The Greeks has by far the best customers around! The crowd there is what makes every moment so much fun. Always a lot of variety and great conversations!

McShea's is a great pub with terrific food and most of all you meet the nicest people. It is a place where everybody knows your name!

While the Greeks is a great "guy place", our family loves McShea's. Way more than standard pub fare, and a surprising Sunday brunch menu. And a great bar atmosphere up front, with excellent brew selections ... always something new.

Bar food is fun in pubs. But the food at McShea's is the best. Great selection, always changing. Awesome.

Five bucks for Irish whiskey ? The Greeks is a spectacular bargain. You can start a conversation with anyone at the bar, or be left alone, if you wish. A great place to be a regular, but well-behaved strangers are certainly accommodated.

I love going to McSheas! Besides the great food and beer selection, I've met so many of the nicest people there. Friendly bartenders and of course John!

Can't get any better than the Greeks!! Best mussels disk on the mainline! Local feel with great food at even better prices. A staple for any visitor entering Narberth for the first time!

I work 2000+ miles away in Costa Rica, and when I visit home the first thing I do when I leave the airport is stop at McShea's for a great meal, a microbrew and some friendly atmosphere.

I love how tight a race this is! Can't wait to see how it ends (and will promptly toast the winner, AT the winner's establishment!).

What a race. I think both the Great American Pub and McShea's have great food plus the cooks at the Great AP work their fanny's off and the food is delivered pronto! Any delays in receiving your meal cannot be blamed on the kitchen. However, there always seems to be screaming children in Great AP. Yes- McShea's has kids, but for some reason they seem more well behaved/monitored. McShea's has AWESOME fish tacos on their rotating menu and when I would have once docked them for salads that didn't seemed washed and boring rolls on the sandwiches, they have since redeemed themselves with great salads and changed the rolls. I cannot rank the Greeks. Anyway- great to see community participation :)

I live in Washington D.C. but was born in Narberth. I can't even count how many times when I mention I am from Narberth to folks--They immediately respond, "I love that small bar in the town, I think its called The Greeks!"

The Greeks is the oldest bar in town, the history, the atmosphere and the charm make it second to none!

This has been going back and forth all day. There's some very busy "elves" working the keyboards today.

The Greek's is a great place for a beer & a burger. McShea's is a comfortable place to go if you want a tasty meal. Both have a nice atmosphere. The American Pub is good for both, but not as good for either as The Greek's or McShea's - sometimes it just gets a little too noisy. For a small borough, Narbs are lucky to have 3 fine spots within steps of each other.

Can't decide? Just do the full "Triangle" and stop by for a bit at each one.
