Alas, since it was midday and I was driving, I had a Diet Coke rather than a draft. It's a cute pub and there were a few people scattered about. I was torn between the Homemade Butter Chicken or Scruffy's Meatlovers Pizza (bacon, hot Italian sausage, ground beef, cheddar, mozzarella and tomato sauce). My server suggested the pizza. I love love love pizza so pizza it was. It was okay. It was really chunky with meat and there was lots of cheese ... so no complaints about the amount of condiments. The crust wasn't so great, though. The texture reminded me of a frozen pizza. When I'm in that area again, I'll stop in for a beer a meal.

We didn't reserve in advance (which I now highly recommend). The wait was about an hour, but we passed the time at the nearby Churchill with a pre‑drink, and they texted us when our table was ready.

Service for both drinks and food was quick, and the cozy Irish pub atmosphere made it even better. Definitely try to reserve ahead on the website if you can. If not, just plan to relax at one of the nearby pubs until your table is ready.

I sat in the sunroof area but was still warm thankfully as its -8c outside! And elderly regular came in and chatted up the waitress who was very friendly. I ordered mild wings and a coffee. The music was low key and thankfully the volume was low. The pub was very clean with many big screen TVs. I think Id like to come back for dinner or a sporting night! The wings were big and I ordered breaded. Good choice! They were super delicious and meaty. I appreciated the three wet-naps! (even with the three wet naps, I managed to leave the place with sauce on my face lol) I chose a single order and I could have eaten a double order. I'll definitely be coming here for wings again. $5 off wings on Thursdays and Sundays all day!! Yay! The service was so pleasant which made for a great lunch experience. So happy with this place.

Sure, it was good... but Doc's knocked by socks off. I went here on a recommendation from the staff at a hotel that competes with the Best Western where Doc's is located, which is always a good sign for a hotel restaurant. Got the corned beef boxty, which is amazing. With the boxty fries, which were really good - much better than standard fries, in my opinion. And had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Heavenly. I actually went back two days later after dinner at another restaurant to have the sticky toffee pudding one more time. The atmosphere is very nice, like a pub should be, with good service from the bartender, music the second night I was there, and some good conversation with a fellow traveler from London (Ontario). The odds are high that I'll be back. If you're looking for somewhere to burn all the delicious calories, my suggestions are the Niagara River Recreation Trail (from Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake) and the Niagara Gorge Hiking Trails. Three and a half out of five for Doc's matches. They burn well, and are a cool souvenir, but it's difficult to strike them on the side of the box. Still useful to have around the house where I can strike them on the side of another box, but not ideal for a retro night out on the town.

Tasty Pub Fare, Great Vibes & Even Better Reuben Bites!…read more Doc Magilligan's is a cozy Irish pub with a solid menu, a great beer selection, and a lively atmosphere. We really enjoyed the live music--it definitely added to the vibe, though it did make chatting a bit tricky at times. That said, the sets were short and added a fun touch to the evening. We started with a few appetizers, and everything hit the spot--the cauliflower bites were tasty, the spinach dip was solid, but the star was definitely the Reuben Bites--absolutely delicious! For mains, my wife ordered the mac and cheese and loved the depth of flavour--you can really taste the leeks, which was a nice twist. I got the chicken parm mac and cheese and thought it was fantastic--the chicken was juicy, crispy, and perfectly done. The rest of our group was just as happy--my brother raved about the Chicken Pot Pie, and the Bangers and Mash were also a hit. Overall, a great Irish pub experience with comforting food, friendly vibes, and some standout dishes. Definitely worth a visit!

Believe it or not, I haven't had delicious nachos like this for a while. Definitely will be back if I'm in the area!

Though they're all over the city, I'm pretty sure this was my first experience with a Fionn…read moreMacCool's. (It's pronounced Finn, right?) Anyway, we showed up on a Thursday evening around 6:00 and the place was about half full, so we managed to snag a quality table right by the window. The primary purpose of the visit, from my perspective, was to drink some beer, but we were informed that all appetizers (except nachos! boooo!) were 50% off. A quick perusal of the menu led me to the Signature Blarney Chips ("Waffle-cut potatoes smothered in kick'd up ale cheese sauce, topped with diced tomatoes, green onions and Jalapeño peppers. Served with salsa and sour cream with chives for dipping.") Okay, first of all, the portion of this thing is *enormous*. This could easily feed four people, so it goes without saying that we wound up leaving about half the plate behind. It's okay. The waffle-cut potatoes are kind of tasteless and the ale cheese sauce is a little generic, while the rest of the toppings don't really make much of an impact. But when you're quaffing beer after beer, I'll admit that these things hit the spot and get the job done. But because we didn't realize how big a dish this was, my dining companion also ordered the Veggie Burger ("Made-in-Pub chickpea veggie patty, arugula, sliced hothouse tomatoes, roasted red peppers and creamy avocado ranch. Topped with a skewer of crispy golden brown onion rings and served with a dill pickle on the side.") It's a veggie burger. It didn't really seem better or worse than the majority of veggie burgers I've ever eaten (and I haven't eaten a ton), although it certainly pales in comparison to the one at Fresh. The mediocre food aside, Fionn MacCool definitely seems like a decent place to go grab a drink or two.
