Food and atmosphere was spot on!! Our waitress was overworked. They needed more wait staff.

Only stopped for drinks, service was great and the interior of the building is really cool. Would definitely recommend stopping for a pint or 6 if you get the chance.

Words of praise can’t do this establishment justice. I’ve been devouring delicious burgers 50 years plus. Whereas some burgers just aren’t worth eating this one was worth waiting 65 years for! These aren’t frozen hockey pucks kids. These are some local sourced beef, hand smashed patties. Tasty, juicy, cooked to perfection. The gooey Gouda enveloped the sautéed onions and mushrooms like a creamy blanket. Topped with a slab (yea slab) of local bacon atop a spongey pretzel roll. You know it’s a great burger when the last bite makes you a little sad. Burger Heaven. The fries and onion rings left me wanting more as well. Brigid’s has the ambiance of an authentic Irish Pub. I’ve hoisted a few pint on the Emerald Island. Lastly, the staff. Met the owner. Travis. Fine lad indeed. Runs a good joint. Family owns and operated for 14 years this. Give these folks your business be ya local. Should you be a lucky tourist hope you can get a table!

Best walleye sandwich in town, good vibes, friendly service. We stop every time we’re in town.

I'm surprised to find eclectic entrees on their menu. A very good place to eat.

As a resident of Bemidji, I have been to Brigid's many times. Typically, I would say that I enjoy going there for dinner and drinks. However, the last time we were there we did not have a good experience. It was very disappointing as we have not had issues like this in the past and it has now discouraged us from visiting until they improve. Our first issue was service, the waitress was nice and it seemed like they might be under staffed which we were understanding of but we waited over an hour for our food order. Once we received our appetizers, they were burnt. Typically not the type of people to make a bug fuss we tried to eat it but eventually asked the waitress if she could have them remade. When she returned with the remade appetizer it was burnt again. It wasn't just that it was in the fryer a little too long and on the crispy side, they tasted like burnt oil. The other food was ok but the burgers were very well done and one of them was also charred quite heavily. In the end, the waitress comped the appetizer and felt bad about it. We told her it wasn't her fault and we appreciated her efforts. We left confused as to what happened as when we have gone in the past we have not had these issues. We will wait for a while before we return in hopes management makes some changes.

Came in on a Monday night 7:40, kitchen supposedly open until 8pm nightly. Tried to order, they said the kitchen is closed. More than 30 people in the bar, would think they could manage to stay open until 8pm. Seems like a decent place, but just stayed for one and went elsewhere looking for food, not sure I'll be back.

Went for supper on a Thursday night. It was not too busy and you seat yourself and someone came over with menus. They had a happy hour of a dollar off some taps, a few dollars on wine and rail drinks from 4-6. Service was good and food was good. Had the Reuben egg rolls, Reuben sandwich, and fish and chips. We thought the Reuben sandwich was than the egg rolls and fish and chips were pretty classic. There are not a lot of Irish pubs in the Northland.
Walked in and waited at the bar for 20 minutes without being acknowledged once. We ended up walking out and going to Keg & Cork and was helped instantly. The bar or restaurant wasn’t busy at all. Definitely will not return to this location. I would put no stars if I could.

The food was okay (just). We all had the fish and chips. The batter didn't have much in the way of seasoning and the fries were unsalted, so overall it was pretty bland. The Coke was flat.We waited about 30-45 minutes after sitting before I finally went to the bar to ask for menus (we were not on the patio, we were inside, across from the bar). After a long wait, I went back to place our order at the bar. A table that had sat at the same time as us were already eating. The waitress brought our drinks and, later, our food. She said she would be right back with napkins, but after about 15 minutes I went and got those as well. We finally were able to ask for the check, we asked if we needed to pay at the bar, she said: no, that she would take it. After another 30 minutes (waiting to see if she ever would come back) we paid at the bar and left.I cannot stress how bad the service was, literally nonexistent!

A fun place to hang out with a friend. Went to Thursday - open mic night. Started about 7:30. Musicians we saw were great. Unusually burgers are really good. Shepherd's Pie is always a favorite! Often times there is music on the weekend. Happy hours M-Fri. 4-6 pm. Outside seating too. A great place to go after a play across the street! Definately Irish Pub vibes!
