Irish bar with huge barstools and plenty of nice tables throughout. Also has a patio for those wanting to sit out doors. Bartender John made up a drink for me which was fun and delish. We had a few drinks and ordered food to go. I get to the hotel and open my box of Triple decker club expecting one of those little triangle things and noooo it's a massive full sandwich. It was beyond good! I barely made it thru half and regretted not offering to share with 3 other people. Came with fries which were also tasty. Mark this down as the best place to get a club. I know, I know, woooo Katy it's a cold sandwich. I can make this myself at home. No you can't. We all know things made by someone else are always better. Just go get one and enjoy. Oh and bring at least one friend to share it with. read more

Warning to all the people who DO NOT live on food stamps, and out of towners. If you want to get robbed and have absolutely no help or a smidge of customer service this is the place for you! Come for the food, pay for the "service" and then when you get robbed somehow someway of any valuables do NOT expect the staff to help . The MOST this manager will do is check " one spot" if anyone turned it in, and that's that. He will NOT get off his LAZY ass OR ask his staff or try to figure out where you last had your item OR Where you last sat etc, && the manager Most Definitely, will NOT go look on the cameras or offer to . You know "Normal 2024 customer service" BARELY hitting the bar on customer service part You know things that happen in every city that knows what customer service in 2024 is.... ( cities that actually matter....apparently) *****INSTEAD ****** They rather play DEFENSIVE mode, and accuse YOU (the customer/victim) are accusing them of stealing from you. ***even if you didn't say that you just said "the phone was here" and said nothing of the sort... Along with threaten YOU with the cops instead of doing any form any bit of customer service as stated above Defensive sounds guilty to anyone with a brain cell or two , or grew up outside this ridiculous Arkansas bubble. So, if you want to pay this trashy bar and it's trash customer service && GET ROBBED, then thrown out and threatened with the cops as a cherry on top of it all. THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!!!! You will be TREATED like you're the PROBLEM, NOT the VICTIM. ****If you been robbed keep the real comments coming. Put this trash place out of business and clean up downtown Little Rock.... It's about time , enough is enough with these lowlives and the people who help them rather than people who contribute to society! If you support this place, you are just blinding leading out of towners to be robbed and set up like I was. DO NOT VISIT THIS PUB. If someone tells you otherwise they're just trying to get you in a place that plays victim when you're the one who just got victimized. Stay out of this bar unless you want the same unfair treatment read more

Dugan's Pub - Bar area. Great pub vibe. #locals - Irish Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

So... The hubs and I sauntered into Dugan's on a whim! We'd randomly decided on a March Madness crawl in downtown Little Rock and Dugan's happened to be the first spot on our path to President Clinton Avenue after we parked. It was a beautiful day and their patio was packed, so we looked at each other, shrugged, and decided to stop in! It's so cute, so authentically pubby, and definitely gave us ample St. Patty's Day feels! We were immediately greeted by Jenn who (from that point on) became our personal Dugan's tour guide! She is awesome, very knowledgeable on drinks and LR happenings, makes a killer rum punch, and had us feeling like we were in an episode of "Cheers!" Whilst "making ourselves at home" and gabbing with Jenn, we munched on cheese dip and chips that were pretty great! We'll definitely swing back by soon as we totally dig Dugan's (and Jenn)! read more

Okay, I'm a sucker for an Irish Pub. My first visit, many, many visits ago, made a heck of an impression on me. This place took me back to my college days and Oktoberfest when I was a great bit younger. Back when beer was served in pitchers just for fun. Everything on the menu that I've had is delicious. Especially the pork chops! If you come for food come hungry as they're very generous, especially the chops. As far as drinks, it's an Irish Pub, so get outta here with that silly notion that Dugan's would be any less than wonderfully Pub-ish! Staff? Ha! They're all fantastic and perfectly fit the Irish Pub vibe I've grown to love. Polite and accommodating, but don't take no $hit. The final piece to an Irish Pub trifecta. All that gibberish to say, c'mon in and join me for a pint. I'm here more than I prolly should be, but it sure as heck beats a TV in the hotel room. read more

My husband and I were traveling through Little Rock and happened upon Dugan's Pub. So many good things to say about this gem of a pub. The food was amazing and there was a LOT of it. I got a club and my husband got a BLT. The fries are hand cut daily, so good. Hubby had a perfectly poured Guinness. I had a strawberry moonshine mule and a watermelon moonshine mule, really refreshing. The atmosphere was like walking into an old authentic Irish pub. The bartender was helpful and had a great suggestion in a watermelon moonshine mule. The owner stopped and talked with us for a bit, good guy. All in all a great experience, check them out! read more

