    Seriously this was one of the best burgers I've had!!!
    Bea T.

    OK, this is the second time I've been to Dooliner. I have to say this was a really good experience because this was by far the best Angus burger I've ever had and it's served with hand cut fries to die for. Plate was swept clean and I highly recommend it. Service was spot on! Loved it! Food is excellent obviously I'm gonna come back here again!

    Great burger!!

    First time visit, and came in on a Sunday afternoon with two friends. We arrived around 1:00 and there was one hard-working bartender running the bar, tables and outside (she eventually had two more coworkers 2 hours later, but she was hustling!). I had a delicious burger - cooked just right and juicy - one friend had a salad with steak tips and the other a fried seafood dish. The food came out really quickly which was impressive because I saw just one person in the kitchen! Parking on West Street is easy, and there is also the lot right next door. It was a gorgeous day and we should have sat outside, but were inside since one person wanted to hear the band that is there on Sundays (we did not hear it as they didn't show up, we hope they are OK?). Their outside sign said that dogs are allowed on the patio, so bring your best pal with you.

    Fiddlehead IPA and other craft beers on tap.

    This place is just opened, but off to a good start. Great craft beer menu, including a good poor Guinness on tap. We ordered appetizers and found the calamari was soft and flavorful. The curry chips were plentiful and the sauce had a nice kick to it. I ordered the shepherds pie, which was authentic in the sense of chunks of chunks of carrots, meat, and turnips under a healthy pile of mashed potatoes. A friend I was with ordered fish and chips and said they were the best he's had after all of his travels in Ireland. Look forward to returning here soon.

    The service is excellent from second you walk in door. The food was traditional and the prices were reasonable. I really enjoyed it. Had pulled pork, fry pickles and corned beef. Goos place

    The pub needs to offer a bigger selection of NA brews. However, the service was great.

We asked the manager for some napkins to prop up the wobbly table and he said (quote) "Why don't you tell your kid not to stand on his chair" and walked away. The kid in question was literally sitting in his chair with one foot against the table. We explained to the manager the impact of what he said, and gave him multiple opportunities to apologize. We get it: its St Patrick's Day in an Irish bar and it's stressful. But instead of recognizing that he snapped: he doubled down and tried to convince us that his language fine, and that we were in the wrong for calling him out. I even talked with him an hour later, after it had cooled off, and he continued to be aggressive and dismissive. A bad manager is one thing. But our server didn't acknowledge the awkwardness (even as other families watched in shock), just trying to rush us out. The food was probably the worst it's ever been at Stone's, which raises questions of why. It's understandable to have a bad day, it's *not* ok to set the tone for your staff and establishment that berating your customers, unprompted, is acceptable.

We were advised light snacks so figured we should probably get a base before heading that way. We walked in to the coolest Irish pub that opened up in the back. It was way bigger than I expected. We quickly ordered drinks and I ordered a Moscow mule (my go to). It was in a copper mug and absolutely delicious. My husband ordered a beer, which he enjoyed too. We ordered some oysters and corn ribs for an appetizer. I had never had corn ribs before and was pleasantly surprised. My husband and I split the fish and chips and I'm really glad we did. The fish was extremely large and almost filled the plate. It was crispy and delicious. It was definitely well made. The sauce on the side was even better, too. Highly recommend this place for a quick bite and a pint.

Super relaxed atmosphere and tv's, so it would be a great place to watch a game. Friendly bartender and the fish and chips was good. They also have pizzas that looked great. My friend had a pesto with burrata and she said it was awesome. They also have gluten-free pizza, whihc is good to know. Our table neighbor had the pork chop, which also looked great. They have a small parking lot, which would fill up quickly. We went on a very "off" time, so we were able to park in that lot. Otherwise, you'd need to find street parking.
