Cristo
Ryan O.

Our party has never been here before, and we showed up and we were greeted with friendly faces. Breakfast menu was outstanding and all three people in our group or the Cristo. When it came out, they all looked magnificent and there is a blueberry habanero sauce jam that goes on top and it was not super spicy, but had great flavor. I would easily recommend again and again just based off their menu for breakfast.

Tot-Chos with potato wedges and seasonal crisp
Sean H.

Stopped by here for a quick dessert but I couldn't resist ordering the totchos. I subbed it with potato wedges instead and it tasted absolutely amazing. The dessert we ordered was a bit too sweet but the ice cream actually helped balance it out. The ambiance is nice. Chill and warm. Parking was plentiful. Service was exceptional. Staff was very friendly and checked on us often as well as offering us recommendations. They did forget about us when we asked for the check but immediately apologized and remembered as I approached the bar.

Doyle's is always a good time. Great neighborhood bar. They always have fast service and clean beer lines. Can't wait to make it back!

Cocktail menu
Molly B.

Doyle's is my new favorite spot! First of all, the service truly stands out to me. Every server and bartender is SO kind. They are also super dog friendly. They even gave our doggies water. The drinks are fantastic! I wouldn't expect a pub like this to have such amazing cocktails. They rotate the menu frequently and I haven't had a cocktail I didn't like! I can't wait to come back to try more food items.

Christa H.

Good times and service cheers Open early and has side parking and patio on a nice day

This place has the best French toast I've ever had. I've tried French toast at many other restaurants, but this one is by far my favorite. It's perfectly cooked, fluffy on the inside, and full of flavor. The cocktails and beer are also excellent and pair well with the food. Great food, great drinks, and a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this place!

Fetching, isn't it?
Teresa M.

One of the nifty things about Doyle's is that they are open 365. Yes, this includes Christmas. There are very few places that are open so it's nice knowing there's a place to go if you just want to hang out. Food, for the most part, has been quite consistent. It comes out hot and it's pretty good. Nothing to write home about, but it's perfectly fine pub food. There are a small handful of vegetarian items, which is more than I'd expect from an Irish pub. The omelet that I had most recently had way, way too much butter for my taste, but that's what happens at restaurants. Service is really hit or miss depending on who's working. I've only been here a handful of times thus far, but I'm starting to recognize the good employees and the bad/slow ones. I like several of their hot drinks, but if I see one person in particular I know it's going to be luke warm by the time I get it so I don't order those when she's bartending. Overall it's a simple concept: you order at the counter when you're ready and then they'll bring things out to you. Including drink refills, just flag someone down when they walk past and it's good. Things can get quite loud when there's a game going, so keep that in mind if you're trying to chat with your table. Overall though Doyle's has a great vibe and I can enjoy my time here.

Bourbon meatloaf
Paul R.

I Always enjoy Doyle's. The staff has always been friendly, it's a honey hole for specialty bottles of your favorite bourbon, whiskey, etc. The food is absolutely delicious 8 times out of ten. For the money I don't think anywhere downtown surpasses it. I highly recommend giving it a try. Their Scottish eggs, juicy good bits, and soups are my favorite.

Marbled Rye Toast (Dry)
Sara S.

I came here for our brunch club with some friends. It was a pretty good breakfast and the staff was very friendly and helpful, they even leaned over the bar to take our order at a table and didn't make us walk up to the order-taking spot. We came during a match, so it was VERY loud. I'm not faulting the restaurant for it; it's obviously characteristic of a pub. It was our fault for choosing this spot for a women's brunch outing. But we hung in there! I asked the server if they had anything vegan, and he said no, nothing as is. So I ordered the veggie scramble without eggs or cheese and a side of dry rye. It was pretty tasty. My friends also enjoyed their meals (Doyle's scramble and sausage biscuit buddies).

Garbage.

Ruining the parking in the neighborhood for what looks like it will be a month and a half for a sports party. I am sure you are making mad stacks. Good for you, that makes me happy. I will think about your fat stacks and how happy they make you as I sit in my car with my eight year old for 45 min circling a multi block radius looking for parking every single day after work for a MONTH AND A HALF. The crowning achievement is they are throwing this party in their... f'ing parking lot. I will never speak positively of this place again.

Map from bar crawl showing their are a witting participant in the scam
Bob P.

