Been to Donegan’s many, many times as your Always Guaranteed the most gorgeous meal. The food is superb & I’ve Never had a bad meal, or even an ok meal ever! We’ve actually been going a lot more often lately as the Sunday Roasts are to die for & a simply Must Go experience for the Roast Beef is just somethin else! As for the Staff, excellent, totally 1st Class & always at hand to make sure your experience there is a good one! All the staff are lovely, but Ivan, oh boy he’s just something else. He’s always on the ball & on top of everything. You just know that he’s been in the restaurant trade for such a long time. Donegan’s just simply, wouldn’t be the same without him!! We’re going to start the New Year of with a bang, and book for Sunday Lunch this coming Sunday for it’s a Must! I just want to say a Very Big Thank You to Ivan & All the Staff for making our trips there in ‘2022’ such fun & so here’s to’2023’ an many more happy times once again at Donegan’s! Thank You All, Pauline xx 🍾🥂🍾

Fries and onion rings on the side really clean cooking and very enjoyable, portions are spot on to. The service was excellent you want for nothing here, with all of that in mind your experience is enhanced with a great pint of Guinness. Can't wait to come back well worth every penny.

We visited Donegan’s for the first time on Saturday… and loved everything about it. The friendly bar staff were amazing,and raised a smile from us (and others) for their dancing behind the bar on Saturday night. There was also free music bingo on the Saturday night which was very enjoyable. In fact we liked the place so much we returned for Sunday lunch. I had a chicken stack, and my husband had the turkey and ham dinner. Both were delicious and very generously portioned. It was our first visit but definitely won’t be our last.

Popped in and got seated in bar promptly. Basic pub grub menu but portions very generous. Prawn cocktail was great. Lasagne came with garlic bread And a side of choice of potatoes….Would have preferred a choice of Sunday Roasts - only Beef option and No vegetarian option eg nut roast (just veg). Staff were excellent- checking we had drinks, food was okay etc.

After googling good places to eat in Bangor we read the reviews on this place and popped along. We loved the character of the place. The service by our waitress and waiter were just a real treat! We felt like we were special! So personable. We were treated to a taste of the soup of the day (chicken leak and potato) with a slice of Wheaten and oh my goodness! A cuddle in a cup! So delicious. I wanted to try Champ too and was not disappointed with my delicious choice of O’hara Chicken. My husband devoured the rib eye steak! Melt in the mouth! Honestly the tastiest food we have had in ages! They kindly let us take home our desserts which were gorgeous! As someone else wrote- I couldn’t believe the depth of the pavlova! My my!
