Nine Irish Brothers Lafayette

SKIP IT❗️Ordered Guinness Stew. Yick. It should have come in a tall plastic container for soup. A bunch of the gravy had spilled into the bag just walking across the street making a mess. There was no meat in the stew. I got one bite of beef that was it. It was all gravy. The mashed potatoes on top were instant potatoes. There was two bites of potato and 4 carrots in the gravy. I got one slice of soda bread with no butter. Don't waste your money coming here. It was a rip off. I would have been better off with Hormel Dinty Moore Beef Stew from Walmart. Service was good. Atmosphere and vibe were chill. The food sucked. I won't return. This is supposed to be a family owned business but the food quality was less than commercial grade and gross.

Wow, just wow! Great place and bar. It attracts it regulars around the bar but they were so inviting to a stranger that I fit right in. Friendly bartenders and amazing food. Ordered the half order of Corned Beef and cabbage. Super tender and flavorful. Very cool atmosphere and will be stopping back when in town.

Picked a destination to ride to for lunch and was not disappointed at all. I would say the best fish n’ chips I have had anywhere hands down with real chips(not just French fries). Atmosphere was great and very relaxing. Loved all the wood and makes it feel like stepping back in time where pubs had character especially in the bar area. All the staff I interacted with were superb. Was a 1hr 45min ride and I would/will do it again here very soon for sure. Bravo Nine Irish Brothers & Five Sisters!

This is the best beef manhattan I’ve ever had. They also have a unique drink menu and the Irish coffee was very good. I would give this place more stars if I could. Wish it was closer to home, I would go here at least once a month or so if it wasn’t 2 1/2 hours away 😂

If you aren't afraid to spend a little extra money on food this may be the best spot in town. Definitely the best fried pickles and reuben I've ever had. Oh and the beer selection is incredible

I love nine Irish Bros. they have the best fish and chips I've had at any restaurant, and their Red pepper Gouda soup, and fried pickles are to die for. I've been coming to the restaurant for years and this location is def better than the one on campus. I will definitely still come here and enjoy the great food, however I will say that they are going to price themselves out of business if they keep increasing the cost of the food. I do understand that prices are higher for everyone including businesses and with that food does go up a bit, but I remember when the half order of Fish and Chips was 9.99 and the full was 15.99. The half order is now more than what the full order used to be and the full order is almost double what it used to be.

It's a nice change of pace and stop somewhere new, to me. The Guinness stew was an excellent choice on a cold day. The atmosphere of the place the top notch, as well.

I had a fantastic experience here. The ambience is warm and cozy. The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. Our server was attentive without feeling like he was hovering. All of the food came out quickly and hot. The Guinness was the best I've had in a long time, too. I was impressed by all the Guinness mix-in options as well. I brought my oversized Mary Poppins purse and placed it on a stool at our table. Unbeknownst to me, my wallet fell out. I was on a date with my husband, so he paid the bill, and I didn't realize my wallet was missing until the next day. The staff at the restaurant found my wallet and kept it secure until my sister picked it up for me. Every dollar and credit card was still in my wallet when I got it back. Thank you, Nine Irish Brothers, for employing an honest, competent, and hardworking staff. We're definitely coming back and bragging about you to our friends and family. Thank you for an all-around great experience!

We held the rehearsal dinner for our sons wedding here last Friday. From the moment I first contacted them they were friendly and accommodating. Although the space was a little cramped, the food and service were impeccable. Steven the GM made sure all of our requests were handled even allowing us to drop off a cake earlier to keep in their cooler. Our server Cole I believe was his name along with his assistant were highly attentive, friendly, and made to entire night a wonderful experience for us. Everyone who attended raved about the food and service. I HIGHLY recommend Nine Irish Brothers in Lafayette for any events you may need to plan. Thanks again to the staff, you made it an unforgettable night.

ordered the corned beef and cabbage. the beef over cooked, tasteless, and turning grey. the cabbage was just bland. asked for an order of soda bread and never received it. the live band was mid.

