O'donoghue's Pub - Brunswick

The inside was nice enough and a quaint little open mic but the food was awful. The two stars given are for the nice bartender who recognized how bad the food was (our wings came out with two still frozen) and took them off our tab. Maybe go here for a cheap drink but skip the food and eat somewhere else

Irish bars where the Guinness flows like milk and honey and the crash of broken glass hitting the floor gets a heeey with glasses raised the beautiful brogue compliments and politeness (es) male bartenders with a welcoming smile and in depth knowledge of the Irish golfers and soccer teams but that 's not here at all. I 'm hanging on to the hope that my 4 stars will not have to be updated as the scales of bar justice can only tip downward hence forth. Perhaps I have a false sense of self but I 'm a freakin great customer I spend hundreds of dollars a month on eating, drinking and making Merry at the midcoast Maine bars y 'all business owners better take notice of me and respect the badge, my writing power and my posse cause I 'll turn you out if I must. And when beady eyes behind the bar set upon me, they 're not saying welcome back valued customer they 're saying it 's him again the concentric circles, the common center must not be broken with new faces and new money Be the region between the two concentric circles I think it 's called annulus, be that, not an assulus. The folks at the bar are quite the opposite, they 're friendly and engaging one guy was dancing to live music, caulking around the AC while drinking drafts and discussing Him Morrison with me as I sat alone in a dark corner. This is what Irish bars are just gotta inform the barmaid only one, the other is quite nice and the big guy I 'm betting a s of Jamison that he 's the owner always running around the back, cooking up great meals try his Steak and Cheese, the twelve inch pizza which beady eye called fourteen duh is $9.00 and big guys got a heavy topping hand, smothering that pie with the pepperoni that does that high heat trigger shaped twist like a tulip pedal holding the little droplets of oil inside.

Love a good dive bar. They're honestly my favorite and I appreciate the fact that they're not perfect. My experience at O'Donoghue's last night (7/29) was impressively terrible and the complete disregard for customer satisfaction appears to be the standard.I'll keep this brief because this disgrace of a bar isn't worth my time. I came with two other family members and sat at the bar. The bar wasn't busy at all and we were deliberately ignored. We sat for 20 minutes while two bartenders acknowledged and served other patrons, but never acknowledged us once.My advice to anyone considering spending money at this bar, look elsewhere. My advice to this bar, close your doors and call it a wash.

I've been here a couple times. The place is very dirty and the bartenders will ignore you if you're not a regular.. I don't recommend this place at all

Came in here right around when they opened and have to say I was very, very impressed. The vibe was far better than the other bars in the past. Maybe because this is a pub so it had much more of a friendlier, eclectic feel. I think it was the owner at the bar helping out the bar tender since she was swamped with people. He came over and asked us if everything was OK and I thought that was very pleasant. So pleasant that our bar hopping just stayed there instead since I knew we wouldn’t get this service at any of the venues on Maine st. Great beer, great crew, great vibe. I’ll be back next time I’m home! Give this place a shot. If you’ve come here when it was the former dive bars by different owners then you’ll love the new vibe.
