Planning my husband's military retirement ceremony from out of state was challenging, but Blarney's Irish Pub in Toledo made it seamless. Special recognition goes to Leesy Parish, their exceptional coordinator, who maintained consistent communication with us for months, offered valuable adjustments and recommendations, and was incredibly helpful with every detail from menu to parking. The event room was perfect for our needs, providing ample space for the presentation of colors, flag folding ceremony, and even allowing the kids to play. The pasta bar catering was ideal for our guests, and the open bar service was just right. The workers who worked our event were helpful and informative. Despite planning from Biloxi, MS, everything came together perfectly. Blarney's helped us create a memorable military retirement ceremony, and I would highly recommend their venue and services to anyone.

Went in for a fine Irish meal after a training session for work. Was greeted by a friendly waitress and served a cold Guinness draft. Food was great and finished it off with a baseball game next door. 2 thumbs up!

Probably the best shepherd’s pie I’ve ever had! We went for a weekday lunch, and it had a relaxed and chilled vibe. I can imagine this place would be buzzing and fun at night! They also have a great selection of alcohol to choose from. Highly recommend!

Went here before Monster Jam at Huntington centre on St.Patricks weekend and it was the best place to stop to start our day. Our server was Kristen S and she was fantastic. Told her we were from Ontario for the days events and she made us feel welcomed and had real conversation with us. Explained the menu items in detail with her recommendations. Went with the fish n chips and even though every place usually has that on their menu for an Irish establishment, it was down right excellent. She took good care of us and had the extra time because the crowds were not coming in at our early arrival, before our 1pm event. Place is well decorated not just for St.Patricks weekend but great decor through out. Lots of space with outdoor covered patio and clean bathrooms. Great location and easy access to surrounding areas.

Overall great experience. We were sat quite quickly and food took about 10 minutes to come out. The food was pretty good. Service was good even though it was a hockey night and the place was packed. Only complaint is that they gave me tomato on my burger when I asked for it to be removed. However, since it's a small mistake and just 1 ingredient, I won't act like Justin Hayes and cuss out the workers over a minor inconvenience. Would come back again.

What a staple to the downtown community. Blarney has so many amazing appetizers that it was hard to choose what we wanted. We got the spinach artichoke dip, which is AMAZING!! This Irish pub had many historical piecesto look at. Waitress was so personable. Can't wait to travel back to Toledo to show others this great restaurant!

My group primarily goes to the Blarney for trivia on Mondays at 6. Food has always been good with my favorite being the fish. Service is also good and the restaurant is clean with many interesting photos on items on the wall to look at along with televisions. During Toledo Mud Hen games and other events in the area the restaurant can get full very quickly.

Great space and I loved the long list of drafts! The waiter was amazing and on top of it, I got the buffalo chicken salad and it was too good to take a picture! The portions are pretty good as well!
