We ate ate Doherty's for lunch at around 2:00pm. It was quite full for a late Friday but we were seated. I had the NFL city special Cleveland which consisted of perogies and kielbasa it was very good. The perogies were fresh and the kielbasa was thin slices and grilled. The red cabbage was fantastic complementing the taste of the potato filled perogies and the kielbasa. But, be quick it is on the menu for the next three weeks only. My wife had the salmon well done. It was very delicious nesting on a potato croquet. She used some of my sour cream and red cabbage to really complement the meal. For an Irish pub it is not to loud on a Friday afternoon. I have been to Doherty's when it is filled and loud. Plenty of televisions screens to watch any sporting event. We try to dine here at least once a month. read more

Stopped in here for New Years Day lunch. Yall ....omg....they do the lord's work here....THE LORD'S WORK! I sat at the bar and Kai, the bar tender on duty helped me right away. He was very helpful and so friendly. Btw, did I mention, this was my first but definitely not my last time here? I started out with a tasty hazy IPA, served cold and frothy as ya do...then I got their Whiskey burger, medium well with sweet tater fries and a big ole pickle. SOOO GOOD yall! Finished it with a Highland Galelic Ale. Even though I live in a town about 15-20 min away, I think I've honestly found my new neighborhood bar. Douherty's yall keep doing your thing. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Came in around 9:15pm Monday night traveling for work. Asked if the kitchen was open which apparently was until 10. The upstairs looked fun from the street so I went around the traffic circle and came back. They said upstairs closed at 9:30 but it was pretty slow inside so maybe that was why. The bangers and mash was absolute fire. Cool place. read more

Since they came to town Doherty's has been our go to favorite place! The food is excellent and comforting and always hits the spot. We love the shrimp puppies & pretzel bites appetizers, fish & chips is a must have, while I love the salmon dinner or the beef stew! My husband enjoys the burgers and fries. Great atmosphere & service is always friendly. It has been a great addition to Pittsboro. read more

The staff are great people. The kitchen turns out food quickly and the quality is consistently great. It's a fun neighborhood bar atmosphere. One of my favorites on the menu is the Irish egg rolls -- but I get them with spicy mustard instead of 1000 island dressing! read more

Fish and chips are my favorite. Absolutely delicious! Staff members are amazing, professional and knowledgeable. read more

Food is excellent!! Waitstaff 5+ We have been twice. It's our new favorite place. Ambiance fits perfectly. So glad you are in town. See you soon. read more

Delicious food and outstanding service! We loved the whole experience of dinner at Doherty's! Thank you!

I really liked this restaurant. They were very busy so when larger parties left, service became quicker. Everything on their menu looked great and the prices were phenomenal. I got the fish and chipwich. My partner got the tacos. No crumbs left you guys. The egg rolls were hot and delicious. I'm a super fan of the location too. It definitely looked like an Irish pub. read more

Had an opportunity to dine-in, so I wanted to add to my previous review. The food was good, but the burger we ordered the first star was definitely the star of the show. Upon entering around 4:30pm on a Friday, we were asked if we had a reservation (not, "Hello, welcome in. Have you dined with us before?"). We stated that we didn't have a reservation, they informed us that they could seat us. However, they made a point to ask if we would be done by 6:00, as they had a reservation for that table at that time. We assured them that we would be done in plenty of time for the reservation, assuming our food arrived in a timely manner. After being seated, we felt somewhat rushed to place our order, but tried to be understanding. Our server was fine, not at all rude but also not especially friendly. Our food arrived quickly, and everything tasted good. Upon exiting, not a single staff member thanked us, asked how our meal or experience was, or even acknowledged us at all....even though there were 3 at the host stand directly by the door. read more

Just opened right after St. Patty's Day. What a hit here in Pittsboro. Great addition to the many eateries we have in this small town. Excellent service from the moment you walk in to ordering your food. Two level restaurant, outdoor seating, belly- up bar, and dining area lower level. Upper level , outdoor rooftop seating, inside dining area, and also another bar. The stairway going up and down has a very sturdy handrail. Just in case you have a few too many on the roof top. My meal was delicious, both my wife and I had the Braised Brisket Melt Sandwich. Can't say enough on how good it was. Perfect to my liking and hers. If you are in Pittsboro, I would recommend this restaurant as a place to go. read more

The fish and chips were on point, as well as the hush puppy shrimp appetizer! Despite being a little busy we had no issues with service and the pub was decked out in World Cup decor which was awesome read more

The food and customer service here is absolutely top notch. The Apex location has been our favorite place to eat for years. We were thrilled to hear they were opening a location in our town. BUT, the accessibility for someone in a wheelchair is abysmal. When you do find the ramp in the side alley, the ramp is narrow, tight turns, no door opener to hold the door, then the inside is so tight people who are trying to enjoy their meal will have to stand up and move to let you get to your table. We drive by it and go to the Apex location just because of the massive pain it is to get in. read more

