Do you like great food made-from-scratch? Do you like natural flavorful food, sauces and dressings made fresh each day? Do you like a place to eat where the service is great and the atmosphere is friendly and fun-filled? Do you like unique (Irish) recipes that are a guarded family secret? Do you like "slow smoked southern style" BBQ?

If you answer yes to any one or more of the above questions, then O'Doherty's Irish Pub & BBQ Cater Co. is the place to go for great food, drink and fun.

The owners, Terry and Renee Best, have worked hard to provide you the best dining and beverage experience at their newly remodeled restaurant located in the heart of the Spokane Valley.

Their Irish stew is made from a "closely guarded" family recipe. The flavor is unique and tasty. Their corn bread is "sweet and moist." The Guinness beer battered fish and chips is "to die for." The batter is light and flavorful, not heavy like other fish & chips you get at other establishments. (Their tartar sauce is also homemade).

A great dish is their Smoke pulled pork. This meat is "slow-cooked" for up to 12 hours in their apple-wood BBQ pit. The pork is cooked to perfection and so tender that it can easily be pulled off the bone. It comes served with their home-made BBQ sauce.

Their famous Irish corned beef and cabbage is absolutely delicious. The meat is slow-cooked, has no visible fat, is tender and full of flavor. Also, try out their smoked turkey and chicken caesar salad with, of course, their home-made Caesar dressing.

If you like Root Beer, they have a special blend that is smooth and creamy. You can't buy it in the store. They also have Guinness Beer and a full-service pub.

On Wednesday nights, (6:30-8:30 p.m.) they have live Irish and Scottish music provided by a new Celtic band called Thistle 'n Thyme.

The next time you are hungry and want some good food and drink, come on down to O'Doherty's Irish Pub & BBQ Cater Co.

O'Doherty's, an Irish Pub in the Spokane Valley, is locally owned and operated by Terry and Renee Best (former founding partners in O'Doherty's downtown Spokane).

Since taking over the Valley location last May, we have worked at creating a clean and fun atmosphere. The establishment includes a non-smoking area-"The Celtic Room" as well as the full-service Pub and live Celtic music can be enjoyed from 6:30 - 8:30pm every Wednesday evening.

The menu offers an excellent variety including traditional Irish-American food, one of the best steaks in town-the Tullamore Dew Whiskey Steak and a wonderful variety of burgers, sandwiches, salads and appetizers.

Exclusively on Sundays from 4-8pm, we offer an excellent Prime Rib special. Our BBQ meats are authentic southern-style slow-smoked over Apple Wood-right on premise. We also slow-smoke Ham, Turkey, Sausage and St. Louis Spare Ribs. Beef brisket is offered on occasion.

O'Doherty's is enjoying success in its Catering Division. The BBQ is excellent for most events such as company picnics, meetings, receptions, graduation parties, etc. However, we are willing to cater some of our other offerings as well. Anyone interested in having us cater can request catering information by calling 924-2578 or Terry's cell 220-3037.
