About K.C. Branaghan's

K.C. Branaghan’s is a true local pub with outstanding food and drinks, served in a warm and friendly environment. Built to re-create a cottage pub, K.C. Branaghan’s has lowered ceilings and dark wood features reminiscent of many of the great pubs of Ireland. The back bar was hand crafted using the finest materials available, and each artifact hanging on the wall was hand picked by the owner himself.

Whether you are looking for a relaxing place to enjoy a few drinks, or you are looking for a great lunch or dinner, we hope you will join us. We feature a full menu with selections ranging from the traditional Irish Fayre, like Fish n’ Chips, Bangers and Mash, and Shepherd’s Pie, to fantastic Salads, Sandwiches and Burgers. Our entrees include Prime Rib, Filet Mignon, Grilled Salmon, Parmesan Encrusted Chicken, Shrimp Scampi, and the most authentic pastas in Long Beach. Some of our signature appetizers include our delicious Sausage Rolls, Spicy Potatoes, and Smoked Salmon. There is something on the menu for everyone.

We pride ourselves on our Draft Beer Selection, specializing in pouring the perfect Pint of Guinness each time. In addition, our lineup boasts other Irish favorites Harp, Smithwick’s, Kilkenny, and Magners. We also feature a large selection of craft beers, Sculpin, Racer 5, and Lagunitas to name a few.

Our full bar boasts a large selection of premium Irish and Scotch whiskeys, including Jameson, Knappogue, Midleton, Paddy, Glenlivet and Glenfiddich. You may also be interested in one of of our original Martinis or shots

Our pub is available for private parties or have us cater your next get together. You can also treat someone special with a Gift Certificate, available in any amount.

We are easily accessible from nearby freeways or an easy walk for our neighbors in Naples and Belmont Shore! Go for a walk around the lovely canals of Naples, then join us for a relaxed, friendly breakfast, lunch or dinner. Enjoy patio seating or challenge your friends to a fun game of darts in our back dart room.

Come for a drink, stay for a meal! We look forward to seeing you at the pub!

Dry January is over!!! Who thought of such a thing? Dieting too? New year's resolutions too! Everything in moderation plus play trivia weekly! Happy Lunar New Year.

Great to get a surprise visit by multi talented Robin who helps keep the King Trivia royal court of quizmasters and more up to par. Ironically she trained me over 2 years ago. Time flies while having King Trivia fun!  After playing trivia for many years, I was thrilled to get behind the microphone as I used to be a radio show host at KUCI.FM 88.9 FM at UC Irvine as well as comedy since 2011. So now you know a bit of trivia about me. 

We had 3 teams tonight for this first Tuesday in February. Considering it was just 2 nights since the big football game before the biggie!! Glad to have night warriors out including the charming handsome coast guards!! Hello!! 

We played 7 rounds, hummed along to catchy tunes including 'The Year of the Tiger' for this new Lunar NEW Year's day. Roar!! Plus great tasty food prepared  by Jose and the crew. The bar team was Ginger and hubby plus longtime pals Taso and Stephanie. The pub had various non playing groups curious about all our fun who promise to play next time plus Ryan the owner was in. Why wait?! Take a chance and win one of two top team prizes. See you all next week!

Congratulations to the winning teams!!!

Congratulations to the trivia night winners Toaster Strudel. They were popping  tonight with lots of right answers plus taking a well calculated double or nothing wins. Welcome and congratulations to the bride to Be from Nor Cal here with her buddy Erica from So. Cal. Nice to see fellow Canadians on a trivia night with the Canadian trivia question about the Royal Mounties. 

So glad The Birdwatchers stayed and created a team of their blended visiting family and fiends for a memorable night. The Graduates team had an "oh thank heaven 7-11 night" (inside joke). Craig was the vocal funny ringer of the night. 

Next week Ryan is featuring an additional event after trivia with a one hour open mic for 10 comics for 5 minutes each. Arrive early for the happy hour hamburger night special and sign ups plus trivia and then have a nightcap of more laughs with comedy!
