Nolan's Irish Pub

Very cute. Dark and nice lighting. Super staff. Tasty desserts. Hot gold tea with Irish like creamer was so good. Mother-in-law Had the corn beef sandwich and Irish cheesecake. Had the apple pie. Husband had the lava cake ..the side salad was so good.

My wife and I stopped in here for dinner on August 16, 2025 in conjunction with a camping trip at Jetty Park, a few miles up the road overlooking Port Canaveral. It has a very nice cozy and somewhat authentic feel of an Irish Pub that you might find in Dublin or another Irish town. We sat at the bar and I ordered the Sheppard's Pie. It was very tasty and seemed like it was an authentic recipe. The bartender was very attentive and friendly. We did not stay past 8:00 pm for the entertainment, but it looks like it would have been a great place to do so with live shanty singers who often play here on the weekends. I would highly recommend stopping in here if you are in the mood for an Irish Pub experience. It won't disappoint.

Caeley did a phenomenal job working by herself. Some of the best service we have ever had. Friendly prompt and knowledgeable! Great food and great relaxing atmosphere!

Have been to this lovely restaurant twice. Overall, great place. Service and live music always so wonderful! Please, just consider adding a few more vegetarian options to the menu! Also, just wanted to alert that upon walking in, there is a very pungent smell of cleaning products! It’s always nice to smell delicious food when entering a restaurant, but certainly not cleaning solution. It was quite evident our entire time there, so it was difficult to ignore. Otherwise, love the Irish vibe!

Nice spot for a quick lunch. Had a pint of Guiness and the Guissess stew. Was as good as expected. Friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere with Irish rock tunes playing (Thin Lizzy, Van Morrison and U2, etc.)

Loved our time at Nolans. Super responsive and friendly staff, great food and drinks. Had a great whiskey flight. They have a large selection of whiskey as well. Saw some live music while we were there that was good too. Looks like live music happens just about 7 days a week around 6 or 7pm. Highly recommend.

One of the best restaurants in the Cocoa Beach area! Even if you haven't tried Irish cuisine you owe it to yourself to stop in. The food, workers, and atmosphere is great. If you're looking for a good drink 🍻 this is the place. Additionally, the pretzels were good, as well as bangers and mash, Sheppards pie, fish and chips, and the pot roast. I can't recall the waiter's name but he worked yesterday, around early afternoon and we sat near the stage. He was amazing and one of the friendliest people we've met. Additionally, I would bet this is a great place for live music.

Service is really slow. Chicken tender unflavoful. The atmosphere is good though. We came here twice during our stay at the Cocoa beach. When we came the first time, they didn’t have much selection for seafood, so when we came for the second time, I ordered some shrimp from Island Time and planned to eat it with the family. I ordered chef salad for myself. I was told outside food was not allowed. Very disappointing. On top of that, we were sitting by ourselves for over 10 mins without anyone come by to check on us. We had to flag down a server to put in our order. On the plus side: The onion rings were good. Beer cheese was good as well.

I will say that when we arrived to the parking lot I was skeptical, but as soon as we were through the door all of that melted away! The ambiance is top tier. I especially love how there are tables in nooks that feel like their own spaces, giving genuine "public house" vibes. IYKYK We were greeted, initially, by music from a spritely Irish band playing Irish and Scottish folk music and covers. A few moments later we were greeted and seated by the bartender and server who were super attentive in all the right ways. This can be challenging on a music night but they obviously know how to make people feel welcome! I had a french dip and my partner got the Shepherd's Pie. Both were fantastic! Parking in the lot out front was ample and the place is very family friendly. I heartily recommend checking out Nolan's Irish Pub! I'm told Thursdays are live music night and I'd also recommend hitting that if you can! Cheers!

Great Irish pub with a traditional menu and burgers. Quick service. I ordered their signature burger so I could taste Ballymaloe relish. Not a fan and the burger was dry. But I love being surrounded by the Irish decor. Great selection of Irish whiskeys, I've never heard of half of them. But I'm a Guinness drinker and they pour a fair pint.

Tried Nolan's for the first time this week. We will be back. My wife had their famous fish and chips, while I enjoyed their Reuben sandwich. Both were delicious. Our waitress was also excellent. Very pleasant and just the right amount of attentive. I highly recommend.

Found this place on a whim on our first night of our trip. I love a good Irish pub and this did not disappoint. Went for a Guinness and it was great, can't go wrong there. My entree was the fish and chips. I usually get the fish and chips at similar restaurants to this, so I have a pretty good gauge of what is good. This was one of the better ones I've had in memory. So tasty! The interior was so unique and a welcoming atmosphere. The service was also great. I'd love to come back!