Great food and service . Drinks are cheap but the atmosphere is a bit stifling if it's a parade or something eventful happening

Came up from Texas for a quick getaway and the weather didn't cooperate! Cold and wet, we stumbled into this this little pub because Google told us to. What a delight! Warm fireplace, real pub feel, fantastic Irish coffee and Guinness poured as God intended. Best fish and chips and my husband loved his authentic bangers and mash! I highly recommend! read more

Came in here one day for lunch and will say I wasn't super impressed. Server was kinda rude when asking me to throw away my boyfriends coffee that he brought in to throw away she said "you better not let me see you drinking that" in an extremely sassy and unnecessary tone. Wish I knew her name but she didn't tell me Service was mid and food was mid. Little too pricey for the quality of service and food. Clean and kept up enough though. read more

The steak sandwich is undefeated. The service is always great, and the drink selection is solid.

Just finished a delicious corn beef and cabbage dish along with the bacon cheddar burger. Both meals were delicious and enough for 2 on each entree. Service was good and the atmosphere upbeat. read more

Since I am a frequent user of Yelp, both in my own city and when traveling, I decided to make a better effort in posting reviews this year. We spent the night in Little Rock and saw the comments on this pub were decent... so we were very happy to find our experience exceeded expectations. Dugan's has all the right ingredients for an Irish pub. Cozy atmosphere, check. A fireplace in middle of the bar, comfortable leather seats, nice decor, a large bar to sit at. The tap and bottled beer are served very cold. The food looked great and tasted great! I had a club sandwich and there was plenty of quality meat, two types of cheese and an excellent sourdough bread. My husband had the fish and chips, the fish had a light and crispy batter, with generous portions of actual fish in relation to the batter. We requested crispy fries and they came out exactly as asked. The serving staff was both efficient and friendly, brought everything quickly and accommodated little requests with ease. Also, since this is a COVID time visit, the tables were socially distant and both staff and patrons all respected wearing masks when walking around. We travel through Little Rock frequently, and look forward to returning to Dugan's on our next visit. Cheers! read more

We had other options but figured you can never go wrong at an Irish Pub. We were correct. I got the Chicken Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes. It was great. The chicken was moist and the batter was just right. Our server was fun and friendly. Judging from the other people around us, they were having a good time too. read more

Dugan's Pub - a glass of beer on a table - Irish Near Me - Little Rock, Arkansas

This place was an easy walk from our nearby hotel. We seated ourselves at one of the few free tables and immediately met our server, who took good care of us. I ordered a hot apple cider with cinnamon schnapps, quite nice on a 12-degree night, while my husband had a stout. I splurged on the salmon with rice and Brussels sprouts. I had read a Yelp review that mentioned the sprouts were good, and wow, they were! The rice was just plain rice, but it worked well with the fish and the dill sauce. My husband had the beef stew, and the spoonful I sampled was good, though salty. I sampled his soda bread and found it incredibly moist and delicious. Our son had the kid meal macaroni and cheese, which was quite a heap of pasta! There was no way he could eat it all; if we hadn't been in a hotel, I would have happily taken the leftovers home. read more

Came here on Sunday afternoon. Place was busy and hoped we will have a good time. However that was the only good experience at the place. Waited for about 30 mins till we even saw our server. Me and my wife were watching each other's faces on hunger till then. We even had our young one with us who didn't get her meal from then kids menu. After that assurance we waited another 40 mins till we saw our order. Everyone near us who came much after got their orders and till that time our server didn't even come to check on us. She once passed by and mentioned our order was on its way but clearly she was just pacifying us we didn't get our food for much much longer. Eventually our food came, was cold and we just returned it all back. Horrible experience. Not coming here again read more

Wow. The House poutine was incredible. Local stout better than Guinness. Had the fish and chips split for two. Excellent choice. read more

Great Irish pub, good selection of beer and whiskey, clean, nice layout. Staff was friendly and prompt, even as it was filling up for the night. I had the corned beef and cabbage, it hit the spot, and probably enough to share. Friend enjoyed the bangers and mash. Sports on the TV's. Looks to be a hit with the locals, but we were just passing through. Next time I'm in LR, I'll be coming back. read more

