Best guineas outside Ireland, amazing Irish dishes. Wonderful staff. Extensive whiskey menu. Weekend brunch. My favorite fish and chips in the 48 states
NateAugust 5, 2013My favorite place on mill. Good beer > stroke lights and live Irish rock bands > frat-bro DJs. Try the Irish nachos with a black and tan.
🌵Andrew Kolikoff🌵March 30, 2015Ah. Now this is a cool place in one of the coolest places in the Valley. Just come for a beer and fries... They'll give you this incredible curry dipping sauce that will make you say... "Wow!"
- Brian BellAugust 19, 2019One of the last local spots on Mill Ave and for a good reason. They have delicious food, an awesome patio and live music Fri and Sat nights with a dance floor. Leave early to avoid the college crowd.
This pub is absolutely underrated. All of my friends have their power hours here because the service is great, it's lacking in the fist-pump scene, and the patio is perfect year-round.
All of their food is excellent, especially the bangers and mash and shepherd's pie, and their servers are very pleasant. Plus they have sweet potato fries!
Anthony DuranAugust 31, 2016Love this place when visiting Mill Ave. Of all the Irish pubs to enjoy local music and my Guinness, it has to be here.
Phoenix New TimesAugust 13, 2014Situated inside the Victorian-era Andre building, Rula Bula is an authentic-looking pub that's steeped in history. Read more
JordynSeptember 6, 2014My favorite bar. Has a much more relaxed atmosphere than anything else on mill. Sit outside and try the food!
Fantastic Irish restaurant. One of the best atmospheres around. Amazing food. Great pour on the Guinness.
Dean HansonMay 1, 2014Everything was great until the bread pudding with Irish whiskey sauce. ... that was beyond great! My mouth is very very happy!- Phoenix New TimesNovember 4, 20102010 Best of Phoenix Winner: Best Fish 'n' Chips! Thick cod fillets dipped in beer batter and fried until crispy, golden, and light, and teamed with homemade tartar sauce & crisp, fluffy chips. Read more
Edward HernandezFebruary 18, 2013Get the San Patricio Burger and enjoy a few drinks with friends in the back patio area for a great time.- vincent kellyApril 14, 2011Great Irish pub on mill ave. Great place to meet up with friends and have a pint. Also amazing food. Gotta try there Ruben. St. Pattys day must if in Tempe!
Their Happy Hour is awesome! Try the Corned Beef Sliders, Mac & Cheese & the Hot Potato Ball thingies. Plus they have a really HOTT waitress, i think her name is Reyna :)
Matt FerrariMarch 12, 2017Indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff and free parking with validation right off of Mill avenue- Javier VelezMarch 14, 2016Hot Bollix are a great app. Got to try the Irish sliders they are delicious
- Phoenix New TimesAugust 3, 2011You must order the 'Hot Bollix Spicy Potato Balls'! We love and It was voted one of the top 100 favorite dishes in 2011 by the Phoenix New Times!
Good place to go if you don't want to get grinded on. New Castle beer on tap is the bomb here. Always ice cold & bubbly. Bar in the back is the best for fast/quick service
Amber MontoyaApril 24, 2014Get the house wings! A Guinness BBQ sauce mixed with a buffalo sauce. So delicious!
Billie MurchisonMarch 18, 2013Bangvers and mash is great so are irish chips. Great decor and best St. Pattys day in Phx area
Tempe Tourism ManagerSeptember 17, 2014Try the Fish 'n' Chips. They also have some great live music here too.
Kate Ghezzi-KopelJune 13, 2013I love this place and want to take it back to NYC with me. The Kiltlifter beer was delightful.
Megan RenfroMarch 28, 2012You get a cool clover stamp before going in. Also they have live music inside which is always a good time.
Sara PetersSeptember 30, 2010Best actual "Bar" in town that isn't like a club reminds me of home makes sense since I live on the Southside of Chicago! :)
Bri BlondinDecember 16, 2011Great food, a multitude of guiness concoctions and Irish coffee...can't go wrong!
Genevieve RiceApril 4, 2011VEGETARIANS: Get the vegetarian version of the shepherd's pie for a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs treat.
visit the patio when it is nice outside, they even have a good sized bar back there
What's the deal with their service lately? This is the third time in as many months.
- @Brooke A. Actually they DO have soda bread, had some with my Lamb Stew.

"Great spot to catch a concert because of the size. Not a bad seat in the house and the smaller atmosphere makes for some great shows. Sound is decent but don't miss your favorite act when they play."
