I haven't been to Rory Dolan's in about 25 years; it's exactly as I remember it. A fun atmosphere, excellent food, and beverages. there's a Breakfast, lunch and dinner menu as well as seasonal specials. That doesn't happen very often anymore where you can go "home".. It made an otherwise somber occasion a little less sad. 2/28/26. We had a family memorial luncheon, originally reserved for 16 people, it soon became 20 people. Rory Dolan was very gracious and accommodating, rearranging tables to accommodate the group. We had a section in the upper dining area to ourselves. There's an extensive adult beverage menu, with of dozens of beers on tap and on ice, wines, and liquors. See photos. The food menu had the expected Irish fare; shepherds pie, salmon, corned beef, and cabbage, etc. There were some Italian inspired appetizers and mains, even Korean flavors. Everyone ordered whatever they wanted off the regular menu. Service was impeccable, the restaurant has an inviting ambience. I noticed there were a lot of "regulars" there this particular afternoon. It's still a pretty cool "watering hall". They have live music on the weekends and they also sponsor local event events. read more

Love Rory's! The ambiance here and the environment is very relaxing and calming. They have a spacious bar and restaurant area, that is conveniently located on McLean Ave. It is a lively space but the decor and dark wood make it seem more like a historic location. I came here for a work event and order the chicken tender and fries. It came out very quickly, even though the bar and restaurant was packed. My food was hot and fresh. I would definitely order this again. Can't wait to stop back in. read more

Stopped here for the Easter set menu, service was great, it was a full house, good vibe, they have private parking. The chicken vol-u-vant was so good and brownie as well. Chicken piccata came with delicious mash and veg. I recommend this restaurant for group dinners and special occasions. read more

Called ahead looking for Eggs Benedict at 2am, walked in and was given a prize seat at the bar by Loreen. I got sliders on recommendation from the barman and a dogfish 60 minute on tap. Then I made this review...It's lining up to be a great night, I can already tell. Yet another epic day begins and we're still early in 2026. #Love #Life #GodBless read more

Rory Dolan's Restaurant & Bar - A message from God that I when I walked in and sat down. - Irish Near Me - Yonkers, New York

As a native from Yonkers this is truly a well known restaurant in the community. IYKYK. I have celebrated my birthday, promotion, and holidays here countless of times. The restaurant offers such a cozy family vibe from the decor to the staff. Rory himself often times walks around saying hi to everyone and it is such a pleasure to see him still all these years! I am not sure about the authenticity of the food but I have yet to have a meal I did not enjoy. For this particular dine in I brought visiting family members to try. I myself had the filet mignon bites with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. You can never go wrong with meat and potatoes! My mom decided on the chicken francese with baked potato. Another classic entree which was perfect and the lemon butter sauce so delicious! My cousins ordered the chicken fajitas. This is another popular entree amongst my family. It is so amazing how this is an Irish restaurant and they do fajitas better than most Mexican restaurants! No shade! It comes in its usual Smokey fashion but the onions, peppers and chicken are not charred! And it comes with a nice sauce that keeps the chicken moist! I washed down my plate with the classic Magners Cider which is my absolute fave. The star of the meal at Rory Dolans is always the dessert! I love how they always come up with new desserts and they bring a demo of each one so you can get a visual! I love brownies so of course got that while my cousins ordered the apple pie. Both are served warm and à la mode and soo decadent and delicious! Couldn't recommend this place more! read more

I enjoyed the standard Corned Beef n Cabbage with potatoes.I also decided to try their Shepherds Pie.It was tasty,but I was very surprised that it had a tomato sauce (or paste) base. I've never eaten Shepherds Pie made that way.Had I known it ahead of time,I would have requested it without a tomato,base,or would have skipped it altogether...Besdes that,the entire dining experience was excellent,as usual at this placeThe service was great,.Reasonably priced,andRory Dolan himself came by to say hello. read more

First time eating here and being in the area. Parking was a tad bit difficult as it is either street parking or getting the lucky with an open spot in their private lot. It was decorated very festive once you walk inside. It was overwhelming but also so pretty with all of the Christmas decorations. We started with mozzarella sticks as an appetizer, they were fried to perfection crisp on the outside and then gooey cheese on the inside. They also brought bread for the table which is also a plus as it had little mini soda breads as well. I ordered the chicken pot pie which was one of the most popular options. The puff pastry on top was huge and delicious when cut up and mixed into the pot pie. The pot pie has carrots, corn, peas, and green beans. I overall would probably never order it again as it was okay and the chicken had an odd taste to it. My boyfriend had ordered a Reuben sandwich which his only complaint was the bread was soggy because it was either not toasted or the sauerkraut and dressing were sitting too long on the bread before being served. The fries with his meal were delicious and rosemary flavored. Our friend ordered chicken fingers and waffle fries which was delicious and a perfect bar food dish. Our server was phenomenal and patient with helping making recommendations and ordering. It does get very crowded after 9pm they shut down the restaurant and the bar opens with a DJ. read more

