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.

The place was mostly empty but had many staff standing around! After a LONG wait (finally the rest of the standing around staff decided to help), we got our food and drinks. And they were both quite good! A restaurant/bar with decent food/drinks and yet an "ok" rating (I rounded up from 2.5) as opposed to a great rating (would have been a solid 4)....It's obvious the issue is poor service. It's not poor because they were rude, in fact everyone was polite. It's just a long, long wait. Sorry but I will have to chalk that up to poor "front shop management". If you see staff struggling or tables sitting there without service, get others to help out or you help out. Otherwise the rating would be much better.

Not ideal and weren't impressed as we reserved it a few days prior on the patio. Thankfully when we arrived there was one table available that sat our party of 6. Service was good. Our server was very friendly and accommodating. Additional service notes: 1. We didn't all receive waters until 45 minutes into the experience, and we had to ask multiple times for them. 2. The food service itself took a long time considering it wasn't super busy - mains took 1-1.5 hours after ordering. 3. When we finished our dinner we sat with dirty plates for a very long time before they were removed. 4. Coming from Toronto typically when bars/restaurants learn of a special occasion they will comp something or send out celebratory shooters to "get the party going" - could be the area, but was a little disappointed by the lack of acknowledgement from the establishment. However the Food was good, traditional pub fare. Nothing outstanding. Price was a little expensive for what you do get. Drinks were underwhelming. We don't recommend the margaritas. Tasted like bar lime - no tequila taste and for 12-13$ (Toronto pricing) they really should have tasted better considering. Surprised most drinks were $9+ for the area and they were out of coolers and had limited options. There was supposed to be live music but they didn't arrive or go on. (Part of the reason we chose this particular bar). That would have been nice to know ahead of time as we would have likely moved a reservation to a live music spot. All in all in the area that was close to us - Not bad. But not what we had anticipated when we reserved. Basic pub, nice patio - good view If you are looking for live music I would call and ask the day of, as the band/person never showed up to our evening as advertised. Personally I wouldn't go back - unfortunately nothing special.

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.

The garlic bread was a wonderful with lots of cheese and a nice garlic flavour as well, on to the main course in addition to the roast beef there was mashed potatoes and peas and i experienced yorkshire pudding for the first time in my life . the peas were certainly fresh and warm (very good) The yorkshire pudding was very well executed although I'm not sure what all the fuss is about it with it . the mashed potatoes were wonderful the gravy was a great side kick to the potatoes. As for the roast beef it did have a fair bit of fat on it but cooked to my wishes medium well and tasted great.
