Doherty's Irish Pub & Restaurant

About Us

Some restaurants open to fill a gap in the market. Doherty's Irish Pub & Restaurant opened because of friendship. Since 2012, this Holly Springs institution has built something rarer than a good menu: a genuine community, rooted in mentorship and the kind of warmth that makes strangers feel like regulars by the end of their first pint.

Every dish starts from scratch. Meats are hand-cut in-house, and the kitchen treats each plate as a reason to show off rather than a transaction to complete. Customers come back again and again, and a 4.6-star rating across more than a hundred reviews tells you the kitchen delivers on that promise consistently, not just on a good night.

The atmosphere does its part too. Think dark wood, good noise, and a staff that actually enjoys showing up to work. Pub trivia, live Irish music, and events like Dungeons & Draughts give regulars a reason to plant themselves here on any given weeknight. Serving the Triangle from Apex to Cary to Pittsboro, Doherty's is the kind of place that earns a spot on your personal map of the area.

What We Offer

Doherty's is built for every occasion, from a Tuesday lunch to a Saturday night out. The full Irish pub and restaurant menu is available seven days a week, with Sunday brunch kicking off at 9:00 AM. Online ordering and reservations make it easy to plan ahead, and catering brings the scratch-made kitchen to your event.

The event calendar keeps the pub lively all week long. Catch live Irish music on select nights, test your knowledge at pub trivia, mark your bingo card, or gather a party for Dungeons & Draughts. Gift cards and branded merchandise are also available, so you can share a little bit of Doherty's with someone who hasn't discovered it yet.

Why Choose Us

Serving the Triangle with scratch-made food and hand-cut meats since 2012, more than a decade of earned loyalty.

A 4.6-star rating from over 113 guests reflects a kitchen that performs night after night, not just on special occasions.

Live Irish music, pub trivia, bar bingo, and Dungeons & Draughts mean there's always a reason to come back this week.

Catering and reservations available, so Doherty's can be part of your next big event, not just your next night out.

Open seven days a week, including Sunday brunch starting at 9:00 AM, because the weekend should start with a proper meal.

Rooted in friendship and community from day one, this is a pub that genuinely knows the difference between customers and regulars.

"We checked out the location in Holly Springs recently. We were so very pleased with our meal. I ordered the glazed salmon and must say it was absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked and beautifully plated. We plan on going back as soon as possible and trying something else to enjoy. My husband ordered the bangers and mash and was equally happy with his meal."
