Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

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.More

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.More

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.

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.More

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.

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 soonMore

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!More

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 mealMore

Few minutes walk. Turn left from The Marine Court Entrance, then left onto High Street. It's on the left hand side about 150 yard up.
