O'Rourke's Public House

This has a great public house ambiance, and the place is large enough to hold large parties. Conveniently located close to Notre Dame's campus, with free 2-hour parking closeby, makes it well-located. The food was overall good, I had the reuben (they call it the Da'Blarney) and the meat was very tender. Reuben fritters were not good. Drinks were over-priced and gimmick, stick to what you know. My largest concern was how bad the fish and chips were, which I judge every pub/public house by. The fish was dry, not crispy, and oddly shaped, like flattened. It was no good. My only other issue was that the service was very slow.

Really good food, went there while our hockey teamed played in a hockey tournament at Notre Dame they handled the large order well!

Good food and atmosphere staff needs a little grooming. But other than that, you gotta check this place out. I got the Reuben and French onion soup. Wow, yummy. Oh, and we all split the French fries and scotch eggs. The food was fresh and hot allow time to cool.

I wish I could have tried some of the food, or even a glass of water. But after we were seated, we waited for nearly 15 minutes and were never greeted, waited upon, or even acknowledged. 3 servers walked past our table over half a dozen times. I do understand that things get busy. I just wish we had been acknowledged. The only good thing I can say is that because of this awful experience, we left and I had one of the best meals at Bru Burger Bar. So, thanks for that.

After walking around the university nearby, I wanted to see the restaurant scene in the area and I was highly impressed with this Irish pub. I first want to say, the bartender Aubri was extremely friendly and made be feel welcomed in the pub. I was able to take my time without feeling rush to order. As for the food it was good, I had fish and chips. I recommend this pub if your in the college town.

The food was delicious and the service was fast. I had the power salad with salmon, which was cooked perfectly. The rest of the table had wi gs that were meaty and tasty.
