Reviews
Food was great, service was very friendly and attentive. Great ambiance and felt like a great local pub to pop in for a pint and a good chin wag with friends. Unfortunately we were only visiting the area, but that didn't prevent the waitress from including us in helping them settle a debate they were having about US geography!
I love that Madra Rua rebuilt after the fire and kept everything exactly the same inside. That old Irish bar feel is what makes the place so great. I do love the addition of the outdoor patio too. I've been in a bunch but recently stopped in and had some Irish nachos and corned beef and cabbage, which was fantastic. The service was great and since it was a beautiful day out, it was pretty slow inside. I do miss that they close at 12 now instead of two because it was one of my favorite late night hangouts but maybe they'll change that in the future.
The outside patio is usually where we land at Madra Rua but the thick humid air of Charleston in September drove us to the traditional classic Irish Pub offering a comfy cool inside table by the bar. While the food is always consistent and delicious, the corned beef and cabbage was exceptional. We received a generous portion of corned beef so tender and delicious surrounded by delicious mashed potatoes and yummy seasoned cabbage. It was just like sitting around our table at home. Our server was very friendly and attentive keeping the beverages flowing for us as needed. It's such a pleasure to have Madra Rua available in Park Circle so close to home without having to fight the traffic and parking issues downtown.
Longstanding Irish Pub here, my buddy used to own this one and the one in Summerville. Decent Irish food, along with traditional English. Darts and drinks paired with a huge portion of shepherds pie!
A nice place for a meal with a good selection of beer. The booth seating was great for having a conversation and not having to shout. It was pretty busy on a Monday night. Service was very good and portions hearty
