What People Are Saying About Ireland's 32

Featured Review

The Scene – Harp signs, Killian flags and a Colin Farrell sound-alike bartender help create the closest thing to Dublin one can find in the Valley. Sports are playing constantly, with TVs situated so every seat boasts good sightlines. Open pretty much all day, the stools are often occupied by regulars, accentuating the neighborhood feel. Fortunately, residential love hasn't created a locals-only attitude often found at similar places. – – The Draw – Most nights feature live entertainment, from karaoke to Monday Night Live, an anything-goes open mic, once featuring some…

Decent Irish pub

by Fivedollaholla

I like this place...it's cozy, has a definitely dive bar feel (but good clientele) and they have live music but at 6 bucks a pint I can't afford to drink here on a regular basis. They have a happy hour, but the beer is still 6 bucks a pint....WTF?? Also, sometimes their Guiness tastes a bit "off".....never a good thing for an Irish Bar! Maybe Colin Farrell needs to spend more time cleaning the lines?

The Smithwicks always tastes fresh though so I give them props for that.

  • Pros: Smithwicks on tap. Reasonably price food
  • Cons: 6 dollars a pint

Great Valley Secret

by CinnerJ

My friend's mother used to do Irish dance performances at this place when she was a kid; that's how long its been around! Comfortable atmosphere, incredibly friendly and experienced staff, and some great Irish beers and whiskeys. Live music almost every night, and incredible fish n chips round this place out for me. Crowded but not uncomfortable on Fri and Sat nights, and full of old Irish lads and 20's college students, this is an awesome, relaxed mixing of people and backgrounds. The only strange times were karaoke nights (check website for schedule), but they're not really for me anyway.

  • Pros: Atmosphere, Drinks, Music
  • Cons: Karaoke Night

Irelands 32

by agaelami

I have been reading the other reviews about Irelands 32. I am quite frankly confused What did you order for $11.00 ? I feel they may have been confused with another place. The prices are reasonable. The music has something for everyone. Authenticity well they have that too. If you know what you looking for it can be found there.

fun atmosphere, great live music

by californiameaghan

the band that was playing the night we went was so authentically an irish folk band it isnt even funny. my irish roommate played me some of his folk music and it sounded exactly the same. drinking a pint, watching rugby and listening to them made for an inexpensive trip to ireland. we loved it!

  • Pros: live music, great atmosphere
  • Cons: limited parking

Real drinks, Real people, try the fish & chips and Guiness on tap

by tilwemeetagain

This bar is as authentic an Irish pub as you are going to find in the Valley. This is an Irish owned, Irish run, Craic lovin' bar. Great prices, even better bartenders and good atmospere. Lots of locals, but welcoming to newcomers. Yes, some of the bands can be a bit dull, but others are fantastic and they all manage to get the regulars up and dancing. The food is good. You have to try the FISH and CHIPS. Try the KNAPPOGUE single malt with a Guiness back and you won't be sorry. Vicki, Marty, Alan, Donal will not disappoint... and if you are looking for a real Irish sing-along, try Sunday evenings (you might just get lucky). The pretentious, trendy-worshipping crowd need not bother.
