O'Donoghue's

O'Donoghue's is a small Irish-style public house in Brunswick, Maine, run as a friendly neighborhood spot where everyone is welcome. Its calendar revolves around music and games, with an acoustic set on Friday nights, a band on Saturdays and an open mic on Sunday afternoons. Locals sometimes call it the Cheers of Brunswick, a place to meet up with friends or make new ones.

Weeknights have their own routines, with pool on Tuesdays, cornhole on Wednesdays and karaoke on Thursdays, all starting at 6 p.m. Sunday's open mic runs from 3 to 7, and the Saturday band plays a late set, so those are the nights to plan around. The pub sits in downtown Brunswick and is a easy stop for a drink and a game.