Overall good experience. Portions are good size, I got corned beef hash- very greasy and the corned beef was over cooked on some pieces- the beef stew was water and lacked flavor. I was here several years ago and it is what brought me back as I was in the area. Based off of today's experience- not sure I will return. The staff was welcoming and the restaurant was clean. Food was below par this trip. Wife got the fish and chips- chips were not cooked all the way and this was disappointing- she asked for crispy and they were 2 steps below- did not send back as we needed to continue on our trip, fish- decent but not great. I really wanted to give 4 stars, however the flavor profile of the food overall would not allow for this. Blake- great server. read more

Environment: The establishment is medium to large. It seems like the bar and kitchen takes up most of the dinning space. The restaurant has a stoned wall fireplace that's in the middle of the restaurant (but you can walk on either side). Slightly dark in some areas but you can choose to sit by a window. In the back of the restaurant you can play darts. Service: Upon entering, I was greeted by a nice bartender. So imagine my surprise when our waitress wasn't so friendly and extremely curt. However EVENTUALLY she warmed up and redeemed herself. Food was pretty good. I sampled the mozzarella sticks. They were huge, fried just right, and I loved that the breading had a hint of sweetness. I also had the triple decker club and onion rings, also very good! read more

A long standing, or at least as long as I have been traveling through Little Rock, pseudo Irish pub and sports bar. A wood bar with big cushy stools to sit in. An area for darts and an outdoor area as well. Plenty of TV's. This place can be completely packed with "Irish" themes or just packed for a sporting event. As such the service is very business like and proficient. If not the most personable, which is not a bad thing. Plenty of beer taps, but only a handful of quality beers. There are some from Arkansas and Little Rock, but that is only a few taps. The rest is macros and all the nitro beers you would expect for an Irish Pub in the states. Plenty of Irish Whiskey however. Food is pub grub, and nothing particularly special on that front. Lots of sandwiches and burgers, and fried stuff. Not bad at all but just A-OK. Overall, a good pub to stop into for a drink or two while hopping around the now very interesting downtown area of Little Rock. read more

Nice Irish bar! We sat at the bar and Haylan gave us great service. We showed up on a Sunday night just as a huge thunderstorm arrived, so everyone crowded in. Despite the unexpectedly large crowd, Dugan's pumped out food and drinks treating those of us passing through like "regulars"! We'll definitely be back next time we're in Little Rock. read more

We walked in about 15 minutes prior to the kitchen closing with a group of 10. The waitress and kitchen awesome, and took care of us very well at the last minute. The food was great and the service was excellent. Everyone in my group enjoyed their food. When in doubt, check this place out! read more

Can't truly rate Dugan's food other than it's appetizers. Since I wasn't all that hungry I opted for the appetizer sampler which consisted of fried mozzarella cheese sticks, fried mushrooms and chicken strips. Mozzarella sticks were above normal tasting, mushrooms were as normal as any other I've had as was the chicken strips. Tea was good and the atmosphere was very good. read more

I was visiting Little Rock with some friends and I really needed food and it was after 10 p.m. On the advice of the bartender at another restaurant, I ended up here on a Wednesday night. I was a bit hesitant as Irish Pubs can be hit or miss but are usually a miss. When we arrived, it turns out it's karaoke night! I don't participate but I always like watching people who do! I hadn't had a Club sandwich in ages, so I got the Triple Decker. I had a couple smallish changes for it and they were able to accommodate me with no issue. I ordered the fruit as a side. When it came out, I thought I had made a mistake. As a human, I am not able to unhinge my jaw so I wasn't sure I could do justice to the sandwich, especially since it was also as big as my head. (See photo!) I made a little mess and my friends ended up filming me eating it... and it was AMAZING. The bread was buttered and grilled, the herb mayo was fantastic, lots of meat and cheese. The side fruit was honeydew, cantaloupe, and grapes - all of which were ripe and delicious. I took half the sandwich and almost all the fruit home to devour for lunch the next day. Best sandwich I've had in years! Also, service was fantastic and our server (I'm sorry! I forgot your name!) was super sweet and attentive. read more

We stopped in to visit and have a few drinks to end the night. The interior is laid back. Nothing fancy or extravagant, just comfortable. We had a few drinks and a couple of friends ordered food.

If you are looking for a nice laid-back place to go relax and drink a beer or two and visit with friends, this is an ideal choice. read more

I've had the Dugan's Pub Monday special in the past. Jambalaya....... Or what I like to call it, Jamba-licious.!!!! I don't believe that a meal can be too good, but if it can, this is real close. Very tasty with just enough spice to set it apart from any other I've had. And I'm also including for home grown cajuns who state they make the best jambalaya in the south. I'm not 100% if it's served any other day than Monday at lunch. But if so, do yourself a favor and try it. read more
