    My husband and I have stopped in a handful of times this year and have always had a good experience, whether we're just there for drinks or for drinks and food. Service behind the bar is always friendly and prompt. Shots are generous. When you order a pint, it's an Imperial pint, and prices are great at $5 - $6 depending what you get. Their food menu is standard bar favorites with a few Irish staples mixed in. I've enjoyed all the food I've ordered. I feel this is one of those rare places that hasn't completely jacked up prices "due to COVID" which is rare almost three years into this monster. The crowd tends to lean 45+++. I'm always the youngest person there besides the waitress. This isn't a spot to get rowdy. But you will find plenty of TVs, pull tabs, Keno, a TouchTunes jukebox and darts, if any of those tickle your fancy. I am glad I discovered Dunleavy's and look forward to more visits in the future.

    Great food and awesome Irish bar just around the corner from the house. We have been living here for about 6 years now. What's funny is we decided to spend our date nite here. We told the waitress this was our first time. She greeted us with a big smile and warm welcome. All your Irish drinks are here and beers. Try their buffalo wings just remember medium can be just a little hot. They have 15% discount for all first responders and veterans I just felt right at home. Ask for Casandra Dunleavys yes it's still family own she is the best. That is all. Chief If you ever doubt then just trust yourself first.

    How's This For A Guinness Tap?

    I contacted local adult beverage guru, Allison F. to get her advice on a good Irish pub in the area. She recommended one of her nearby watering holes called Dunleavy's. Now, it's not so much a pub as it is more of a friendly neighborhood bar with some Irish trappings. The folks there are warm and welcoming in any case, so it fit the bill just fine. The afternoon bartender lady was super friendly. She offered me a food menu and it seemed to have a good variety of bar type foods at reasonable prices. I wasn't really hungry so I passed on the eats but I did go for a couple Irish brews. I enjoyed one each, Smithwick's and Guiness. Both were smaller sized pours but they were reasonably priced at $5 each. Two beers, ten dollars? Sounds good to me. If I lived in the area, I'd go there from time to time. 5 Stars

    Been coming here for years for beers. Thought I'd stop in for lunch on a Saturday for a 1/2 pound ground round, ordered medium well. It took longer than expected even though they weren't busy. Came pretty pink in the middle for medium well, arguably the 1/3 patty and not the 1/2, and wasn't warm enough to melt the cheese. I'll be back for the beer, but won't be eating there again soon.

    Ruben sandwich and chips

    Came here for a cold beer and burger after work and at 25% capacity you wouldn't think it would take over an hour for a burger and a Ruben sandwich. By the time my food got to me (which I asked about at least 3 times) it was cold, dry and super salty. Beer was cold and good but my beer has been empty since after my first 25 minutes here. Been here 2 hours now and still no fresh beer. Server was nice but not very tentative. Bottom line, I'm gonna end up getting this burger to go and giving it to my dog or something. Very disappointed which sucks because the person we came here with loves this place and swore it was amazing. My first impression was definitely under par and sad to say I won't be back.

    Awesome 1/2 lb burgers. Nice selection of beers, genuine Irish atmosphere. Great, friendly service. My kind of place.

    Fish fry menu...

    Great Burgers and great fish and chips... $8.75 for a hearty platter of fish and chips. Hand trimmed and dipped in beer batter Try the perch "dry" instead of bear batter... More of a thin cornmeal coating than a heavy beer batter which is always too heavy for a delicate fish like perch... One of the best bar burgers around and plenty of choices to pick from The Dunleavys have been in the bar business forever and understand what an Irish pub should be like.. Lots of regulars but all are welcome! It's Family owned for a long time so prices are cheap as they probably have no mortgage or rent like most bars do...

The ambience is very cool, there was a couple of older gentlemen cracking jokes that just had me laughing my ass off. We ordered drinks first and FINALLY Yuengling is out in Michigan. We ordered an appetizer first which was Mac & Cheese bites, they were just okay, the deep fried part was really good but the Mac and cheese on the inside didn't really have any flavoring, a little disappointed. Then for the main course I had a Cajun Burger (rare) with Cajun Fries. When the burger got to my table it was MASSIVE, I wasn't expecting such a huge burger, the meat was tender, juicy and full of flavor,everything a rare burger should be, it was really delicious, these cooks know how to make a great burger. So then I finish my drink and I look back at the bar at the tap list and low and behold they had CBS, it is very difficult to find a bar that has CBS on draft and I was shocked, I had to get it. This is the HOLY GRAIL of craft beers. The experience here was really good everything was phenomenal from the waitresses to the burger with the exception of the Mac n Cheese bites. I wouldn't order those again. I have always seen this place and have been wanting to try it, its always packed on the weekends.

    Nothing Irish about this one. Nothing Irish in menu. Guinness pours and not proper pours. Tried the…read morepoutine and it was so salty this salt lover could not eat it. Seems like a nice locals pub just not an Irish one.