After literally missing lunch while going through buying a car I was very glad to find Nine Irish Brothers to unwind from the 5 hr process. I was dying of hunger and was going to go for sheperds pie when I noticed they also had seafood shepherds pie. I decided to give that a try. Due to being so hungry an eating lunch at was now 4 pm I also added a pizza appetizer. The pizza was better than I would have expected. All the food came out quickly and the service was great. As a bonus they had plenty of tvs to watch Purdue beat Oregon in basketball. The seafood shepherds pie wasn't too bad definitely different and hard to judge as I have never had nor even seen it on any other Irish places menus. Well I will definitely be returning as I get a free oil change at the car dealer in six months and my son is most likely going to Pursue in two years.

Our server was very attentive and helpful, and she was also friendly with the children. I ordered the shepherd's pie, while my daughter had a custom salad made up with some of her favorite ingredients, including cheese, tomatoes, and crackers. For our appetizer, we shared the fried pickles, which were the best I've ever had. They serve them with a sauce called "the bomb sauce," and it is amazing. I will definitely be back.

I have to say. The food was really bad. The smithwicks was good and so were the fried green beans. But I've never ever had such dry cornbeef and cabbage. It was a healthy portion but soooo so dry. I left 3/4 of it and the server {who lacked any sort of attentiveness} wasn't observant enough to notice or ask. I asked some friends if this was their normal and they all agreed. Such a bummer.

Was greeted quickly with a smile from Alex. She said I could sit anywhere and she'd be with me in a minute. Came back with a menu, asked for my drink. Gave me the Daily Specials and what she loved. I already wanted the tenderloin! The decoration and music make you feel like you stepped off a cobblestone street into an Irish pub. The tenderloin was huge and delicious. Give this place a try!

Great laid back, casual atmosphere. Service was really fast. Fish and chips was cooked well and had a good flavor. Caesar salad had fresh greens and steak that accompanied it was grilled perfectly. Would definitely recommend this place for a meal or a pint!

One of the best places In Laffy. Food is consistent and has been for years...the fried pickles are the best in town. My go to order is the shepherds pie...it is SO good! Servers Raven, MJ and Evan are always attentive and nice!

Feels like an authentic Irish Pub. Friendly staff, and clean bathrooms. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights. 15 beers on tap, full bar. Possibly the BEST wings in town, but a tad pricey. They have authentic Irish food also, but the cheeseburger or breaded tenderloin are my go to.

Chill Irish family friendly restaurant pub. All dishes were prepared perfectly. Nothing bland or too rich. Servers are friendly and attentive. Also tried the delicious shamrock pie which is light and not too heavy, perfect for sharing after such a heavy meal.

A five star meal in every way. We were among few others in the restaurant just after it opened on a Sunday. Service was friendly and pleasant all the way though. The pub vibe of the place is very cozy, large windows adding light to an otherwise dark environment with old Irish beer signs and memorabilia. I was happy they had a cider on tap, Zappy by Rhinegeist out of Cincinnati, while my husband had their house Irish Red and really enjoyed it. He ordered the bangers and mash, while I had a spring special item, a spinach salad with a mustard bacon dressing and a lunch portion of grilled chicken. Seriously delicious. It was different in an awesome way. I had to order the bread pudding for dessert and I am glad I did, because it was warm, homey, and delicious. We left with full bellies and extreme satisfaction from our entire meal experience.

Great place and will easily handle a large group. Yummy food too. Great for busy weekends at purdue.

Love the vibes and energy of Nine Irish! This location is just as good as the West Lafayette restaurant but tends to be less busy. Good food and appetizers, and the beer is always great.

Fish and chips were delicious, super crispy outside perfect with their tartar sauce. The service is great staff is always ready and very friendly. Will be back to try the rest of their menu

A group of 12 of us came to Nine Irish after a football game and we had a wonderful experience. Our waitress Emily was so helpful and kind - we were a huge group on an already busy night, and she handled it gracefully. The food is delicious and the live music made the atmosphere so fun. Highly recommend!

Great place to get away and have a good time with great food good drinks, unique atmosphere and friendly informative service. we enjoyed the fish and chips and the corn beef and cabbage. The tenderloin sandwich was awesome too. A must check out if you are in the area.

