Named after the mining town in County Roscommon, Arigna was where the last working coal mine in Ireland was located for 400 years until 1990. The town was where “hard work” was defined by its true grit people, much like the town of Bellingham. Arigna Irish Pub & Coal Fire Kitchen is another Premium Irish Sports Pub brought to you from the same owners of Murphy’s Law Irish Pub also located in Pawtucket, RI & North Providence. In the same tradition, Arigna boasts a finely crafted Premium Irish Pub rich in wood & stone work. This attention to detail is seen, felt and tasted throughout your experience at Arigna. From the 27 draught beers, 25 HDTVs, live music and the show piece Coal Fired Pizza Oven feeding our Irish Pub inspired menu.

Reviews
We sat down and were immediately accosted by the insane volume of the commercials blaring between plays, it felt like it was supposed to be a jarring experience that mimics being at Gillete stadium. The noise fluctuated between power washer and silence, and was briefly replaced by imagine dragons which honestly is not much better.
All that aside, we ordered drinks, and two appetizers. The appetizers were missing elements of importance such as dressing on the Caesar salad and blue cheese for the pork wings. No big deal, easy to fix. We pressed on and ordered two sandwiches.
The reuben was fantastic, no complaints, honestly amazing.
The Sriracha fish wrap was uninspired & devoid of any sort of flavor, care, and funny enough, sriracha. It was the definition of mid, and it wouldn’t take much more time / effort to actually make it decent for this menu. My fiancé took a bite of the wrap, made a face, I proceeded to try the wrap, and made the same face. We set that aside to make sure it was returned, and we split the reuben.
At this point, the server stopped by and we told them about the wrap, they said no problem, and took the wrap away. We did not see the server for the rest of the night, and did not end up getting any refills to deal with the intense volume. It was so loud we were laughing and couldn’t even hear each other from across the table. Our original plan was to have a few drinks and get desert as well (looking at you desert apple pizza) but we didn’t make it that far.
We got the bill, and the fish wrap was still present on the final tab. I asked if this could be removed, and was met with a blank stare, followed by, and I quote… “Uhhh you did kinda eat it though, sooo”… WE ONLY TOOK TWO BITES! The server was unmoved, and just walked away with our credit card, and actually my phone as well which had the gift card on it. That was a first for me having to hand my unlocked phone over to a stranger but hey, it’s Bellingham right?
At this point, the thought of waiting for a manager to come over and actually deal with the situation properly was lunacy, due to the now blaring lung cancer commercial with a guy coughing for 2 minutes straight, I know its not their fault but it absolutely didn’t help the situation. We paid and left.
We are pretty reasonable folk, and we totally understand the need to charge for food that was enjoyed/eaten, but sadly that was not the case tonight. We only ended up trying a portion of the menu, and did not try the pizza, but it is hard to recommend coming back here solely based on the service alone.
A few other fun items to note…
When we asked for curry sauce with our fries, our server seemed hesitant to want to upsell us on this, stating multiple times it would cost extra. We persisted and assured them we are able to pay the extra 2$. Curry sauce was really good so glad we broke through.
Speaking of curry sauce, another server came out and told us our “soup” was ready, and we thought they were at the wrong table. But no, this was the curry, with a side of oyster crackers interestingly enough. Again, curry itself was hot and delicious, but I have a feeling that the wait staff at this restaurant are really not trained well / don’t go to restaurants themselves so are unsure of how to act. I love experiencing people’s first day on earth.
Truly, I think this restaurant can be a great place, and we are saddened about our experience, as we love Irish influenced food and supporting local business. We want to try again, but we will need to give it quite some time. Maybe not on a Sunday during the football season… If I wanted to listen to the TV on max volume while watching the patriots, I would just hang out with my father in law in the living room.
