This is not a bad airport "pub." While there are not many food options, they have a few specialty cocktails, a full bar, and a couple of beers on draft. Service was good and the bartender was attentive during my visit. I'd come back for the spicy Bloody Mary only. He did really well with that! I wish they offered more food. Did I say that already?
This establishment is an Irish pub in name only. They do have Smithwick's, Harp and Guinness on tap (along with Bud Light), but the food and the service were both disappointing.
They had several "traditional Irish food" items listed on the menu. The reuben sandwich sounded really great judging from the description, so I ordered one. To my surprise, the server walked over to the lighted cooler at the entrance of the place where they have all of the "grab and go" pre-wrapped sandwiches and salads, she grabbed a pre-made, pre-wrapped reuben sandwich off one of the shelves, she peeled the cellophane off of it, stuck it in a sandwich press for a few minutes and served it to me on a flimsy black plastic disposable plate with a small container of cole slaw and packets of mustard and thousand island dressing. The sandwich was disappointing to say the least, and definitely nothing as tasty as the description on the menu made it out to be.
One can belly up to the bar, there's some counter seating at the windows overlooking the tarmac and several tables for 2, but no table service or waitress, so if you do want food or drinks, you must order them at the bar, then if you wish to use the seating, you must schlep your food/drinks and your bags to your table.
From the outside this place looks really inviting and a bit unique when one is used to seeing the same Mickey D's, BK and Sbarro in every airport. However, once inside, you're faced with mediocre service and food that's way below par.
It was really hot in this pub when I was here. Not sure who controls the temperature but I shouldn't be sweating when I'm sitting drinking a beer inside. Several other folks also mentioned it.
Beer is very expensive here – $9 each. Pretty shoddy selection as well as they only have five taps.
I didn't dare try the food as it appears to all be prepackaged, but they do have bags of chips that you can purchase as well.
There are a few TVs so you can catch a game while you wait for your flight.
tl/dr; this is one of the worst airport bars I have been to outside of Liberia
The tables were not clean. The bar stools were wobbly – I tried four different ones and none of them were stable. The bartender was rude. I had to point out in the crowd whom I was drinking with since I had the audacity as a person in their late 20s/early 30s to order two drinks at a time. That's never happened to me in sixteen+ years of ordering drinks at both reputable and disreputable watering holes around the world. I would like to know what even the policy behind this is – do two watered-down airport beers at $9 a pop really get people so out of control it becomes a problem? Was it something else like I had a stupid haircut or hadn't shaved because of sitting shiva? Or was the bartender just a miserable beer wench unhappy with the choices she had made in life? I think that one. Outstanding customer service there, guy.
If you're in terminal C go somewhere else for a beer. There are several other options and they are all a much better investment of time and energy if you are in need of a $9 airport drink before you get on the plane.
Not a bad place to stop off for a pint after or before a good flight, but not much different from the other bars within the airport. I was hoping for more I guess, not really sure why since you don't see many Irish in sunny places lol.

It's a crime to have "Guinness" in the title of this hell hole. Surly staff, sticky counters, and overpriced drinks. Hooray.

Pretty terrible.