This was my first time here at Rory's and it was St Patricks day. Our waiter Michael (i think that was his name) kept rolling his eyes he was clearly overwhemled. He also stated when i asked him for a cup of ice "you gotta give me a second" with an attitude (food came before the drinks) Ive worked at an Irish pub for 5 years so I have been there but there is a way to treat people even under pressure or being overwhemed. He was not nice or friendly at all. If it wasnt for the very nice manager my family would have left and it was 14 of us. We were patient and understanding to the situation but left a bad taste in our mouths. The food was not that good and all of the kids were not good the next morning. I was excited to be going here but unfortuntely was not a good experience. read more

We were in the area and was looking for a quick bite. It was about 10 PM on a Friday night and we decided to stop by atRory Dolan's Restaurant. The kitchen was still open, but we were limited to what we could order, but that's all good. Of course the bar was jamming and and the music selection was off the chain. Totally loved it. So I'd ordered Buffalo chicken fingers and a few Guinness. It'd hit the spot, as a matter of fact, anything will hit the spot when you are hungry. Although this restaurant/pub was packed, I was surprised how quick they were with bringing out our food. They also have outdoor seating which was quite nice. It'll be pleasant to sit outside and enjoy the great weather while either dining or sipping on a few drinks. read more

I had been wanting to check out McLean Ave for literally years, so when I planned to go the other day I googled the best Irish pub on the street, which is how I ended up here. I was really surprised at how huge and nice it was inside; there is a massive bar that wraps around most of the front part of the restaurant. The Christmas decorations were also a really nice and festive touch. My vegan friend joined me, and there was almost nothing on the menu he could eat. He was really okay with just having a liquid lunch, but our bartender, who was so, so nice said that he could get the kitchen to put together a meal for him. My friend said it was good. After, the bartender asked what could be added to the menu to make sure there is at least one good option for vegans, so I felt this was really thoughtful of him. The food I ordered (fish and chips) could have been better (the fish wasn't super fresh, but not terrible), but I was okay with that because I was just really enjoying everything else about this place. There is a pretty large selection of draft beers, and that's what I care about more than food when I go to a pub. The space itself and the service really made this pub worth visiting. I will definitely return sometime! read more

Been coming here for 30 years!!! Haven't been here in a while with my move up the line a little. I'm so happy to report that this Yonkers landmark has not changed one bit! The decor is still as I remember true to Ireland. The service is absolutely perfect with most of it's servers from Ireland. Let's get to the food, Soooo good. Traditional Irish fare like corned beef and cabbage, fish and chips, and Shepherd's Pie...YUMMMM ! Along with classics like burgers, nachos, and wings. This place is not just a Restaurant / Pub. It's a transport to Ireland! And a true destination. As we were leaving, my bartender James offered my wife and I a taste of the Irish whiskey from his part of Ireland..it was so smooth and enjoyable. You just don't get service like that these days except for in places like this. Thank you James. If you find yourself in the City of Yonkers, you have to come in for a delicious meal and a PERFECTLY poured Guinness! ENJOY!! BTW, this place has Always supported Yonkers Finest and Bravest!!! Thank you for that. read more

My friends and I met up to have brunch at Rory's Dolan. It was warm welcoming place to be. Our server's name was James and he was so delightful. Wonderful personality, very friendly. we loved this guy. The food was amazing. I had the corn-beef and cabbage with mashed potatoes. I've never tasted cabbage like that before. It was so delicious, it had a nice buttery taste to it. I wanted more. Their serving was more than enough. we all had a little something different to eat. Now, the variety of desserts just blows your mind. I definitely was eating with my eyes. I wanted to sample everything they had on a tray of display. Omg! I had this crumble cake with ice cream and whipped cream and the plate was decorated with a raspberry sauce in a shape of a heart. That was my first time there. But, my friends has been there several times. I tell you they don't disappoint. I recommend this restaurant. They also had private events going on in other rooms. I love that they had bar grill type of thing going on. Also provide valet parking. It's all affordable and reasonable. People were great from the time you come in til the time you leave. read more

We flew in from California this evening and found Rory Dolans was close to our airbnb. I'll have to say this was one of the best experiences I've had at a restaurant in such a long time. The food and atmosphere were amazing. Very personable and friendly staff, a great menu with comfort foods that you rarely see these days. It was a step back in time to quality customer service that welcomes you as part of the family! Rory the owner came by the tables and chatted it up with everyone. He came and spoke with us, asked all about our trip and where we were form and shared parts of his own life. You don't get this kind of hospitality many places anymore and he sent us off with a few Rory Dolans coffee mugs. A must try when your in New York! read more

Came up across the border from the Bronx a few times in the early 1990's when I worked down there. Man, I'm old. So, 30 years down the line and I came up here again for a luncheon the other day. Guinness draft was on point. Food served at the buffet was top notch. My only minor complaint is the very small parking lot. However, if you drive around the corner, you can find parking on the residential streets. Hope to be back before another 30 years pass...... read more

