Sheehan's Irish Pub and Restaurant is praised for its unique, delicious food, and fun casual atmosphere. One reviewer even called it 'authentic.' It's a neighborhood favorite, known for its fresh seafood and a variety of menu options. The lively atmosphere and great service make it a favorite for many, with one customer even stating 'it was noisy, but it was a Friday night and the weekend is usually louder than during the week.'

    Food was great. My salad with steak added was perfect, and large! Waitress Amanda and bar staff super. Drinks were fantastic. “Hands up” was delicious. I’d be back for that alone. When we arrived for our 7:15 reservation we were told it would be 35 min. When asked what the point of a reservation was I was met with “I don’t know I just work here”. I understand if things get backed up or if tables squat a little causing a delay, but that was not the response I was expecting.

    Dinner was delicious! Everyone's plate was as though we had not eaten all day....nothing was left. Our waiter was wonderful....he was patient, knowledgeable, and found a way to never interrupt us while talking. We always look forward to going to Abel Brown!

    We love this place! Great atmosphere and food! Service is always slow so if you are in a rush this is not the place for you. Food, drinks and just overall sense of vibe makes the wait worth it IMO. Btw- one of the best places for wings in the area, both on regular nights and brunch!

    Come here often for the best Irish Pub experience in Augusta, came here this particular evening to celebrate my graduation from grad school. It never disappoints! Love the atmosphere, loved the tortellini (add the scallops!), and my buddy said “best ribeye steak he’s ever had”.
