When it comes to comfort food, the Midwest knows how to make a crowd happy. Sure, we love our pork tenderloins and Steak de Burgo, but you’ll also find plenty of internationally inspired restaurants and bars across the whole Hawkeye State. Next time you’re looking for an authentic Irish Pub in Iowa, head to Iowa City where you’ll find a legendary watering hole.
If you ask around about the best Irish Pub in Iowa, chances are plenty of people will point you to Donnelly's, in Iowa City.
As you might have heard, their reuben is the best in town. Slow-cooked beef brisket, melted swiss cheese, Thousand Island dressing and sauerkraut combine with marbled rye to make an outrageously tasty sandwich.
If you're looking for some fried comfort food, try an appetizer like mac and cheese bites or jumbo wings. You've got a dozen wing sauces to choose from!
You'll find a variety of delicious dishes on the regular menu, along with creative concoctions on their specials menu. Don't be afraid to try something different each time you visit!
