And Guinness meat pie was quite heavenly. Very juicy and tender beef inside w/ bitterness from guinness. This is perfect marriage between two. This place could've gotten 4 stars if the waiting time wasn't too long. 1st dish didn't come out until 40 minutes later. It didn't look back up as there was only one party of 3 beside us who ordered food at that time. At least, salad could've come out sooner. Maybe we came here in wrong occasion because we had to catch the bus to airport within next 30min after we got the food. We probably should've come here when we were not-so-in-hurry even though we thought we gave enough time. But I had to say, as soon as I put the food in my mouth, the wait was worth it.

My fellow diner had the "Special" of Kumara and Onion soup, that came with a single piece of buttered bread. The staff were friendly enough and checked on us a couple of times. For me, it was just an average meal, nothing special to entice me back to try more options. The price seemed a little high for what we got.

Great atmosphere, lots of indoor and outdoor seating- both for a couple or larger groups. Good parking available in front and around back. The drink selection is broad and the food what you'd expect from a pub. I had the small order of fish and chips. I'd share a photo but I could not wait to dig in once it came. Chips were crisp and flavorful. The fish flakey and delicious. The salad was ok. Wait staff were friendly and attentive. All in all if you are on the 1 and hungry or just need to take a break scoot over here.

Actually it's not little at all, but very large and spacious inside. Even the outdoor section is nice and large, with many tables for the smokers or for the folk who prefer to drink outdoors in nice weather. The drinks and food here are pretty good I reckon, and quite cheap too. But I think this place holds a special place in my heart because I used to frequent the place every other week when I lived in the area, and now when I go there it's almost impossible not to see someone who I know. A warm friendly atmosphere.

On our recent visit to Auckland and participating in the World Masters Games, we were looking for a…read morecasual place to grab a drink and some easy comfort / bar food. O'Hahan's Irish Pub in the Viaduct by the harbor seemed like a great place to try as a short walk from the hotel. First impressions are important, and if I listened to mine I would have bolted as soon as I walked inside. The place was very loud (lots of rugby and football/soccer) on the televisions and groups of revelers raising a pint or two. But what really almost had me going for the door was the lack of lighting. I don't mean that this place had romantic mood lighting, I mean this place was down right dark. I like clean, and when places are dark my immediate thoughts are that poor lighting hides poor cleaning. I was talked into staying and knowing how hungry we were and casually dressed, another option on this evening was probably not a quick solve. So we took our seats and proceeded to order. Mind you we needed our cellphones to see the menu, and I never felt like such a senior citizen in having to do that in a restaurant before. As I said, comfort / bar food was goal. So we ordered the garlic bread (Irish style) to start and it was ideal when washed down with our beverages. The crispy fried chicken salad was fair, not the freshest of lettuce, but certainly not terrible either. There was plenty of chicken which was served hot and crispy as advertised so it is nice to report that they didn't skimp on the portion size. Also ordered was the traditional fish and chips. The order was huge and was also piping hot right from the fryer. The white fish was fresh and moist and the chips were the right crispiness for us. The food was far better than I thought it would be, but that is not to say it was fabulous as much as to say I was pleasantly surprised. I would give the food alone a 2.5 and the beverages a 3, but the atmosphere a 2. I probably wouldn't go here again other than to cheer on a team and raise a glass to celebrate with some good friends in a casuals & friendly atmosphere.

The renovations and facelift have done wonders for this local pub, and the changes are positive. The decor is still traditional pub style, but not so dark and dank as before, reds and dark woods prevail. The food has taken a bit of a jump up, although the Sunday roasts with Yorkshire puddings were a little bit of a letdown, as the puddings were a bit bland, but the portions were healthy and it wasn't expensive, so fair standard for pub fare. On our second visit, we weren't quite as impressed though, after ordering a steak medium rare, it arrived pretty much well done, but then that seems to be pretty standard at all restaurants around town, you have to ask for rare to get it medium! But overall, a great little local pub to enjoy a beer in the sun and some good old pub grub.

This restaurant used to be called CBD, but it underwent a revamp several months back, changing from…read morea "pub" to an "Irish pub." As CBD, I went there a couple of times and generally thought the food was fine, but the service was so slow and painful that I couldn't really drag myself there unless nothing else was open in the area. We went to Danny Doolans this past weekend for lunch on a Sunday. I was willing to give it another go. The menu has changed and it seemed that there were a few things that sounded good. It was freezing outside and I was drawn to the Guinness Pie (my husband got this as well). The idea of its potential in my head, unfortunately, led to disappointment when the dish actually arrived. The presentation was fine, nothing special. The mashed potatoes were not warm and there were peas piled up on them. Thankfully, the pie was much better. I wasn't really into the style of this pie (ingredients underneath a pie top - there was no pie sides or bottom, so, not really a pie). However, the flavor was pretty decent and it was warm, which was what I was wanting. We were the only patrons in the restaurant at the time we went. Our server was friendly and attentive, but it still took a while for the food to come out. In the end, the food is OK, nothing special and you can definitely get a better meal at many nearby places along Hood Street. That said, it's not the worst place, the atmosphere is OK and the food isn't entirely awful. If someone drags you there, it's not the end of the world. There is a kids menu, which my 3-year-old was happy with, so that was plus :)
