We were immediately greeted and placed drink orders. I had the espresso martini. This was not your typical espresso martini it was so good and very very strong. For dinner I ordered the Guinness pie and my Friend got the seafood pie. Both were delicious but the Guinness pie was exceptional. I love to share food but did not want to share this. I wanted to savor every bite. O ate the entire pie and its was huge but so good. Couldn't pass up sticky toffee pudding and my goodness am o glad I somehow managed to find the room. One of the best desserts I've ever had so good I could've shed a tear. Can't wait to visit again.

The bar is fairly small with most of the tables for 2-4 people so it's probably not well suited for big groups.

There's a selection of 6 beers on tap, plus bottles, liquor and even a few wine choices. What more could you want?

Sam was our waitress/bartender, and soon after another, Sam joined her of the male variety which he will not be pictured here. They are TVs showing traditional games and plenty of seating at the bar as well as outside of the bar. The restrooms are typical of the pubs, very small with tiny sinks, so be prepared. I would consider this another traditional pub, with a twist of Americano and European . I can certainly understand that they would be busy on popular nights if not most nights, and the ambience would be loud but expect greatness from this place

Came here on a whim for some drinks whilst celebrating my birthday! When my friend and I were…read moreseeking out a pub, I was hoping to go somewhere that was lively but not overwhelming and had a nice, mixed crowd. This place checked all of those boxes! Since it was my birthday, I knew I wanted to get at least a beer - my friend and I ended up staying for four drinks heh. One of them was a Sex on the Beach since it was advertised as a special drink of the night. It was good! Not too stiff, not too sweet. Overall, the pub had a cozy, laid back vibe that was the perfect spot to chit chat and enjoy a drink. It seemed small on the outside but was actually quite roomy with a small patio in the back. If you want to give this place a try definitely do so!!

My burger lacked flavor though and was a little tough which was disappointing. They did say that the burgers cook on their own trays so hopefully cross contamination is mitigated. The Eton Mess was phenomenal though and redeemed the meal. Service was fine, they were very busy with the rugby game so the delay in things made sense. Ambiance was great with a table next to the roaring fire.

The term "gastropub" is overused, but it certainly applies here. The food at O'Donnabhains was…read moresignificantly above the norm in quality and innovativeness. All the meat is Irish, the fish from Star Seafoods, a local Kenmare fishmonger, and the produce is from the Wild Irish Way (coastal western Ireland) wherever possible. I had two "starters" for my lunch, both specials so I can't get the details from the menu now. The first was a baked goat cheese and chorizo tart. Made with a phyllo pastry, and served over greens. Everything about it was perfect: the phyllo so light that it shattered when cut yet it wasn't dry. The cheese was golden brown on top from broiling. The chorizo was in tiny pieces scattered on top so it didn't overwhelm. The two or three kinds of lettuce greens underneath were light and delicate. My other dish was a fish cake, fish and potatoes actually. Fried to a beautiful golden brown, drizzled with a balsamic vinegar sauce, and served over more of those excellent greens, this time dressed with vinaigrette. The dill on top was more than a decoration, it was lighter in flavor than most, and the flavor complemented well. It was a very attractive presentation; even the dish it was served on was pretty. I didn't try the wife's Cottage Pie: minced steak and potatoes topped with mashed potatoes and Dublin Cheddar but she did like it. And it was also attractive, with the potato crust ruffled and the peaks perfectly browned. Garnished with parsley. Like my dishes, visually beautiful. We shared a banoffie pie for dessert. This is uncommon in the US but I might compare it to a banana cream pie with caramel sauce addition. Ok but not really my thing, and too much cream filling for the amount of crust. That's all I remember about this great meal. Looking at the menu just now I don't see my items on the menu as they were specials. I was surprised and pleased by the prices of the standard items, most of which were below average for the area, especially for a place that describes itself a "gastropub".

As it's cold in October, we enjoyed nice cozy seats inside. I'm sorry to say that during a vacation, restaurant dining experiences sometimes run together, and details can sometimes escape me. That's why I save the receipts! 3 Pints of Kenmare Stout (and water) started our meal, followed by orders of Cottage Pie, 2 Flatbreads, and a Ploughman Panini. It was all really good, and that our order was taken and delivered fast and friendly.