Friendly service from bartender. Nice selection of beers. Fries & coleslaw were tasty. Fish cooked nice & crispy. Plenty of bar seating & tables. Music was enjoyable.

Atmosphere 5 Service 5 Food 4 Music 5 Very enjoyable time service was top notch. Will definitely be back

Live Irish music a few days a week and a lot of Irish beers on tap. I came in for a Reuben, but it was after they shut off the grill or whatever, so I got some bangers and mash. I didn't care for the veggies, but the mash, sausage, and the gravy were awesome. I got a beer flight and enjoyed three of the four choices. The bartender was attentive and the bar was a comfortable environment.

First & foremost, dog friendly with outdoor seating. Second & near & dear to my heart, Mich Ultra bottles for a mere $3.50! (PBC restaurants are NEVER that cheap!) Our waitress, Kaitlyn was awesome. Gave us plenty of time to enjoy the breezy early evening. We had the pretzel bites, quite good. Fish & chips was huge! And not a bite left on the plate. Half order of Shepard's pie was a tad dry but had wonderful flavor. We did walk through the restaurant & it was classic Irish Pub with a few patrons at the bar. Loved the vibe! We will definitely keep this one on our short list next time we're up this way. Slainte!

Service was great, food was good and waitress was very friendly!!! Music made for great ambiance!!!

Great Irish bar! Killer ambience. They have a lot of autographed astronauts' pictures and mission patches. The whiskey flights are a fun way to sample some interesting Irish whiskeys outside of the usual suspects. Speaking of flights, a rocket took off over at the Space Force base. It's that common that no one blinked much after a pause. Like earthquakes, for locals, in the West. Added to the experience! The food is very good, not amazing. Still, for this area, full of two stars grifting off of the cruise ship industry, at the port, it's a five star. Service was genuinely five star. The servers are young, but well trained to keep the vibe top notch. Parking is tricky but doable.

Great atmosphere. Feels like home. Service is top quality. Fish and chips and shepherds pie was the best we've had.

Great! Music and food. Staff top notch ! Almost feels like you are in Ireland . I will be back

We go here each time we are visiting Cape Canaveral. Nice atmosphere, good service and good food offerings. The same can't be said for the Celtic store next door. Very rude server as we were there at closing- She could have told that as we walked in but did not. Instead, she let us browse and then said " just so you know I am closing my till as I close at 6pm." She was then very rude as she checked us out. Wont be going to the store again, that is for sure.

Enjoyed Great Guinness beer & pineapple cider here! Nolan's burger was yum, but husband did have to ask for extra fried red cabbage to get the full effect. The onion rings were a bit sparse portion wise, but tasty. My Fish & chips were good overall but the accompaning tater sauce didn't taste home made. While eating, we listened to the live band play a few 70s Rock N Roll songs which made dinner more interesting. Nolans drinks and ambience were definitely the main attraction. Overall, despite the few things mentioned, if back in the area, we will return to try the Irish shepherds pie or beef stew which were also suggested by our server.

great place to go except on St Patrick's Day. The local stores have a problem with you using their parking lot one day a year, so they threaten to have your car towed if you do. Ridiculous and arrogant.

Ambience- looks, feels, music authentic Irish Service- great service , attentive and providing recommendations Food- was so good , peas and carrots plus juicy beef stew , bangers were tasty

Good pour of Guinness, lively atmosphere esp for a Tuesday. Hubby could not resist a half portion of the banger and mash.. "pretty solid banger, decent sausage and a good gravy with the mash". Says the man from Killarney

Nolan's is the spot to stop for a quick pint and an amazing burger. Most of their entrees can be ordered half size--which is more than enough for the average appetite.

Great meal with friends and we had delicious Irish stew! We will dine there again soon!

Mary and Shasta are Amazing!!! We have had the most wonderful service from both of these delightful ladies! The drinks are delicious and the pretzels are a must try!!! This place is as cute as a button, the decor makes you believe you're in an Irish pub far, far away. Well done crew!

We love Nolan's. Never disappoints. Good Irish music, but not too loud. Great food. Shepherd's Pie on point. Get the brown gravy to go with. Nacho fries is a good choice for appetizer. Make this a stop when in Cocoa Beach!!!

