    How's This For A Guinness Tap?
    Mike G.

    I contacted local adult beverage guru, Allison F. to get her advice on a good Irish pub in the area. She recommended one of her nearby watering holes called Dunleavy's. Now, it's not so much a pub as it is more of a friendly neighborhood bar with some Irish trappings. The folks there are warm and welcoming in any case, so it fit the bill just fine. The afternoon bartender lady was super friendly. She offered me a food menu and it seemed to have a good variety of bar type foods at reasonable prices. I wasn't really hungry so I passed on the eats but I did go for a couple Irish brews. I enjoyed one each, Smithwick's and Guiness. Both were smaller sized pours but they were reasonably priced at $5 each. Two beers, ten dollars? Sounds good to me. If I lived in the area, I'd go there from time to time. 5 Stars

    Been coming here for years for beers. Thought I'd stop in for lunch on a Saturday for a 1/2 pound ground round, ordered medium well. It took longer than expected even though they weren't busy. Came pretty pink in the middle for medium well, arguably the 1/3 patty and not the 1/2, and wasn't warm enough to melt the cheese. I'll be back for the beer, but won't be eating there again soon.

    Ruben sandwich and chips
    Taylor S.

    Came here for a cold beer and burger after work and at 25% capacity you wouldn't think it would take over an hour for a burger and a Ruben sandwich. By the time my food got to me (which I asked about at least 3 times) it was cold, dry and super salty. Beer was cold and good but my beer has been empty since after my first 25 minutes here. Been here 2 hours now and still no fresh beer. Server was nice but not very tentative. Bottom line, I'm gonna end up getting this burger to go and giving it to my dog or something. Very disappointed which sucks because the person we came here with loves this place and swore it was amazing. My first impression was definitely under par and sad to say I won't be back.

    Awesome 1/2 lb burgers. Nice selection of beers, genuine Irish atmosphere. Great, friendly service. My kind of place.

    Fish fry menu...

    Great Burgers and great fish and chips... $8.75 for a hearty platter of fish and chips. Hand trimmed and dipped in beer batter Try the perch "dry" instead of bear batter... More of a thin cornmeal coating than a heavy beer batter which is always too heavy for a delicate fish like perch... One of the best bar burgers around and plenty of choices to pick from The Dunleavys have been in the bar business forever and understand what an Irish pub should be like.. Lots of regulars but all are welcome! It's Family owned for a long time so prices are cheap as they probably have no mortgage or rent like most bars do...

The ambience is very cool, there was a couple of older gentlemen cracking jokes that just had me laughing my ass off. We ordered drinks first and FINALLY Yuengling is out in Michigan. We ordered an appetizer first which was Mac & Cheese bites, they were just okay, the deep fried part was really good but the Mac and cheese on the inside didn't really have any flavoring, a little disappointed. Then for the main course I had a Cajun Burger (rare) with Cajun Fries. When the burger got to my table it was MASSIVE, I wasn't expecting such a huge burger, the meat was tender, juicy and full of flavor,everything a rare burger should be, it was really delicious, these cooks know how to make a great burger. So then I finish my drink and I look back at the bar at the tap list and low and behold they had CBS, it is very difficult to find a bar that has CBS on draft and I was shocked, I had to get it. This is the HOLY GRAIL of craft beers. The experience here was really good everything was phenomenal from the waitresses to the burger with the exception of the Mac n Cheese bites. I wouldn't order those again. I have always seen this place and have been wanting to try it, its always packed on the weekends.
