Lively Irish pub in City Market with standout fish and chips, pot roast sandwiches, live music, and friendly vibes, but service consistency and fry crispness fluctuate during busy periods.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Wexford delivers reliable pub dining with strong food quality anchored by praised signature dishes like the Guinness pot roast sandwich and flaky fish and chips. However, inconsistent execution—soft fries and occasional seasoning misses—prevents higher marks, while service slows noticeably during peak periods. The lively City Market setting with live music and heated patio creates genuine neighborhood appeal, making it a solid choice for casual Irish comfort food in a social atmosphere.
Restaurant Summary
Set in the heart of City Market, Wexford buzzes with live Irish music, outdoor heaters, and steady people-watching. Guests praise generous plates and friendly servers, with one diner noting, "the fish was flaky and the portion huge." Expect a lively pub vibe rather than hushed dining, and be aware that service can slow when the deck and upstairs fill up. The cooking leans classic Irish pub fare with a local sheen: flaky fish and chips, a tender Guinness pot roast sandwich, comforting shepherd pie, and Dubliner-cheddar mac. It is elevated-traditional more than experimental, ideal for those craving hearty comfort dishes in a social setting. Fries trend soft rather than shatter-crisp, and peak-time execution can vary. Families are well covered: think chicken tenders, burgers, mac and cheese, and mild fish. Kids who like simple flavors will find familiar options, while adventurous teens can branch into corned beef or Irish poutine. Portions run large, and outdoor seating lets restless kids watch the City Market scene.
