Good service, fun atmosphere! We showed up around 3pm on a Saturday and they seated us right away. I have a gluten sensitivity and I wanted stuff on my burger that wasn't an exact match with any of their menu items. They were happy to accommodate with a lettuce wrap and making me a burger with grilled onions, cheese and mushrooms - kind of a mix of their mushroom swiss burger and shamus bacon burger ingredients. Good burger though lettuce was a little wilted. My husband enjoyed his stew and my daughter liked her Shepherd's pie. While we were there, a young lady got up on the bar to sing so she could have the honor of sticking her signed Dollar bill on the wall - everyone ended up singing along which made for a fun afternoon. read more

Service here was phenomenal. It was half St. Patty's Day and there was quite the crowd, so we sat at the bar. Amazing service from all the staff. The bartender was busy but we never lacked for anything. Lots of great irish beer on tap, and a good selection of spirits. Food was great! Our party had the steak, rueben, meatloaf and fish & chips. Steak was cooked perfectly as ordered. Fish and chips were crispy and tender. Seasoning on the fries was a hit. We were privileged to enjoy the live bagpipes as well. Definitely recommend this casual and fun spot. read more

My boyfriend is Irish, so we always have to pop into the local pub. What a cool place! Much bigger inside than expected and walked in to Irish music playing,as it should be. Really fun authentic feel. The food was really delicious too. I got the meatloaf which was tasty and filling and my bf got the Shepherds Pie, which was yummy and filling as well! Lily was a delight as our bartender. Thanks for the nice time! We'll be back! read more

We had Emily, who went above and beyond the call of duty to give us outstanding service. Since this was our first time (being that we are from out of state) Emily made some recommendations that were spot on. The Reuben was terrific as was the cole slaw, very creamy. The menu features a wide variety. I highly recommend O'Doherty's. Go Huskies. read more

My bad for ordering the salmon sandwich. When I asked the waitress how it was, she said "I don't know". There was my sign. But I was in Washington! That is typically what I am going for whenever in Washington. This was my first time in Spokane, but O'Doherty's had come recommended. It was also within walking distance of my hotel, and it looked like a good option. They had the salmon sandwich and another entree, so I figured it was a decent opotion. The waitress said she only ever eats the Shepherds pie or the stew. Traditional pub fare, maybe stick with those. There were no pictures of the salmon sandwich on either google or yelp either. There was my second sign. Well, there is one now. The fries were thick steak cut fries, and tasty. The salmon sandwich was BLAND. SO bland. The fish had never encountered any seasoning. It wasn't over cooked, but completely unseasoned and came with lettuce, an underripe winter tomato, and a dollop of honey mustard salad dressing, on a bun. The salad dressing was between the bun and the lettuce, so completely absorbed into the bread and did absolutely NOTHING for the sandwich. Completely forgettable. The prices were good and the atmosphere was lively, just don't order the salmon. read more

Great food, fast and friendly service and a happy family friendly atmosphere. And a well poured pint of Guinness.

This place was great. Bar area plus a place for people with kids to sit. The owner manager called everyone's attention to sing happy birthday to a little girl. It was pretty cool. One of the regulars we were sitting by said it is a normal occurrence. Food was wonderful. Stew was thick and comforting. Steamers were buttery and perfectly cooked. And the Rueben egg rolls were the best I've ever had!! Seriously hands down 12/10! Must get. read more

Was in Spokane on a work trip and happened to overnight there Decided to try this place and oh boy so glad we tried it Starting with the service our waitress Chloe was fantastic! From being so friendly and helpful to giving us tips about places downtown. The beers on tap we tried were local and so good and refreshing. The FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!!! They also have outdoor seating and a nice little patio that faces the river front. The whole time we were there was very enjoyable definitely will go back there next time in town. Chloe THANK YOU for such a memorable experience we had a wonderful time while there :) You are an example of what GOOD customer service is all about! Your biz gained two loyal customers. read more

This was an amazing establishment. Food good, waiter amazing, friends absolutely terrible. My friend Josh asked how many fries would come as a side--like a number. I tipped 30% because I felt so bad for the pain he caused on our waiter. Come to support, but make sure you come with friends you actually like. Also ambiance was good, really liked the creativity of dollars on the wall. Would eat here again. read more

Lunch after walking through a lilac parade street event. Took about four minutes for seating due to the large crowds. Nice table near the bar with a great view of the thousand or so dollar bills hanging on the walls and ceiling. Seems you can put one there if you get on the bar and sing a song. Very entertaining while you wait for your food. I ordered the Guiness battered fish and chips. I've eaten fish and chips from a small shop on the shore of the North Sea to dozens around the world and I have to say, this was my favorite. You may ask why so here it is; the fish was large and fried to a delicate crispiness with a very tasty batter encapsulating the Alaskan pollock underneath. Seasoned perfectly, it was stunning. Secondly, the tarter sauce was hands down the best I've ever eaten. Extra creamy and smooth yet didn't rely on onions, pickles, and such to boost the flavor. I used a chip to get the last drop out of the serving dish and would have bought a gallon of it if they sold it that way. The chips (or fries) were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, perfect accompaniment to the fish. Completing the plate was a vinegar-based coleslaw that I thought I could detect a hint of malt in it. The sharp bite after the chips was the best. To make this meal one I will never forget, the server was excellent. Fast, friendly and personable, she had everyone at the table singing her praises and adding to the tip. You can not miss this place. NOTE: The picture was not my plate, I ate 90% of mine before I realized I had not taken a photo so I asked a couple senior ladies next to us if I could photograph their plate when they received it. I had to explain Yelp but they laughed and agreed so they get the photo credit. read more

