About Ryan's Pub & Restaurant
Ryan’s Pub is one of West Chester’s favorite hideaways. The warm, cozy atmosphere is perfect for students, couples, families and the after work crowd. Ryan’s features specials nightly, as well as live local music on Wednesdays and Sundays!
Sit on the outdoor patio and do some people-watching or site at the grand Irish American bar that is lined on the left with booths for dining and relaxing. Groups can eat on the second floor in the comfortable dining room with a second bar and a pool room!
WC Dish Recommends: Pork sandwiches, nachos, salads.
Ryans pub is one of the most fun bars in west chester, however the service is TERRIBLE! bartenders are rude and treat paying customers like children. I’ve spent alot of money here and have never recieved any respect. The most unprofessional place I have ever been in, specifically the male bartenders tend to be the problem. No need to be short and sarcastic with customers. They need new employment and quick before people start getting fed up with the awful service.
I have been to Ryan’s many times, including the time Dawn T was there. I was there before her and her friends sat down outside, and witnessed the whole situation. Not only was the bartender correct about the timing but she neglected to mention that all their food came out at the same time. She came in, verbally assaulted the bartender, and was downright miserable. She is the typical whiny customer from what I saw. The bartender did not raise his voice, and got a tongue lashing from a rude customer.
As for the service and staff, it’s in my top 3 in West Chester, the place cant be beat for lunchtime.
This place is terrible. Bartenders always have an attitude and are just bad at their job. Place is a college bar that smells like a basement of a fraternity house. Do not go to this place with so many other better choices in WC.
To Innocentbystander: Thank you for your comment. I was that person that was screamed at by the bartender. Although management was gracious in their apology, my take is that this incident is not the first or last one, given that intensity of the aggression. Customer is always right philosophy is long gone in this country. I think great customer service is a dying art.
Food is great … customer service not so much. I was there the other day and watched the bartender basically scream at a woman in front of the whole lunch crowd. I was so embarrassed for her. I could hear that she wanted the manager to know that her salad took 40 minutes. The bartender was yelling that she had only been there 25. I knew that was not the case because I had been there 35 minutes and was already half way though my food and she was there before me! I have been a server for a long time, I know people can be annoying but have some class. What happened to “the customer is always right” mentality?
Been to Ryan's Pub twice now. Once for lunch and other time dinner. The drinks were great, the food excellent,( especially the Prime Rib ) and the service was friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Ryan's and will be making more visits in the future.
Ryans is bar none(no pun) my favorite establishment for food and spirits in Chester County. Between the three separate areas in house, there is a place for all, young and old. Cant say Ive ever had a unpleasurable experience here thanks to the amazing staff that Pat Ryan employs. Keep up the good work and I will see you soon, you can count on it.
I won't disagree with previous comment about "drunken animals", but then again, I wouldn't go to Ryan's for dinner. On weekends it's mainly a college hangout. Nor would I ask for 6 separate checks if I did eat there with five friends. Did you leave separate tips also?
Been there a few times and have had pretty good experiences for the most part. Nachos are amazing and so are the chicken quesadillas for all quesadilla fanatics.
The upstairs is a lot nicer – you don't have to deal with all the drunken animals at the bar. Not pleasant having to walk through them to get out though…
Service was good too. I went with 5 of my girlfriends and our waitress was willing to give us all separate checks. That can be a very tedious task and most waitresses would give you a hard time.
Whenever we're looking for a consistent place to go eat we know it can be here. =)
There needs to be a separate category for "bar" on the site. Ryan's is a bar, not an Irish restaurant. That said, it's a good bar that doesn't pretend to be anything but.
Ryans has THE BEST BUFFALO WINGS in the tri-state area period!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been to Ryan's Pub several times. As a fan of the classic Italian style pork sandwhich (best in area is at DiCic's at Reading Terminal), I thought I'd give Ryan's Pub a shot on Friday night. Thoughts and comments:
- I'm not sure if there was some kind of beer special – or maybe it was because the Eagles were playing, but as my younger guest commented, "This place is a sausage factory". I prefer the old school term "Dude Ranch".
- We both order the pork sandwich. The staff was very friendly and sevice was quick.
- It's hard to compare a pork sandwhich to DiNic's, but I have to say it was better than OK. I was surprised the spinach topping was not an option AND it could have been a bit more juicier. The fries were terrible.
I respectfully, based on the pork sandwhich only, will give this establishment 6.7 "THAT BLUE YAK" stars out of 10.
Ryan's has the best slow roasted prime rib………..a delicious flavor and it melts in your mouth! For the price you can't go wrong !!Try it ! I have friends who come from the Main Line to Ryan's for the prime rib and "fish of the day". They love it.
Can I just say how much I love their italian roast pork sandwiches??? Mm mm mm!
The burgers are great here – flavorful cooked to order – mmmmm- and the seafood bisque was delish. Our server Lindsey was right on top of everything in a nice friendly manner.
