It has a feel to it

This is a place where people who want to be really really loud and drink a lot come to party. It is not real clean but if you are into loud heavy drinking this would be an alright place

Very good food

We had breakfast buffet at Doolin's for 2 days that was included with our stay at the adjoining Comfort Inn. They gave us a discount so we ate dinner there one night. I got a pasta that was absolutely wonderful with blackened chicken. All our meals were good and the portions just right. I would recommend!

Good Restaurant

We ate here while staying at the Comfort Inn downtown which is in the same building. It is an Irish Pub with good food and atmosphere.

Good atmosphere

As the pub is joined on to the hotel,decided to have food and was not happily surprised. My wife wanted a taste of home and had the Bangers and Mash,it was what the doctor ordered and was polished off. I had the Doolin burger and it was very tasty.
The pub is busy,but there always seems to be seats.

Not very authentic Irish pub

An Irish pub with staff in Scottish kilts showing Canadian sport on TV. Came here on a Saturday night with my partner, bit of a queue to get in and paid a few dollars on the door too. Once inside the atmosphere was great, good music playing and plenty people all seemingly enjoying themselves.
The reason I gave such a... more

great selection of beer

we stopped in to gather with our friends and enjoyed a good beer and wings. The service was good and the wings and beer great.

Good Steak Pie, Good Shepard's Pie

Try the Steak Pie or the Shepard's Pie. The meals are big and filling. Both pies stayed hot right to the end. You get grilled fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes. You will not be hungry.

Breakfast

Had breakfast as guest of Comfort Inn. Food was as expected for a fair price, ambient and decoration were also within expectations.

Like a good Irish friend

Doolins is such a staple on Robson street. I have been there countless times. There is nothing fancy about it but it just seems to keep drawing me back. The beer is always good and the location is excellent.

Nice Bar

Went to this bar a couple times to watch some hockey games. Great atmosphere and good beer selection. Nice bar tenders and good crowd.

Authentic Irish pub with a great mixed crowd

Good food, good company and lots of TVs for sports events. Superbowl 2014 was quite the event and an awesome place to be.

Doolins Dine Out

Would love to review the dine out for Doolins that we had today but can only review what we ate. Went there just after 3pm for the dine out only to be told they start serving it at 4pm. This was pretty disappointing. The ridiculous thing was that the kitchen wouldn't do it when we asked even though all of... more

Great beer, yummy food

My husband had the Irish Stew and I had the special, Beef Stroganoff. I tasted both and would have either one again. They had beers that my husband and I liked also. Next time we're in Vancouver we'll be stopping here.

Very Good

Walking in the rain in Vancouver and decided to sit and dry off. We found Doolin's on the corner and felt like a pint. While there we got the Irish Nachos which were very good, with an Strongbow Cider Ale great combo. After awhile we ate dinner and the Burger was very tasty and so was the Shepherds Pie. The... more

Very disappointing

I went to Doolin's to meetup with friends. As I was waiting for my friends to arrive the female server was really rude and she was forcing me to order. I told her i'm waiting for my friends. Then when I finally order they burnt my burger! I'm eating here again.

What's with the tartan

This is yet another bar in Vancouver where the owners think that putting skinny servers in mini-kilts and calling it Irish will mean that people will rush to it. Kilts are Scottish and very few women want to look at anorexic servers with sour expressions standing around all night. That being said, the food, music and atmosphere are good and... more

Great atmosphere

Enjoyed Irish breakfast, the atmosphere and great service. Kilkenny beer on tap and hard cider (Okanogan?). Can't wait to come back.

Good Food and Ale

I have always found the food and service here to be second to none! Whenever I can, I choose to stay at the attached Comfort Inn and not have to step outdoors if I don't want to.

Great beer, food, atmosphere and tartan miniskirts

This pub is attached to the Comfort Inn Downtown hotel where we were staying, so decided to stop off here for a few beers :) and dinner on our first night in Vancouver. Good selection of beers and great simple pub food. Great atmosphere later on when it started to fill up. Good musicians playing also. For some reason the... more

Great Thanksgiving Dinner and nice atmosphere

We were there for a quick beer and meal before our concert we were attending. It was so friendly and great food. Husband had the quiness pie and loved it. It was thanksgiving and I had a traditional dinner with pumpkin pie. We came back after the concert and had another bite. The Irish Nachos were to die for and... more

Love it

Great banter with people in the bar, was so friendly and ordered food which was huge for the amount I paid for it. I loved the mentality of staff and also the customers. I thought lauren was fantastic too so give her a pay rise ;)

Nice place

We stopped in for a beer and some wings. The wings were tasty, although not very meaty. The beer was more expensive than what we are used to being out in the valley, but we still bought 4. The only reason I didn't give this place a 4 instead of a 3 is because of the guys selling NFL jerseys... more

Good Breakfast Buffet

We enjoyed the breakfast we had there in the morning, especially the waffles.... You made them yourself, but it was well worth the wait.

Excellent Pub

The food was great as well as the service. Very reasonably priced. We had dinner here. Later on, stopped in for drinks. An enjoyable pub. Entertainment as well.

Best Shepherd's Pie I've ever had

...and I've had quite a few shepherd's pies in my day. Alone on my first day in Vancouver, I stopped at Doolin's for a pint and a bite, and could not have been more pleasantly surprised. The pint was an Okanagan Spring lager, which seems to be pretty popular up there. After a longish walk in the afternoon heat, that... more

Verry happy to have "Rickard's White" draft

I and my wife went there at 5PM. It was very quiet and very good pub. Rickard's white draft was very good. Not only beer but foods are very tasty. Especially Ahi tuna wanton tacos and Rib eye steak were good.