Stopped in for a quick beer while out Christmas shopping and was somewhat irritated, for lack of a better word. The beer was cold and tasty, as it always is. Maybe it was the fact that it was still daylight or that I was still sober that I was generally irritated. It is always good to see people enjoying themselves with a pint in the afternoon. However, listening to one of the servers cussing at the top of her lungs while the regulars sitting at the bar were trying to yell louder to get noticed and attention may have been a bit much for me. All of this while holiday music was playing underneath. I watched said loud server drink at least 3 beers in my time and maybe that contributes to the overall vibe. I always enjoy 9 Irish Brothers. I really do. I will just make sure to not come by in the middle of regulars' hour.

Got together with friends for my 50th birthday at 9IB East, yesterday. The whole experience was fantastic, and the staff really made it a banger of an event. Special thanks to bartender Sarah! Will always pick this place over any other when in town.

Really enjoyed the ambiance, decor & music. Bartender was very friendly & helpful. Had an excellent glass of red blend. The mussels were good and plentiful but the sauces was not a flavorful as I would have liked. The accompanying bread was very good, with a nice crunch. Chicken sandwich was a good size but husband wasn't crazy about it, a bit stringy" he said-whatever that means. His chips were excellent but way too salty for my tastes. He loved them. Regretfully, the Irish Cream cheesecake was unavailable.

Great experience! Marvin was our server. He was the absolute best! Made us feel like family. The food was delicious. Restaurant was clean. We will be back!

Fried Pickles were so good. I ordered the (1/2 order) guineas stew. It was served hot and delicious with a huge dollop of mashed potatoes in the center. Very Good They have a lot on the menu many varieties. Service was good, can't remember our waiter name, though! The ambiance was fun, lots of decor for our friends, across the pond of Ireland. We will return!

The food and Ambiance was amazing but what really made my husband's graduation dinner was our server Madi ! She was genuine and kind and made us feel really special. Thank you Madi !

This place is really different in a good way. We had just finished a dermatology appointment for our cat at Purdue. I asked the receptionist where to go to grab a bite to eat and this was her recommendation. Having been to a few pubs in Ireland, there is a certain etiquette to be followed. First and foremost, do not sit where the regulars sit. Second, if you truly are in a pub expect one ice cube in your drink. They didn't do that here. Food was excellent. They had all the traditional Irish pub fare. It was good and fresh and hot. They do a great job at recreating the Irish pub experience. There numerous little cubby hole areas where small groups could get together and share a few libations.

Excellent food, service, and location. I didn't have to wait for a table since this particular location was away from college crowds. Parking was a snap. Over the course of a few days, I came back here again and again. I have now tried the flight of beers, goat cheese fritters, fried pickles, fish and chips, chicken, corned beef and cabbage, paddy melt, and the beef stew. So good! As starters, the fried pickles and goat cheese fritters were excellent and perfectly crisped. I liked how the pickles had the perfect tang to balance the oily (but delicious) batter. The goat cheese fritters were the perfect crispy and cheesy complements to the salad and dressing. The fish and chips were also fried perfectly. The fish itself was perfectly flaky and I could not stop eating the chips (literally fried potato slices). The chicken was delicious primarily because of the gravy. The beer certainly enhanced the flavor of the gravy. Also, loved the dense and moist soda bread which soaked up the gravy. Corned beef was so moist and totally not dry. It was, hands down, the best corned beef I have ever had. The paddy melt was a great sandwich marrying the perfectly cooked and sliced beef with cheese and onion. The beef stew, while not my favorite, was hearty, delicious, and will warm you to the bones on a cold day. And the drinks on tap were all excellent. I loved trying the flight of beers as well, to tee up my next drink. My favorite was the stout. The service was excellent. We had a very nice waitress and waiter and host who were communicative and made sure we liked our food. Price seemed like a steal considering how good the food was and the portions they give. Best Irish food I've ever had. If I could give this place a 6 stars I would! Try it!!

