Our problems with this restaurant: 1) We ordered from a rather expensive and overpriced dinner menu. While we were eating, we saw the group next to us get hamburgers, which were not on our menu. Upon asking, we were told that those were on the bar menu only. No one ever mentioned that there was a separate bar menu or... more

The atmosphere is great. There's a smoking bar at the front of the restaurant and the main bar further in. The food was good, but a little on the pricey side. Portion sizes varied depending on the meal. The Scotch and Whiskey menu had excellent selections--unfortunately when I went they were out of the Glenmorangie Port Wood scotch. And to... more

I went there a few times. The drinks are fine. The bartenders and serves have good service. The food is just plaint thought. I mean you don't expect something fabulous at an Irish pub but it's acceptable. The prices are just a little higher than they should be. It has no entertainment or anything, that will add to the atmosphere... more

I took a party of 11 that included guests from England, Canada, and Australia to Daniel O’Connell’s on 5/5/2009. We arrived around 7:00 PM without a reservation. Seating was quickly arranged for us in the upstairs bar. A decent selection of draft beer was available. Try the house ale—very good. They were offering a choice of two (duck or pork)... more

A friend and I were wondering around on Sunday after church looking for a good place to eat. There are so many restaurants on King Street in Alexandria and we ended up at O’Connell’s. They sat us in a little alcove that was great. We felt we had privacy to enjoy our meal but were still part of the restaurant... more

A genuine irish hostelry, with a warm welcome, ecletic menu & real guiness. It is difficult to choose which of the many "bars" to visit. However, whatever your choice it will be exceedingly good value for money. more

Seven of us had dinner here in June 2008. The menu had a huge variety of options. I had sea scallops which were tasty and my husband had the beef tenderloin, very good. The restaurant was unique but we sat in a little cubby so we didn't see much of the place. The waitress was friendly and helpful with questions.... more
