Party Earth Casey's Irish Pub Review

The Scene

It's all about whiskey, beer, and hanging out at Casey's Irish Pub, a welcoming, subterranean, 10,000-square-foot watering hole popular with a diverse clientele of young professionals, USC students, and creative types.

Downtown, Los Angeles –

It’s all about whiskey, beer, and hanging out at Casey’s Irish Pub, a welcoming, subterranean, 10,000-square-foot watering hole popular with a diverse clientele of young professionals, USC students, and creative types.

A roomy outdoor patio at the foot of the stairs gives way to the sprawling rustic interior, where friendly ex-frat boys and college types gather at the mahogany bar or hole up in one of the many wooden booths to chat loudly over pints of Guinness and shepherd’s pie.

Darts, pool, and foosball draw gamers off to the side room, while several TVs over the bar keep the sports fans happy.

Truly a place for everyone, the venue accommodates a unique mix of people, from cheering football fanatics and flirty coeds looking to meet and mingle, to sullen drinkers hunching over their whiskey in the corners and hipper artsy types who show up on weekends when indie rockers and singer/songwriters take to the stage in back.

Although Casey’s is always buzzing with a boisterous crowd, it rarely devolves into a drunken mess, making it perfect for anyone looking to unwind with a lively bunch of beer and whiskey lovers who know how to hold their liquor.

Casey's Irish Pub User Reviews

dubbz1106 Mar 26, 2013 3.0 stars Great Mix! Casey's is an awesome place for happy hour or for a big night out with your friends. There is usually a live band playing which does give it a big pub feel. If you're not too into the music, don't worry because the it doesn't travel all the way to the front bar. Outside is probably the best area. Its a big open space at the bottom of the stairs, similar to many Boston bars if you've been. There's a ping pong table and always a bunch of people playing. The drinks are actually not too badly priced for being right in Downtown, especially if you're going for the beers. There's booths to sit at if you can't find room by the bar, which is a bit awkward because there are random poles and dividers, making it hard to fit a big group up front.

Chris G Feb 21, 2013 4.0 stars Who doesn't love an Irish Pub? If you're looking for a place to hear some great live music or watch the game, Casey's Irish Pub is the place to be. Priding itself on great nightlife for every patron, you will leave here wanting to come back. If you're looking for a club scene and letting loose, this place is not for you. But if the environment you want is a chill, laid back, offers plenty to eat and drink, look no further. A wide range of drinks to choose from along with an extensive food menu and Irish decor, you'll feel like you're in the heart of Ireland. Tough day at work? Enjoy the happy hour all day Sunday's and Monday's and 3pm-7pm Tuesday-Saturday. Make your next nightly outing at Casey's Irish Pub.

Maniya Jan 18, 2013 3.0 stars Love it Who wouldn't want to go to a place that has live music, lots of drinks, oh and did I mention, live music?!? It's a great place to go if you're not looking for that 'club' scene. It has pool/ping-pong tables and just a great environment to hang out

Georgina Stage Nov 30, 2012 3.0 stars Great Spot I love Irish pubs! I went here one night after bar hopping downtown. The relaxed vibe was a nice change of pace from the trendy, hipster joints that we had previously visited. I sat in a booth with a group of friends and sipped a cocktail while my guy friends furiously pounded Irish car bombs....yeah, it was that kind of night. Anyways, Casey's is a good spot to relax and hang out with a group of friends. It's very casual, so don't feel pressured to break out your brand new expensive heels. The crowd is really fun on the weekends; the people next to us started chatting us up, which was very welcomed! I love a friendly crowd as much as I value a fun atmosphere with nice alcohol. Definitely fun!

Maddy Lansky Nov 28, 2012 3.0 stars WILD Crowd Live band, young crowd, interesting drinks. I personally wouldn't recommend the pickle back shot--just take the whiskey straight. However, if you like pickle juice definitely give it a try. This place gets pretty rowdy on a Friday or Saturday night, and you can normally find a decent crowd of college students here.

DJ Rossstar Nov 6, 2012 1.0 stars Meh Tried to go here last Sunday night for dinner and they were closing at 8:00pm. Why does a bar close that early? The fish & chips I was hungry for were $17.50 anyway. Why is it so expensive? The place smelled really bad too.

jsunmatthews Oct 30, 2012 3.0 stars Fun Irish Pub…HUGE Irish Pub! So maybe it’s my heritage, but I am always more forgiving when it comes to Irish pubs. Maybe it’s because anybody who goes to one expecting glitz and glamour is obviously too stupid to write a review, and if that’s what you’re looking for…you are in the wrong place. They have comedy nights on Wednesdays, a few scant crappy beers on tap, decent menu with burgers, pastrami sandwiches, beef pot pies, lobster pot pies, and chicken pot pies, two separate Happy Hours, billiards, dart boards, old downtown drunks an inch from death, host lots of social gatherings, and always have great AND FREE live music most nights. A pub is a pub is a pub. Go to get blotto and kill someone with a poorly aimed cue ball. Also…the place is effin enormous.

