What People Are Saying About Donnybrook

In Short – The Lower East Side gets in on the gastropub game with this graceful and airy neighborhood tavern outfitted with wallpaper, dim lamps and highly polished dark wood. Rustic benches and a wraparound quartz bar welcome gregarious tipplers who've outgrown their dive-bar phase; they savor a swell selection of Scotches and bourbon--snagged from the top shelf by ladder-climbing barkeeps--as well as eight drafts including Longhammer IPA, Brooklyn Lager and the requisite slow-poured Guinness. Blissfully, there's not a drop of PBR to be found. – – Hits: When late-afternoon…

great local bar
by bammbbooo at Citysearch
So my friends and I have been going to this bar since the beginning of the summer. Its a great spot to relax with friends and just have a few beers/drinks. The bartenders are great especially andy and rory. Every time we come here, we are always welcomed and never had a disappointment.
BTW they recently started serving food at the bar after 5.
i recommend this place...
- Pros: bartenders and food

Terrible bedside manner
by velvet1965 at Citysearch
Short and simple: I don't care if you're Irish and tattoed and you're the owner and you could probably kick my ass with one arm tied behind your back-- you don't treat your customers like crap because you think you're a badass. If you don't like our patronage, ask us to leave. If you don't like our conversation, ignore us. If you can't handle questions about Ireland or the Scottish Premier League, you're in the wrong line of work. Find Valium, take accordingly. I am NEVER going back to this place.
- Pros: Selection of scotch is fair
- Cons: Bartender/owner a complete douche

Great Neighborhood Bar
by RBK at Citysearch
The Donnybrook is a great local bar with an always friendly crowd. A nice place to work during the afternoon (free wireless) and a long happy hour (from 12pm - 8pm).
The music is usually good and while they have a few televisions they aren't in your face and don't give it a sportsbar feel.
And Anderson - the bartender - is probably the coolest, friendliest, prettiest, and down-to-earth bartender in the city.
- Pros: Long Happy Hour & Great Bartender
