In Short – Step into the cavernous main room and you'll understand why this is one of the most festive nightspots in Raleigh. Large and usually full of people enjoying drinks and live entertainment, this pub has a laid-back atmosphere that lives up to its name. In addition, there's a late-night menu that offers appetizers such as fish-and-chips, nachos and tempting desserts that include Guinness-flavored cheesecake.
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!

Annie Nice has to be one of the nicest Irish (Americans?) living in the Raleigh area. Her restaurant is like being home (in Ireland). The food, the entertainment, the atmosphere and even the patrons who frequent Tir na Nog are worth the trip. Thank you Annie, for bringing a little bit of Ireland to North Carolina!!!
- Pros: Great Management
- Cons: None
Has Something Changed?
by raleighites4recess at Citysearch
We've been here quite a few times, but our last visit had us scratching our heads. We have always had great food and great experiences at TNN, but went there recently and thought maybe they changed ownership. We've always loved the 'hummus of the day', but now they only have one offering. After looking over the smaller menu, we ordered a Veggie burger with fries and were served a beef burger and undercooked fries. We are never ones to send food back, but these fries were too bad to eat. The waitress even said the fries looked funny. She then brought out new fries which were overcooked--I'm guessing the cook had a good laugh over this one. Hopefully this is something that will change when the economy gets better, but if it's not it's a sad, sad loss for Raleigh.
- Pros: Great beers & hummus
- Cons: Smaller menu and food change?
Sun. Brunch
by newsdude at Citysearch
You've gotta stop by Tir-Na-Nog for the Sun. brunch. It was great before. But the food has gotten even better. I'm told they have a new chef. There's always a new/different item on the spread(which keeps things fresh--both figuratively and literally). Try their lemon chicken; jambalaya; the chicken curry. Swing by to see what they have that week. It's a pretty good deal for AUCE at $11.95. And for those of us who are waking up late after a good time the night before, it helps that it goes on until late into the early afternoon.
- Pros: Food and Ambience
- Cons: no live Irish music until AFTER brunch
