Pricing is good for the area. The only downside (and it didn't directly apply to us) was watching one of the waitresses spend 15-20 minutes at a time standing at the table next to us chatting with her boyfriend while her coworkers were running around, trying to make sure all the tables were taken care of. The other servers in our area were doing their best but were obviously struggling to help everyone and this girl just stood around chatting without a care in the world. I'd visit again but if I got the lazy waitress I'd walk out

Luckily, when the food arrived I was in the bathroom and my friends were suspicious and taste tested the sauce for me. When I arrived back at the table and everyone had their order, our (already rude) server offered no apology and was quick to blame the trainee employee in the kitchen!! Negligent and unprofessional, which is a shame as this place was one of my favorites in Barrie.

They play extreme sports clips and sporting games. At first the projector screen was closed, there were about four tables taken. When it became about six tables, they turned it on. Service was friendly, albeit slow. You do have to wave them down and keep a keen lookout for your server after they drop off your order. Our server didn't come by after the first drop off. It wasn't busy either, about four tables were taken. Wings with sauce on it are crispy and saucy at the same time, which is great. Good sized wings. Nachos were a show stopper. It's huge! They put a lot of salsa and sour cream on top of the nachos itself. Nicely baked nachos that can easily feed four people. Added the chicken on top and it was really small diced up chicken. Overall, a great ambiance, great tv and great food. The service can use some fine tuning.

And then, the food... oh man... it was great. First, the Donaleigh's Signature Burger, that burger was massive, juicy, and packed with flavor. It had a combination of the beef patty, crispy bacon, white cheddar, BBQ sauce, and onion crisps on a toasted sesame brioche bun. It was absolute magic. As for the sides (which you can pick either salad, fries, or soup of the day). I had fries, it was good, nothing special. Then, do not even get me started on the Chicken Club. My partner got it but I had a bite, it was like a party in my mouth. The Naan bread was soft and warm, and the filling was amazing: chicken, bacon, boiled egg, basil aioli... it was all so good. For his side dish, he got garden salad, which tasted fresh ( I got a bite of that too lol). I shared my fries ;-) Moving on, the service was great. Our server was super friendly and attentive, checking in on us regularly to make sure everything was okay. And the best part? Parking was a breeze! In Downtown Barrie. Free parking after 5pm (we parked at 9 Simcoe Street), just a 3-minute walk from the pub. Donaleigh's Irish Public House is killing it with their live events! They have got Genevieve Cyr and Nate Douglas performing soon, and The Rob Watts Band is taking the stage too. But honestly comedy shows are a must. We need more,especially since there is no YUK YUK comedy in Barrie. Hopefully, they will keep bringing in more comedians to make it a regular thing.

What a fun country bar!!!…read more My friends & I arrived at 8:00 p.m. for the line dancing lessons on a Saturday evening. The security at the front door kept looking at my ID then me. He eventually handed it back to me and said that they put the wrong age on my ID. How flattering! LOL! I was told that the cover is $5 which I didn't believe because almost nothing cost that little anymore so I made sure I had more cash on hand. It's true!!! Another amazing thing they do here is for any designated drivers, they don't charge you for the sodas, OJ and cranberry juice. The lessons started out at intermediate level & even the line dances after the lessons I've never seen or done before so to resolve that issue, I just started requesting the ones I know and DJ Mike happily put those ones on for me. They usually switch over to a regular club night around 11:00 p.m. however this night, he played country songs until 11:30-11:45 p.m. as he said there were a lot of line dancers tonight. Everyone I spoke to there (bartenders, DJs, etc.) was friendly & I really enjoyed my time there. When we left around 12:30 a.m., there was still a huge line outside although the place was already pretty busy inside. NOTE: They only accept cash (cover & bar) so make sure you come prepared.

My parents were visiting some friends around downtown Barrie, and saw the sign they have out front for the rib special,(1/2 rack, coleslaw and fries for $5.99) so they decided to stop in for dinner tonight. After waiting 10 minutes, the waitress showed up to take their drink orders, they ordered a few beers. After she delivered the beers they placed 2 orders for the rib special that was on the sign outside, the waitress told them, that it was for Monday only. My parents told her, that nowhere on the sign did it say Monday only, and since it was their first time there, they had no idea what the daily specials were . The waitress said that she would go and check to see if they could get the rib deals. After about 15 minutes, a man approached their table and said 'can I help you'? My mom answered 'I'm not sure, are you the chef'? The guy answered no, so my mom asked him if he was the manager, and he said yes, never giving his name at all. They tried to explain that they saw the advertising for the rib special, and decided to try some place new, and nowhere did it say Monday's only, and it was false advertising if that was the case. The manager took the beer's that was sitting on the their table, (unfinished) and said GET OUT. My mom said 'excuse me?" and the manager repeated GET OUT. She told him that they have never been kicked out of a restaurant ever, and that she is a Chef with the CCFCC. He said, 'well isn't that good for you'. My parents got up from their table and left the establishment. She phoned me after it had happened to tell me this crazy story of my parents being kicked out of a sports bar. I have never heard of such a thing, most managers are willing to work with the customers to make sure the customer is happy, never once did he say that he was sorry, or try and offer them another option. I am highly disappointed and shocked that this is the business attitude of an establishment in Barrie.
