In fairness, I think it's important to know what you support when you visit this business…read more Courtney, the current owner, does not follow the Employment Standards Act, Section 14, when it comes to paying out tips or tip-outs to the employees. The legislation requires that all tips be paid out immediately; unfortunately, Courtney refuses to pay the servers all their tips for weeks, even though she knows they need their tips to live on. Courtney has been advised of the legislation, yet seems to think she is above the law. Anytime anyone speaks up, they no longer work there. Here is what you can do to support the employees: Pay the tip in cash - This way, they get it immediately, and Courtney has no opportunity to withhold it from the employee. Send a clear message to the employer - Let them know that you cannot support a business that prevents employees from receiving their tips as per the ESA. Regarding tip-outs, we have asked several times to show us the sales and how tip-outs for bartenders and kitchen staff are calculated, yet every time we ask, it is ignored. I have asked to be paid the money I am owed for weeks, only to be ignored. This is the employer you are supporting.

I dropped into this local watering hole on a Friday around noon and it was very quiet. There was…read moreactually one patron at the bar when I arrived and one more when I left. Two fellows occupied another table. Hmmm, where is everybody? Despite being an Irish Pub, the owners appeared to be Indian. All the staff that I saw were Indian, including the lone server/bartender. Now, that's not a bad thing because I love Indian food. I was actually quite happy! I just never expected it to be disguised as an Irish pub. I chose the Butter Chicken (Authentic creamy butter chicken sauce served with rice and naan bread). It was actually quite good but not quite up to the standard of an authentic Indian restaurant. It seemed to be lacking some of the creaminess that I've become used to in butter chicken. So this was very good, but perhaps not as authentic as I was hoping for. The rest of the place looked like what I would expect from an Irish pub. The (faux) worn furniture, the dart boards, the pool table. the fireplace, a good variety of beer on tap. Hopefully the evening crowd is better. There is one thing that I found to be a turnoff - the strong smell of air freshener or some kind of cleaning agent. Tone this down for a better, more natural experience. Please.

Problem is, the regular patrons, that smoke, now smoke and vape on the patio. Servers do nothing. Pathetic. The smokers never followed the 9 meter rule, always a cloud of smoke at the entrance, next to a daycare. Now they take over the patio. So there are so more patios that are not ruled by the clients. Too bad, nice patio, and great food, but I'll leave it to the inmates. Mackenzie's, magwyers, portly, st. Louis, even Boston pizza respect your air.

And then, the food... oh man... it was great. First, the Donaleigh's Signature Burger, that burger was massive, juicy, and packed with flavor. It had a combination of the beef patty, crispy bacon, white cheddar, BBQ sauce, and onion crisps on a toasted sesame brioche bun. It was absolute magic. As for the sides (which you can pick either salad, fries, or soup of the day). I had fries, it was good, nothing special. Then, do not even get me started on the Chicken Club. My partner got it but I had a bite, it was like a party in my mouth. The Naan bread was soft and warm, and the filling was amazing: chicken, bacon, boiled egg, basil aioli... it was all so good. For his side dish, he got garden salad, which tasted fresh ( I got a bite of that too lol). I shared my fries ;-) Moving on, the service was great. Our server was super friendly and attentive, checking in on us regularly to make sure everything was okay. And the best part? Parking was a breeze! In Downtown Barrie. Free parking after 5pm (we parked at 9 Simcoe Street), just a 3-minute walk from the pub. Donaleigh's Irish Public House is killing it with their live events! They have got Genevieve Cyr and Nate Douglas performing soon, and The Rob Watts Band is taking the stage too. But honestly comedy shows are a must. We need more,especially since there is no YUK YUK comedy in Barrie. Hopefully, they will keep bringing in more comedians to make it a regular thing.
