the television as they were showing a sporting event with a funny shaped ball and men in tiny shorts. I was told that this was Australian Rules Football. I asked the fair Sarah how the game was played and sat in amazement as every rule was clearly explained to me. No running of the ball? Delightful! Upon asking her how she came upon these rules, she informed me that not only did she live abroad carefully absorbing the rules, but the love of the sport as well. In fact, my instruction was later tested as she quizzed me in front of other curious patrons.
After a few ale’s, it was time to depart. I waved fondly at Sarah and Mr. Weffy as I knew that I would see them both again soon. My time was very pleasant and they were both a delight. But more importantly, the Sydney Swans beat Port Adelaide 94 to 84.

They get 5 stars for having Crispin cider. Good food, great prices, friendly service!

So if you have ever been to the Saturday morning market you might have gotten a bit parched. This is a great little pub if you need a cold beer or a bloody Mary or even an Irish Whiskey flight this is the place. The service is good, my only complaint of this bar is the location it is located at the southend of Beach dr if you are at Sat morning market is in the perfect spot, however, it is a small hike if not. The food is decent pub grub.

Went back here a couple months ago and had a much better visit.
They had a good selection of beers and our server/​bartender was very friendly and good with suggestions. Until shift change, when the obligatory bimbo came on duty and apparently was more interested in eating her carrot sticks then actually waiting on customers.
We opted for the French onion soup,($ 4.50) which was some of the best French onion soup we’ve had. Also tried the corned beef poppers,($ 8.5) which were really good as well. Better than the Rueben rolls at the other Irish place downtown.
Not being able to decide between the pizza or a burger we got both. His burger ($ 9)was nicely chargrilled and served on an English muffin. Really good flavor I’ve been craving a good chargrilled burger every since. The pizza ($ 11.50) we got was the Mediterranean pizza with grilled chicken, fresh basil, two cheeses and a balsamic reduction. Quite good, get it without the balsamic if you’re not into that.
Good food, semi good service, very casual place, limited seating though. Id recommend going on off hours if you want to avoid the crowd

Went there because we were looking for a place to do Happy Hour that had a TV. When we sat ourselves, we waited for a few minutes before a server told us «I guess I can wait on you– what do you want to drink?» We ordered beverages, which were good, and the pretzel bites & beer cheese, also good. Only problem is– we didn’t see her again until my mom went to the bar to find our tab. We all would have ordered another round, but she didn’t check back with us.
It says Irish Pub outside– I guess that means you name a bunch of drinks after places in Ireland and hang Guinness & Jameson paraphernalia on your walls. Missing the point of the Irish Pub…

I love this place. I’ve been coming here for 8 years, and it just keeps getting better. The food has always been good. The menu is a good size, and I have yet to eat something I didn’t like. The beer selection is pretty large.
The bar staff here are great. They do a great job of handling large groups and getting a beer isn’t a problem on a busy night. They often have live music.
Just one of my favorite bars.

kickass food great atmosphere we had 24 people and everyone got fed and it was alot of fun

The only redeeming quality with Courigan’s is their BREAKFAST SHOT. Why, you ask? Because they give you a damn hot shot of bacon with it. It truly is amazing and worth coming back for, again and again. Other than the shot, this place can sink along with the «million dollar» pier as far as I’m concerned. The staff is attentive, but a little air-​headed. The walls are covered in Irish-​looking shit to make the place FEEL «Irish.» And they don’t have any clue on how to make an old fashioned. They put tonic in there? WHY??? It tasted like shit. When I sent mine back, the server looked CONFUSED, as if I was violating some cocktail ethics code by asking for it without the soda water.
I’ll probably be back, but just for the shot and to keep it moving.

I’d classify this as another one of the little hole-​in-​the wall places of St. Pete. This is a pretty chill place with lots of space and a good place to grab a good lunch. The prices are decent and the pizzas are one of the best things on the menu. Now, if you are looking for a good place to drink with friends and get some good drunken fried food, then this too is the place to go. Featuring a «mug» club and a pretty good Irish feel, Courigans’ offers live music, some TV’s to watch your favorite game, and even a couple games to keep you busy.
I’ve always had good interactions with the friendly staff and the location is out of the busy and craziness of the middle of downtown.
A hidden gem and a must try!

Not really an Irish pub. Maybe it could call itself an American pub with some Irish décor? Had food here that was less than authentic, but wasn’t horrible. It’s priced fairly. They have a good selection of beers and drink specials. Overall, not a place of run to or run from– it was just average.
