Went for trivia night the past two months. Love the dedication from the hosts they put on a great show. Bartenders are cool and the guinness is solid. Have really enjoyed all the food I've had here too. Fun spot overall.

Snug, cozy little Irish bar close to Gaelic Park. About 8 or 9 outdoor tables for at least 4 ppl, including a couple of 6 person picnic tables. Was there on a nice weather late September Saturday afternoon. Sat outside with the bride & another couple. Very nice Guinness pints. Service was good. Both couples each split a burger & curry chicken. Both dishes very good. Wish my local was this good.

The food was fine but this might be the best bloody Maria I’ve ever had. Super balanced, the right spicy. I might come back here just for one of those

Took a trip up to Riverdale for lunch. Met a friend up there who recommended Au Beal Bocht cafe. An absolutely adorable little place. A short walk from the subway.(Up a very steep staircase) Very charming place. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Had to wait a bit for a table. There was a large party in back that I believe took up a lot of the seating this place has. Food was great. We had the traditional Irish breakfast and the omelette special they had. Delicious! Brunch came with a free drink. We got the mimosa. It came in a medium size ball jar! It was yummy and left me with a nice buzz. I totally recommend this place. If you're up in Riverdale or wanting to visit definitely stop here for your meal.

Honestly had a great time in this bar. I got some wings and fries, and they were good. My experience was great until someone nearby was complaining about the cheesecake. But realistically, who orders cheesecake at a bar?

Came here for brunch and I really loved it! Ordered the American breakfast which came with bacon, eggs, home fries and toast. Was delicious and priced very well. The atmosphere was cute and they even had live music in the other room. The staff is super nice and accommodating.

What a wonderful restaurant and bar/pub. It's filled floor to ceiling with ambiance. You get very personal service from the amazing staff (sometimes in that uniquely Irish way). The food is better than the traditional basic pub fair. They have a great dinner menu with Shepard's Pie and the lot. Today I had the Chicken sandwich with a side of fries. It was very fresh, and the bread cracked slightly as I bit into it. This is a must for a toasted bread. If you're in the neighborhood, please, please stop by and enjoy An Beal Bocht. They have both indoor and heated outside seating!
