    This was our first visit, and we went in right after the lunch hour. The restaurant is very clean. Service was prompt and courteous. We went in specifically for the fish and chips. We don't like thick beer batter, so we were excited to try their panko breaded cod fillets. They were thick cuts of fish, very lightly breaded with their panko seasoning. They said the pieces were small so they gave each of us an extra fillet. They were delicious and not greasy! The fries were also cooked perfect and very good. We will return!

    I've heard a lot about this place so I thought I'd give it a try. I just so happened to walk in during their happy hour, which is top notch. I had their clam chowder with huge bits of clam in it. Waiter was very attentive the entire trip. They have plenty of room to accommodate everyone too. It would be a great place for karaoke!

    First time in and had a good time swinging by for a late lunch. Enjoyed their chowder and shepherds pie, along with the lager. All the food was really good, though there was something in each dish that was really atypical. Like the chowder had sweet peppers in it? And the mashed potatoes in the shepherds pie was chunky and super cheesy. Don’t get me wrong, all good food. Just anticipate a little twist! Nice staff, fair prices, and parking was relatively easy (pay at a meter). Good overall.

    Nice Irish pub and restaurant. Great selection of beers and whiskeys. I ordered steak and it’s delicious. Brown sauce is unique and tasty. Irish family business. Wonderful Irish decorations and atmosphere. Service is good too.

    Some of the best food I've had in Spokane. Went in for Fish and Chips but found some many more gems on the menu. Service (Kylee) was excellent and the atmosphere was inviting and comfortable. Looking forward to going back and knocking off some more of the menu

    Very, very enjoyable lunch here for our first 2023 Restaurant Week experience. The building is familiar to us--from a previous establishment--but they have decorated it with a traditional Irish Pub swerve that goes well with all the warm, wood trimmings. They have a nice pre fixe menu this year for RW, and we got the full gamut, dining with one of our sons. Standouts were their Boxty Cakes for the first course; the Chicken Pot Pie on the second; and, an amazing Bread Pudding for dessert, that has us looking to make one at home, now, haha. And don't think for a second that all the rest of the offerings weren't spot on. It was a nice bite, every time. Our waitress was great, and did not put up with my silly self, without flippin' me s*** right back at me. I love folks like that. Shawn O'Donnell's accounted for themselves very well with this family. Slàinte Mhath...!

    It was a great time and food here. All dished we ordered was amazingly delicious. Guinness dark beer was served properly. It was worth the trip and I will definitely go back again when I get a chance to visit Spokane again. Highly recommend here.

    Fantastic Fish and Chips, and delicious moist Corned Beef which you can get on Happy Hour or regular menu as a side order. All their sauces are made on site; the cocktail sauce was awesome! The FAC's are herb crusted rather than battered, the best I have ever had. The serve was spot on; drinks refilled quickly, checked in to see if everything was tasting right or if anything else was needed. From the looks of all the food around me, everything was well portioned and very well presented. I will have to try more, but those Fish and Chips are hard to give up.

    We were looking for an Irish Pub that served Killkenny. O'Donnell 's had it and much more. The food was amazing. Our server Jim was on point...sense of humor, friendly and an excellent server. I can't forget the young man who brought out our food. I loved the team approach. We will definitely be returning!!

    The food was really good! Our favorite was the bread pudding! It was by far one of my favorite desserts from a restaurant. The chicken pot pie had really good flavor. We also had a chipotle chicken wrap. The chicken was cooked perfectly and it was a good blend of ingredients for a wrap.

    Had an amazing experience here today! I came here with my parents who had the fish and chips and Reuben sandwich, and I had their Guinness beef stew with soda bread. The stew was amazing, the beef was cooked to perfection, and the mashed potatoes paired very nicely! I also got their corned beef and cabbage to go and had it for dinner which was also amazing! The beef had an amazing texture and a delicious, somewhat salty taste to it, and the horseradish gave it a nice kick! And the soda bread was outstanding! It was nice and soft, with soft whipped butter that was easy to spread. Their creme brûlée was amazing, and I liked the little shamrock cookie that came with it! The service was great, and it felt very authentic with the Irish music playing in the background and the Irish language on the menu. I will definitely be back!

    This place is great. I've made it through several of the items on the menu: fish and chips, Sheppards pie, Mac n cheese, stew, Reuben. They were all fantastic. You must top it off with the bread pudding. Man is that great! The staff are super friendly too.

    The food was great, the Guinness of course was great, they have lunch menu smaller portions for the people that aren’t real big eaters, and it was way enough food. I added chowder to it, which was amazing, but nearly put me over the top on quantity. NOT complaining!. Normally I don’t like clam chowder, as the clams are a little pieces of rubber. This chowder was wonderful. The service is great, and the building itself is an experience. Take time to look around!

    Waitress was friendly and very helpful. The food was fantastic, but it was a tad bit spendy. I paid $30.00 for Shepard's pie and creme brulee. It's worth the price though if you can spare the extra money. I apologize for the photo of it being half eaten, but it didn't cross my mind beforehand. Oh, I definitely recommend trying the soda bread with the butter. It's to die for. Probably my favorite thing so far.

    Faithfully decorated Irish pub on Northern outskirts of Spokane. Varied menu includes the standards; stew, mac and cheese, fish and chips and meatloaf. Check out the Quick Lunch menu for tasty deals. The "Real Deal" is on nitro tap. Delicious food and authentic atmosphere to boot!

    Had the fish and chips and it was pretty tasty. But I felt the service was lacking especially at the bar. It wasn't that busy and sitting there with my hands on my chin should have said," take my order please." I ordered a Coors light draft and it was SKANKY tasting. Like it was stale or something. Never have I had draft beer taste like that. Nasty; glad I got the small one. The inside of the place is very nice, EXCEPT the floors were ratty. I mean really bad in the dining room and bathroom. Can't have a nice place with run down floors. Hence the 3 star review. If it were based solely on the food 4 stars easy. But I always base my reviews on several factors. So overall 3 stars. If you don't care about the other stuff, no problem.

    Big fan of this place for both dine-in and to-go. The fish & chips are some of the best in town; always crispy and flavorful! I also love the clam chowder especially because it does NOT contain bacon like most chowders do. Service is always friendly, too! They’re currently running a different special for every day in March leading up to St. Patrick’s Day, so go check them out!

    Reuben sandwich was good. Not the best I've had—but not the worst. The fries that came with the sandwich were weak. Dessert (creme brulee) was excellent but slow to arrive (and did so without utensils). Worst part was being seated at the table closest to the front door, so had a sub-freezing draft blowing over the table whenever someone entered or exited. Not a bad experience overall but there are better choices to be found in Spokane.

    Awesome place with incredible food and fantastic staff. Really enjoyed our visit! Had 2 specialty drinks per person, dinner and dessert.

    This is a great place for Irish American themed dishes. I love the poutine and Irish nachos- but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The decor is filled with lots of local and Irish themed art, and is fun to look at. The building is gorgeous old Spokane architecture. Check it out!

    Fish n chip lunch was good. I prefer beer battered but the fish was good. Looked like a really fun place to hang out.
