Donegans in North Down

Extremely nice staff and a very cozy atmosphere. The food is expensive, but the portions are generous and you get a lot for your money. I had the house burger. I have to admit, it wasn't the best burger, the taste was too bland for me. However, it was very lavishly filled. Unfortunately, the coleslaw was also bland, almost tasteless. The food gets 3/5 stars from me. But the others at the table were served great food. And of course the beer was delicious. Therefore: Feel free to visit!

Had an awesome Sunday lunch here today. Turkey and Ham Roast with all the trimmings - just awesome. Really lovely staff looking after us. The quantity of food was enormous and so tasty. Perfect for a huge appetite! Excellent value for money. Would highly recommend!

Had a family birthday meal here on Friday night. There were 14 of us. The food was amazing & the service was second to none!! Nothing was too much trouble and we all enjoyed a great night. Thank you to the team at Donegans.

Highly recommend, food and service excellent

lovely bar,lovely food, lovely staff

Found this to be a really good pub, great Guinness and service was friendly enough. Found the food menu a bit on the pricey side but having said that the quality is very good. Worth pushing the boat out for a treat or just treat it as a nice pub to visit 👍

Highly recommend this place from outstanding service to quality food. Great choice for our Sunday dinner and nothing was an issue while catering for my son and niece for the kids menu. Sea food pie was something else, delicious. Veg came separately and there was plenty.

A lovely friendly pub with excellent food.

Very good address. Typical pub.

A super meal. Excellent food, great atmosphere and very pleasant friendly staff. Couldn't ask for better for our trip from England on holiday to such a lovely country. We'll be back.

Excellent food and the staff as always very attentive. The Caribbean chicken curry is especially wonderful.

Best Sea Bass dinner ever! My friend had the Mushroom Rissito, the serving size was very generous, but we cleaned our plate, sooo delious. So happy we could shake the hand of our chef to thank him. Highly recommend!

Food was great and customer service was excellent

Absolutely fantastic food! Meal was delicious and plentiful. Staff are great too!

Fantastic meal and 2 pints of Harp Larger. Reminiscing of when I was last in Northern Ireland visitng family.

Food was fantastic ..huge portions ..so much to.choose from

Great food nice friendly service

Fabulous friendly pub with excellent staff. Good food and large portions. Well worth a visit when in Bangor.

First time customer, went with friends that live in Bangor they said great food, fantastic food, best I had in long while, all staff very friendly, when back over too Ireland will make certain we go back.

Had a lovely meal with friends. Staff are great. Lovely place.

We had the most beautiful lunch today in Donegans. We both had the Chinese chicken pitta. It was so tasty, followed by a trio of desserts (delicious). Staff were very friendly as always, service was quick, amazing value for money.

My hubby and myself where here last night for his birthday, food was exceptional, Staff where amazing especially Beth who went above and beyond to make his night special , Thank you all , Stevie and Diana Mount xx

Delicious food, retro atmosphere, nice and courteous staff! Highly recommended

Great spot for food and pints, beer garden is good too in the summer

Went for a Mother's day lunch today. The food was amazing and I was incredibly impressed with how friendly and welcoming the staff were. There's was a Welsh guy serving us and he is an absolute credit to the business, such good craic and a true professional. Will be back more often.

My wife and I had the most tasty refreshing lunch here today, lasagne was fantastic full of taste and meaty very clean and enjoyable, chicken pitta was out of this world really moist chicken soft fresh pitta real creamy slaw. 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.

Staff are welcoming and friendly, excellent food and service, lovely atmosphere Would highly recommend this place.

Wonderful evening family meal. Service was excellent. Food was lovely and plenty of it 😋. Service was absolutely brilliant 👏

Lovely spot for a good feed after walking from Holywood! Super friendly welcome from staff and lovely hot food, generous portions. Would recommend 👌

We had a lovely meal there on a busy Sunday

An excellent pub restaurant, we managed to get a table for two in this busy spot at short notice. The service was exceptional and the food arrived quickly and piping hot. This is a proper dinner, I struggled to clean my plate but it was so delicious on a winter night. I can't recommend this place highly enough, I'm definitely going to be a repeat customer any time I'm in town.

Can't fault this place, the food was great, the way the staff looked after the older generation was commendable, deserves a full board of stars. Well done, guys.

