From Irish comfort food and live sports to trivia, bingo, weekend entertainment, and a full bar, we give guests plenty of reasons to make an evening of it.

Irish Pub near Rosslyn VA
A good Irish pub should feel just as comfortable for dinner as it does for a pint with friends. We bring together traditional Irish dishes, familiar pub favorites, sports, drinks, and regular weekly events in a setting that works for families, groups, and anyone looking for a casual night out.
Sports Bar near Rosslyn
There is always a reason to keep an eye on the screens. We show major professional and college sports throughout the year, including NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, college football, soccer, and other big sporting events.
Come in for a meal while the game is on, meet friends at the bar, or settle in for the whole matchup. With food, drinks, and multiple screens in one place, you do not have to choose between dinner and watching the game.
Irish Restaurant near Rosslyn
Our menu brings together Irish comfort food and familiar pub favorites, so everyone at the table can find something that works. Traditional options include bangers and mash, fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, corned beef and cabbage, and beef stew made with Guinness stout broth.
We also serve burgers, wings, sandwiches, salads, starters, and lighter options for guests looking for something different. Whether you are stopping in for lunch or staying for dinner, you can browse the full menu before you arrive.
Trivia Night
Monday nights are for trivia, with five themed rounds running from 7 to 9 PM. Questions cover a mix of subjects, so a good team usually needs a little bit of everything rather than one person who knows all the answers.
First and second place teams win prizes, while third place gets to choose a category for the following week. Tables can fill quickly, and groups of ten or more should reserve a table in advance.
Whiskey & Wine
Wednesday gives guests a more relaxed way to break up the week. We offer half off bottles of wine and half off select whiskey throughout the day, making it a good opportunity to try a new pour or share a bottle over dinner.
Whether you prefer Irish whiskey, bourbon, or wine, there is no need to turn it into a formal tasting. Order what you enjoy, pair it with something from the kitchen, and take your time. See the latest whiskey and wine details online.
Karaoke
Friday and Saturday nights are karaoke nights, starting at 9 PM. Some guests come ready with their song picked out, while others wait until the right track or the right amount of encouragement convinces them to grab the mic.
You do not have to sing to enjoy the night. Order a drink, cheer on your friends, or join in when the room knows the chorus.
Bingo Night
Tuesday bingo starts at 7 PM and offers an easygoing way to spend a weeknight. Eight rounds are played throughout the evening, with prizes along the way and no need to bring a team or prepare beforehand.
Grab a card, order dinner or a drink, and play along. Bar seating is first-come, first-served, so arriving a little earlier can help if you are coming with friends.
Specials
Our specials give guests another reason to stop in throughout the week. Happy hour runs every day from 3 to 7 PM with $2 off drinks and appetizers, making it easy to come by for an earlier dinner, meet friends after work, or stay for one of the evening events.
Food and drink features also change throughout the year, so there is often something new alongside the regular menu.
Online Ordering
Sometimes the pub experience sounds good, but staying home sounds even better. McNamara’s runs pickup and delivery on Seamless, Grubhub, Waitbusters, Postmates, and Uber Eats, with the full menu of Irish plates, burgers, wings, and starters.
Order online ahead for a quick grab or let delivery do the work. What is available shifts with how busy the kitchen is, so a group order does best with a heads-up.
Special Events
Our private event space gives smaller groups a place to gather for birthdays, work parties, retirement celebrations, holiday events, and other occasions without having to book an oversized venue.
The room can seat up to 30 guests, with food and bar service available in house. Depending on the special event, groups can choose a format that works for a seated meal or a more casual gathering.
