Lillie's Reviews List

Lillie's

An Irish-Victorian Bar and Restaurant, just steps from Union Square. In the "Ladies' Mile District" of days gone by. The interior has a distinctly late 19th century feel with wooden furnishings brought from Belfast, Ireland.
Serving a wide range of domestic and international beers (20 on tap and 30 bottled). A great selection of whiskeys and wines, including some excellent wine from the Langtry Winery in California where Lillie herself owned and lived for a time.

The food is traditional Pub Fare, including soups, salads, stews, fish and steaks. The Irish Breakfast is served all day. Brunch at the weekends from 11am to 4pm.

Traditional Irish music session on Saturdays at 4pm.

"I met friends for lunch. We enjoyed our meal but found the seating torturous! If you want a quick bite you'll find it here but comfort was lacking. We would not return inspite of the reasonable priced and good menu."

"This is one of my favorite places to grab a drink with friends after work or to spend a few hours on the weekend for brunch. The food is great and the atmosphere is welcoming. One of my favorite things is the bar itself. It it impressive and large, it runs almost the length of the restuarant. They also have a great deal if you check in on Yelp you get a free drink. I don't hate it!"

"Lillies 12 dollar lunch specials are amazing! The service can be a little slow, but mostly because they are always packed at lunch. Because everyone loves previously mentioned lunch specials."
