What People Are Saying About Ned Devine's

Citysearch
In Short – In a part of town that's chock full of stuffy Irish bars, Ned Devine's stands out because of its sunny sidewalk patio. The interior's quaint, rustic touches--exposed brick walls, dark wood furniture and wrought iron railings--yield a designer tavern atmosphere. Tourists and college students sample from the bar's varied selection of draught beers, and those looking to nosh enjoy hearty pub fare like Guinness beef stew and fish-and-chips.

college crowd, loud, hot and noisy

i've been here several times and it seems to get worse each time! the crowd is younger, and as a result obnoxious and annoying. you will always have to pay a cover - $10 - which is ridiculous to me. the drinks are tiny and in little plastic cups. you'll wait forever to check your coat, and if you get there later, you'll wait forever to even get inside. they have live music which can be mediocre. if you like dressing up and meeting professional, good looking people - ned devine's is NOT the place to go.
- Pros: are there any?
- Cons: always a cover, uncomfortable atmosphere

Do Not Go Here, Go Elsewhere

This place loves to hire the rudest, most illiterate people. It's always a disappointing time and you're always treated like you've done something wrong whenever you approach the staff. Even just asking where the bathrooms are yields crass, curt answers. Here's one brief example for you - As I was nearing the bar, a belligerent girl (who looked underage) cut me off to stand at an open spot at the bar. I joked with her that she owed me a drink for cutting me. She turned around and yelled "I work here, I can do whatever I want!" Aside from the fact that being an employee she should never get in the way of paying customers, she then proceeded to engage in conversation with another employee, completely ignoring me and blocking me from the bar. As I tried to go by her to order my drink, she yelled "What's your problem? Just tell me what you want and I'll have the bartender get it for you." Still not understanding the need for the hostility, I told her the drink I wanted because she asked me. The bartender gave her the drink and she told him it was for me. The bartender proceeded to yell at me, saying that I must be too good to wait in line for a drink like everyone else and instead ask employees to order drinks for me. As I tried to explain how that was not the case at all (and that I had actually waited longer than everyone else), a bouncer came up from behind me and told me to take my drink and get lost. For the record, this was my second drink, so I was not drunk and this story is not exaggerated. What a horrible bar. Why pay exorbitant amounts of money at a place that always makes you feel like a low-life? It is a horrible establishment that does not deserve one penny of your hard-earned money.
- Pros: Decent entertainment
- Cons: Pretty much everything

staff wasterribly unprofessional and rude, lost my credit card refused any wrong doing only to find it later that night after I canceled it.

I went to ned devines to have dinner on a saturday night around 8 pm. We went early to avoid the ridiculous line and cover. On arrival we had to pay a 5 dollar cover charge to eat dinner. Is this bar that prestigious that it can charge you a fee to eat crappy pub food. the bar couldn't accomadate our whole party with a table so I decided to eat appetizers at the bar. After eating and ordering drinks and 2 hours sitting at the bar I tried to close my tab and the bartender had misplaced my card. He claimed that I never gave it to him and became belligerent. When we asked to speak to a manager we were yelled at and told there was nothing he could do and to "figure it out for yourself". The bartender wouldn't even look through the stack of cards, he claimed I was never put into the computer. Finally I was able to speak with who I think was the floor manager, he gave me the same story, offered to go upstairs to check the records only after he accused me of trying to pull a scam on the bar. After about an hour of run around he came to the conclusion that my card was given to someone else by mistake. The said there was nothing they could do and then ushered us out of the bar. The manager was unprofessional, crude, and treated us like belligerent lowlifes. it was unacceptable. I gave my information and was given a phone number where I could reach the manager the next day. I immediately canceled my card and left for home. We called later that night to further complain and learned that they had my card all along. So I canceled it for nothing. What an inconvenience, I will never go back to that place ever again.
- Pros: big bar lots of space
- Cons: terrible staff
