Inconsistent labeling of vegan food - Edit
Most of the vegetarian and vegan dishes aren't labeled. I came here twice. The first time I asked if the black bean burger was vegan/could be made vegan and they said yes.
Read moreThe 2nd time I tried to order it, the server asked the kitchen whether it could be vegan and they said no. I probably unwillingly consumed dairy here the first time I was here.
Some (vegan) people in the reviews also mention that they had the veg Sheppard's pie. The server told me they use milk in the mashed potatoes.
I eventually had the vegan Guinness stew, which I didn't really like.
I'm not sure if my server the 2nd time didn't put in effort to veganize vegetarian dishes, or my server the first time (and other reviewers' servers) tell you something is vegan when it isn't. Either way, I would not recommend going here.

Irish ambience - Edit
A very nice Irish pub with vegetarian and vegan options. Order the shepherds pie and was really nice, but wish I’d try the black bean burger (next time).

Vegan Irish food?! Sign me up! - Edit
Sooo yummy! A whole vegetarian portion of the menu most of which can be made vegan! I got the vegan shephards pie, they used lentils instead of meat, and O M G it was to die for. The mashed potatoes were incredible and so was the filling. Totally gonna go back!

What a great surprise - Edit
It's so easy to have an Irish pub experience and filling your stomach with good eats. The vegan and vegetarian items are clearly labeled on the menu (as are the gluten free items BTW). Lots of stew choices. Cheers!

great veg options in a fun pub - Edit
my vegetarian friend and i (vegan) visited the burren on st patty's day weekend. the atmosphere is fun and the staff is friendly! they have a front room with a small stage for live music, a quieter hallway area with booths, and a large back room for shows. my friend had the chickpea burger, which she said was ok, but my vegan burger was DELICIOUS!! it came with a fresh side salad too. we loved that the veg items were clearly labeled on the menu. i will definitely be back to try more of their veg items like soup and meze. sláinte!!

Cons: may be hard to find a table if busy
