We went here to have an early dinner (5pm) as a group of 5 including our twin 10 year olds. This location is a little awkward to find, but we trusted our GPS and found it without any incident. The parking is a free lot. Note the building is old and the parking is sloped. If you go on an icy day, it may be difficult for an elderly person. There was parking available when we arrived, but when we left it was pretty full. Its got the feel of a traditional Irish pub, old wood in a warm space on this fall evening. We ended up sitting in the pub in a corner booth vs a table in the main restaurant and really enjoyed the atmosphere. They have children’s menus so it should be enjoyable for all ages. We had a wide array of dishes. I had the prime rib (Saturday special), my wife had a chicken pot pie, my daughter had roasted salmon, and my son had chicken tenders. My prime rib was fantastic. I was debating between it and Shepard pie, and our server said it’s not really a competition and to get the prime rib. I certainly would go back, and would recommend checking it out if you happen to be near it.

We’ve passed by 100 times and decided to finally try it.
It’s a pretty large group (kids and adults) and we were truthfully a bit loud (no alcohol).
The manager came over and angrily told us to be quiet.
What kind of an Irish pub would it be without a rowdy crowd!
Food was ok, but that manager annoyed us.

I’ve driven past the Irish Inn at Glen Echo more times than I can count. One of those places you clock, file away, and promise yourself you’ll get to someday. Someday finally showed up. Date night. No grand plan. We slid into the pub instead of the dining room because that’s where places like this tell you who they really are.
Two stools at the bar. Cold beer arrived without ceremony, the way it should. The room hummed in that low, comforting way, old friends leaning in, coworkers decompressing, bartenders who clearly know who drinks what and why. It felt less like a restaurant and more like a well-worn living room that happens to pour a proper pint.
I’ll admit it: expectations for the food were modest. Then we read the menu. Deviled eggs. Wings. Shepherd’s pie. You don’t overthink choices like that, you just say yes. And suddenly, it wasn’t just bar food; it was care. Everything hit the table fast, but nothing felt rushed. The shepherd’s pie in particular demanded attention, rich but not heavy, deeply flavored, the kind of dish that makes you slow down without realizing you’ve done it. I took my time. I’ll be thinking about that pie for a while.
If you’re passing through Glen Echo, don’t just pass through. Stop. Sit at the bar. Have a pint. Eat something honest. Let the place do what it’s been quietly doing all along.

Looks very much like an Irish pub with it’s monotonous Irish music. The food is very good though. The burger was excellent and the fries perfect. The service was fine and the price fair. The place is half a restaurant and half pub. There is also an outdoor extension of the pub which must be delightful in the good weather. Will definitely go back

I’ve been trying to find the atmosphere of a pub for a while now, and whilst this one is a bit on the costly end of the pubs of my childhood, it comes the closest so far on this end of the pond
The people are lovely, the food is delicious, and the barman, Enrique, is an absolute maniac-in the best possible way. You could power a city block on his enthusiasm and love of the place and clientele. I believe I even heard one of the gents walking about with an Irish accent,-but didn’t want to impose myself any more than I already was!
I’ve been eating with friends there for years. Another pal of mine plays live Irish music there. It’s a nice piece of home, in its own uniquely American way (meaning the sports on the telly are local, etc).
I was a doorman for years, and this place will never need that. It’s got the safety of a small neighborhood, with presumably Glen Echo as its small makeshift country village. Most are personable. and come to exhale and laugh unpretentiously
That said, I did find a few from Silver Spring on the bar end of the equation; and opted to eat there rather than sit in the more formal restaurant..
Try the fish and chips, or the mahi mahi!!❤️

The Irish Inn is an amazing spot! It’s a perfect place to stop at after some hiking at C&O, Turkey Run Trail or Scott’s Run Nature Preserve. I’ve only come twice now with my dogs, but will continue doing so. Both people I believe are managers are so friendly – the kind woman brought water bowls for each of my pups and the sweet gentlemen brought a piece of bacon for them both. Eliezer has been our server both times and he is extremely kind as well! The other customers are very friendly. 10/10 would recommend and will continue to come back after hiking since it’s only ~30 minutes back to DC.

Updated : Second time coming here for brunch, the food was good, however they added a 21% of tip for 4 adults?
Great drafts and atmosphere, surrounded by greenery. The fish and chips is excellent and tastes the closest to London among the pubs I’ve tried in the DMV. Service is a bit slow, in a chillax kind of style. Would recommend.

Went there for Valentine’s day and were out of oysters and their tenderloin option by 830 pm. Ok, fine. Got their NY strip substitution and the scallops. Both by themselves. Also got a dirty martini and an old fashion. Dirty martini, far from what it was supposed to be. Old Fashioned, all bitters. Food comes, beef option completely unseasoned. Used the salt and pepper on the table to fix it. Scallops dish you ask? A shoe connected to the only scallop that could classify as a u-12 as advertised. Comp on the scallops dish. Offered a dessert. No thanks, not after I had a shoe connected to my scallop. They are EASY to clean and see. Would never go back.

We went there 2 different times in the last 4 months. 1st time in the Fall.we had Shepherds Pie and Beef Stroganoff.Both were very tasty. We went back recently and ordered Broiled Rockfish and Rack of Lamb.Both were poorly seasoned and overcooked. My wife mentioned it to our waiter and he replied:”Ok.I’ll tell the Chef.”End of story! Wouldn’t go back again.

A friend called at 6:30 on New Year’s Eve and asked if I wanted to join her for dinner that evening. She was not sure when she would finished her last appointment that evening but we settled on a 9:00 reservation I would make. Surprising to me, the Irish Inn had a table for 2 available. When I let my friend know which restaurant has provided me a reservation, she then disclosed that we would be three, including a dog that she was dog sitting, and told me she had recently eaten on the porch at the Irish Inn with the dog. I called the restaurant back and they easily changed the reservation from inside to the covered and heated porch. I arrived a few minutes early and was quickly seated and given a menu and water on. My dining partner arrived with dog about 30 minutes late. She and the dog were graciously seated and the dog was provided a treat and water in a dish. It was a cold evening and no one else was seated on the porch. In earlier, warmer years the porch was crowded with nicely dressed individuals going to celebrate the coming of the New Year at the Spanish Ballroom in Glen Echo Park nearby. While the New Year’s menu was not quite as varied as at other times, the duck entree (medallions) was different and delicious. We enjoyed the shared cheese cake dessert. The service was attentive even though we were the sole couple on the porch and the porch was generally cool though we were warm under the ceiling heaters. Though parking can be a bit tight on a beautiful spring weekend evening, it was not so late on New Year’s Eve. The Irish Inn is noted for its traditional Irish fare, but there are always varied dishes that should please most people. I will return because the food is very good and it is convenient for a number of my Bethesda friends.