This place is such an awesome and huge Irish pub, after stopping in for lunch today after work, I had to come on and give a shoutout to such a wonderful spot in Yonkers. The location is prime, very easy to get to, and the pub has been thriving for 25 years, so a big congratulations to the owners and team for this. We got a booth in the front to sit down, and parked nearby with ease, there wasn't too many people there during the day, and they had about 3-5 servers 2 managers and 2 bartenders working at the time. The menu is extensive, and has plenty of choices across the board. Wether you want a Sandwich, an Entree, Some comfort food, a Salad, some apps, they got plenty to choose from. The servers also seem to be authentically Irish, at least one of the managers, the batender, and our server was as well. Which is a nice, nice touch. We split a Cesar which was delicious and well dressed after some tossing, and also split a burger and the chicken sandwich too. Burger was well cooked and the chicken was also pretty tender, it's bar food so you should know the caliber of what you're getting. Also had to get a Guinness, how can you not, it was great. They also have a desert tray they bring over and it has a huge spread of choices, so I had a brownie. Warm, delicious and fresh and my dad had another fruit desert thing, he liked it. This place would be an awesome spot to watch Sports, have a night out with the guys/girls, and enjoy a good old fashioned Irish pub. Cheers to 25 more years!!! read more

The service is great too. read more

Went on Cinco De Mayo, thinking there would be a little more festivities going on. But it was just a special menu in addition to their regular menu. We ordered off the Cinco menu. Everything was delicious. We had the chips and Guacamole. Then my friend had the chicken quesadilla and I had the cod tacos. We both had pomegranate margaritas. Everything was good. Rory came around a few times asking if everything was ok! read more

this is legitimately one of the best things i've ever eaten. i went in with fish and chips in mind but saw this haddock with mashed potatoes and mushy peas on the specials menu and had to have it after seeing a gentlemen at the bar eating it. he told me it's the second time he'd been in this week to eat it and i'm so glad i took his advice. it came out piping hot and i was already thinking about the next time i'd be able to come back for another plate just a few bites into this one. read more

This a wonderful, lively Irish pub in an area of Yonkers with many recent Irish immigrants. The interior was huge and brightly lit, with a large bar in the center and TVs hanging all along the bar. Every TV shows a different sport being played. The service is friendly, with the waitresses wearing green and white dresses. The free bread basket that arrived included mini-raisin scones, which were delicious. Along with the bread, there was a separate bowl of individually wrapped packages of unsalted Irish butter. I ordered fish and chips, while the others in my party ordered their own fish and chips and a burger. Everyone enjoyed their meal. The fish, covered in light, crispy batter, was quite good, as were the fries. I also ordered a cup of coffee, which was surprisingly good as well. read more

Dolan's is a lovely traditional Irish pub. It has a fabulous Celtic vibe that comes across most clearly in the hospitality of its staff and owner. Unfortunately, the food here leaves a lot to be desired. The "homemade" turkey and ham with stuffing was nothing more than some type of a turkey loaf that didn't resemble freshly carved turkey breast in the least. The stuffing - while tasty - was less than three tablespoons on my plate, and the one lonely slice of ham was buried at the bottom of some really sad, over-cooked veggies. Oh, well. Maybe I ordered the wrong dish. Go for the atmosphere and the beer; forget the food. read more

It's a great place to get a late night bite and watch sports. The food is good and so is the service!

Visiting the area for the weekend, Rory's is a regular go-to-spot of the friend we were visiting and she was delighted to bring us to have our own experience. The atmosphere was quite delightful-it felt like being back in Ireland, with warm welcomed greetings from staff, some time to chat with the owner (he even gave us Rory's mugs as souvenirs), and Irish music playing from the sound system. It was a nice spot to sit back on the patio & relax. Food: we ordered the Korean cauliflower & a plate of spicy wings. The wings were wonderfully crispy, well breaded, well sauced, with moist juicy insides. But a bit woeful to only get 8 wings for the price and the spicy sauce was a more bbqy than spicy. Though, I was happy to have so many pieces of accompanying carrots & celery. The cauliflower was well seasoned, but overall there was too much breading, giving them a heavy & oily taste-just wasn't my type of snack. The beers were very high priced compared to other bars in the area ($8 for a Guinness pint). Overall, the atmosphere was great, but the meal & drinks didn't hit the spot & were overpriced- I think next visit we would stick to brunch which boasts a more reasonable menu read more

I give Rory props for offering a nice social distancing atmosphere. Plenty of seating. Even a lot of bar seating with plastic dividers.for parties of one, two , 3 and 4. Service was great at the tables. Food is your basic Irish pub but the ambience still thrives in covid times. Unfortunately there's always someone who will break with the rules and go maskfree walking to the bathroom. Or someone who had a few drinks and forgets mask protocol even among their own party. Still service was great and the owner manager came By and checked on everyone. Kudos! read more

My friend also ordered a bomb Buffalo chicken mac and cheese !! It was so so cheesy and tasteful. I would totally get this next time. read more
