We love ODs and go almost every friday. Obsessed with the buffalo chicken wrap, the rings, and the reuben. Brendan and Jamie are so amazing and great bartenders. Always a fun casual environment.

We went here for a Friday night to end February. It had a great amount of larger tables for 7. The waitress was nice. We got no appetizers but the corned beef rolls looked & sounded great. We all 7 got a Friday Fish Fry. Perch was mine & my fiancé's selection. I loved it because it came out in small pieces. I'd say between the Cod, Perch, Walleye, or Gluegill I'd say 1) Perch 2) Walleye 3) Cod 4) Bluegill but honestly couldn't go wrong with either. I rarely get a take home box but it was enough that I added my remaining 3 pieces into my fiancé's box. I love the baskets the fish & chips are served in. Very quaint to Irish/England Pubs. The marble rye was thick & large portions. Honestly, for $17 you get a great deal worth of food considering inflation. The waitress was even kind enough to bring an extra basket of fries when she realized they gave one of the guests Sweet Potato instead of Regular fries. Honestly, we ended up putting the extra fries into the 3 carry out boxes. The servings are great sizes!! There was also live music on a Friday night.

O'Donoghue, Irish pub has great atmosphere. We did a celebration of life for my mother-in-law in their banquet room. They made this a true celebration and was very easy to work with. They have a small bar in the banquet room and Amanda did a great job behind the bar for us. Food was great. We would recommend this for all our friends and family as a good place to have a party. Thank you, Jamie! Tell your staff they did amazing job thank you.

About as true of an Irish Pub you can get, with cozy decor, friendly faces, and fine pints of Guinness. If there's something that makes it stand out from other Irish pubs I've been to (quite the list) is that O'Donoghue's has food that is not just "bar good" but actually good. We hosted a party in the back room after my son's baptism and couldn't have asked for a better spread nor could we received better treatment from Jamie the owner as we planned or service from the bartender and staff as we enjoyed. Enjoy a cold pint on the patio while it's warm outside or get cozy inside when it's cold, either way you can't lose!

My sister raves about their bloody Mary's. They have live music and a great Rueben from what I hear. The last time I was there was a very busy Thursday night so the food took a little while to arrive. Lots of regulars. Good tots. It's a nice and homey Irish pub with decent food and entertainment!