Food is delicious, generous portions, good value. Real ales on sale, a great IPA at the moment. Service is above and beyond. All the staff are friendly, kind and professional.

Always a great place to eat,Ivan is irreplaceable

Excellent roast beef dinner, beef melt in the mouth, only thing that let meal down slightly was the Yorkshire pudding was rather overcooked. Hubby had lasagne which he also enjoyed. Make sure you are hungry when you go, as large portions 😊 We will be back as definitely recommend.

Amazing service. I phoned this place from Dundee, Scotland, asking if a gift voucher could be delivered to an address in Bangor. I couldn't believe it , the waiter kindly delivered after work tonight. Thank you so much waiter, and Amie and Paul

Always good food and Atmosphere

Best pint of Guinness in Northern Ireland so far 👌

Food is amazing! Staff are so friendly. Gem of Bangor 💎

From the moment we stepped in,staff smiling,helpful and friendly,food was lovely 😍 👌

Absolutely loved this bar. Friendly staff and superb food. Will be back again.

Best food and service in Bangor. I’ve been going for years and have never had a bad meal. Fresh ingredients and great portions and the staff are wonderful. Also caters for gluten free and vegetarians. Highly recommend.

Another fabulous meal here! Well worth travelling too! Great friendly staff, very efficient , always have time for chat , make you feel very welcome ! Great value for money , good portions, have tried 3 different items so far on menu all excellent ! Nice gesture of small cup of soup & wheaten bread to start ! Lots of praise for chef ! Lovely cosy atmosphere! 10/10 if you haven’t tried it yet ! Missing out Ivan & Amy such a credit to place work so hard too thanks again for such a lovely night

Love come back to Bangor to enjoy the food here excellent service and food

Food is of the highest quality and the staff are fantastic. Ivan is one of the best in the business.

Everything brilliant. Particularly friendly staff that know when to come and when to go, food was lovely. Favourite spot for Sunday lunch!

From start to finish the good humoured friendly professional service was infectious thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks and our time for my son's birthday lunch at Donegans

Such a welcoming place, great Sunday lunch, so well looked after.

Was genuinely surprised, totally excellent meal ,food was delicious, service was very attentive, staff are very good , atmosphere was really nice , what more can I say ,will definitely visit Donegans again *****

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.

Had an amazing night, food was fabulous, we were all stuffed, it was hot and enormous portions. Service was fantastic, best place in Bangor!

Fabulous place. The food was delicious 😋. Our server was amazing, I mean he literally went above and beyond. Found a table for us even though we hadn't booked.

Fabulous Food enjoyed in a Griendly atmosphere. Very Friendly Staff and a Menu that leaves you spoiled for choice. Our new favourite spot to dine in.

We just love going here for food and drinks! The food is always amazing and the staff are just so nice! Ivan is always so helpful and nothing is too much trouble! He always makes sure we have everything we need and will go the extra mile to help :)

Delicious lunch. Great value ,tasty and plenty of it…..and served piping hot. Service was first class especially as there were ten of us. Highly recommend

We wandered in on the off chance of being able to snag a table and got lucky. The guy who seated us and mostly attended to us - Ivan - really helped make it a wonderful dining experience for us, even asking us if we wanted more sauce or veg. All the staff were lovely in fact. As for the food - we both had the O'Hara's Chicken and it was superb. Lovely spot, wonderful staff, and fantastic food.

I thoroughly enjoyed a Roast Dinner. My friend loved her Pasta dish with a creamy cheese sauce. The chef was kept very busy as they were packed. The service was exceptional without being over attentive. We finished off with s delicious Capuccino. Would not hesitate to return.

Iam leaving a 6 star review if i could , it was just perfect the food was on a next level for a pub , the cook is really damn good I had the seabrass and my god… The wiskey was also very nice that ive got Greetings , from the people of limburg (holland) 🤠

Food is beautiful, staff are friendly, great place!

Awesome service, staff are excellent, food so nice just wish I had ordered double it was that nice.

We loved it, so friendly from when we first stepped in and can’t wait to come back

Great menu and first class service and fairly priced. I recommend it for family outings as they are prepared to tweek meals to meet personal requirements.

Fantastic lunch menu and huge portions! As always Ivan, Amy and all the staff are always amazing. We wouldn't go anywhere else in Bangor as a family for lunch or dinner. Our two girls are also the biggest fans, their kids menu is brilliant.

