Hibernian derives from the Latin term Hibernia, which means “one who comes from Ireland” or “cold, wet land.” The Hibernian Pubs were aptly named, as we wanted to bring a wee bit of Ireland to the Triangle. The Hibernian Restaurants & Pubs celebrate the old world flavor and the new vibrancy of Ireland. Carrying on with Irish tradition, we offer an atmosphere that infuses the alluring and relaxing nature of an authentic Irish social club and the warmth of a Gaelic home kitchen. All of the locations bring the traditional Irish pub experience to the Triangle. Our dark wood interiors, full of cozy nooks and beautifully sculpted bars will transport you into Ireland. We proudly cater to all walks of life here in North Carolina. On any day you will find families, friends, sports fans, and professionals who are all visiting us to talk, debate, laugh, drink and eat. No matter the reason, when you are at Hibernian, you’ll always feel like a local in our pub. Slainte!!!

    Our time at Northside Bistro exceeded our expectations. First of all the blueberry mule is probably the best cocktail I’ve ever had. Pasta and salmon were both delicious. Dessert was also a tasty treat of apple cake and cinnamon ice cream. The service was really fabulous. We will definitely be back.

    Food was good. Good beer selection and the ambiance was great. Service was good Food did seem slightly on the salty side. That said could have just been what I ordered and I would definitely try it again.
