Shawn O'donnell's American Grill And Irish Pub

Fun Irish bar on a perfect summer afternoon. Day drinking, yes. Great service yes!

It's hard to accurately describe the level of community and service O'Donnell Fremont represents. Of the literal hundreds of restaurants and bars I've been to, nowhere has ever made me feel more at home. In specific the barman Johnny lights up the whole place like a beacon. He made a point of introducing himself by name and committed mine to memory on the spot, was friendly and attentive, and also observant of everyone on the level that a good friend would be, making conversation, tending refills or food service, etc etc. Every person I saw pass through the door was addressed by name as well and that really says something about the value put into each person the man saw. Pints of Guinness and other beers poured with the highest degree of care and time, which to a beer enthusiast like myself it makes all the difference in flavor. The place just seems like a slice of home, whether it be the family eating dinner with their toddler as casually as if they had made dinner themselves or the patrons coming for a pint and some of the most delicious shepherds pie (served proper with lamb as opposed to cottage pie with beef) that you'll find anywhere. Everyone had the vibe of belonging and were addressed as such. The only complaint I can possibly muster is that I live 45 minutes away and can't pop in multiple times a week. I suppose that will save my wallet in the long run though.

The fries are fantastic. Mac and cheese is totally worth the calorie splurge. I ordered mine without the meat.Fish chips was highly appreciated. Corn beef and cabbage also a hit and we really loved that bread pudding dessert. Great service. Great music…. Clean bathrooms. Yeah, I’d go back.

Had the best time with live Irish music and amazing service. My meal was fantastic thank you Johnny Irish for putting hospitality back in fashion.

Great happy hour! HH is daily from 3-6pm and will save you a few bucks. We got the pub burger and shepherds pie, both were great! The only con was the cleanliness, we sat next to the window inside and there were quite a few dead bugs in the window. We actually killed a bug that was crawling on the ketchup bottle as well. Next time we will sit elsewhere!
