McNamara's Irish Pub & Restaurant
Our verdict
McNamara's Irish Pub & Restaurant is worth choosing when the brief is casual Irish pub food, beer or whiskey, and a lively Donelson room with regular music. At about $35 per person, it works well for families, groups, and relaxed celebrations, but it is not the pick for tasting-menu dining or a quiet business meal.
