The Irish Rail

Great little spot nestled in downtown Manasquan right by the train station. Good amount of seating for the size and a nice bar area. Grab a drink before your train or come to watch a game, the atmosphere is warm and you are bound to run into someone you know. All the drinks you can think of and a surprisingly large menu, the food here is a welcomed surprise. Delicious and reasonably priced, I struggle to find something on the menu which I have not thoroughly enjoyed ( try the French dip!). Trivia here is a must! And Steve the bartender/trivia master is a consummate professional and is guaranteed to have you laughing within minutes of walking through the door.

A must stop whenever I am taking the train into the city or need a warm meal and a beer after a long day at work

My first time ordering from this absolutely wonderful Resturant! DD this time I promise I will be there to ENJOY!!!)

I gotta say-- the Irish Rail has really stepped up its game! When I came here years ago, the service was slow and the food was OK, but this time the service was excellent and friendly, and the food was really good! I don't know if something changed in the last 5-6 years, but keep up the good work!

Had the wings got a little kick to them but there good heard the burgers are real good also Worth checking the place out.

We wandered into this little gem and were floored. The owners, staff and other customers all treated us like family; and the food was excellent!! Like no joke - we just expected it to be good but it was EXCELLENT!!

Was here on Monday before Thanksgiving of this year. I came here for a quick pit-stop dinner to recover from a Virtual Half Marathon I finished competing in for the Black Toenail Friday Half-Marathon and 7.5 Miler around two hours prior to my arrival (the in-person participants competed in Proud Lake Recreation Area in Commerce Township, Michigan, on Friday, 4 days after me). Albeit a small restaurant, the inside is very cool and the food I ordered was fantastic. I also like that it’s right at the train station, so the bartenders are very accommodating regarding your situation if you’re in a serious hurry.

Stopped in for lunch today and were very happy we did. Mark the bartender/waiter greeted us warmly and was pleasant throughout our stay. We had an assortment of sandwiches and beers and we enjoyed all of them. Looking forward to a return visit.

Wow , What s blast , Went on a trivia night , Steve and Shirley handled a packed house with ease and were so laid back and fun, had Burgers and Steak sandwich ..both great ..never there before but will be back !!!

What an exciting environment. Fun, energetic bartenders. Even the patrons were very nice. Two guys moved and let our wives sit.. the band was very fun. That little tambourine player was just a little ball of energy... This establishment is very good I suggest my readers..

We had the good fortune of meeting Steve O last night as our server. He was so nice & we had a lovely chat with him. The food was good. We will definitely visit again when we are in the area!

Great atmosphere and Always really good, consistent food! Quiet night with the crappy weather and still, Tracy, interacted with all the customers rather than just hiding behind her phone. I Really enjoy this bar! Oh, and Great for watching sports with the huge TVs perfectly placed right in front of you.

Been here a few times, they have excellent burgers, I also enjoyed their appetizer selection. Good selection of different kinds of beer, including local craft breweries. Would highly recommend. I will definitely be going back here.

I was in the Spring Lake Area, and went a to the town of Manasquan. I had the fish and chips here. They were fresh and delicious. My husband a a chicken wrap and it was really good. Good beers on tap! Great music! Friendly staff! What more could you want!

Best burgers at the shore! The bun perfectly fits the burger. It’s not a a big bun at all. The burger is juicy and big. Delicious! The tater tots are also very yummy!!

I come in for the Cobb Salad and French Onion Soup regularly. I have also tried their burgers, sweet potato fries, Irish Nachos, and fresh home made heated potato chips! All great stuff! They have a new cook who is adding new items to the menu all the time.Great service too; everyone acts as though they've know you for years.They have a presence on Facebook that makes it easy for me to take advantage of their two-for-one burger specials and their live entertainment schedule. Definitely worth checking out!

Great Atmosphere and my Bartender Elise (hoping I got the name right) was very attentive, friendly and professional. I will visit next time I am in the area, I will visit her again.

I don't want to really let the secret out, but this place is the best! Laid back and not in a rush, even on a Saturday night during peak season. Food, service, friendly staff and laid back atmosphere are amazing.

A good place to blow off some steam after a day at the office. Alot of middle aged professionals congregate here. If you're 48, have a mortgage, and a car worth more than 20k this is the place for you.

Small bar but very unique and they have shipyard pumpkin head on tap! Big Tvs!

I had the sliders and fries.Didnt need anything else ,I was full.They were 1/4 lbers. Very good,great service,friendly bartender.
