First time here, my wife and I loved the food and amazing service from our server Megan. Highly recommend the Farro and Summer Squash salad and the Spice Bag! We can't wait to go back again

Located on a beautiful strip, Three Stags offers authentic Irish food and drink in the traditional pub setting. We sat at the bar (where the overhead fans were on pretty high) and had a nice time talking with the bartender (from Ireland) who made excellent whiskey recommendations. My husband and I decided to share the Bangers and Mash and were both satisfied after. Having been to Ireland a few times, we both agreed it was comparable to what we've enjoyed abroad. This is a cozy space that also offers live music along with awesome Irish fare.

Everyone is courteous. Food has quite the attention to detail and quality. You can tell the kitchen knows what they're doing. Mashed potatoes are the best I've ever had. Cocktails are absolutely fantastic, Murphy's Lure was probably my favorite. Dessert was tasty too.

Update: another delicious visit

Pretty bar, parking available. They sent they rent the venue out at time, which is cool for the community. Love the vibes and the drinks were tasty.

I met the owner a while back (I believe) when she worked at Romano's. She told me about the Irish pub she was opening soon so I had it in my head I'd check it out. We went in around 6 pm and walked right up to an open spot at the bar.

But here's where things got frustrating. There were 4 or 5 people behind the bar and no one looked at us or addressed us. For forever. I even asked my partner if we should just leave. He's stubborn so we waited. The bartender finally got us drinks but had zero people skills. No smile, no sorry we ignored you forever.

My Guinness was good and the Irish red came in a smaller glass, which I thought was weird. So I guess a pint isn't a pint?

While we were drinking I was noticing all the workers congregating behind the bar. One was applying her lipstick (kinda yucky) and another was playing on her phone. I guess this just bothered me bc the service was so bad.

I cannot speak to the food, but I'm wondering why I would come back if I could just go down the street to T.R. Falconer, where service is always great and the interior is cooler looking?

Update/Response:
Hello Nick. We visited on a Saturday evening. We were not given a menu; we just ordered verbally, so that is why we had no idea about pint vs Imperial pint. And I see you say taste is subjective but my issues weren't with the taste of drinks/food, just about poor service.

Ireland and its pubs are a gorgeous thing, I look forward to your business working out these kinks.

The Three Stags Irish Pub is an excellent restaurant located in downtown Redlands. It has a very large selection of beers, both on tap and in bottles. It also has a good selection of wines and hard liquor drinks. My wife had the Irish Stew, and I had the house hamburger. Both were excellent, and the serving sizes were ample. The prices are a bit steep, but not excessive.

This place was amazing. The food was delicious. The bangers were not overpowering and the mash were real potatoes. The fish and chips were also good, with the house-made tartar sauce stealing the show. Only downside is the small dining area.

This is my second visit. The first time was shortly after they opened and I wanted to give The Three Stags a second chance before writing a review (mostly because I don't like leaving bad reviews).

First the good. We visited The Three Stags on a Tuesday night, around 6:00 PM.

The location is good and the decor is what I would expect in a US-version of an Irish pub. Redlands is a great location for an Irish pub and I was so hopeful this would become my new "go to" restaurant/pub. (that reminds me, I need to go visit the Royal Falconer soon).

There were a few nooks, but not what I would expect. Most Irish pubs are full of nooks and crannies where you can find some privacy, but not here. In all fairness, there might have been an upstairs area which I did not visit; maybe there was something there.

Music, if there was any was unmemorable.

There were only a few people inside, but the parking lot was jammed packed. Parking is a real headache here.

Service was disturbingly slow. I always give a restaurant/bar/pub credit if they are really busy. But there was less than 10 people in the restaurant and it still took 15 minutes before we were greeted.

My friend ordered fish and chips and I had the Irish Stout Stew. My friend said that the fish tasted like it was frozen, breaded fish. Basically, a restaurant version of the fish-stick. The potatoes in my stew were mushy and tasted like it had been simmering on the stove for a long time. Flavor was OK, but not something I would order again.

We ordered Jamison's which was, well, Jamison's. But the server did not offer or bring us water with our meal.

The Three Stags had, and still has, potential, but they will need to make some major changes in service and in the kitchen before I will return.
