The staff here are lovely. The space is clean and trendy. We were just on the brunch / lunch side but there is a whole bar area and event space. I would love to come back when the main bar is open and check it out. The Rueben bites are PHENOM you have to get them. The fries are TO DIE FOR good too
Great local bar. Good choice of draft beers and their classic burger is very juicy and well seasoned. My son was very satisfied. I personally love the crunchy fries We dine in very often. Also take advantage of their happy hour 5 draft pints Monday thru Friday 12-5pm You are welcome!
Fun with great curb appeal, the vibe drew us in after passing a few times. Service is relaxed and efficient. Drinks were generous pours. The regular burger ( Blue Cheese) was good, not crazy-good, but still inhaled the whole thing. Janes Grilled chicken wrap was ok, but I would love to try the crispy one. I think a crunchy texture would be really good. Their salads looked amazing. They have a grilled pear and gorgonzola salad that was beautiful as well as very tasty. The atmosphere on the patio was awesome (currently, the inside half of the restaurant is open weekends only). Two full right-angle walls sport several glass garage door openings that are irresistible on a nice day & reveal fun, eclectic decor. It was not super loud and echo-y so we could enjoy the meal, hear each others words but still pick up the laughing camaraderie buzz coming from other tables. All in all, it's a great vibe.
We went there to celebrate 50th!!!! work anniversary of our coworker! Very spacious restaurant with two large dining areas and nice bar. They serve good burgers (that’s what my coworkers had and were very happy with) and I took a veg salad. On top of that root beer and celebration desert for our main guest! It was great time to be there!
Awesome bar! Great place to watch a bears game. The bartender Meesha was on top of it the entire time for our 15 person party. Delicious Turkey club too
O'donovan's may seem like an Irish pub, but it's a lot more than that. It's actually a really great neighborhood bar with a very good restaurant/bar attached It's an extremely fun atmosphere and they always have OnPoint holiday decorations so stop in there and have a drink. The bartenders and service are extremely friendly and the bar food is very good for what it is. The drinks are always prepared nicely and the beer is super cold
Our party of six did not order food..only drinks, so I can't rate that. However, as a favorite Halloween fan in life, this place is amazing. Rooms and rooms of decor and spooky things. Bartenders were so busy. Other rooms, once we explored were busy, and some empty, but ready for the late night visitors. I explored everywhere. Staff is all fun and ready to help. There are so many rooms to this place and the decor is fun. Go check them out! I bet Halloween night is a blast there. I am attaching photos.
Just there for a few drinks the whole place has a very fresh vibes, bartenders are great, they have a vast selection of local beers.
