We wanted our name to tell a lot about our pub. The Curragh is headquarters of Flat Racing in Ireland. Written evidence of racing dates back to the third century when chariot races were held at the “Cuireach” — the Gaelic word for racecourse — on the lands known today as the Curragh Racecourse and Training Grounds. The Curragh hosts all five Classic Races and up to thirteen other quality race days annually. It is owned by the Irish Turf Club, founded in Kildare in the 1760’s.
Irish horse-racing-themed pub offers 5 spaces for dining, drinking & dancing to live Irish tunes.

Great experience on a Saturday night, place was pretty busy, regardless good prompt service and good came out quickly and piping hot. Loved the beer cheese soup to start, and I would highly recommend the Shepards pie if you’re in the mood for comfort food. It was a generous portion and the Reuben sandwich was also huge. I’d come back!

My daughter and I did a mini roadtrip up to Hollad from South Bend. Decided to give this restaurant a try. We sat outside and the hostesses were great, friendly. Our waitress was okay and we wish we would of had one that was more attentive or organized. I dont know if she was newish or just not organized in her orders. I ordered waters for us and a appetizer of mozzarella sticks. My daughter ordered the apple cider drink and it was brought out quickly. The mozzarella sticks were really good, possibly the best I’ve had. Our waitress stopped by again to take our order. Then about 30 minutes later came back asked how our sticks were then said “you guys didn’t order dinners so is there anything else I can get you?” I said “Yes, we did order entrées.” She couldn’t find where she wrote them down. So I told her what we ordered. She then said “oh I don’t think I put that in yet, I’ll go do it now.” Our food came out about 5 minutes later. She never refilled our waters or asked my daughter if she wanted another apple cider drink. She came and asked how everything was and if we needed anything. I asked if we could have a couple more napkins like 2 or 3 more. She told me “if I have time I will”. Okay cool never got them. The food was delicious and we will definitely come back for the food. It was busy as it was a Saturday afternoon but all the servers were busy and attentive to their tables.

A nice spot downtown. All the locals tell me its worth a stop. I think they’re right. Nice outdoor dining if the weather permits. Interesting decor inside. Portions are large, prices are moderate. I enjoyed it and would be back. The staff was ok, a little understaffed and slow but they did well. The shepherds pie and the veggie, pita, and cheese appetizer was fantastic.

The restaurant was very clean !! When we went there was NO wait . Our waitress was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about the menu. My wife was struggling on which soup option to pick (she went with the beer cheese on the waitresses recommendation) only to have the waitress bring a dipping cup of the other soup option so ” she knows what the other soup is like next time”. Portion sizes were very generous and the prices reasonable. Highly recommended

We both ordered the strawberry blackened salmon – VERY GOOD. The entire plate would 10/10 recommend. I don’t know what they did to those mashed potatoes but they were deciduous, the veggies had flavor, and the salmon had a very yummy, unique flavoring. Not too fish, perfect flavor.

We were here on vacation and decided on here for lunch. Despite being near end of September the weather was fine and sunny so we sat outside. The service was good as was the food and the Magners cider! I was certainly stuffed after what we were served for our lunch so dinner later was a light snack.

The Curragh Irish Pub is true to its name. Irish food at the core of the menu and an extensive drink menu, especially for beer drinkers. We enjoyed lunch on the patio on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and our party of 6 started with the artichoke spinach dip served with corn chips and bread along with hummus served with a lot of veges and pita. Burgers and other sandwiches were good. Stew and soup received less favorable reviews. Service friendly and very relaxed, taking over 90 minutes start to finish. Bathrooms downstairs and stair treads are buckled. Elevator not particularly wheelchair friendly. Nice place for lunch and happy they had a table readily available for a fairly large party right away.

Excellent food & good service. They sat us in an area with no other customers that they said wasn’t open at the time. When they found us a few minutes later, apologized and were sure to take great care of us. Parking’s usually no issue around the back, but a few days to Tulip Time and we had to circle around twice to find a spot. A bit pricey for me personally, but thankfully they list prices on their website unlike some other restaurants. I will absolutely be going back.

My wife and I stopped by, after ice skating, and were instantly greeted. We were sat, by the fireplace, and able to warm up (the staff saw us freezing and knew we needed to thaw out). We ordered the wings, as an appetizer, and they were delicious. The bleu cheese is some of the best we’ve ever had. I ordered the steak and it was cooked to perfection. My wife ordered the black and tan sandwich and she said it was also tasty. I was especially glad to see some signature mocktails! They were full of flavor and complimented the meal. The staff/service were excellent. Our server was attentive but didn’t hover around us. We are from Kalamazoo and will be making a point to come back just because there are so many different menu items we’d like the try. If you’re in the area, stop in and treat yourself to some delicious food and friendly service!

A great Irish Pub! If you’re looking for some incredibly awesome food in Holland, Michigan, this place should be on your list. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the seating area outside was very nice. Our whipped feta appetizer was delicious. We’ll definitely be making that at home sometime soon. The pita bread and veggies served with it were equally as delicious. If you don’t try it, you’re missing out on something incredible. My Irish Stew was also very good. I’d definitely order it again. My wife’s pork chops were also very good along with her potatoes and mixed vegetables.
I’m not sure when we’ll be back in Holland, but this will definitely be on our list of places to go. It’s too good to miss.
