We were up from Dunedin with friends and decided to take them to Doolan Brothers Ellerslie. The pub atmosphere was light and cheerful, dining tables on the mezzanine level meant we could enjoy our meal away from patrons but still be part of the atmosphere. Food was 10/10, T-Bone with prawns cooked perfectly, fish and chips were delicious, as was the chicken. We highly recommend.

Delicious steak. Good range of beers, and of bourse being an Irish pub, they had an Irish quizmaster!

Doolan Brothers is always our standard for good pub food. It did not disappoint. Food was delicious and the staff were attentive. It was UFC Fight Night so it was also very lively and loud.

We really enjoyed our night out with friends at Doolan Brothers Ellerslie. Lovely service, yummy food, loud happy atmosphere. Would definitely go back again! The lamb dump and potato side - delicious! Cheesy garlic bread, chicken wings (that were actually nibbles not wings)... very yummy!!
Thanks for having us!

Service was excellent and so quick. Food tasted great and portion size is definitely going to make you full. The only disappointment was ordering the crispy pork for a main, the pork was drowned in gravy and there was no crispiness and no crackling :(

Took Miss 7 and Miss 3 with us on our dinner date to Doolans. Was a busy night and we arrived early but it was not a problem and kids were well catered to with colouring activities and friendly staff who promptly delivered food for them. Kids bento boxes were great, our food was pretty average but service made up for it.
We will be back with the kids again soon.

Great atmosphere on a Friday night. Steak and pork belly was delicious. Attentive service. Only negative was the desserts selection was limited (3 choices) and quality/value of the two we ordered was poor.

Five of us went to celebrate an early Mother's day on Saturday night (3 generations). Very warmly welcomed into a lovely pub/restaurant. Bit worried about the lively atmosphere with elderly parents but had a great night watching the Warriors win against the Dragons! Food was amazing - two had the Guinness pie, one chicken mushroom pie and two chicken burgers. Portions so big we could only manage two desserts which were also great. All in all a great find in Ellerslie with plenty of free parking right next door. No problem taking an additional person at full price. Had a great night.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Doolan Brothers. The staff were very friendly and the food excellent. We used to be regulars here, but after moving out of town five years ago, hadn't been there since. It is still the great bar and restaurant that we remember.
