Great place to come and watch a football game or any sport for that matter plenty of TVs not a rambunctious crowd good beer selection good finger foods for this type of atmosphere always a good time here

Stumbled upon this place tonight after driving by it dozens of times. Enjoyed the food, service was great, nice atmosphere… Only difficulty was trying to figure out how to get out of the parking lot with all the one way and do not enter signs!

Great Vibe! I’m a little Bias since we share the same name but, really a great bar. The live music is great and the atmosphere is friendly. Bar tender seemed overwhelmed just need to be patient on a busy night. Foods good as well, typical bar/comfort food. If you’re looking to unwind and relax this is the place to be!

We were with a large group and waited 2 ½ hours to be served«ok pub food.» To their credit, they did the right thing and took the food off the bill. If you are looking for a place to eat, look elsewhere.

Nice relaxing place for a drink. I really like the low-stress atmosphere and the patio is a nice bonus.

A few co-workers and I ended up here one weekday night after work. We didn’t know what to expect as none of us have been here before but we were pleasantly surprised. We liked the honesty of the pub atmosphere and spent some time throwing darts in the upstairs area. It was nice to visit a bar that wasn’t pretentious or overly crowded.

Love it here. Really relaxed old fashioned pub. The owners and people who work there are the best. During the nice weather sitting outside on the patio is great. Food is always good. Good mix of people go here, everyone from blue collar to white collar, some college aged etc. Check it out!

It’s a little bit of a dive, but I like it. I went here with my wife and got a Guinness on tap. It was just before midnight and we had hoped for sandwiches, but the kitchen was closed. The waitress did bring us a variety of uniquely flavored chips, so that was a plus.

Dunn’s Pub is as close to a true Irish Pub as you can get here. They typically have live music on Friday and Saturday evenings. If you want the best pint of Guinness in the area, this is the place. They have a full bar and wine selection as well as pub food. It’s a great place to watch a game, grab a pint, enjoy some music, and have some great conversations.

This place is just flat out cute. I love how they use their space… main floor, lower level, upper level, and outdoor seating… smart :) Very friendly bar tenders and staff! They have a great selection of beers and a huge flat screen TV upstairs. I’ll be back!

Dunn, da dunn dunn. No thank you. Came in on Saturday night around 6:30. Walk in where there are three random older men glued to the bar tv. Bartender…waitress…Bueller? Not one in sight, eventually she comes emerges from downstairs… we said we’d like to sit outside. She said well there’s no waitress service so order your drinks now to take them out with you. Oh how nice and accommodating of you. Not! Boyfriend got a coors, I got an Orangina and right after I ordered it, the bartender basically snatched the menu from me and said she never made one before and she had to see what’s in it. Say what? We got our drinks and seated ourselves outside. I thought pubs have pub food… no? I glanced while inside and saw something about nachos or wings at some point. But who would you even place that order with? That one quick drink and we were in and out. I agree with Meghan B’s review. unfriendly and unwelcome.

I really like Dunn’s. I’ve been a few times now, on different days of the week, with different-sized groups of friends, and I’ve always had a good time. Dunn’s has a great beer selection. It’s an Irish pub, so you get your Guinness and such all year round, plus they always have a variety of seasonal beers and regular favorites on tap. I recently discovered the McSorley’s — when you order a McSorley’s, in honor of McSorley’s Old Ale House in New York City where you would get two beers with each order, you get two glasses of McSorley’s Ale at Dunn’s. We didn’t get two beers side-by-side, but we did get a little shot glass to trade in for our second beer, which was probably better because our second glass would be much colder than if we let it sit there while we drank the first. It’s a pretty delicious beer, so I appreciate the ability to get two from one order. There’s also a variety of black and tans you can order, with different beers and the special names for the combinations on posters around the bar. There’s a good amount of space upstairs with some seating and darts, outdoor seating to the side of the bar, and a few tables downstairs. At least in my experience, the staff is always really friendly and helpful. While I prefer quieter nights where I can find a seat and not have to shout my conversations, I went to Dunn’s on St. Patrick’s Day two years ago, and the big crowd was a lot of fun. My friend recently had a birthday party in the downstairs room, and I tried the food for once. It was your typical bar food, but some of it was really good. We had spinach and artichoke dip at our tables, which wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but good. The pizza rolls and pigs in a blanket were solid. The wings were actually fantastic. They were these bone-in spicy sweet chili wings with just enough kick, sweetness, and tang, and done very well — they were meaty and perfectly crispy. My boyfriend loved them. We’re thinking that the next time we have a hankering for wings, we’re going back. And that will probably be very soon.
