Stopped here for supper. Figured it might be geared more towards drinking than eating, but I was wrong. The food was very good. I was pleasantly surprised.

Came here for a drink and food…. I didn’t know the kitchen was closing and had the most friendly experience with ordering even though I said I didn’t want to they assured me it was fine Luna and Tim went above and beyond to make me feel welcomed and accommodated!

This is a really cool small bar, with a fantastic manager who treats us like family. Their fried pickles are worth the heart disease risk! Great beer pours, quaint environment that is just intimate, but a great place to watch some sports games. They have daily specials. If you want an intimate Irish bar during the day, it's a hit. No idea on the night life, but I can imagine it is quite busy with students around.

Excellent chicken-plenty to eat with my meal

Fantastic experience! Luna made it feel especially welcoming and took excellent care of myself and my group! 10/10 would recommend! Food was excellent as well, the Reuben is the best in town!

Their Irish stew & potato salad are two of my favorite comfort foods around!
Tim, Luna & the rest of the staff are incredible, and will make you feel like family. Its a great spot to sneak away for a nice lunch and forget about all the shuffle & hustle in your day, or a cute little date night spot.
Donnelly's is a cozy gem in the downtown, and I would 100% suggest checking it out- you wont be disappointed!

Never had a problem here with the service or food. Always a fun place and when Iowa City is busy on game days, the servers did the best they can and didn't disappoint. A regular stopping place over the years of visiting

My order was forgotten and therefore arrived 15 mins later. My friends chicken came out black and burnt. We asked for it to be remade and it was. Another friend ordered the stew which looked nothing like a stew. All of this was fine, but when upset me most was that an automatic 20% gratuity was added to our bill because we had a party of 7. I'm a bit shocked at this due to the numerous errors made that this wasn't waived so we could decide the proper amount to tip.

The service was fine, some were obviously more versed than others. The food was good enough. The pretzel is absurd, huge! Irish stew was dark looking and tasting. Looked like an old Irish pub but was missing the elders and such.
