Food & Drink · Downtown

Dolan's Pub is a traditional Irish pub at 349 King Street in downtown Fredericton, calling itself "Fredericton's Home of Irish Hospitality." Established in 1994, it has spent three decades as one of the city's reliable spots for live music and pub food. The music is the draw: bands play Thursday through Saturday nights, which reviewers consistently name as the best nights to go, and Trivia Tuesdays run weekly at 7:30pm. On the food side, the fish and chips get repeat recommendations, along with seafood chowder, shepherd's pie, and nachos, and there is a good lineup of local brews on tap. A brunch menu rounds things out. The room is the classic Irish pub formula, warm and a little worn in the right way, with staff that regulars describe as friendly and quick, and a patio for summer afternoons. Note the schedule before you head out: Dolan's is closed Sunday and Monday, opens at 11:30am Tuesday through Saturday, and stays open until 2am on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday when the bands are playing.
