Great Irish pub, tasty food and lovely atmosphere! We have been visiting Bansko for 12 years now, and have been going in to the Irish Harp for the same amount of time. Brian the owner is lovely, friendly and always welcoming no matter what time...we turn up to eat (usually pretty late) the fillet steak is unreal and comes over from Ireland. One of our most favourite restaurants in Bansko!More

My recent visit to this establishment left me with a deep sense of disappointment, and I feel compelled to share my experience. Unfortunately, I can't rate it higher than one star. Firstly, the atmosphere was far from welcoming. The ambiance lacked any charm or character,...making it an uncomfortable setting. The overall aesthetic felt neglected, and the lack of attention to creating a pleasant atmosphere was evident. I understand that every establishment has its challenges, but it's crucial to prioritize the safety and comfort of customers. Unfortunately, my experience fell short of even the most basic expectations in these regards.More

Excellent food,service and staff - this is little hidden gem in Bankso. Walking down the stairs I wondered were we in the right place until we see a little door and and the lovely smile of the waitress gleaming back at us Being from Ireland...we had to check out the irish bar for food as we were missing our daily fix and the food didn’t disappoint. I had the fish and chip and it was 12/10 My friend opted for the burger - neither of us spoke for our meal we savoured every minute .. I would highly recommend to visit this little gem when in Bankso 💚💚🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪More

Excellent place for dinner where can taste the best beef, made by their own recipe. The chicken wings was also one of the best we ever tried.

Lovely friendly bar, nice ambiance. Great pints of Guinness and helpful staff. Will be back next year for sure. Phoning a taxi was no trouble at all for the helpful owner.

This place proves you need to get away from the high street in Bansko and look for some hidden gems. Really tight little Irish pub if you like your Guinness and Kilkenny. Fanatic food also. It doesn’t look the most welcoming but make sure you...give it a try.More

Feels like an authentic Irish Pub. We both had the steak and guiness pie. Hands down one of the best pies I ever had. Massive pieces of tender juicy steak in a rich gravy. Delicious! Oh and the guiness is top draw. Definitely coming back....Ribeye next time...More

Booking a table was so easy via facebook, the food was amazing and easily the best in Bansko by a mile. If you are wanting good quality food please book a table to avoid missing out.....

Highly recommend. The Irish Harp has a traditional pub feel. There is plenty to choose from on the menu and the food was of a very good quality. Proper Irish beef on the menu! We ate here twice during our week in Bansko. The Irish...Harp offers a discounted pick up and drop off service which is extremely handy when visiting. I would book a table prior to visiting as it is very busy especially during peak times. Food prices very good. Serves a nice pint of guiness.More

This place I absolutely perfect!!! We stumbled upon it because we arrived late and it was close to our hotel and I can say that the word perfect is not enough to describe it. But let me take them one at a time. I am...a fan of beer, but here I tasted the best beer I have ever tried. Try the o haras beer if you come, you won't regret it!! The food is delicious, we tried shrimps, chicken and a salad with squid from the appetizers and I couldn't find anything to complain about. From the main menu we tried the burger, the chicken and the pork steak and I must say, it was like having small orgasms in every bite!!!! The one thing I could complain about, if it's even a complain with the quality they have, is the prices. It's a little expensive but it's worth every cent you'll spent!!! If it was a little cheaper we'd eat here every day!!!More

Fantastic food, all steaks and beef imported from Ireland. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff, attentive but not intrusive. A taxi home is available for a very small fee of 5 lev. Cannot recommend enough, we have been several times each meal fab!