I enjoyed Nine Irish Brothers. It definitely rocks the Irish pub vibe, complete with Guiness... everything. Even the background music is well chosen. We split a fish and chips, which was fully up to par. As others have mentioned, the portions are very generous. Service was great - just the right mix of attentive without being assertive. Our server, Vanessa, was awesome. The prices aren't super cheap, but seemed appropriate for the sort of place and the food selection. Altogether, a definite win.

Decent prices and huge portions served quickly in a comfortable setting, but for me the food is only okay. The corned beef and cabbage comes with nice and tender beef that's not too salty but was a bit under seasoned. The side of cabbage is generous and nicely seasoned. The potatoes were soft and quite buttery with the right amount of herbs. The soda bread had a good flavor with dried fruit but not too sweet, and a nice slightly firm texture. The breaded pork tenderloin was served in a huge portion a a little overcooked and dry, but the flavoring of the breading was quite nice. This was served with nice fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and onion. The chips were super crispy and had a good flavor. Overall, a solid choice for Irish food that's filling and at a good price.

The sausage and sour kraut sandwich I got was very delicious!! Great service too!!! I'm part German and am very finicky!! This restaurant had a warm ambiance!!! Great experience!!

This place is great. Food is still consistent after a decade, service is quick and kind. It was a little tough navigating to our table with a wheelchair but it worked out fine for us. They were accommodating for my dietary needs as well and knowledgeable.

Came here with a party of 6 without a reservation on a busy Saturday, yeah that was our fault. Every table was full! The hostess seemed ticked by the amount of customers that night and took us right away to a private room that seats over 10 guests I believe. Score! The room had it's own TV (playing basketball that night), a neat Titantic themed bookshelf, and a fireplace. We waited a while for drinks so then we ordered appetizers. The fried pickles were pretty good. I ordered the fish sandwich and thought it was just ok. Mine didn't come with tartar sauce so it was pretty bland. The waiter was just so busy! He then mixed up our check with another table's and almost dismissed us before we had even paid! That would have been a pretty big mix up for the other table. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere, appetizers, and the prices are reasonable. I would return.

Generally a very positive experience. Service is always excellent, ambience is fantastic. Feels like you've been transported to a pub in Dublin. I usually get the fish and chips. 9 times out of ten you can count on it to be great, but occasionally you can get an order slightly undercooked. Do yourself a favor and order it with the bomb sauce. And try a variety of Scotch. Their selection is excellent.

Good food and service, it's a nice and cozy place to eat out at, I would 10 out of 10 recommend

A very nice lunch. Got together with a group of people and really enjoyed this restaurant. Everyone tried various menu items and all were satisfied. My wife loved the fish and chips. I really liked the Irish Pizza. Service was very professional and friendly staff. Good parking lot . Yes it is dark inside which adds to the pub atmosphere. Clean and well managed. Full bar. Value for the money. Large portions. Really large menu. Several of our group loved the Irish Breakfast. Private rooms are available. Keep up the great work!

We've now enjoyed Nine Irish Brothers twice. The loaded chips are served hot and are so delicious. Our son has had the fish tacos both times we've been here and really enjoys them too. Service is warm, friendly, and efficient. Staff is attentive without "hovering."

Great food, friendly service and locally owned. Interesting story about the family. If you're looking for an excellent selection of beer or scotch you might enjoy stopping and enjoy a drink with some good Irish food. Family friendly.

Nice Irish bar not where you'd expect one to be. Drinks were good and bartender was great! A little hard to enjoy 6 small wings for $13.99 but they were tasty.

I love it. I tried the shepherds pie (I don't like peas) and it was good. The peas were fresh and not mushy and gross. I also love their "chips" or fries, don't remember what they call them. I got mine loaded with cheese and bacon and a side of sour cream. Yummmm

Did this location enter into some kind of contest for the most uncomfortable chairs/stools/seating? I'm certain they would have won.

My absolute favorite restaurant of all time and one of the few things I miss about living in Indiana. Delicious food, friendly and helpful staff and a cozy atmosphere. I love both the West Lafayette and the Lafayette location (although parking is MUCH easier and convenient at the Lafayette location). You need to bring a location to Cleveland!