This bar is a willing participant in a scam perpetuated by eventbrite and bar crawl.com. They allowed scammers to use their venue to check in for a fake "bar crawl". They will allow these scammers to use their building to steal from you. Avoid avoid avoid. They did not honor the drink tickets from the scam. When we asked the bartender about the bar crawl, he was rude, snarky, dismissive - should have been a red flag that they were enabling stealing and scams.

Do you guys play the champions league?

Yes, is there a particular match you are looking for?

Do they have live music every Friday night?

We do live music on Saturday Nights starting at 9pm! Music is not always guaranteed, so calling ahead or checking on Facebook Events is a good way to find out what band will be performing!

Is there a Celtic Fiddling Night? Where folks drop in, grab a bite and a drink and jam on their Celtic instruments together? We have this where I live and I'm headed up there and hope to fiddle in a local pub.

Amy, thank you for your query. We do not host a craic jam session. Please do stop in and say hello on your travels though. Be well, drink good whisky and keep in touch

Do they do a trivia night?

We offer a trivia night every Thursday hosted by Geeks Who Drink which starts at 8pm. The game is free to play and there are plenty of prizes. Hope you will join us and thank you for your query.

Contact the owner, Russ Heaton, and he will take care of it. Post a review on Yelp, positive or negative, and he will respond. Never had a problem there, doesn't mean it can't happen though.

What a great find! We live in CA but visit relatives frequently. I'm not sure how we've never…read morecome across this place before! Parkway Tavern checks all the boxes -- great beer selection, delicious food, good music, and a really cool neighborhood atmosphere. It's tucked right into the middle of a residential neighborhood and feels like a true local spot. The French dip was excellent. The roast beef was perfectly grilled, flavorful and tender, and the sandwich was really well done. Bonus - the bathrooms were super clean! Great food, great beer, ambiance, location and music. Definitely worth going a few miles out of your way!

They have all the Pappy van Winkles as well as most of the Buffalo Trace Antique collection. They only do 2 oz pours (no half pours) but the prices are still more affordable than any other place you'd find on the West Coast. Some downsides is that they don't have glencairn glasses and the place has your typical tavern smells, so you won't get the full isolated whiskey tasting experience. This place is after all a tavern, so most of the focus is on beers and a communal experience. If you're looking to try something rare without wanting to buy the whole bottle though, I think coming here for whiskey is still pretty good.

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.

I went here with my coworkers for a team happy hour and it was great!…read more It's a HUGE pup with tons of indoor seating and also a screened in patio. The ambiance is definitely that of a pub, which was great! It was comfortable and cozy but also open and airy. The service was good; it took a bit for someone to come initially serve us, but once we were addressed, the service was quick! To drink, I had the Ayinger Oktoberfest first and followed it up with a Seattle Soda root beer. The Ayinger Oktoberfest was light and flavorful. I found the 0.3 size appropriate for me, but they also had the half pint and a stein which was HUGE. The root beer was sweet and cold and I was given a large amount of it. To eat, we shared some appetizers. My favorite was the kettle chip nachos. I've never had anything like it! It's a bed of kettle chips topped with bacon, cheese, and green onions. It was crispy, crunchy, and delicious; and perfect for sharing! I like how it was served on a baking tray. My second favorite was the French fries; it's a generous portion and they are so flavorful and fried to perfection. The only comment I have is that the curry ketchup served on the side wasn't for me. The last appetizer we got was the pretzel; it's BIG! I liked the sauces that it came with. Beautifully soft with a nice crust and pillowy inside. We enjoyed the trivia night that was hosted! It was so fun and well organized.

Unfortunately, over time, it feels like they've completely lost their luster and prioritised quick turnover and business over customer experience and basic hospitality. The service on my last visit was essentially nonexistent. We sat down and weren't even greeted by a server for 20 full minutes. When someone finally came over, they literally just dropped water on the table and walked away--no greeting, no "I'll be right with you," and didn't even take a drink or food order. To make matters worse, the seating policy management is bizarre. I get that it's a beer hall with communal seating, but sending a random stranger to sit at our table because the bartender told him he "couldn't order food at the bar and had to sit at a table" created a super uncomfortable situation for everyone involved. It's really disappointing to see a place I used to root for degrade to this level of slow service and poor crowd management. Hopefully, management takes a step back and focuses on quality service again, but for now, I won't be in a rush to come back.