We were here for some lunch with a group of friends. The service was first class and the selection and quality of the food was phenomenal. Ivan was top class and made or visit all the better. 10/10 would go again and recommend.

Warm service with great banter. Great value on unreal food. Would recommend for a roast to remember.

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.

Amazing restaurant! Friendly and helpful staff but you stay for the food. Oh my goodness the food is next level! Non locals need to try the Champ. Ivan and the team are brill

As always Donegans never fails to impress. Warmly greeted by Ivan, Glenda and Amy. Wasn’t long before we were enjoying beautifully presented and delicious dishes of lasagne, scampi, and sausages and chips. Ivan even slipped us some onion rings. There are very few places in Bangor or indeed the rest of NI that provide such a hight standard of food AND service. Will be back soon

We booked at the last minute for a family get together and they went out of their way to fit us in. Could not have been better. The food was exceptional and the atmosphere friendly and relaxed. We will definitely be back

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! Absolutely loved our Donegan’s experience. Would definitely recommend!

brilliant food and service, nice bar to sit and have a pint aswell.

This bar is very well situated on High Street close to Bangor Marina. It has an extensive menu and the food is excellent. Customer service is great with the staff being really friendly and welcoming. If in Bangor for business or pleasure I would recommend Donegans if you want a snack or something more filling. Prices are very reasonable by today's standards.

Went to the upstairs restaurant to start the celebrations for my wifes 70th birthday. The waiter, Ivan, is known to the family and was very attentive as he was to other diners. The standard of the food was excellent and the portions were more than adequate. I will definitely be back and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal

I don't write reviews though I had to on this occasion ,My family and I had a great time having a meal Donegan's I walked in off the street and they were able to accommodate us with the pram in tow with pleasure, rearranging chairs and helping us to position the pram into a suitable position the bar was by no means quiet, there was a good amount of happy looking punters so this was great they took the time to assist us , the great service didn't end there one of my girls who is autistic can be quite loud and chatty told the waiter that she was so happy about her little bottle of coke that said love on it he played along so well and proceeded to take her to speak to the manager about this glitch in the matrix , it was great she found herself another few bottles that said love and I havnt seen her so happy for a long time they gave us a bottle each for the children free of charge a great gesture everyone from the waiter and waitress to the manager were really excellent and it was a pleasure to be there, plus the food was awesome and everyone left satisfied what more could you want ... until we passed the sweet shop as expected on the way back to the train station definitely recommend

Great staff, food is decent and very reasonably priced. Beer garden is lovely when the sun is out.

Best dining experience you will have in a 100 mile radius Food service and place second to none If you haven't already been it's a must !!!

We ate lunch here on Sunday the 2nd July 2023. There was 10 of us and our table was pre booked. The food as usual was superb as was the level of service and attentiveness. Overall a wonderful lunch coming over from England to visit family. Highly recommend 👌

Had a beautiful family meal here. The food was fantastic and piping hot. The server couldn't do enough for the ten of us. I am coeliac and was catered for so well. I can honestly say this was the best Sunday lunch I have had. Highly recommended by all of us.

Food was great and well priced. The staff are very friendly and nice.

I eat out in many places and countries and I can honestly say that the service at Donegans was breathtakingly excellent. Extremely attentive service from all waiting staff, bar staff and client facing staff. The food was extra amazing with the most succulent beef and...

Thank you to Ivan, Paul (head chef) and all of the waiting/kitchen staff in Donegans for an absolutely lovely evening. We were out to celebrate our wedding anniversary this evening and had a beautiful meal. The atmosphere and ambience was exceptional and staff were as usual very attentive. We will definitely be back as again. Thank you all again. Steven & Claire

This place was AWESOME! Great food all around the table, top notch dessert, delicious drinks, and the nicest waiter ever. Overall a grand experience, I would absolutely return.

Wee catch up lunch today for 7 people. Each one ordered something different from the menu and every dish a hit...especially the Caribbean curry..we all had to have a taste 😋. Excellent service from Ivan and the guys..they never fail to deliver an amazing dining...

Excellent service, delicious food and large portions.

Great food friendly atmosphere. Value for money

Can't believe I forgot to review. They fit us in when almost fully booked. Staff great. Service great. Food very good and they had good options for the vegetarian who was with us. Definitely worth a visit.
