McGlynns Pub - Greenville - Greenville, Delaware

Been going to McGlynn's for almost 30yrs. Started at the Pike Creek one. Then the Peoples Plaza one. Now the Barley Mill one. Great place to relax, have a beer, and chat with friends. Love the patio bar area year
round. Have gotten familiar with the staff and they always take care of everyone. Went with my kiddo last night for a little celebration and a nice little hang out of the house. Got nachos, pretzels, and blackened chicken sammich. All really hit the spot. I enjoy most of the food on the menu.

Great food! Good service, she made excellent recommendations and was knowledgeable about the menu. Would've given a 5 for service but we waited too long to be acknowledged, but once we were, everything a went well.

If you’re looking for an incredible spot to unwind, check out this vibrant Irish pub nestled inside a bustling shopping center! It’s more than just a place to grab a drink; it’s an entertainment hub with tv everywhere. The atmosphere is electric, especially with all the enticing specials they offer throughout the week. The bartenders are super friendly, making you feel right at home.

The menu is bursting with a fantastic variety of delicious food options to satisfy any craving. Even though I was just passing through the city, I can confidently say this place would be one of my favorites if I lived there! With plenty of outdoor seating and a spacious bar inside, it’s the perfect setting to enjoy a game on one of the many TVs. Trust me, this pub is a gem that you won’t want to miss!

McGlynns Glasgow location was not my favorite, but this location had a nice atmosphere and was great. It's exactly what you're looking for in a sports bar. A TV can be seen from anywhere. Wasn't a fan of our waitress, but the food was really good. We didn't have drinks, so we'll have to go back to try a few.

Picked this restaurant as a meet up for a few friends that hadn’t saw each other for awhile. When we arrived they put 2 tables together but made it so people were unable to fit by us. People kept hitting our heads & chairs as we were sitting & they were getting to their seats. It was super tight but it was unnecessary to set our tables like that. Our server seemed very attentive at first. Once our food came, she did check on us. My food was prepared incorrectly yet she did did not apologize, attempt to adjust my bill, or even to send the manager over. Our server had only come over one time while we were eating to check on drinks (we had gotten adult beverages and all had water) & after that to deliver our bills & to receive payment. Our server never refilled any of our water glasses during the entire time. She never came over again after the last person paid their bill. Not sure if our server asked the hostess to come over or if hostess did on her own, but she came over to kick us out. She said that she had a reservation that was for our table (a reservation at McGlynns!? & if they do accept reservations, do they have so many people coming in on a Thursday that people even need reservations!?). Maybe so…but…there were 2 other groups in our area & none of them were told that they had to go! Thought it was super unprofessional to request us to leave. It was not a good look that they made 6 people not want to ever return (or at least not return until we forget how we were treated). Very disappointing visit!

Great atmosphere, there's all walks of life in here. Definitely NOT a watering hole. You could take your family or your delinquent friends here. Would be great if they could have live music but it's not really that scene either. Pretty much just a restaurant with a giant bar inside and a normal-sized bar outside.

Where to begin! We have been here 3 times since moving to DE. First time we were ignored & the treated as if we bothered someone to serve us. Dropped our food & never saw her again. Had to find someone to get our bill. Second visit we sit at the bar & the bar tender couldn’t put the army game on. So she said she would need to get a manger . We waited til finally we went to the host & asked. Manager was grumpy and make you feel like we were bothering her. Today we arrive 2 hrs before the game and every table was marked reserved. None in the patio none in the bar area. We ask to get a seat and we were told there isn’t any available. So I asked can we order food & sit at the reserve til the party arrives. No we can’t. We stayed about 45 min standing & watched many people come in and walk out being told no seats available. As we were leaving someone finally came in to take a table marked reserved. Meanwhile the entire patio was still empty with reserve signs along with another side of the bar tables. The game was starting in 20 min. So I’m unsure why we couldn’t order food & get out of the table before the reservation. But if your ok with losing $ that’s how you do it. We will not return.

I went to McGlynn’s pub at Barley Mill Plaza yesterday (May 13, 2025) with a group of nine other women from my Smyrna, Delaware, neighborhood, after a morning tour of the Hagley Museum.

The seating was fine and prompt - we had reserved a table. I felt that being attended to by our waitress (Sheila) took a while, but the restaurant seemed to be fairly busy at roughly 1:30 p.m.

Sheila took our orders - we had asked for separate checks, the person who had made the reservation had checked ahead of time that this would be fine. One woman in our party ordered a reuben sandwich with a special request to leave the sauce off. When it arrived, she realized that the sauce was on, and could not eat it that way. She mentioned this to our waitress, who berated her about not having made her request clear, and our friend decided to let it go, but another person in our party insisted that Sheila get this sandwich replaced this with a new one meeting our friend’s request. Our waitress did abide, but was visibly not happy at all.

Then, when she brought our checks, she had combined on the same check my order with that of the lady seated next to me. We had specifically asked her to put a crab and corn chowder and a French onion soup on one check, and a chicken pesto BLT sandwich on another one (we were going to share the sandwich.) Sheila told us rather rudely that it was going to be too complicated to split our orders onto two separate checks in this fashion. We let it go, but I found this excuse a bit strange.

I realize that anyone can have a bad day, but our waitress’s attitude yesterday was sub par on several levels. We were not really her customers, we were a nuisance, pains in her side.

The food was stellar, though, as was the atmosphere of the place.
I seldom dine in the Barley Mill Plaza area, but if I ever do, I will most likely not return to McGlynn’s.
