    PUB NACHOS with chicken
    Caroline W.

    This is absolutely the place to be on a sunny Saturday afternoon. Some friends and I found a table on the rooftop. There was a line to order at the bar, but it moved quickly. Food was brought to our table, but we had to ask for silverware. I ordered the pub nachos with chicken which were a solid choice. Definitely a great atmosphere with a casual, laid back vibe.

    Bartender

    Didn't eat here just had drinks. Great music. TERRIBLE bartender the night of June 3. We had been ordering red wine from our waitress and she was great. Then she clocked out and my husband went to the bar and said "can I get 2 Old Fashions?" The bartender looked at him condescendingly and said "No". My husband said "I can't have 2 Old Fashions?" the bartender said "I don't have time to be muddling cherries. You can have a beer". My husband was the ONLY PERSON ordering a drink at the bar. We left and won't be back.

    The food here could be improved upon, and that wasn't always the case, it used to be a good place to sit down and grub on an Irish meal with an Guinness (or any other pint). Recently, though it seems like the food quality is fading and the menu isn't what is used to be. The last time I went here for lunch, I met a colleague from out of town. I had given a few options for restaurants on the Plaza and they chose this, which upon instant I was disappointed I even offered it as an option, which is not a good sign. We sat down by the window in a hightop table, that's the first thing, the seating here is a bit odd. Even how the bar is situated isn't the most inviting and doesn't really replicate the feel of an Irish pub which, is what you would expect a bar and grille named "O'Dowd's" would be going for. There's very few booths and most of the tables are high tops with a lot of under utilized space, that from experience I know they utilize as a dance floor on some weekends when they charge a cover like a club (or at least used to a few years back). Anyways onto the food and the service, both which could use fine tuning. The service is notoriously slow in my opinion when the restaurant is nearly empty, we were left waiting for drinks, our check, boxes, pretty much everything that needs attending to while dining out. The corned beef sliders were fine. They didn't have an extra flavors, I don't even recall is they had kraut or not (and the menu doesn't say) and I think the only thing that saved them was grainy mustard which I adore. Other than that, for an Irish restaurant, it's a shame this sliders were so lackluster and forgettable. They have happy hour appetizers, none that looked like something I'd have to come back for. I'm not sure how this place survives, except for the patio and its alcohol sales.

    Margarita

    Visited O'Dowd's today with friends for mid day drinks. Staff were friendly and welcoming. I ordered a couple of margaritas for friends, super affordable and tasty. The live music was a plus as well. This is a perfect place to grab drinks after work, during the day, or even a before starting the night type of place.

    Welcome!

    Cool little spot in KC! Had some beers and no food. The view on the rooftop was lovely and there was a lot of people hanging out at the top. The bartenders were friendly, seemed very cozy and some regulars watching the Lakers play!

    Loved the atmosphere you can seat yourself which I personally love. Our server was great even when we picked something off the menu that we didn't up liking! The food was delicious I got the nachos with ground beef and a Caesar salad and my boyfriend got the burger the fries were perfect and so was the mimosa!

    Rooftop patio
    Lauren E.

    O'dowd's is great! Fun atmosphere and good food and drinks. I always enjoy the patio on the roof it has great vibes!

    came here with some friends last night, the heated patio is nice! went basic and got some chicken tenders but they were good, fries pretty bland. service was good!

    Crab cake sandwich
    Amri L.

    I've never heard of a crab cake sandwich but I'm glad I did! An interesting choice of flavors that blended magically! Will be going again! I would definitely go to ODowds early to mid day it's less crowded!

    Conroy's Public House is quickly becoming one of our go-to local spots. While they've been around…read morefor quite some time--and we've visited often--it's recently earned a permanent place in our regular rotation. The menu offers a wide variety of options, from classic Irish pub fare to pasta, burgers, pizza, and more. It's nearly impossible not to find something that satisfies your hunger --even for the pickiest eaters. Over the years, we've tried several dishes and sandwiches and have never been disappointed. On our latest visit, we started with the cheese curds (fried cheesy goodness with marinara sauce), then ordered the cottage pie and the club sandwich for our entrées. As expected, everything was fresh, flavorful, and served with friendly, attentive service. Call it the luck of the Irish, but if you're close enough to visit Conroy's, your pot of gold is waiting. Whether it's lunch, dinner, or brunch, you're in for a rewarding dining experience.

He gave me excellent service and was very knowledgeable about the menu. I normally would stick to my comfort zone and just get chicken tenders or chicken wraps, but I took Houstins recommendation and had gotten the fish and chips. The fish and chips were so delicious. The cod was fresh and hot and the chips tasted homemade. I look forward to coming back to try other foods and get some cocktails.

Gary Westmoreland, so I know a thing or two about Suburban neighborhood bars parading as Irish public houses. First things first, apologies for my long absence. After the untimely demise of my frequent dining partner Maurice (who definitely slipped and fell on his own), I just needed a break from my Yelping. #RIP #accidentshappen But, enough about me and my shenanigans. Let's talk about Conroy's. This place is sort of like a zoo without cages for the animals. After I walked in from the bright parking lot, I found myself in a dark bar full of people mostly old enough to make me feel young again. A gal with Viking hair shouted "sit wherever ya like!" from behind the bar (I think that was Conroy's version of a host). I chose a tiny little table for 2 (sigh, I was solo) amidst the crowd. I was greeted some moments later with a menu twice the size of my table. I donned my cheaters and began chapter one of the largest menu I've ever seen. The menu was resplendant with classic Irish dishes like nachos, pizza and burgers. I felt like I smelled a hint of Irish Spring soap and was whisked away to the Emerald Isle!! I kid, of course. There's plenty of fare from the land of the Leprechauns and faeries. I chose cottage pie because it seemed authentic and comforting. Even though it's been years since Maurice's tragic ACCIDENT, I still find myself needing comfort food when I'm dining solo. It was delish. I wanted to lick the rarebit it was served in clean, but the nosy man seated nearby at a large round table (by himself, mind you) kept staring at me from above what appeared to be a pint glass full of communion wine. He had a disconcertingly large head and facial features. I wasn't sure if he needed a friend or a fresh corpse for his crawlspace. Anyway, I maintained my manners and didn't clean the plate like a Beverly Hills chihuahua. I didn't try any booze on this visit because my Uber account is locked due to a disagreement with a swarthy gentleman who mistook my friendliness for an advance and yada yada. Anyhoo, I don't dare risk a dewey when I'm driving mother's Chrysler. Anyways, this place was great and the imposing, cologne-sodden Tongan boy who served me was a real sweetie pie. I think I'll download Lyft and stop by soon for some Irish beer and another bit of cozy fare. Slainte!

It was very hot but we cooled off inside. I'd like to try the patio if possible if I go back. We sat in the upper room due to being able to see the tvs. It was busy but not hectic and we found a table right away. I like Irish beer but I tend to get the local brews when I travel and I'm glad I did. Boulevard was pretty good! If I had more time I would have looked for a six pack to drink before paying RIDICULOUS prices at the stadium or FIFA Fan Fest! Service was good, quick and friendly. I brought my bottled water in, as most restaurants use the bleachy tap, and they were ok with bringing me a glass and some ice. The rest rooms were smallish but clean. Next time I'll also try to get the 'authentic' Irish or local fare!