Very friendly service at the dark wood upstairs bar and very good food. The Dublin Spice Bag is definitely worth a try while it's available. The mix of fries, habanero marinated chicken with curry and sweet thai chili sauce is more spicy sweet than hot, but that was easy to fix with some sriracha. read more

It's a great place to eat. I had fish and chips twice it's been good both times. I would recommend you give it a try

Food was great. I had the French onion soup and the goat cheese salad. Unfortunately, the service was lacking. Staff are not friendly or helpful. We waited a while for our food, and it was all brought out basically at the same time even though we ordered appetizers and salads to come before the entree. We were never asked if we needed refills on our drinks or if we needed anything. Love trying a new place, but really would like to see better service!!! read more

The ambiance of this location was very good, and had a cozy, laid back feel. The servers, and manager on duty were nice, and efficient. My fiancee ordered corned beef hash, and I had a whiskey onion burger with fries and a cup of potato and leek soup. The soup needed doctoring up, and was a bit thin but the flavor was decent, my fries were good and so was the burger. My fiancee had to doctor up the corned beef hash with Texas Pete, and the end result enjoyable but not memorable. I did ultimately enjoy the visit, and I think we will return to try other dishes. read more

First time there and have to be kind as they just opened a few weeks back. Excited to see more restaurants opening in and around Pittsboro. Especially an Irish Pub! Upon entering I learned you have to have reservations. That won't fly with us if it lasts. Especially a Tuesday evening. May be just now with lots of folks wanting to try it. Had to eat at the bar which I don't mind so much except the bar molding is maybe 8" thick and you can't eat anywhere near over your plate. Next the food was tasty. I got the Shepherds Pie and the wife got the fish tacos. My wife's comment was that she had more pico de gallo than fish. My Shepherds Pie had more mashed potatoes than meat/veggies. The takeaway is tasty but "where's the meat?" Service was good. We'll give it another try once the excitement dies down, but if the reservations stay we will likely not bother. read more

Everything was excellent! First visit today ...St.Patricks day! I had corn beef and cabbage. Potatoes and carrots, my husband had fish and chips. We loved everything! Special menus today . Service was perfect as was the atmosphere. We will definitely be returning! read more

This was the best food we have eaten in Pittsboro so far! I was shocked it wasn't as busy as we expected for a Friday night, but we enjoyed how low key it was since we had the kids in tow. Speaking of my kids: they said this was the best meal we have had in North Carolina since moving here! We started with the spinach and artichoke dip, and it was great. My son and I split the fish and chips, and let me tell you... that fish was light and flaky and literally melted in our mouths. My daughter had the kids cheeseburger and my husband had a featured dish that we can't remember what it was called, but it was fried chicken strips over some fries with a really good sauce over it. We finished off with the chocolate mousse and bread pudding. My kids are already asking when we can come back! Our server was so friendly and sweet, and she even gave us one of the desserts on the house! Come support this little gem of a place! read more

Food delicious! Service is good and the ambiance is perfect. Don't forget to try the delicious ice cream across the street at Circle Ice Cream. read more

We're so glad to get a Doherty's pub and restaurant in Pittsboro. We had been driving to the Cary one for years, and now we have one right here. Sometimes we sit in a booth, but we mostly like to sit at the bar. The bartenders are friendly and experienced. The food at Doherty's is great. We like the Thursday night prime rib, the fish and chips, the Reuben and the Rachel, the meatloaf, the shepherd's pie, and much more. The ambiance/vibe and decor are just right. They have upstairs seating plus outside seating. Lots of choices. So glad they came to Pittsboro. read more

Listen buddy - if you have to sit in a cold empty 6 top booth with no menus, salt & pepper, flatware - plus a full 48 minutes to be acknowledged by a server, then stand in line pally! They sent a 17 year old hostess who declared we were her FIRST experience. The only thing this young lady brought was 3 waters & some menus handouts. She was underage to handle or serve alcohol. We drive from Pinehurst to Pittsboro, 55 minutes, for purely the worst service I and 3 guests have ever "not received". The lunch hour had completely peaked & table checks issued. Our sever finally got over to GREET US with half a grin. Everything arrived at the exact same moment. French Onion soup, over greasy soggy burnt sandwiches, ice cold Onion Rings and a limp salad weak on dressing. Only reasonable item was the bubbles on the Guinness Stout were still dropping towards the bottom of the pint glass. The decor at Doherty's is pure "Old Dublin Town". Totally Irish Pub mind set. That's the only reason they even deserve a single Star! read more