Melchor Melchor Oct 5, 2012 1.0 stars Yea, who goes here anymore? Another faux "Irish pub" by Cedd Moses. If you fart in Downtown, your gas will surely waft to one of Cedd Moses' establishments. They are all the same pre-packaged products branded and marketed to the masses. This "Irish Pub" puts up all the appearances of an Irish pub, but you know, it's not really one. To be sure, you can have fun with the ping pong table and pool table, oh and the 758 or so tv's crammed into a somewhat smallish place---pffffft, that is if you like this sort of vanilla, faux please the most people most of the time place to squeeze out the most profit. Cheers! Protip: Go with friends and have fun, or don't go at all because this is no Irish pub. I

Duke Ho Oct 5, 2012 3.0 stars Great times Casual dress code, darts and billiards, and sometimes even a cover band. It's a good time and a place you can go definitely go to regularly

MoeG Oct 4, 2012 3.0 stars Awesome bar downtown I've been here a few times and really enjoy this place. It has a big below ground open area when you walk down to get in and insdie there is the bar and an area for live bands to play. Lots of places to sit and meet people. You'll see all sorts of people here too, including celebrities, so it's definitely worth checking out. Dress code is pretty casual also.

srharris555 Sep 21, 2012 3.0 stars Drinking and Ping Pong?! I've been to Casey's a few times, and always really enjoyed it. There are pool tables and a ping pong table in the below ground-level outdoor area. There is often live music performances by amateur bands from the area, and can even be a place to spot some celebraties. Last time I was there I saw DJ Qualls from the New Guy and Road Trip. This is definitely a pub worth checking out.

RedHedEd Sep 11, 2012 2.0 stars Great fun Atmopshere; typical mean irish pub service Good food and Fun "underground" irish pub atmospere; it has a few rooms so there is a lot of space but it can get packed on weekends b/c of the college kids that take to the streets of downtown. There are live bands there and it adds a lot to the experience; they always bring fun fans that are excited to see their friends/favorites play. The food is actually way above average for irish pub fare. the wings are generously meated (is that a word?) and the sauce is finger-licking good.

kwanzer Sep 5, 2012 4.0 stars A Great Irish Pub! Locating a good Irish pub is like finding a pot of leprechaun gold at the end of the rainbow, and Casey’s Irish Pub is one shiny coin. Below ground, it is easy to miss, but once you venture down those stairs you’re greeted by a patio leading to all the warmth that a pint of Guinness, darts, pool, sports and foosball can offer. A classic, rustic interior with wood bar and booths to settle in and enjoy Shepard’s Pie with a Black and Tan. Live Irish music or whatever band is playing entertain a rousing crowd of college students, sports enthusiasts and local residents that help complete the charm of Casey’s. This is place where you meet with you close pals often, maybe makes some new friends, and have a good time.

nlaureola Aug 27, 2012 3.0 stars Never go hungry again. I've been to Casey's on two different occasions, and for some reason, it was completely different each time. I guess late Saturday is bound to be busier, but it felt like there were hundreds more people than on a weeknight, filling all of the rooms. That being said, there's something for everyone. Darts, pool, booths, a patio, and really good pub food. It was nearly 1 a.m. when we ordered, so the kitchen must be open pretty late. And the food is REALLY good. Mac and cheese especially, and if you get fries, ask if you can get that spicy horseradish mustard. Our server was incredibly helpful and always easy to find. I was surprised, considering how crowded it was. And the stairs on the way out go UP, not down, which is significantly easier in any footwear. Casey's is walking distance to a lot of other downtown bars, so it's easy to hit up at any part of your evening. Or just do what we did and stay all night!

Patrick Mulvihill Aug 24, 2012 4.0 stars Best Irish Bar in LA. Period. Don't kid yourselves, my friends. All others are pretenders to the throne. From awesome food from a top-notch chef to great drinks, frothy pints, and a crowd that is the right mix with nary a meathead to be seen, Casey's has it all. It may be tucked away in the ever-burgeoning downtown area rather than one of the more traditionally bustling neighborhoods, Casey's is worth the drive even if that's all you're going for - and as all Angelenos know, that's saying something. If you're going to a Laker or Kings game? Casey's before and after. Maybe even during if your seats suck. Art walk? Casey's. Staying at one of the hotels on a business trip? Casey's. Working downtown? Durr. One of my favorite bars not only in LA but in any city I've ever been to, Casey's has never once failed to deliver great food and an even better time.

Kira Abe Aug 13, 2012 2.0 stars irish car bombs If Casey's should pride itself in one thing it should definitely be the irish car bombs. A few friends and I went to Casey's last weekend and had quite a rowdy time! It's a dingy little pub with a loud, fun vibe and people of all ages. Definitely a great place for pre-drinks!

Sridevi Reddy Aug 8, 2012 3.0 stars Good place to start your night I came here right after the Giants won the World Series. Surprisingly, it was rather empty with a few groups here and there in their jerseys, but it was still such a fun night. The drinks were strong (and not too expensive) and the bartenders were so nice. I also really liked that there was a nice little outdoor seating area for when the bar gets too crowded!

ppena Aug 8, 2012 4.0 stars PICKLEBACKSHOTS!!! So I'm kind of obsessed with Casey's because it's a really fun bar to go to in jeans and a t-shirt - it's no fuss and always a good time. I'm also a big fan of the pickle back shots (BE WARNED, they are definitely NOT for everybody!) which are shots of jameson that you chase with pickle juice - the juice totally works to cut the bite from the Jameson. If you're not feelin' shots, they make a pretty good Moscow Mule. If you're the kind of drunk that needs to be entertained, no fear, Casey's has a ping pong table in the front patio which is a ton of fun for both spectators and players. Casey's also has a trivia night on Mondays during their happy hour which is super budget friendly. I remember the first time I went for trivia we happened to win 2nd place which was like 25 dollars off of our bar tab so we all only paid about 5 bucks for two drinks and french fries! (btw the french fries are a dollar with the purchase of a happy hour beer.)
