I'm not sure why there are no reviews on this bar in the past two and a half years. Wait, it's Burlington, but still. Actually, the only reason I decided to stop by and try Doc's was because of the few positive reviews on here. I usually tire or question all of the endless bars that label themselves "Irish" or "Pub" (and this place has it all in the title) just because they have a harp logo on the wall. But, I must say I was impressed here.
I first noticed the posted chalkboards listing weekly and daily food specials, which were a mix of Irish food and standard bar fare (burgers, wraps, subs, etc). They were also serving $3 Smithwick's, which I happily accepted. After looking through the menu, I kept it simple and ordered the "Chicago" burger with fries. Not just standard fries though...hand cut fries. Both were great!
Aside from the good food, large bar and 18 beers on tap, there was a jukebox playing good music, TVs showing baseball and Buzztime trivia, guys enjoying a game of pool and even Wii golf. Before I left, I stopped by the pinball machines and enjoyed a free game, all ready to go for some reason. I'll be back, Doc.
First time following advice on Yelp!, and it didn't do me wrong! Â Went on a Wednesday night looking for some good Irish grub and a lax feel. Â Bartenders were attentive and personable. Â Definitely had a local but welcoming feel. Â Crowd was between 25 and 50 years old. Â I did feel a little overdressed in polo and slacks at 9pm. Â Ordered the fish an chips and they were spot on! Â Gave it 5 stars because the other reviews I read we're accurate, the staff was friendly and the food was just what you'd expect from a neighborhood Irish pub.
Review Source:I only leave one star bc I just got this app, accidentally hit the one star, and couldn't figure out how to take it off again. After waiting for 10 minutes to place an order in an establishment that wasn't even halfway full, I finally placed my order, then watched the bartender walk away and begin talking with her middle school friends. I came in all the way from San Diego, CA to get a drink at docs and this is what I get? I'll tell you what I got - terrible service and the motivation to make my first yelp EVER about my "fantastic" experience at docs. Don't waste your time or money, folks: avoid it.
By the way, questionable/sketchy patrons.
Wanting to get off our normal High Street path, we wandered over to Docs for a beer on a Sunday night. There were a lot of people there, playing pool and watching whatever game was on (I would never know). Â Its a pretty dark, old-ish place, but they do have pinballs, which is cool, and a pool table. Â The crowd was averaging about 40 - 60, but I hear that a younger crowd floods the place on weekend nights.
I had a martini and fries and both were good! I think a beer would have been more appropriate for the atmosphere.
I'm not sure what is so Irish about this bar. The hamburgers are huge, as were the nachos. This is a good American bar filled with good local people having a nice time out. I went to see a phillies game. There were plenty of TVs the beer was cold and the bar food was fantastic. Â This more of a cheers type bar than dive bar.
Review Source:This is one of the best spots in Burlington!!! Food is dynamite and service is great! Doc, the owner, is so welcoming and talks to everyone! Their quesadillas are the best I've ever had! Their burgers are awesome and Irish dishes are out of this world! They have daily specials at a great price. Don't be fooled by the building.. it is a great establishment!! And they play Wii all the time, which is fun! Please give them a try!
Review Source:Doc's is an off-the-beaten-path bar that has done a lot with the local community to make it a friendly and fun atmosphere. Â One thing I like in a hometown bar is a good pool table, which is freshly felted. Â That, they have. It has no sags, so slow shots work fine. Â Doc, as the owner is called, is friendly to the patrons and does a good job to accommodate them. Â They also have specials for each night of the week, like all you can eat wings for 10 bucks on Tuesday, and 3 dollar Heineken on Wed. Â Bar food is very good. Â I would try the Shepherds Pie and the fish and chips is awesome, if you like that kind of thing. Â The crowd is sparse during the week, which can be good or bad, depends on what mood you're in. Â Overall, very good, if you happen to be in that area.
