What a grand place it is, I'll be back.

Great food, Great fun, Great drink!
It's not your typical Irish bar/pub.. it's a cut above the rest. The food is great quality and quantity, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is excellent- very attentive. The decor is really nice and the place is spacious. The tables aren't crammed right next to each other. You have a bit of privacy.
The beer selection is great, obviously, since it's an Irish restaurant/pub. But there's also a very good wine selection as well.
You must give this place a try. It'll become one of your favorites.
Great place, good atmosphere, I'll be back again and again.
Management's responsability is to ensure a customer's return - within reason. Since I have probably seen this same manager in action... I have to agree. This place probably won't survive, just like the rest. before it.
What a pity. The food is fabulous and the atmosphere is so welcoming. But the management ruined our evening too. We waited over an hour for sandwiches and there were problems with the order. The waitress, whose fault is was not, was the professional one. The manager acted like he didn't care and didn't want to get involved with the customers.
Today was my first dining experience at Trali. It is lent, Friday, so we thought we'd give this place a try for the fish and chips. My fish was OK, nothing to rave about. My friend received a rock hard piece of fish. She told the waitress who said "I can already tell you, the chef won't do anything about it, he never does" We were completely baffled. I asked that she please bring it to him so he could see for himself. She came back and said he said "sometimes cod has knots". This entire piece of fish could have been thrown against the wall and wouldn't have split in two. They didn't even offere to give her another piece of fish. We won't be back!
I would say , based on my personal experience, that they have resolved their "management " issues.. give them a shot,, you wont regret it.
I was there today for the first time. My friend ordered a steak medium rare and it was delivered well done. When she sent it back, the manager came out and argued with her! Then she asked for a Cobb salad to replace it which came out quickly and was fine. But when the bill came, she had been charged for the steak. The waiter said his manager had made him do it. We then asked for the steak (since we were paying for it) and were told it had been thrown away. I will NEVER set foot in there again and will encourage everyone else I know to do the same. With management like that, they don't deserve to be in business.
I have become a regular lunch customer at Trali. They have an outstanding lunch offering called Fresh Carvery Station, my mother would be jealous. Perfect if you are in a hurry or very hungry. They offer it Monday thru Friday. Offering changes everyday and includes fresh turkey, corned beef, roast beef, pork, chicken, etc.. and includes a couple of sides. I mean the real thing like your mother makes, all for $10. Large portions have always been offered. Been there twice for drinks after work and enjoyed the crowd. Nice alternative to the Ale House. Smoke free dining is always a plus, and Martin, one of the owners (yes he is Irish), said the outdoor seating is coming soon. And yes I have enjoyed the perfect pint there.
Not up to the standards of the reigning pubs in Raleigh. The menu left alot to be desired. If you went in expecting traditional pub offerings, as we did, you will be sorely disappointed. Also VERY pricey for a place that claims to be a "pub".
This place is great. Simple atmosphere, not overdone but distinctly Irish. We did bring our children which did not seem to bother other patrons as it was on an early Sunday evening.
The food was terrific, loved the fried camembert as well as the fish/potatocake apps. Shepherds pie and Fish & Chips rocks. Smoke free atmosphere appreciated. Our server was delightful and patiently separated checks for our rather large groups of 14 people.
We will definitely plan to get a sitter next time to check it out again - highly recommended.
This is by far the best pub in the area. The service is fantastic, the food is delicious and the atmosphere is as inviting as any pub in Ireland! My family LOVES this place and we try to make it a weekly outing. I don't share the same feelings about the other so-called pubs in the area, so Trali it is!
The food at this Brier Creek restaurant was ok though I think I just ordered the wrong thing from the menu. I was late meeting some people so I had to make a quick decision, forgot I was in an Irish pub and ordered the jerk chicken. It was overdone but still not horrible. I wish I had ordered a steak & kidney pie. Next time.
The staff was really friendly especially considering we had a large table and everyone needed a separate check.
I'll be back for that pie.
