Nice!

I went on the weekend and it was so much fun. The weather was great and the Patio was pleasant with all the nice music and the good crowd. Although the place was not that busy, the service was kind of slow, especially we only had drinks. But as a whole it was a nice experience.

Great place to hang out

I always come to Failte as a kinda last resort because I know I'll have a great time here. Live bands, good food.. The only problem is that it gets so busy that its hard to find seating when you come late. And the patio on a warm night - forget about it...

Good TImes

One of Mississauga's most popular bars I find. You can always find live shows taking place. One of the bigger bars the city has to offer with lots of parking and right by Square one shopping centre you can't miss the place.

The food there is amazing and always a lively crowd in the place.

Downside is the place is so popular you might have to wait in line sometimes just to get in.

For an Irish Good Time
Since opening in 1998, the always lively and welcoming Failte Irish Pub has become a hit with regulars. Perhaps it is the delicious authentic food that brings people in. Or maybe it is because Failte offers a genuinely Irish good time.

Location was clean and staff was kind so that was good. I bought the wings, they have amazing flavours! I'd say their wing quality could be better, but what the meat lacked the sauces definitely made up for.

I've been here a few times and service seems to differ each time. Sometimes I get great service and sometimes I get very bad service.

However, the last couple of times were really bad. One time, I waited about 30 minutes for my dish. Then there was another time, where it was a group of about 20 of us and we all ordered their wings. It took over an hour for our dishes to come out. It was their... more

Visited again after a horrible experience at Coopers (was craving some wings). Service was good as before. Wings are very big. Not very saucy and not the best tasting but good bang for your dollar. They have good daily specials as well. Also had an order of mozzarella sticks that were way too expensive for what they were. Place was much more livelier this time around.

Don't go here unless you want to die.... Worse place I've ever been to in my life. The server got mad because we asked to split the bill. Was apparently too much work to ask of him. So I reported him to a nicer hostess and he followed outside to argue with me... Inciting fear into customers?

I came here for wings today.

They have a decent wings deal Monday through Wednesday's. It's half off wings, making it $0.75 per wing or $6 a pound.

They have 15 or so flavors which is not bad for an Irish pub. The wings are pretty good sized, however in my batch I got mostly wings and less drums.

I ordered two pounds split between suicide and whiskey BBQ sauce. The suicide was... more

Nice Irish Pub-central for business lunch

Failte is on city centre drive and close to square one.
Very central for a business lunch.
Has a few Snugs which are particularly intimate for a business talk.
Food quality and prices good.

What a sad little place with no service? When you stand there with a fifty hand, you think they would lunge at the offer of a brew. Nope. No service whatsoever. Two times a lady, but three times I don't go back. Sorry folks, this place ain't worth it like a few years ago. It was fun then but this place is always more and more quiet each time i go.

A great place to meet with a friend to have a beer and catch a live band.
Great decor, good selection of beers and bar food make this place worth
coming too. Even though it draws a younger crowd its still a fun place to
come and see a live band on the weekend.
If you are looking for an authentic Irish Pub, this place is for you. Lots
of free parking and great location next to Squrare One.

There are not a lot of places in Mississauga to grab a drink and unwind. This is the place to go for a beer or two and catch up with an old friend.
