O'Duffy's Pub

Amazing food amazing atmosphere the drinks are amazing I can't wait to come back found this place by accident glad we did this place is great

This is my brothers favorite Irish pub in Kalamazoo. It's not far from his house and he frequents it on the regular.

I am in town we always have to come here and get a pint. Do you know what kind of me.

This has a really chilled and cozy feel. My brother knows a lot of the staff members and they are super friendly with everybody.

This definitely has a local and neighborhood bar feel. It seem like everybody was a regular and came often. We never ate here, we always just drink, it was that kind of place.

Was first there for a private event. Delightful! Really nice outdoor beer garden.

Returned a few months later. Good place to converse because there's no TV or music. Though a *little* music or other background sounds would have been nice so it wasn't so easy to overhear others' private conversations.

A bit of a hangout for alumni of Kalamazoo's one Catholic high school: An alum owns and operates it. Given that the school's teams are the "fighting Irish", makes sense that an Irish pub would be their place.

O'Duffy's is a wonderful hidden gem that in located in the vine neighborhood. They have a very tiny parking lot, otherwise you can park right on the street. They have a small patio out front, and about 10 tables inside along with a nice size beautiful wooden bar. The cocktail menu they have is creative, and fresh. They also make their own tonic water which is delicious. I also highly recommend the Topolo Margarita, yumm!

Last night I tried their sangria, which to me was very watery and not much wine flavor. I am not sure I will try this one again. We also tried the Goat Cheese Fritter appetizer. It was delicious, served with marinated kumquats and a half of loaf of warm crusty french bread.

The downfall last night was that there was only 1 server for the all of the tables. It took a good 10 mins for her to cover over to us and another 10-15 minutes to get a drink. I would have been nice if one of the 2 bartenders behind the bar could have helped delivery drinks etc.

They have a fun Irish duo singing and playing guitar. Which at times was loud, but they were great.

O'Duffy's is a neighborhood place with a walk-in vibe. During Covid, they've converted their parking lot into seated serving areas, so you have a choice: you can remain inside at their marvelous bar, with full length mirror and old oak plank flooring (just like you'd find at a pub in Eire!) or sit at a table or picnic bench outside. We opted for a bench--painted in the Irish tri-color--for drinks and a meal. Our server was friendly and handled our series of orders with aplomb. The drinks are reasonably priced and the appetizers delicious: I tried the fried green tomatoes, which came with pesto, mozzarella cheese, greens, and a balsamic reduction...YUM! You can fit your hunger to a flexibly sized menu, dial it down to nachos or a hot dog, or dial it up to a filling pasta dish or duck with all the trimmings. If you like O'Duffy's as much as we do, you'll soon be a regular too. Plus: live music some evenings. Minus: parking can be tough.

Went to dinner at O'Duffy's last night before the community Reading Together event at Chenery. It was nice to be able to park, and walk to both places.

We sat at O'Duffy's but ordered from the Cosmo's menu. Draft beer variety was nice. Food was incredible! The wild mushroom and winter squash lasagna, bread with roasted garlic, garlic mashed potatoes, and penne with vodka sauce were all delicious. Nothing I could have changed to make th any better. Portions were large, so the prices felt worth it.

To top it all off, they have to go boxes that aren't styrofoam! Yay!

I've always liked O'Duffy's and after all these years it is still a favorite of mine. I like the atmosphere, the building with the exposed brick walls, the small patio outside, the peanuts, and the beautiful bar. It hasn't changed much and that's all right by me.

We stopped by last night to listen to a jazz band. The music was good and so was the food & drinks. I had the gorgonzola burger, which had a nice peppercorn dressing on it, and D had the Chicago dog. Interesting that they offer carrot sticks or chips with their sandwiches..

Our server was very nice and kept an eye on us The parking can sometimes be a little tough, but we lucked out and snagged a spot in their small lot.

We both agreed we had an enjoyable evening at O'Duffy's.

We were there for drinks, decided to have dinner, my margaritas were delicious, the service was great. My husband was there before with some friends, he said that he had a great lasagne, we decided to have dinner. I had the squash risotto, my husband had the spinach stuffed chicken, they had no flavor, we were really dissatisfied and disappointed. We will go back for drinks as they were really good. We also ordered a burger to go for our son.

This place is great the first time and then totally sucks. I could tell you about all the bad experiences I've had there but just take my advice and don't waste your money.

This was one heck a a find. I had no idea what a great little niche this place was. Erika and I decided to go here on a whim when we heard that there was going to be live music. We struck off knowing little about O'Duffy's, which ended up being a wonderful experience because of the surprises that met us upon entering.

We were greeted by a Bernese Mountain Dog that must have weighed at least a hundred and fifty pounds. As is often the case with big dogs, he was incredibly friendly and calmly strolled the bar at his own leisure. The staff greeted us equally warmly. But what really swept us off our feet, was the incredible vibe. O'Duffy's feels like a mix between a hole in the wall dive, a cozy tavern, and a modern gastropub all the same time. The bar is old-fashioned wood and gold, yet the tables are cafe style, offering whichever experience you desire. Erika and I grabbed a table and began to peruse the menu.

The O'Duffy's menu is fairly limited, offering a selection of around six different burgers, and a few other specialties. All in all, it's a tiny menu; however, the upstairs, Cosmo's (which is owned and operated by the same company), offers a much wider Italian fare. You can order and eat their food, all while remaining seated at O'Duffy's; just ask for a menu.

With all that said, the Vienna Sausage Chicago Style hot dogs that Erika and I ordered were very satisfying. They're made in classic fashion, with both relish and whole pickle slices, and a sesame seed bun. It's a satisfying portion and really did feel authentic. I'd gladly have it again. I'm a sucker for a good dog.

The live music was exceptional, and the jazzy background music fit the hip locale well. Surprisingly, Erika and I recognized a former classmate from our college days playing with the band, so clearly the look for local artists.

I really can't wait to go back and sample the larger menu of Cosmo's, while still enjoying the old-school, wood-and-brick comfort of O'Duffy's. Unfortunately, I do wish that the servers had made us aware of the fact that we could order food from upstairs, since we did not know this. I don't think it would hurt for them to ask all patrons "is this your first time here" so they can explain the menu situation. But bygones are bygones. We can't wait to go again.