Found this restaurant when searching for live music on a Saturday night. What a cute place! I will note that this is not a "hip and happening" live music place but singer was an incredible and engaging story teller that made you feel like a part of each song. Having just been to Ireland recently, we enjoyed the look and feel of the restaurant and the signs reminding us of some of our favorite memories (well favorite beers ha). We got the poutine, not irish, but super delish. I will say the gravy tasted like it was from a packet, perhaps the only downside, but it was loaded with melty cheese curds. As a main course, we split the fish n' chips - they are wonderful and allow you to sub mashed potatoes and peas and carrots for the fries. Of course the fish n chips came with mushy peas, just like in Ireland. I would love to go back and try more from the menu. There is plenty of parking around the shopping center (in front of and behind)

Food here is great, try the mash potatoes. Some of the best I've had from a restaurant. Fried fish was good but wanted a different type of breading. Service was great also. If you can catch JJ Smith here while he plays here it is worth the visit! He's great while singing songs but shines when he encourages audience participation. Those songs are hilarious! Will definitely go back.

As soon as you walk in, you feel like you are in Ireland. The pub is covered with Irish themed items. The food is fantastic. The fish and chips are incredible. The service is great too. Really enjoyed our visit.

Came here just for the fish and chips for me and my wife. My plate was good, hot and fresh. The cole slaw wasn't exactly the way I like it. My wife's fish was rubbery. I think it was too thick of a piece for frying. It was close to closing time, so maybe the cook was off. Service was a little slow closing out my check. If you are in the mood to booze it up, this is the place for you. Classic Irish pub with all the authentic decor and live music. I should've just ordered a Guinness pint lol.

This pub was great - just what we were looking for. We got the pot roast and fish and chips, and a pint of Guinness, and thoroughly enjoyed everything. They had live music when we were there, which was nice and at the right volume so we could still converse and enjoy our meal. The decor was interesting as well.

Got invited to this place for a work function. Seated at the booth. I can't speak for the food since I only ordered adult beverages. The liquor did not dissapoint. Ale at it's finest. As a group we were enjoying ourselves, singing with the live irish band. This place fills up pretty fast, it's best to come early for seating. I am not Irish but still had a great time! Lol. Overall, service is friendly and the ambiance was straight up Irish. I recommend.

Irish funerals are more lively than this place. It hits you right when you walk in, that feeling that makes you do an about face and walk right back out. This was on a Saturday night!!'

We came to Nolan's Irish Pub on our vacation to Cocoa Beach simply for the namesake - my partner's name is Nolan and we thought it would be fun to try out this place. The menu displayed many types of traditional Irish food, but I opted for the pretzels and beer cheese as I don't eat any red meat (which was in nearly every item - vegetarians beware!). The pretzels and beer cheese were still delicious though. The interior of Nolan's Irish Pub was eclectic and filled with relics representing Ireland - so much fun. Our server was also very attentive, and we were able to get in and out of the restaurant pretty quickly during lunch. My only complaint is the menu variety for vegetarian friendly options. I would have loved to try a vegetarian version of many of the traditional Irish foods here, but I understand that may be difficult to do.

Stopped in for a quick bite this afternoon. Southern chicken flatbread (buffalo sauce) with jalepeno ranch was perfect. What makes this a 5 star review was the bartender. She was awesome! So sorry that I didn't get her name, but if management reads this give her a bonus! We were there on September 27 around noon.

Food was very greasy. The restaurant wasn't clean. I would choose a different place next time.

Excellent food and warm, welcoming service! We had the fish and chips, onion rings and half portion Nolan's Pot Toast. All delicious!

Literally came here for the poutine and Shepards pie my wife found looking around on yelp and was not disappointed. We split a poutine and it was phenomenal. I ended up getting the Ruben over the shepherds pie and it was amazing. The food was awesome, the staff provided excellent service and answered questions. Overall we truly had a good time here and for sure will be back. We come visit family once a year in Florida but after eating here it might have to be more often just to stop again.

Stopped here tonight to enjoy some food, drink, and music. On Friday nights at 730pm you can listen to Irish singing and music. We were warmly greeted and offered any available seat. Our server was friendly and happy to help with tye food and bar menus.. I ordered a whiskey and ginger to start while I listened to the music and made some food decisions. I ordered the fish and chips. It came out in a very reasonable amount if time. It came with a side of mushy peas which I enjoyed. The cod itself was a very generous portion and I found it very tasty. The chios I enjoyed with a heavy pour of malt vinegar. I will definitely be back to enjoy the food, tye drink, and the songs.

The beef stew!!! Note: There is also a songwriters night on Mondays. Definitely check it out. Some really good artists come in to play.

