What People Are Saying About Tom Bergin's Tavern

The Scene – With walls plastered over in years' worth of paper-shamrock tradition, this dark pub is after-work casual and perfect for tossing back pints and watching the game (local sports reign). Not much has changed since the famous Bergin namesake passed ownership to Vodrey in 1973: Bergin's still banks on its authentic homemade Irish menu, a friendly whiskey-primed staff, and a crew of old-time regulars who have been accruing Guinness tabs since the place first opened more than 50 years ago. – – The Draw – How Fairfax attracts the frat crowd is a mystery, but pack…

Great Service and Friendly Atmosphere
by celticowboy at Citysearch
A Fine pub. Engaging Bartenders and smooth Guinness. The pub grub is superb, not costly and served promptly. Need more real Irish Tunes in the Juke -- recommend Gaelic Storm, Clancy Bro's, Christy Moore, The Wolftones...
- Pros: Valet Parking is great
- Cons: Not enough Trad Irish on the Jukebox

Rude bartender
by kpk1179 at Citysearch
I live within walking distance of Bergins and unfortunately I will NEVER go in this pub again. The bartender who I believe was named Jeffery was incredibly rude. I was with 2 out of town guest (male and female) and when my male guest asked for the drink that he had ordered approx. 10 minutes prior the bartender became irate. He began yelling and told my guest that he didnt order a drink. It got to the point where the other bartender had to restrain the irate bartender. I was shocked and extremely disappointed because prior to this incident I was telling my guest that it was a good pub. I would not recommend this pub and they lost my business forever.
- Pros: Close to my house
- Cons: RUDE BARTENDER

Great Irish Pub
by leschnei at Citysearch
I really like this place. For years, I have wanted to go here (because it looks so interesting from the outside) and I wasn't disappointed. The atmosphere was fun and casual, full of people from all age groups. It had a community aura about it. The food was good. I would have liked it if they had had a couple more beers on tap but they had the important ones (Smithwick's and Guinness).
- Pros: valet parking, good food, great atmosphere
The Details on Tom Bergin's Tavern
Parking:
Valet's the best way--parking on this busy strip of Fairfax can be a nightmare.
Look Good:
The Monday and Tuesday night shamrock-hanging tradition began in 1950. Ask the bartender for a shamrock; after you've had 15 drinks, you can join the list of sacred Shamrock-holders including Cary Grant, Ronald Reagan and Mr. Tom Bergin himself.
Happy Hour:
Monday-Friday, 5pm-7pm.
