O'Donoghues Pub

Such a lovely venue with a great vibe. I love that they have an area that you can bring your dog if you choose. Menu was great with fantastic pricing. The service staff were fantastic in every way! We loved having the undercover kids area so that we could peacefully eat while the kids played. We will definitely be back!

I discovered ODonoghues last night quite by accident after suffering a small medical episode nearby and was completely disorientated, the staff fella Chris found me and kindly led me to safety and helped me get it together enough to get an uber to safety. So big ❤️ and shout out to going above and beyond the call of duty to take car of a welfare of fellow citizen and I'll be sure to attend the restaurant in future to try out their meals and give thanks to all the staff there. It seems extremely popular and well run establishment from the outside although I might have a word with council to place a row of badly needed seats outside and filtered fountain water bubbler for those waiting for taxis and uber's as sure it would be appreciated there. All the best come check out this hidden gem at foothills of our blue mountain range.

Honestly when I first walked in I felt pretty impressed the atmosphere was amazing felt very welcoming I loved all the plants everywhere, very warm as well. unfortunately I had to take off 2 stars from a 5 star review it's upseting but here's why, we came in at open time 10am and we didn't see anything on the website about the kitchen not opening until 11:30am so we had to wait 1 hour and a half but we ordered 2 jugs of soft drinks before we found out that food was available until 11:30am so we couldn't just leave after getting those so we waited and after so much waiting around for some strange reason it started to feel very cold, the restaurant had about 4 fans running on a 17° day so it was so cold!. so anyway food time came we were at a table with no cuttery set up because we were at the table since 10am, there was no cuttery on our table ready for us for our food I kindly asked the female server mid age short grey hair with glasses for some cuttery and she was very rude she just said " it's behind you" and walked off I never saw her again after that and no there wasn't any behind us we had to take Cuttery off another table which felt rude but I didn't have a choice. The steak I ordered never had an option for sauce for the first time ever I had a steak with no sauce and this steak was tiny. Also the steak was a tiny bit chewy. Luckily only $17 but still pretty small. The food was ok, chips tasted strange to me. The bacon and cheese garlic bread with probably the best, little bit salty but still pretty decent. Honestly if there wasn't any pub deals going on everything is way over price. So my experience with the lady server just not getting the cuttery and walking off and fans being turned on for a 17 degree day my experience today was just OK. I was happy at first but at the end felt very cold and the server should have done her job and got us some cuttery! Very rude of her. Sadly not going to be returning here I have had better food elsewhere and service.

Good Pub – BUT Exercise Care with Happy Hour Happy hour is 4 PM to 6 PM on week days. ALL tap beers are $5.50 and ALL wines $5.50 as per their advertising and printed on all the menus. But this is NOT so and I have been caught a couple of times before I learnt. Late Feb 26 ordered an Asahi beer under the $5.50 banner BUT it seems this particular beer was full freight. I spoke with the bar attendant – no value here but she did send over a supervisor. When I confirmed with her that my Asahi was a beer from a tap at the bar but I paid full freight she acknowledged that the advertising etc saying ALL tap beers were $5.50 was indeed misleading and incorrect. Had dinner at the pub yesterday – but this time I asked the bar attendant if the GOAT XPA (a new tap) was covered under the ALL beer at $5.50, he checked and said no. I again confirmed with him that this was a beer from a bar tap and should be $5.50. I got a shrug of the shoulders. As to the wine being ALL wine for $5.50. NOT so – it all depends on which size you ask for. Small glasses are $5.50 but a large is full freight. I am not overly concerned about the cost here just the misleading advertising that says ALL tap beer and ALL wine. If the advertising said SOME tap beers and SMALL glasses of wines are $5.50 then all good. Otherwise not a bad pub for its happy hour with well-priced pub style meals. I will return (it’s a regular place out) but I will now have to ask each time at the bar which beers may or may not be covered under the ALL tap beer banner.

Honestly best pub I’ve frequented in my recent years. Sad to see it go as I will not be staying in the area any longer. I will miss it but I’ll miss that aioli on the side with my southern fried chicken burger even more (the BEST southern fried chicken burger I’ve EVER had and BRING IT BACK!!!). Affordable and QUALITY food, great beers, great music, great time. I’ll miss you so much Odonnys. Best burgers and some good memories. Till we meet again. I’d do anything to bring in some table bar codes to order and replace that tomato sauce with aioli. Thank you for all the memories I love you
