I love this place the prices are reasonable and beer is good. I come every few months for the live music and have been coming for the past 6 years. Shout out to Matthew O’Donnell the Blue Ridge Bard this past week for a wonderful performance. For parking Boush street garage is less then a 3 minute walk away and is free the first 2 hours then $3 after that

Grace O’Malley’s had a really fun and lively pub atmosphere. I happened to stop in while a World Cup game was on and managed to get the last available seat, so the place was packed and full of energy. I started with the Scotch eggs. They had a really nice, crispy exterior and were decent overall. They came with a creamy horseradish-style mustard, which was good, but I thought the dish needed a little more acidity to balance the richness of the egg and sausage. Something like pickled onions, piccalilli, or a sharper mustard would have worked really well alongside it. I also ordered the corned beef and cabbage. It was okay, although the corned beef was fairly tough, and one side of the slices I received had quite a bit of gristle. Most of the potatoes were also a little undercooked. The sauce served with it, however, was absolutely fantastic and really helped bring the plate together. The service was phenomenal. Even with the restaurant completely full, everything came out quickly. My server checked in several times without being intrusive and brought me a refill before I even had to ask. I really cannot say enough good things about the service. Overall, it wasn’t the best meal I

The food was amazing! The atmosphere was a bit loud. I’d like for the live music to be turned down just a bit. I had the Scottish eggs and bacon and cabbage companied by an Irish red ale. The mashed potatoes may be the best I’ve ever had!

Found this place walking around the neighborhood and stopped for a quick bite. The place is warm and welcoming with a full bar and dining area. It's straight out of Ireland 🇮🇪. We shared an order of lemon pepper wings and gracie's disco chips (think Irish definition of chips not U. S.) and I tried one of their signature crushes for my adult beverage (the Celtic) The wings were crispy and had that nice lemon tang, the disco chips were a surprise, a good one. The BBQ pork on top was rich and had a subtle heat I wasn't expecting, but loved. Service was super friendly and attractive. Definitely try them if you are in the area.

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.
