I always thought this was more of a bar than a restaurant, but it actually has ample tables and a…read morefull menu that goes a bit beyond bar food. There were several items on the menu that caught my eye, like a Ruben and chicken wrap. However, I went with the special of the night - the wings. I got traditional hot wings, but there was a nice selection of flavors. They were meaty, crispy and deliciously messy. The blue cheese dressing was thick and tasty, too. I also had the Cole slaw, which I enjoyed (though my guest found it a bit bland), and crinkle fries. Unfortunately, they were a little cold and not that great. My guest had the grilled chicken wrap. She enjoyed it. It was very busy and our server had a few more customers than she could handle well. But, she was friendly and was working hard.

Great flavor and presentation. The server, however, was possibly the worst I've ever had. I can't mention him by name because he couldn't even be bothered with greeting us, much less introducing himself. While he kept our waters full, that's about where the service stopped. He was extremely rushed, dismissive, and made no apologies for how long our food took at all. There was a party behind us who had to wait for their food because the poor guy who delivered it tumped the tray, and he spoke to them in a tone that made it feel like it was their fault. I'll definitely be asking for a different server if I return.

We had a group of 14 people that chose Doherty's on a recommendation. We arrived at the restaurant…read moreand were shocked to find out they had arranged a table for all of us in a back room. Our server was Austin. Austin was incredible. He handled all of us with great knowledge and enthusiasm. He had answers about every menu item that we asked about. He took group photos of us and had coozies for all of us. He could not have been more entertaining and a great ambassador for the restaurant. All of our group would highly recommend Doherty's! Make sure you ask for Austin 3:16 as your waiter!

Checked out this Irish pub in Decatur that's more typical of the local bars. It certainly isn't…read morefancy but it's not all bad though. Doherty's is known for its cheap drinks, food, and games. For sure it's even cheap for around here. There's a few locals always at the bar it seems. After many of the other places around here have closed, it was a later night option for us to get drinks and a bite. It was pretty quiet inside. This place isn't a wild hangout most times. It has a pretty simple menu. There's the most basic stuff. It's about $5 for the cheapest Irish whiskey, not bad. The food can be even cheaper if you can believe it. Fries are $3, and these are about the healthiest food here you can get. The rest of the food mostly is meats. Good place to get something cheap. It may not always be good food, in fact it usually isn't, but most people just come for the drinks so they don't really care too much about any of the food. They also have games including arcades and slots for those looking for entertainment and things.

Outside- yes, it used to be a pretty rough bar but was taken over and made into a great tavern. The burgers coming out on brioche grilled buns looked amazing! Wasn't too hungry so went with pick two on the apps. What I liked? The pick two isn't limited.. like they tell you which couple items you can pick. That's small but greatly appreciated bonus. Went with the clam strips (good) and the house battered mushroom slices. And get with their house made ranch! In this cold weather, they also have a great fireplace in the middle, so wherever you sit, you're getting some heat. Looking forward to coming back for dinner! If you want to support a local, family owned restaurant, this is your place!

Walking in you'll either be greeted and asked how many to be seated and taken to a table OR immediately and blatantly be told they aren't seating any more people for the remainder of the evening despite it being well over an hour or two before closing time. Most of the staff are otherwise friendly, but attentive service seems to be hit or miss; they can easily and obviously become overwhelmed or agitated, even despite not having a big crowd. We've seen the cooks and other staff out front of the establishment smoking, which isn't a great look in and of itself, especially having witnessed the staff telling incomers that they can't be seated or that food orders will take a significant amount of time to be prepared. Otherwise the food is very good and decently priced, the eating areas and bathrooms are clean.
