O'Donovans is a great Irish Pub, one of the best Minneapolis has to offer. They have live Irish folk music and/or acoustic musicians every nite that play hits you know and love, with an Irish beat to it. The crowd is mixed, but a little older than the bars further east on 1st Ave; most range from young proffesional to long-time beer conousuer. Everyone is nice and cheerful.
This is the way to drink beer! Although regular price pints are $5, they come in giant 20oz. pints and are filled with the finest brews from worldwide. They also offer a lot of high-quality brands of Irish Whiskey.The food is also quite good. O'donovans has outdoor seating during the summer that is actually quite nice for downtown and allows for great people watching on the weekends, meeting great people on the patio, and drinking like an Irishman. Inside O'Donovans is decorated like a typical Irish bar with old wood decor, quaint lighting, and chill atmosphere. The weekends get a little more wild with some dancing.