Before the Space-X launch, I played Yelp roulette. After giving out a few highly rated Yelp choices, my buddy chose Nolan's Irish Pub. Nolan's seems like a good place to watch a game, hang out with buddies, and guzzle beer. You will find on the menu the standard Irish pub fare like Shepherd's Pie, Bangers and Mash, Burgers, Fish and Chips, Roast, Reuben, and other sandwiches. I had my eye on the Pot Roast and French Dip but the waitress informed me they were out of Roast until later in the afternoon. That put me in a bind. After her help, I went with what seemed like an unique dish, Shepherd's Fries. All the ingredients for Shepherd's Pie were there topped on the fries. I was surprised at how well the meat tasted. The meat had a beer flavor to it. I wasn't impressed with the actual fries though. A better entree would have been the Shepherd's Pie itself. No sweet tea here....booooo! I would love to eat at Nolan's again and if I get another dish, I would re-rate it. There is a lot to like here but the Shepherd's Pie is better as an appetizer than an entree.

Food was great, we had the shepherds pie, pot roast and the kids loved the Mac and cheese and fish and chips! Fantastic waitress was so good with the kids too! Louder music helped drown out the kids as well

Fish was perfect. Awesome vibe and plan to return to try the pot roast. Friendly service as well.

We were in Florida for a cruise and saw this place listed on Yelp. We decided to give it a try since it was pretty close to where we were staying. When we first entered the building we noticed it was much smaller than we expected and packed. I'm guessing there were about 20 tables maybe. An Irish band was playing so I'm guessing most people were there for that. At first the hostess wanted to sit us right by the door which was kinda right in a walkway and seemed an odd place for a table. I noticed a table in the back that was empty and asked if we could sit there. She seemed really hesitant and said we usually only sit a group back there and said we could sit there if we agreed to let others sit with us if needed. Seemed kinda an odd request but I agreed due to we were really hungry and without a car so going somewhere else was really not an option. I ordered the pot roast, the waitress said that was an excellent choice. I believe my husband ordered the prime rib dip. He said his was good. Mine was very good except the portion size was pretty small in my opinion, I'm glad I didn't order the half size because I would of been disappointed. Our server was not that great and pretty slow. Anytime she'd come by we barely had time to talk and ask for anything as she would run away in a hurry and we'd have to wait another 15 minutes or so before she came back around. That was really frustrating as we just wanted to eat and leave. I also sat forever without a drink and ended up asking for 2 glasses of water hoping I'd always have a drink. The place was decorated pretty cool and there was this awesome bookcase we were seated next to. Would we go back again? Maybe but definitely not on a night there was a band.

Great food. Staffs are very friendly. I Will bring my family to visit here next time.

As always, Nolan's delivers. Fish & Chips, pot roast and the best Guinness in town. Always have trouble deciding what to eat, as it is all great.

Good food, really good selection of Irish beers. Happened across ukulele night. Every Wednesday night ( except next week). What a blast. Well known songs you can song along to. Fully half the audience is also playing along on their own ukuleles. Very impressive and lots of fun.

Finally! Fish and chips that are reminiscent of Ireland! This is hands down, our favorite Irish pub/restaurant. The Reuben wrap (you can get it as a sandwich also) was great too! We also got a side of beer cheese and it is my 2nd favorite that I've had. I will be back!

Great food and really great pub atmosphere! We went in just to grab some food and a beer and there was live Irish music on a Saturday night! Also, gotta try the Shepard's Fries. Amazing!

3rd time here. Live interactive music. Perfect pints! Irish Food was good, service was good. Will come back again!

We visited Nolan's Irish Pub on a recent Thursday night. We came for the live Traditional Irish Music as well as the fine food. As soon as we arrived we were escorted to a table opposite where the performers sit. Our drinks of white wine and red wine arrived in short order by Rebecca. She gave us attentive and friendly service throughout the evening. With wine, we ordered Onion Rings, which were the best that we had ever tasted. They arrived hot and prepared perfectly with a dipping sauce. My companion chose Fish and Chips for his entree; I chose the Pub Burger. Both dish were delicious and served hot. During the live entertainment I order a Guinness, that arrived perfectly poured. Music was wonderful and the group engaged the patrons for a couple of the songs. The decor was filled with Irish related objects and beer and whiskey signs. This was our third visit for dinner and we have always been completely satisfied with the food, service and music. Prices are quite fair, too. Each night there is different entertainment. Nolan's is a family friendly establishment and the ambiance is warm and inviting.

Nothing special here. Small local bar & grill. Good selection of Irish beers. Food is average bar food but adequate.

Amazing fish and chips and lovely live music. Nolans has a very friendly staff as well.

Soooo much fun, we went on a night that had an Irish band with audience participation. The food was phenomenal!! Don't sleep on this place!!
