Brendan O'Donnells, Douglas

David Walton left this review about Brendan O'Donnells

Visited 13/07/26. Visited previously on 30/04/19 for ticking purposes, but the odd visit since unreviewed.

Cask here was just Okells Best Bitter. Keg offering of Guinness, Carling, Orchard Isle cider, Falcon lager and Madri.

A good Irish vibe in this traditional venue on the main shopping street. Bare boarded with the bar counter in the rear right-hand corner with tall stool seating along its length. Brown leather studded banquette on the rear left hand wall facing bar counter and serving regular tables. The space in front of the bar has the same leather banquette along the right-hand wall serving regular tables. Decent amount of Irish sporting and drinking memorabilia on the walls and the screens were showing replays of the weekend GAA action with no commentary the sound provided by an Irish crowd pleaser soundtrack. There is a snug in the front to the right of the entrance, lighter wood panelling and a banquette on the left-hand side serving regular tables and facing a large screen on the wall above the fire grate, now screened off by a long church pew style bench. There is a room to the left of the entrance, carpeted at the front and bare boarded at the rear. Seating via a mix of regular and tall tables with a large screen showing early evening racing action and a dartboard in the rear left-hand corner. All told a good venue of its type.
