The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, there's good music playing, the beer is nice and cold, and the service has been fun, friendly, and delightful. It's the kind of place where you can easily sit down for a drink and a few appetizers or stay for dinner and enjoy a burger or something more filling. Both times we've gone with friends, we've ordered appetizers, including the pretzel and wings, and everything has been really good. It's just an easygoing place to meet up, grab a drink, eat some good food, and hang out. I also really love the location. Dupont is such a cute little town, and it's especially pretty in the evening when everything is lit up. McNamara's fits right into that atmosphere and feels like a great place to stop in while you're out enjoying the area. It looks like a really nice little town to take a stroll through before or after dinner. Overall, we really enjoy coming here. It has that fun neighborhood Irish pub feeling, and it's definitely a place we'll keep coming back to when we're looking for somewhere to relax, eat, have a cold beer, and spend time with friends!

Delicious food. I ordered the flank steak salad though very tempted by several other items on the…read moremenu making my ultimate choice difficult. Clearly, I have to return to try everything else on the menu. The salad has fresh cut romaine lettuce. It is NOT a salad mix. Very flavorful, roasted corn, perfectly cooked flank steak, exactly the right amount of blue cheese crumbles so they didn't overtake the flavor of the salad. The roasted tomato vinaigrette has a smoky flavor to it that was delicious. The dressing was tossed with the salad, not in the side. Another great decision. You can tell they carefully put together their salads and it is a high quality meal. I got the large size, not the kite version and it was perfect. I ate all of it because it was so good. My servers were friendly and attentive. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Thank you!!

I feel that is hard to come by in small towns with outsiders, but we didn't have that issue at all. We did come during lunch time on a Saturday, so it wasn't super busy.

My first visit to this pub was fantastic. The food was great, the drinks were even better, and our…read moreserver was friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcome. The server, he was one of the reasons I was actually excited to come back. Unfortunately, my second visit was memorable for all the wrong reasons. Before we even sat down, we were greeted by the owner--or, more accurately, acknowledged as an inconvenience. The pub was nearly empty except for one gentleman at the bar, and she seemed far more interested in continuing that conversation than welcoming what appeared to be paying customers. It genuinely felt like interrupting someone's first date. When she finally came over, she somehow managed to be both smiling and incredibly hostile at the same time. It takes a special talent to make an entire group feel uncomfortable while wearing a grin, but she pulled it off flawlessly. The passive-aggressive Olympics would have awarded gold. I have no problem with owners having personality, but treating customers like they're a burden isn't a business model--it's a fast track to empty tables. Add in parking her Jeep in the closest customer spot right in front of the entrance, and it gave off the impression that customer convenience wasn't exactly high on the priority list. If the goal is to use the bar as a personal dating lounge, that's completely fine--but maybe rename it something like F-boy Island, Love Is Blind: Happy Hour Edition, or The Bachelorette Tavern. At least then customers would know what experience they're signing up for. To be fair, the place itself is adorable. It's cozy, unique, and obviously decorated with a lot of love. Between the Christmas lights, faux clouds, flowers, and whimsical touches, it feels less like an Irish pub and more like someone combined Pinterest with a Hallmark movie. Honestly, I'd hire her to decorate a little girl's bedroom in a heartbeat. After reading other reviews, I was disappointed--but not surprised--to see that this doesn't appear to be an isolated experience. It's unfortunate because the food, drinks, and atmosphere have so much potential. A welcoming attitude from the owner would had made all the difference. I'd happily return for the food and the server from my first visit. Returning for the hospitality? That's a much harder sell.

Seriously. The salads? Perfect. There's just something about apples and goat cheese that gets me every time. Fresh, balanced, and so good. The burgers are solid too. Nice crust, juicy patty, and consistently done right. And the French onion dip... I'd drink it if I could. No shame. Overall, it's always a great vibe and a reliable spot for good food, good drinks, and a good time.

My companion had the chicken bahn mi sandwich and thought it was delicious, even though she did remove most of the generous amount of jalapeño slices. They have a decent kids meal menu.

I'm 18, so I obviously cannot drink alcohol. I ordered food and waited for service, but apparently the only way to actually get someone's attention is to walk over to the bar yourself. When I went over there trying to get help with my order, I was yelled at and made into a scene by one of the servers. All I wanted was the food I had already ordered. I understand that working in food service can be exhausting. I'm 18 and have worked as a server myself. I know there are bad days, difficult customers, and times when you simply don't feel like smiling. But when you're working with the public, basic courtesy and professionalism still matter. You don't have to love your job every second, but you should at least treat people with respect. What makes this especially frustrating is that this is a small town that gets a huge amount of tourism from people visiting Mount Rainier. This restaurant has an opportunity to leave visitors with a great impression of the area, and instead the experience I had was rude, disorganized, and unnecessarily hostile. I really hope management sees this review and takes it seriously. The food needs improvement, but the service needs even more attention. Train your staff, communicate with customers, and treat people like human beings. That shouldn't be too much to ask.