Came for dinner, left with a smile. In search of a happy hour and good atmosphere, we found this pub in the heart of downtown close to the river front. Although the outdoor patio looked inviting, we were more impressed with the interior vibe. The walls were covered with dollar bills, each signed by customers. My daughter was hooked, and it wasn't long before she went through the rite of passage to add her own note. The food was great, our drinks were cold, and all during happy hour to boot, so good prices. This was a fantastic night to remember. read more

Disappointment after disappointment. Nothing was as good as it could have been. The McGinnity fries were pretty good, but they suffered from the same problem as most things with melted cheese in that the cheese congealed before I got it and thus became annoying. The shepherds pie was not up to par and relatively flavorless. Honestly pretty bad. The only thing that really saved the meal was the bread pudding and even that wasn't enough to change my mind. read more

We went to visit Spokane Falls while they were high and, after drying off, decided to drop into O'Doherty's for a pint. We sat at the bar and immediately became involved with the bantering regulars. I decided to join the "Family" and mounted the bar to sing a lusty verse of "Hal and Tow". We ordered pints and onion rings, which were perfect! We decided to stay for an early dinner. I ordered the bangers and mash. It was the best I've ever eaten in 67 years! It was served Irish style with cabbage instead of mushy peas. The banger, potatoes and cabbage went down with relish! You can't beat prompt and friendly service with delicious food. read more

Night out for my wife and I, and while wondering downtown decided to step into O'Dohertys. Great choice. The greeter (also waiting tables) was excellent, which usually isn't something that is noticeable. He was very welcoming and just friendly. Thanks Jeff. We were seated fairly quick and drinks were brought promptly. We ordered a salad and fish and chips. The apple almond salad was outstanding, with gloriously large chunks of high quality blue cheese to give it a nice punch. The battered fish was also awesome, something they have clearly been doing well for some time. Shared bread pudding finished things off and it was so, so good. What a great experience. Definitely going to have to make this a stop more often. read more

I have to say it was one of my most enjoyable lunches in awhile. Came here after walking around the river front for some lunch and between the food and service it was just fun. You walk in and it's a seat yourself so it was maybe a few minutes before a server came over. She brought waters and menus and let us some time to peruse. I got the Irish stew, my parents got the burger and the Ruben. The food didn't take too long and came out hot and fresh. The fires were seasoned, hot and, crispy. My stew was hearty but also light. It had a lot of veggies and the broth was nice and light. My mom loved her Ruben. Not my taste but she thought it was one of the better ones in Spokane. The burger is what you would expect. Good meat and topped with the normal veggies. What really made the experience was when my mom wanted to put a dollar on the wall. In order to do so you have to get on the bar and sing and dance. Before she did so, I am guessing the owner came up and make it an event. Which was perfect because both her and my dad were celebrating their birthday. He made a speech and she sang and the whole restaurant was singing with her. It was just fun. It is just a cool place to grab food or drinks and you walk away feeling happy. Definitely will be back. read more

O'Doherty's in Spokane is a fun Irish pub, located close to the downtown restaurants, and right across from the Riverfront Park - which is worth a visit in itself. The Guinness Fish and Chips was excellent. In particular, the chips (aka, French fries) were exceptionally good. The Irish stew was hearty and tasty. The onion rings were nothing special, nor was the bread that came with the stew. Being that Spokane is sort of in apple country, I tried the apple crisp for dessert. It was very good, but on my next visit I will probably try the bread pudding. The service was friendly and professional. Overall, O'Doherty's is a great place to go when you are visiting Spokane. read more

We went here for Restaurant Week, February 2019. We had a great time. Parking can be tricky if there is a ton of snow around as there are few street parking spaces and the parking lots are well used. The decor really does elicit a street grunge feel with Irish undertones. If you switched the dollars for euros you could imagine you're actually in a pub in Dublin. There are just fewer people drinking pints of Guinness. My meal consisted of Irish stew, fish and chips, and apple crisp. Each course was excellent. Most notably, the fish was wonderful, moist, tender, and very filling. And the chips, when smothered in vinegar, were delicious. The wait staff were busy yet we did not feel neglected at any time. We were there on a Saturday evening at about 5:30 and the place was packed. A very pleasant experience. Worth repeated visits. read more

Review: Restaurant Week Menu 2019 It's Saturday night and the last night of Restaurant Week, so whatya gonna do? Run to the next restaurant on your list. For me, it was this pub. They have Guinness on draft, but I refrained because I'd done my research and had the Irish Coffee pegged as my third course (beer and whiskey doesn't mix well in my stomach). Luckily, the waitress was on her game and asked if I'd like my "dessert" to come early. Absolutely. Bring it on. First course: Irish stew with two huge chunks of bread. Filled with veggies and flavor, this stew was an excellent starter. Next course: fish n chips. I believe my plate included the whole fish. If you're familiar with the size of cod, then you know how much fish was on my plate. Chips were thick and just the right amount of salt. There was a small little plastic cup of coleslaw (tasty). The fish was excellent. Bring your appetite. My last course: the Irish coffee was savored throughout the meal, which worked out perfectly for me. Interior is fun. You can participant in decorating their interior by bringing a US dollar and placing your own "design" on it before sticking it on the wall or ceiling. Parking is not fun (paid at the lot next door)--easily done but added cost. Pro tip: the waitstaff doesn't seat you. You have to be aggressive! When you see someone leaving, RUN, grab the table. The waitstaff will clear the previous parties' mess later. I'll be back to experience their Guinness on draft and other entrees when parking is free. Hope I can find street parking on a Sunday. read more

Best Irish bar in Spokane. Great atmosphere, and they know how to pour Guinness. Foods not that bad either. Try the shepherds pie.