We love a good Irish pub and Doherty's did not disappoint. The food was amazing, the Guinness was perfection, and the atmosphere was authentic and cozy. Our waitress, Anneliese, was top notch! Hi Anneliese!!! This may be our new hang out on the weekly as I need to try everything on their menu :) read more

Excellent! I took my family from out of town there. The fish and chips were crispy, fresh and well prepared and presented. The brisket melt was equally amazing and the pub burger was the best burger I have had in a long time. Hats off to the chef!! We will definitely be back. Thank you! read more

great ambience- it's extremely busy on a saturday night so you'll need a reservation if you're dining in. there is a nice fire out front and a rooftop bar-- something pittsboro hasn't had before!!! for that reason alone it's worth a visit. there is one vegan option listed on the menu, which i didn't get to try but i'll be back to try it. i had a guinness and the rest of my party just drank as well. good service, very home-y and an exciting addition to downtown pittsboro for sure. read more

Makala and Nate were an awesome duo taking care of us. It was our first time at Doherty s and they made us feel welcomed and cared for. We ordered the Shepherds Pie that was loaded with a lot of meat and vegetables in a savory gravy. The pearl onions were a nice touch and great complement. it was served with HP sauce which we've never had before. Very unique flavor that complemented the dish well. I had the cider glazed salmon which was cooked to perfection. I ordered it medium and was thrilled with the temperature and texture. The flavor was extremely mild and a little salt and pepper helped some. I wish that there was more flavor but I'm not sure what was missing to be honest. I didn't really care for the flavor of the potato cake either. I didn't taste any cheddar cheese. I felt it could use an herb that would have complemented the salmon, maybe a bit of chives or dill or both. The spinach though was on point. Flavor carried the salmon and paired nicely with it. Makala recommended several dishes were quite popular and I think it's worth another try. So I would like to try again with maybe the fish and chips or brisket. Watching the food deliveries to other tables, the brisket poutine did seem to be popular. I understand the place just opened the weekend after St Patty's day so I imagine they are still working out some recipes and processes. Give some grace and keep trying. The service was definite star of the show though. Keep up the warm smiles and caring attitude! Outdoor seating looked fun but saw rain moving in so we didn't want to risk it. Maybe on our second visit! Well done. read more

I took my 2 sisters and brother-in -law last week for lunch. The service was good but the food tasted odd (too sweet) and was exceptionally greasy. There was almost no meat on the $16 Rueben and the fried Brussels sprouts were burned and inedible. read more

Great friendly service. I love the fish and chips. Very popular restaurant in downtown Pittsboro. Outdoor dining available. Beer on t

Good beer, good service, decent pub food I stopped in for the first time last week to have lunch with a buddy. The atmosphere is typical American-style Irish pub: lots of dark wood paneling. The beer selection is good; you can get a proper Guinness, and they even have Harp's on tap if you fancy a black-and-tan, as I did. The menu is also good solid pub grub: lots of sandwiches, burgers, and sides. My buddy had a shepherd's pie which was made with beef, not lamb, but he said was tasty. You should probably leave your veggie friends at home as there's very little for them on the menu. The service was top-notch. Even though it was lunch-rush busy, our server (Kitty?) was friendly and efficient. I'll probably go back for a beer and an appetizer. read more

Some of the best fish and chips we've ever had. Shepherds pie is really good too. Service was good too.

Everything! From friendly wait staff , delicious food and great drinks! Go there as often as I Can.

The Sheppard's Pie was delicious. I highly recommend anyone looking for great food to give them a try. You will not be disappointed, and they are actually pretty cheap, and better than any high-end restaurant I've been to. read more

It's ALL good! Good beer, best fish and chips. Highly recommended Sitting on the upstairs balcony is great.

The smash burger with the bacon tomato jam is absolutely delicious. What a great addition to a burger. The tomato bacon jam needs to be on your menu even when you no longer offer the smash burgers. Great food! read more

This is a Pub, so it's not gourmet, however, the food is good, the beers are plentiful and varied, service is friendly and courteous. I've been there twice. On the second visit it was in the evening with family and friends. We ordered a variety of dishes from the menu. Every one was pleased with the flavor, service, and vibe. Reservations are recommended as the word is out on this delightful neighborhood Pub. read more

I took my coworkers out to eat for lunch today and I ordered a Turkey Ruben and French onion soup. Half way through my sandwich I bit into something that taste like gravel. When I bit into it the guy next to me could hear it. At first I thought I had broken my tooth. I told the waitress and I was offered another sandwich. That ruined my appetite and I told her I didn't want another sandwich. I didn't want to ruin the meal for everyone so I didn't say anything. I really think that I should have been comped my meal. Who eats dirt in a sandwich and is offered another sandwich especially after nearly breaking a tooth. read more