I've never been to Ireland so I cannot speak to the authenticity of this Irish pub I can say that the atmosphere was low-key for a Saturday afternoon. Our service was friendly and prompt. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. No complaints. Would readily return if we were in the area. I would love to try a whiskey flight and some of the other food. Our portion size was huge, so err on the side of caution with half size meals.

Cool atmosphere My food was ok Off duty officers next to us could not control their kid. Kinda ruined the entire deal. My bride had the Sheppard's Pie. It was disgusting to say the least. Kinda looked like canned cat food with gravy. It did not even look the picture Won't be back for sure The waitstaff was great

We met friends here for dinner on our way from Indiana to Chicago after Christmas. On a list of many restaurant options, this one stood out for its whiskey options, though ironically, none of us ended up ordering whiskey. My husband and I arrived first and were asked if we would prefer a high-top table or a regular table. We opted for high-top, but I have to admit this became a bit of a sticking point for me. It wasn't a table we were seated at; it was a barrel. And if you stop and think about a barrel, you may realize there is no where to comfortably put your legs. I also wish they had asked if we were comfortable sitting by the stage where there was live music scheduled to begin. Ultimately, we left before the music started so it was a non-issue, but it may be worth asking guests. Wanting to catch up with our friends, it made our table a less desirable location for lingering, which we may have done more of. Our server was fantastic. He was attentive and energetic without being obnoxious. He gave several recommendations on food since 75% of us had never been to the restaurant. I ordered the paddy melt, an Irish twist on a traditional patty melt. It was a seasonal menu item. The beef was tender and flavorful and the Swiss cheese was perfectly melted. The pub chips may have stolen the show, though. They're like a hybrid of potato chips and potato wedges. And my fellow diners kept stealing them from my plate. My husband had the special, a crab-stuffed haddock, which he devoured and raved about. Someone else had the shepherd's pie and declared it the best they've ever had. Overall, a great experience. I would recommend they roll out the barrels (see what I did there?) and bring in some real tables instead.

This is one of my favorite places. The service is stellar, the atmosphere is fun, and the food is delicious. I came in on Mother's Day, and even though they were really busy, they did a great job keeping up. I highly recommend!

Regarding the response from Matt on my first review. The upkeep on the outside of the building was poor. There were broken and bent pieces all over the front. This was not signs of "construction" being done. The front was run down. The bathroom's hard water stains had been there for a long time. The Fish & Chips were still excellent as always. Just disappointed that this once fine establishment has been neglected over the years.

Upon coming in we didn't know this place was a chain and even after getting our food you still wouldn't know. We fully enjoyed the staff and environment. We got the chicken strips appetizer, SUPER CRUNCHY in the best way :)

Great atmosphere, staff were wearing masks, and they seated us away from people which I appreciated. The food was good! I loved the breaded tenderloin sandwich. Great Irish pub! I will be back!

You can't go wrong with Nine Irish Brothers! Their food is hearty and fresh and the beers are so good! I've had the corned beef here and several of their sandwiches. Everything has been top-notch!

Food: **** Service: **** Ambiance: **** Fish and chips were awesome. Crispy and not salty. Second best F&C I had in recent years. Sheppard's pie was great as well and the price was reasonable. Friendly service.

Perfect for a private gathering! We had 12 coming to see my daughter in the Purdue Christmas Show and we wanted a place we could all gather after to celebrate. We were seated in their "Library"and it was just perfect! The ambiance was great with low-lights and a fire in the "fireplace." We could hear the live music softly in the background and could enjoy our conversation. When it got louder, we just closed the door. Highly recommend for a group dinner. Service and food was fantastic as well.

I really enjoyed the sirloin steak, nice and tender. The pity were ok. The carrots were really good, you could smell the sweet glaze on them as soon as they came to the table. Portions were huge. My husband got the prime rib but was not impressed as I was. He that was just ok. Again it came with huge helpings of mashed potatoes and carrots. I enjoy their bread there very much. Not pictured, I had the onion soup. It was ok.