Post April 30 tax deadline party - pub grub and beers

For a great after work function and pub grub go for Doolin's Irish Pub. Our company hosted its annual post tax return deadline filing party at the pub and it was great. Assorted pub food galore: chicken wings, sliders, massive onion rings. And of course, beers.
The pub also had plenty of TV screens to show the hockey game.
The... more

Typical pub grub and cold beers

After a long day on the road and a late arrival to the hotel, friends and I visited Doolin's for a quick bite/drink shortly before 11 pm.
I have to admit that for a pub on a Thursday night I was disappointed the kitchen was nearly closed down but grateful our waitress managed to get the kitchen staff to whip... more

Good lunch place

As one of the previous reviewers mentioned, the music was extremely loud (and this was at 1:00 in the afternoon). We just asked to have it turned down and they accomodated. Nice lunch, and it was also the place where the hotel provided us with free vouchers for a buffet breakfast, which was very good. Very handy for those staying... more

Indifferent service, awful loud "music

The pub was almost empty, yet it took ages for one of the 4 waitresses to notice us. When we asked why they don't have any Irish music instead of the horrible loud noise, she shrugged and said that nobody ever complained before. Looks like the staff is insufficiently trained/supervised.

Disappointment - and no Steam Whistle

We stopped into this Irish Pub looking to grab some food and a Steam Whistle - we were disappointed on both fronts.
Upon arriving on a Saturday early evening the place was packed with drunk University Students. The bartender was less than helpful and after serving us a beer they left us at the end of the bar and neglected... more

unmissable

This was fantastic. Great food and better beer. All staff were fantastic too super friendly. lots of screens for hockey and soccer too

Best Irish pub

Has a great feel and atmosphere. The was wonderful and the food was superb!! Have been recommending it to all my friends here in seattle, Washington, Thank for a wonderful 1st time in Vancouver!!

Really bad food

This place has a great atmosphere and great potential, but the the food just sucks. On top of that the service was never able to lift up the experience.

This Place Gets Packed

This is one of the many places to be on a Friday or Saturday night. Both nights I passed this place and the line to get in was long. Who knew so many people wanted to party in a pub? Make sure to say "Hi" to the very popular "bouncer" Charles.

Great breakfast associated with Comfort Inn Downtown

Had great buffet breakfast as part of Comfort Inn Downtown room deal, but also good pub for wide variety of good beers

A Jolly Good Time

Three nights before Christmas and the joint was jumping. Locals obviously know and support this authentic and fun pub. Food was functional but people watching was the highlight. After a certain point in the evening, the door to the hotel is locked so we had to exit the pub and walk down the block to the hotel main entrance, but... more

Beware Cheating Bartender

Went for a drink on New years eve and ordered a couple of drinks and the drink came with absolutely no alcohol in it even though we ordered alcohol , I think the Bartender/She thought or assumed we were drunk and tried to get the most out of it by cheating. Besides that when asked for the bill, it came... more

Good beer/atmosphere

I didn't try the food, but the beer was good. The place gets very busy on Friday and Saturday nights and on Thursday nights they have live bands. The servers are very nice, especially Kristin, she's super funny!

Just good pub

Good pub, good beer, good food, good service. What else? Sport on TVs. Located on the first floor of the Comfort Inn Hotel.

Another proper Guinness in Vancouver

A fun pub with great food who know how to serve a Guinness properly. I tried the 'duck bites' which were small pieces of roast duck wrapped in bacon. Spectacular!

There's a star in the kitchen

The layout, decoration and atmosphere of this pub is wonderful. Have a wander around. It's very cool. The food was wonderful. We wondered why an Irish pub had Butter Chicken on the menu. Turns out 'Mama' in the kitchen is East Indian and man, does she know how to cook! The service was a bit slow sometimes, but always friendly.... more

Typical Irish Pub

This restaurant is an integral part of the Comfort Inn Hotel in downtown Vancouver. The menu is quite extensive and is of good quality. I only had one meal there but friends had more and were enthusiastic in their praises. I found my meal to be substantial and tasty. The service was great as was the price.

Good pub fare

We were able to walk here from our hotel. The food was good and the ambience in the area is excellent.

Good Pub

Good pub, great atmosphere and service. Also one of the few places I found in downtown showing Sunday football games. Pulled pork sandwich is surprisingly very good.

Good Pub

This is a standard "Irish Pub" with a great bar selection. The atmosphere was pretty good; sports on TV, some music playing. The dinner menu is pretty extensive for a pub but it is pretty standard pub fare. We shared a large Irish Nachos which were excellent. The Dollins Burger was very greasy but the fries were pretty good. I... more

Go for breakfast only, don't bother at other times

If you are staying at the attached Comfort Inn Downtown this is where you have your breakfast, which is good if not spectacular - although beware if you want yours at the same time as a large group! Tried to get a meal one evening but servers disinterested and gave up. DRinks acceptable but again no interest in what they... more

Good Breakfasts

Doolin's is attached to the Comfort Inn Downtown, and the hotel provides complimentary breakfasts. Their breakfast buffet was similar to, but a little better than, those found at most hotels. I didn't have the chance to eat any other meals there, however.

One of the best Irish pub in the area

A great pub, an amazing service and above decent food! Mid range selection of beers, but a great atmosphere!!

Excellent

The food was amazing for dinner and breakfast. The waiting staff was slow at dinner with not many people in there. But the food was amazing!!

Vancouver's favorite Irish pub on the Granville strip. Live music, Guinness on tap, always a 20 oz. pint. Official Whitecaps Pub Supporter!
