Dooley's Irish Tavern

Just came back from this place with my mom, walked in, nice bar/resturant vibe, sat in the back where the tables and booths are at, we sat down and started to look at the menue, ( getting a late lunch ) there were some employees on break or something and sat behind my mom, their was this one guy who talked VERY LOUD and was very hard to carry on a conversation , we ordered, Mom got the itailn sub and I got the Irish club, the the loud guy started talking to the guy behind me and it was almost deafening, I sort of wished the employe(s) had their own section but...watever, then our food came out. I absoulutly enjoyed my Irish club was made perfect, My mom like her italian sub to. next time Im going to try the seasoned fries ( $1 more) our waitress freindly and proffesinal , we used a coupon from the entertainment book and kcocked $8 off the bill, not a bad deal, 2 sandwiches and fries and 2 pops + tip = $20 and some change. will I come back , yes I will.

I like this place for lunch or happy hour. My boyfriend and I stopped in during an afternoon of Christmas shopping for a quick lunch and a couple of dollar beers. Great value. We both ordered the $5 dollar burger, fries and beer lunch special and also had a another $1 pint after. Not a bad value for a fast, casual lunch. They also have a few TV's, a couple pool tables, and darts for entertainment.

As far as evening entertainment, it's not my favorite place, especially when it seems to switch over to club dooleys. But, it's fun to watch I guess.

I've been here twice, and had a below-average experience on both occasions. I can't really understand the popularity and success this place seems to have, since every time I drive by the parking lot looks full. Maybe the location has something to do with it.

My first visit was with a friend. We stopped in for a couple of beers and sat at the bar. The bar was pretty busy (I think it may have been a weekend) and it took forever to get served. I don't ordinarily mind a small wait for drinks, but we were drinking bottled beers, and there were 2 or 3 bartenders working.

They had a DJ who was playing some pretty obnoxious music, and the beers were a little pricey considering the bar is by no means "upscale." I'm told they have good specials, which might be true, but their regular prices could use some adjusting. We left after a couple beers and were surprised to see another patron being pulled over by the police almost immediately after leaving the parking lot.

I finally returned here last week for a friend's birthday party. It was basically the same story. Parking lot was packed, and there were tons of people inside drinking. It was hard to move around, find seating, or even order drinks. The bathroom was also pretty messy, with trash on the floor and no soap in the dispenser. I know this is probably common for a bar this busy, but no one seemed to be tending to it, even after my second or third visit, and having mentioned to the waitress that the soap was out. We had an okay time, but I don't know if I will be back again.
