There's nothing like an Irish pub on a cold night to warm you up from the inside out. Grace O'Malley's doesn't disappoint. They have traditional Irish offerings as well as some of their own specialties. Everyone in our party loved the food and it was competitively priced. The restaurant is very clean and the traditional decor is warm and inviting. The service was top notch and very professional and they offer live entertainment. This is a popular restaurant so plan to arrive early to avoid the wait. This is a great place for dinner or drinks in downtown Norfolk. I can't wait to go back.

Amazing atmosphere! The beer cheese is to die for! This is a great place to go by yourself, with some friends, or even work colleagues. You literally can not go wrong with anything on the menu. The bartenders and service staff are top notch. One of my FAVORITE places to eat on Granby St.

Fantastic place to stop in for a drink and a good meal. We popped in before a friday night hockey game, about 430pm, and had no wait. We headed out about 545pm when the rush was being seated and ordering. If you're planning to go before a nearby game or event starts, I'd suggest getting early because the place got packed quick. The scotch eggs were amazing. I'd totally order them and the fish and chips again. Crispy and hot, well seasoned. My husband didn't much care for the irish breakfast stack; with the hollandaise poured over everything, that flavor overwhelmed everything else, it was good but very rich. Our server was very nice and provided great service. We'll certainly come again.

The atmosphere here is boisterous and jolly! When full of people it’s lively and full of cheer, I’m a sailor so I spend my time on a ship and this was just relaxing to be in such a positive space. The servers were great, just smiling and laughing and you felt like you were relaxed and happy from the welcoming energy of the staff. Lastly the food was well seasoned and spiced and just heavenly for a navy man!

We dinned alfresco and the weather was perfect. I ordered the fish and chips and it was amongst the best I have ever had. Down side to our visit one of us ordered bangers and mash, unfortunately they were out of bangers. I was told their alternative item ordered was suitable and good. Our server Liz was attentive and friendly. If you enjoy Irish pub fair this place is perfect.

The bouncer was very was friendly great customer service showed us the late night food menu and got us seated very unexpected lol. Food is great, bangers and chips could use a little less salt for the gravy, fish and chips was good, has several selections of beers and spirits!!!
