Hennessey's Tavern - Laguna Beach, California

I love Hennessey's Tavern.
I can see people who are walking down the street and sunset in the seats at patio.

Servers are very kind, and food's are really tasty.

I ate crispy calamari, onion rings, taco platter, and pretzel burger.

Everything was good.

I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great special’s especially for a tourist area. Buy one get one burgers on Tuesdays. See the happy hour menu. They also serve a great breakfast. Hennessey’s is actually a chain. I have been to the one in Carlsbad and Vegas. All excellent. Nothing fancy just a solid sports bar.

The fish tacos were really a surprise, it felt like a very coordinated fusion & I recommend it!! Buffalo wings are just good as it is, it seems to be fried/baked, despite the good sauce it is a bit dry on the inside! I have to say i love their fries (or sm i just hungry?) ... Attentive server & great atmosphere <3 Their burger look really good but we didn't try it 😔

You can never go wrong with going to a pub, and that definitely means and include Hennessey's! Very chill atmosphere! We all had different burgers and they were all delicious! And Krystal was very sweet and helpful! Love it and looking forward coming back again!

Quiet during the day but sounds like it’s a fun place at night with DJ upstairs. Good prices for being right by the beach. Service is good and quick. Bacon bleu Burger didn’t blow my mind and didn’t taste much bacon bits but it was good. The bun was fresh and delicious.

Hennessy's Tavern in Laguna Beach is a place that will have you scratching your head and wondering if you accidentally stepped into a parallel dimension. It claims to be an Irish tavern, but don't be fooled! It's more like an excellent American tavern that got lost on its way to Dublin. The atmosphere is local and cozy, just like Norm from Cheers. You half expect people to shout your name as you walk in, but instead, you're greeted with slow service and a crowd that seems like they wandered in from Bizzaro world. It's a weird mix, but hey, that's part of the charm, right?

Hennessy's is known for its awesome burger bar, and it does not disappoint. The patties are juicy, the toppings are plentiful, and the view of the ocean from the upstairs seating is a nice bonus. But here comes the plot twist: If you're a fan of corned beef sandwiches, prepare yourself for disappointment. What used to be a go-to item on the menu has taken a nosedive in quality. It's like they forgot how to make it, and now it's just a sad excuse for a sandwich.

On the bright side, Krystal, one of the staff members, was an absolute gem. She was sweet, helpful, and made up for the slow service with her warm personality. She's the kind of person who would fit right in at Cheers, where everybody knows your name. The Guinness flows like a river, and it's so cold and delicious that you'll feel like you're sipping it straight from the Emerald Isle. So even if the Irish authenticity is lacking, at least they got the beer part right.

Hennessy’s Tavern may not be the true Irish pub experience you were hoping for, but it's a quirky spot with good food, strange crowds, and a cold pint of Guinness. Just make sure to steer clear of the corned beef sandwich and embrace the weirdness of it all. And remember, even if they don't know your name, they'll still serve you a frosty brew.

Not too busy, but great service. Had the Ahi Poke that was very good! Enjoyed the $7 Amsterdam Lemonade and local beers.
