I went there one, time it almost feels like the show Cheers literally you walk in. Both bartenders are so friendly I apologize I forgot their names but awesome!! The atmosphere is nice The food isn't bad I had fish and chips which wasat really good actually not greasy at all. Wednesdays prime rib night after 5:00pm though I'm definitely going back for sure and then they have like karaoke I think on like Tuesdays and Wednesdays you feel like you're kind of like family and it kind of has that cheers the TV show atmosphere kind of cool actually and a pool table. Prices are pretty good happy hour 3 to 6pm. There is a smoking area In front of the entrance.

Edit 10/16/25 We came in for the 9ers game. We had a great time and perfect food and drinks. Again :) Edit 4/17/25 We had another great time. Shannon rocks!! Edit 4/4/24 May the 4th be with you. Another great meal and service. Love this place EDIT 2/3/24 Today I ordered the BLT on toasted sourdough. They added corned beef for me. This is amazing and a must try! Bottoms up. The macaroni salad is yummy. They opened yesterday and I am here today! All the regulars are here and it feels just like home :) I ordered the Banh Mi and it is really good. Keep up the good work! I got the French dip special!! Very good! Always a good time. Paint night!

Came for the karaoke. Left with fun memories! Not only is the food on point with the flavors the fun atmosphere and the friendly bartenders are quick to serve with amazing cocktail options as well! This place is new and no wonder it's already popular. I'm definitely coming back here. Thank you 🖤🖤🖤

Stopped in to grab a quick dinner with my daughter. We had the fish & chip and a smash burger. The food was excellent and Shawna was great. It’s just a little bar & grill but they do things right!

Wanted to go out since I am a homebody. Ended up here. It was great! Yummy food. The sliders were delicious 😋 I asked the waiter (I wish I could remember his name) if they had any micheladas and he said, "No, we don't have those here. I know what those are though. And I will make you one." 😅 He ended up making me 3 because they were so good! ❤ The karaoke was good (a lot of country music). It got pretty busy around 10pm. Definitely will be coming back for another date night with babe! 🥰

Haven't been in years but stopped by yesterday. Wed is Prime Rib night $27. Honestly the best I've had in a very long while, you'd be paying at least $38 anywhere else. The other food coming out of the kitchen looked delicious! Bartender & Food tender super friendly. Warm old school style bar, drinks on point. I'll be back time & time again. What a gem!

I go there for paint night. The sparkle blossom is a great cocktail 🍸 and I usually get the loaded tots so delicious. Connie is an excellent hostess.

I have literally never once had a burger topping order come correctly but everything else about this place is great. Nice for a lunch spot or at night for karaoke. Friendly staff and cute Irish dive.

Food is always good here. I have enjoyed everything I have there. The smash burger is good, and I really enjoy the buffalo blue cheese chicken wrap.

We came here to eat but only stayed for a drink because the bartender was the most miserable human ever. Would give zero stars for my experience but its not the bars fault she was so rude or maybe it is not sure. She was tall brunette with curly hair. I usually get the names and make friends with my bartender and gave her plenty of chances to make her rudeness forgiven but she took none of them. So now I am going somewhere else for lunch.

First time at Dolan’s the service was not good. I wanted the Chicken Wings Asian. The server didn’t explain me that two types of Friday specials. I ordered to go without knowing I got a regular Fried Chicken instead of the chicken wings. Then I realized that’s why I was the paying that much for my order. The Fried Chicken and the Clam Chowder were very good.

I'm a local and been here many times. Last time, here by myself, I questioned a charge of $9.52 for a pint of beer. Overall I believe my bill was jacked up from $40 to $50. I complained and even the owner couldn't give me satisfactory explanation. I'll let this one go but buyer beware if you're not a regular. The food is pretty good, however.

So I googled restaurants and looked at the menu and decided to go. When we showed up the bar side had people. I grabbed menus and we waited. When no one came I went up to the bar to order drinks and the older woman helped me but seemed annoyed by me. The kids tried the first set of drinks that I carried over and said that the soda was flat. So I told them let’s go and put a $5 on the table and we left.

The general vibe from the bartender was that if you aren’t a regular, you’re not welcome. I am local, but had never been here before. The bartender wasn’t busy — she was having a personal conversation with what seemed like a friend. She looked at me a few times but kept talking, and I finally had to interrupt just to ask for one thing. The male bartender was decent, and the karaoke was fun. As other reviews reflect, a little more friendliness from the bartenders would go a long way. It may be time for some new staff. This place has the potential to be great.

It was my first time at your guys establishment and was wrongly ask to leave if you check the cameras you can see that I was not doing anything in the matter of needing to be removed in that kind of way im very upset with that and hope you guys do something about training you employees how to remove someone that is a real problem

UPDATE: They gave themselves a $12 tip thay I did not authorize. I'll be reporting them to the BBB. I've never left a 1 star reveiw, but I've also never had such terrible service from such an insecure "manager". I've been to Dolan's a handful of times and tolerated the bartenders who are slow and would rather chat with their freinds than make drinks. I even was willing to pay for drinks that magically appeared on my tab that I didn't order, but I've had it with this place. They added a drink to my tab that I did not order, and when I told them about it, they said "Well somebody put it on your tab." and refused to take it off. When I told them that I'd pay for it, but I'm never coming back, the manager came out from behind the bar to confront me about "the people I hang out with". He then kicked me out. Apparently, I hurt his feelings when I said I would never come back. I was not rude, and I did not curse. Do yourself a favor and don't go to this bar.

Rude, nasty, condescending bartender, Shawna. Was recently visiting my sister in Santa Rosa from NJ. I Stopped by here September 7th because I knew they had Guinness draught. The bartender, Shawna gave me a condescending look because I asked her, "did she know how to pour a proper pint of Guinness?" I had been in there the previous week and the bartender didn't know hour to pour a pint of Guinness but listened and learned and thanked me for telling her so I did indeed have a reason to ask the next bartender. She then proceeded to pull a chilled beer glass from the cooler. I asked for a Guinness glass and she snipped, "they're not chilled." but begrudgingly got one and started to pour. She stopped 3/4 way and put it aside. Then gave me another nasty look and went back after 12-15 seconds to top it up. As well as the lack of time she waited for it to settle plus the fact the gas looked extremely high on that tap combined for a 7/8's full bubbling cascading mess which she plopped in front of me. I said, "that's not a good pour" to which she said, "it'll settle down, give it a minute." I said, "I'm not drinking that" and picked it up and threw it out. I stood up and she said "Go" As I was leaving and turned and said, "you DON'T know how to pour a proper pint of Guinness" to which she replied, "oh shut up" I wish I had taken a photo of the pour, it was the worst pint of Guinness I'd ever seen and her but she's a 50 'ish brunette with slightly curly hair. When I got back to my sisters house and told her the story she mentioned that herself and her husband had a similar interaction 6 months previously with that bartender. I stopped by during the week and spoke to manager Shannon and told my story. Shawna has been there years and works Sunday nights, Saturday afternoon, Wednesday evening plus various other day shifts during the week. If she's working, don't stay. This woman should definitely not be in any service position. Oh, BTW. I'm Irish, drink lots of Guinness and have been a bartender in Dublin, London, New York and various bars in NJ for over 35 years, so I do know what I'm talking about.
