Doc’s Pub Irish Sports Bar

Circle bar! My favorite! Plenty of TVs, several beers on tap, awesome bartenders, and a pool table, what’s not to like? I was here watching the Flyers getting destroyed by the last place Maple Leafs, almost blowing their spot for the playoffs and it was fun commiserating with all the other fans sitting around the bar. I’m giving it 4 stars because I haven’t tried the food here… yet.

Stopped in for some grub & beer with the wife about 5 pm on a Saturday. Large «u» shaped bar with small tables to the side that are elevated to bar height. Also a separate dining area off to the side. Pool table, jukebox, flat screens all around for a welcome feel. Ordered up some flatbreads that were nice portions and very tasty. Could not finish it all. Beer was cold with a decent selection on tap. Definitely worth a repeat visit in the future.

So glad we stopped in, nice little sports bar with many seating options. Has a nice large U shaped bar, with elevated seating off to the side giving you a connection with the bar, but offers tables for space to enjoy your meal. They also offer a separate dining area that you can bring the family in for a meal. Portions are very generous. Hubby ordered a cheesesteak pinwheel (flat bread), and I ordered the vegetable pinwheel. Both came loaded with fixings and the flavors blended deliciously. They offer a pool table, as well as a gaming TV, and a nice jukebox. Plenty of televisions to see your team playing as well. Lady’s room was very clean which is important to me. It was quite busy when we got there, but bartender was exceptionally friendly while caring for the customers. Only short coming was at one corner of the bar the beer taps are elevated and block your view.

This is not your low life dive you might expect along the railroad tracks in Burlington — this is a highly respected neighborhood watering hole with cold beer, good food and great people. It’s a very friendly place where you can strike up a conversation while watching the many flat screen TV’s. It was packed for Monday night football but not overly rowdy and all had a good time. The crab cakes are great — broiled, not fried — with jumbo lump crab and little filler. Next time you think about fast food stop into Doc’s and take a load off and relax. Say hi to Doc, that silver haired, silver tongued devil and have a 23 oz Guinness!

I will never ever go to this place again just left there five hours ago just went in to have A couple of beers with my son and his girlfriend some guy jumped at my son for no reason and was trying to choke him ppl where trying to stop the guy but he kept lunging at him so my son did the only thing he could and smashed him with the glass and now my son is in trouble for it and the other guy is not I will never go there again and I will spread the word about what happened I absolutely hate this place it sucks and I didn’t even get to taste the food or taste the beer because the guy that attacked my son started the whole fight and it’s pretty funny that the burlington city police told me not to go back to that place cause it’s nothing but trouble

Were there on 6÷5÷15. They had a band playing (Belfast Connection — a trio who were awesome). It was crowded and we got the last table. Husband enjoyed his soup (she crab chowder I think, it was the soup of the day), and I enjoyed my Fish & Chips (the French Onion soup was a little too salty, I couldn’t finish it). A party was there for a gents birthday, and they gave everybody in the place a slice (Happy Birthday!). Very welcoming. (Funny thing is: we only wanted to have take-​out. So when I called them to order (twice) the person who answered could not hear me so they hung up on me. The husband and I made our way there (not too long of a trip) and had a really great night). We’ll try and be there earlier next time to get a good table (with a crew we’ll be bringing).

We came here for a late dinner. Older crowd and had that local bar feel. We had an appetizer sampler, I had a cheesesteak and my friend had a buffalo chicken flatbread. Someone recommended the tater tots (Dont think I saw them on the menu) and they were great. The food was very good and I’ll be back again.

This is a really nice pub, Doc’s is a great place for family and friends and special occasions. Great food and sometimes good live music, too! Wide-​range of tunes on their digital jukebox (which also plays music videos). With 18 beers on tap this is a pretty chill spot to go and have cold one or two. I recommend getting wings while you are there! Some of the best ones around!
Other than that, I think the bartenders could pick it up a little bit, it gets kinda busy in there.

Stopped by while traveling up the NJ Turnpike. Saw this place on Unilocal and figured I’d give it a shot (no pun intended). A bit spooky looking from the outside. But once inside the atmosphere, burger and service were great. A bit rough on the edges but a great find.

