O'Donnacha's Bar & Fine Food — Restaurant in The Municipal District of Comeragh

O'Donnacha's Bar Kilmeaden O’Donnachas has ample parking around the rear of the premises, and a back door which is easily wheelchair accessible. It was, and still is a Traditional Irish Pub. It has a lovely feel to it, and you can tell long before it became a foodhouse, it was a genuine traditional local pub. Much of the character and decor of the building remains providing a cosy pub grub atmosphere where one could anticipate a good hearty meal, and a nice cold pint. Seemed quiet when we were there, but not overally quiet, we were in after the lunchtime rush, and there was a nice few customers enjoying their meals, which gave an overall impression of a place that has a loyal and regular customer base. Despite it being an older style pub, it was spotless inside, and despite some of the tables looking a bit worn with age, and use, (which is perfectly acceptable given the setting) they were spotlessly cleaned and bussed immediately when customers left. Service was prompt and efficient. Upon aerial we were greeted by a nice young male staff member who provided us with menu’s and although he was immediately going to direct us to a seat, as he was about to do so,he left it to us to decide, as the place was not too busy, and there was no need to seat customers in particular spaces. When placing an order, an enquiry was made if a slight change could be made, and to his credit, he immediately said that he did not know, as he had not been working there too long, but would check, which he did promptly and returned confirming there was no problem. Everybody is new to their job at one point and dont always know everything, and I always admire those that openly admit that. They are humans not personal servants. I ordered a chicken Burger, which as you can see from the picture, was perfection on a plate. The chicken was well cooked with a deliciously crunchy coating, when you bit into it half the contents didnt fall out of the far side of the bun, all served with a portion of hand cut chips, and side salad. Zero complaints here about the food Toilets were small but adequate, and although the general feeling of this place is now more foodhouse than pub, the toilets definitely come from the time it was...

So so disappointed, ate hear previously many times and tried booking to eat again here and was shocked at how we were not wanted. Group dinner and money is money and more assured than waiting for people to walk to spend but response we got was, I can't have you taking up half my bar... the lockdown must not of been so bad for them if they can turn away a group looking to book a few tables. Well there loss, would not advise trying to book here if you have more than 4 with the respond we got. Wont be trying it again.... did not have to travel far afterwards to get a place that accepted us with open arms and even provided us with a number to call and confirm numbers and tables are ready. O Donnacha's should try some of that for...

I recently stopped here for some dinner on a Friday evening after work. It was not too busy, a nice crowd inside. The food was so good. I had chicken fillet burger, chips and salad and a can of coke to drink. It was excellent, the burger was so tasty and tender, chips good too. Because the meal was so good, I then decided to have a dessert, chocolate orange cheesecake with ice cream (vanilla) and cream with a cup of tea. It certainly didn't disappoint, absolutely delicious and not too heavy either. I would highly recommend this place. Plenty of parking available, spacious inside, staff friendly, prices have increased but everywhere now the same. I will...
