We didn't reserve in advance (which I now highly recommend). The wait was about an hour, but we passed the time at the nearby Churchill with a pre‑drink, and they texted us when our table was ready. The Sunday night jazz band was fantastic. The staff is incredibly friendly, and they work together as a team to take care of you. Amber was our primary server - she was great. Service for both drinks and food was quick, and the cozy Irish pub atmosphere made it even better. Definitely try to reserve ahead on the website if you can. If not, just plan to relax at one of the nearby pubs until your table is ready.

Sure, it was good... but Doc's knocked by socks off. I went here on a recommendation from the staff at a hotel that competes with the Best Western where Doc's is located, which is always a good sign for a hotel restaurant. Got the corned beef boxty, which is amazing. With the boxty fries, which were really good - much better than standard fries, in my opinion. And had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Heavenly. I actually went back two days later after dinner at another restaurant to have the sticky toffee pudding one more time. The atmosphere is very nice, like a pub should be, with good service from the bartender, music the second night I was there, and some good conversation with a fellow traveler from London (Ontario). The odds are high that I'll be back. If you're looking for somewhere to burn all the delicious calories, my suggestions are the Niagara River Recreation Trail (from Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake) and the Niagara Gorge Hiking Trails. Three and a half out of five for Doc's matches. They burn well, and are a cool souvenir, but it's difficult to strike them on the side of the box. Still useful to have around the house where I can strike them on the side of another box, but not ideal for a retro night out on the town.

Tasty Pub Fare, Great Vibes & Even Better Reuben Bites!…read more Doc Magilligan's is a cozy Irish pub with a solid menu, a great beer selection, and a lively atmosphere. We really enjoyed the live music--it definitely added to the vibe, though it did make chatting a bit tricky at times. That said, the sets were short and added a fun touch to the evening. We started with a few appetizers, and everything hit the spot--the cauliflower bites were tasty, the spinach dip was solid, but the star was definitely the Reuben Bites--absolutely delicious! For mains, my wife ordered the mac and cheese and loved the depth of flavour--you can really taste the leeks, which was a nice twist. I got the chicken parm mac and cheese and thought it was fantastic--the chicken was juicy, crispy, and perfectly done. The rest of our group was just as happy--my brother raved about the Chicken Pot Pie, and the Bangers and Mash were also a hit. Overall, a great Irish pub experience with comforting food, friendly vibes, and some standout dishes. Definitely worth a visit!

Alas, since it was midday and I was driving, I had a Diet Coke rather than a draft. It's a cute pub and there were a few people scattered about. I was torn between the Homemade Butter Chicken or Scruffy's Meatlovers Pizza (bacon, hot Italian sausage, ground beef, cheddar, mozzarella and tomato sauce). My server suggested the pizza. I love love love pizza so pizza it was. It was okay. It was really chunky with meat and there was lots of cheese ... so no complaints about the amount of condiments. The crust wasn't so great, though. The texture reminded me of a frozen pizza. When I'm in that area again, I'll stop in for a beer a meal.

They share the same kitchen (and perhaps owner too). When we got there around lunch time, Nevizade was still closed but the staff said that we could order from both menus. The interior is typical of that of an Irish pub, with Irish-themed decorations, big TV screens (playing football at that time), full bar section, a small stage (for live music / performances at night), and traditional Irish music playing in the background. The interior was quite spacious with plenty of tables and seatings available (both at the bar and dining area). We were there just a few days after Halloween, so they still had Halloween decorations up (spider webs, skeletons, etc.). I liked the festive Halloween feel. The menu was pretty good - salads, miso salmon bowl, and the typical bar fare (such as burgers and fish & chips). Food was decent (I had the Arugula Salad), and service was nice and friendly.

Solid wood bars and fixtures, "snugs" for intimate seating, an authentic country kitchen available for group bookings, and a patio for the warmer months, a lot is packed into this small space. Noticed a few other reviewers lamented the lack of food options and beer selection. This is not that kind of pub. If you want a fancy microbrew or hot meals, go next door to Allen's (same owner). Here you get Guinness, Harp, Kilkenny and a few other well known brands and bags of crisps. The food comes from next door anyway, unless you book the Irish kitchen for a group. There is no table service. Like a real Irish pub you go to the bar to get your order. I suggest tipping still, unlike back home where younwouldnt normally, only because it's still Canada and that's how the bar/restaurant industry is set up here. Love the live music and I was there on a Sunday night that would be next to dead at any other place, but Dora was packed and the crown was having fun dancing along to traditional jigs and reels. This place cannot be passed up if you are looking for a genuine, cozy and entertaining Irish pub experience.

The ambiance of the restaurant set the stage for a casual meal, with its modern yet inviting decor and a welcoming vibe. We ordered The High Priest and The Vatican burgers. Both burgers were massive, showcasing a generous stack of ingredients that melded together to create a heavenly flavor with every bite. Accompanying our burgers, we had the Stern fries and Poutine, both of which were delightful. The fries were perfectly crisp, and the poutine was a gooey, cheesy masterpiece with just the right amount of gravy to make each bite a treasure to savor. No meal at The Burger Priest would be complete without one of their thick, indulgent milkshakes. Describing these shakes as "thick" is an understatement; they were so rich and creamy that stirring them was a workout in itself - a testament to their quality and the generous serving of ice cream used. The staff were attentive, friendly, and quick to offer recommendations, making our dining experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.
