| - O'Donoghue's is ok.
It's the only Irish pub in like a 10 mile radius, so I think people are giving it more love than it deserves.
it's just average.
There's nothing really notable about the place... it does not suck though.
Their tap is lacking and they have some lower end swill on it. I hate swill. May I suggest they get some Boddington's and a cask to make it more Irish. At least they have Smithwicks's.
The place rocks live music on the weekends which includes a rowdy mob of dancing drunken upper class broads and dudes with really nice button up shirts and greased out hair mad doggin' every other dude in the bar. It also has the staples of any Irish pub. Such as the fall over drunk skinny dude that should have been cut off four drinks ago, the Old couple, and the infamous dude by himself that tries to hit on your girl when you go to take a leak, so they are keeping inline with the genre.
The food is pretty good. I had a nice Corned Beef Reuben there that satisfied; however they claimed to serve "Irish chips", but I got run of the mill fires... I wasn't expecting much though, so C'est la vie.
This is the only watering hole type place in the area, so they have a corner on the market, which is why I don't think this place matches up to say the Skeptical Chymist, Rula Bula, or any of the Mcaffrey's joints.
If you are in the area and want a brew or a decent bar meal, go here, because the rest of the area is filled with over priced Bistro-esque type spots.