Food is okay. Beer is cold staff is fun… really a local crowd, but no one is an asshole so that’s always good. Just kinda out of the way. But cheap, decent spot, always busy. Worth a stop in for a beer.

My group frequents this place for an afternoon lunch. The bartender serves the tables too and is great. They have a decent selection of beers, mostly mainstay brands but usually one or two craft that I can be happy with. And they are inexpensive, Lagunitas IPA for $ 4.50. My bacon/​blue cheese burger was excellent, and they burnt the fries as I requested. The other guys liked their food too. A favorite spot for lunch. Don’t know much about the night crowd.

Great neighborhood Irish Pub. We frequent it often with the kids for dinner, and with groups after the kids soccer games. The burgers, cheesesteaks and French dip are all great, plus they come with hand cut fries. The wings are outstanding, and ask for the Reggie sauce on them. You will not be disappointed. Good selection of beers, and they always have specials.

Great local bar, used to hit this joint back when it was perros den in the 80’s and 90’s. Good service good beers on tap great wings and doc the owner is a good guy

Best local bar hands down. The food also is good and cheap. The wings is the best. The service rocks. Best neighborhood bar

Huge fan of this place. Finally a local Pub with great homemade food!
The Pub burgers are incredible and they come with real homemade fries. I also recommend their buffalo wings. Sweet and spicy are my favorite, they have the Jumbo size hand breaded wings, easily the best in the area. Huge beer/​tap selection too. I’ll be back!

If you want to go, go in the early afternoon hours. Owner seems decent. Place looks ok, but the regulars of this will run you out if you look like you don’t fit.

I used to like this place, but it seems to be attracting a lot of trouble makers. The last couple of times I went there I spent most of time looking over my shoulder. They do have good food and a nice beer selection, if they could change the type of people that have been recently been frequenting there; they would then have a loyal group of patrons that would not cause any trouble. Until then I would stay away from this place.

This is a unique little neighborhood pub in what all it has to offer given it’s location. Tucked in to a street corner in a neighborhood type area, Doc’s offers a solid selection of draft beers, great food menu, some arcade games, an actually decent pool table, jukebox if I remember correctly. but if not, a still great playlist of classic to modern alternative jams. More class and variety than I typically find in a neighborhood spot.
Loved the atmosphere and thought it did a good job actually maintaining an Irish pub-​like feel. Nice décor. Friendly and experienced bartender. A cool mix of style and age in the crowd, making it obvious that it’s truly a classic neighborhood bar — not strictly for young partiers only or just old drinkers. No smoking indoors.
They had a Burlington pool league in that night, and it was refreshing as I walked in with my own sticks to see other players all over the room who had also brought theirs to play some real pool. Met several great local patrons and had a good time chillin and shootin some 8 ball.
I only skipped a star cause I wasn’t hungry enough to really try the food, so I couldn’t really incorporate that here. I did try the calamari though, which was very tasty. A solid four ****‘s it is.
Should I be in this neck of the woods again, I definitely plan to return to Doc’s. Should you already be now, I suggest you check it out.

Some places you go to and they say Irish pub because it’s a catchy phrase. This place is legit.
Beer is cold.
Food is great.
Atmosphere is that plus some.
It’s off the beaten path.
You will thank me for it!

I’m not sure why there are no reviews on this bar in the past two and a half years. Wait, it’s Burlington, but still. Actually, the only reason I decided to stop by and try Doc’s was because of the few positive reviews on here. I usually tire or question all of the endless bars that label themselves «Irish» or «Pub» (and this place has it all in the title) just because they have a harp logo on the wall. But, I must say I was impressed here.
I first noticed the posted chalkboards listing weekly and daily food specials, which were a mix of Irish food and standard bar fare (burgers, wraps, subs, etc). They were also serving $ 3 Smithwick’s, which I happily accepted. After looking through the menu, I kept it simple and ordered the «Chicago» burger with fries. Not just standard fries though… hand cut fries. Both were great!
Aside from the good food, large bar and 18 beers on tap, there was a jukebox playing good music, TVs showing baseball and Buzztime trivia, guys enjoying a game of pool and even Wii golf. Before I left, I stopped by the pinball machines and enjoyed a free game, all ready to go for some reason. I’ll be back, Doc.
