Katie O'Byrnes Restaurant

I make a rule of not posting reviews, but I absolutely must. I stumbled upon this pub when I had a long layover in Schenectady and had to kill a few hours. The entire staff and all the regulars were so pleasant and welcoming. They made me feel like I was a part of their family. They also had a good menu and beer list. If you're in the area and looking for a place that's comfortable like a dive bar but serves more than Bud and Miller Lites this is the place! 12/10 would recommend.

First time looking for a quick bite for lunch. Pretzel bites were piping hot, good chew, and the honey mustard and cheese dip were great. My husband's Rachel and my mixed grill corned beef/pastrami had just the right amounts of meat, slaw, and sauce and plenty of cheese on great toasted rye. Attentive staff and enthusiastic patrons watching the games. Would definitely return.

Have been wanting to try this place for awhile now. So glad I finally made the trip. Fantastic service and food. I'm not a fan of pubs, but I thought it was a fun and spacious atmosphere. And again, the service made all the difference, really, really great service. Will be back again soon. For sure.

Less Than Irish: I was pleased with the bright clean Irish-inspired decor and Irish design motifs. The waitresses were friendly, polished and pleasant. However, the Irish theme is presented very strongly, but yet they played loud commercial "country western" music on the sound system. The Irish-inspired dishes were uninspired. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an authentic Irish pub experience.

The atmosphere was great, our food was really good. However, the service is what did not impress me. While some waitresses seemed cheerful and friendly, the one we received was not. Too many mishaps and frequented the table once or twice in 2 hours. Its not a huge establishment, you would think for a table of 9 they would be more attentive. Hoping it was a one time thing. Was disappointed after all the good things I read. But really good food!
