Hennessey's Tavern

The potatoes skins are so delicious. The service is very good. I like their happy hour deals, they offer a great extended happy hour.

12/24: Great happy hour specials, runs 4 to 7 PM. Includes drink specials and eight dollar appetizers. Tends to be a little busy and the staff is super friendly, just a little slow at times because they’re either short staffed or overwhelmed. They do a good job of checking in on you during your stay and really are happy to help make your experience enjoyable. Tuesday is BOGO burger day, any burger on the menu. Thursday is 10 Smashburger day and the portion size is a great value. Recommend the chicken lemongrass potstickers, Korean barbecue boneless wings and pretzel bites. There are various events throughout the week including karaoke, live bands, and other events. My one and only complaint is that it smells like stale beer in there, they really should give the fabric on the booths a good cleaning as well as maybe the carpet. Overall, a great neighborhood spot, consistently solid food and drink offerings, and hospitable customer service. 2023: Stopped by for lunch on a Tuesday. Burgers are BOGO - any burger on the menu. We ordered two burgers and told them we were going to share because they all looked so good. The Irish burger was fantastic and the bun on the pretzel burger was delicious! Don’t forget to get a side or ranch with your fries. When served they brought out each burger on its own plate cut in half with fries. Great play by the kitchen and serving staff. They were kind, friendly, and genuinely appreciated our business. Will be back!

One of our favorite places in Dana Point, for sure the food is great and the service is superb. Sunday night football specials are excellent for sure! Very spacious restaurant with sitting inside and outside, daily specials and live music too. Plenty parking spaces.

Let’s be honest, you go here to drink not eat. And if you do eat here, it’s only bc you’ve thrown a few back and you’re starting to get the munchies. They have a large indoor dining room with a bar but every time I’ve been here it’s rather sedate. The outdoor patio is where it’s at. They have a full bar, TV’s, sports, vibes, and all the goods. We did get nachos which are pretty basic but good. To reiterate, just go for the bar and booze.

Fun spot to come for drinks, live music, and football. The locals that come here are fun and welcoming. Plenty of space to sit down and the patio is cool. Update 1/2: came here with a group of people for lunch and the food is great. Live music again and the same locals who were all cool. Love coming here, there's always space, food great, drinks good, and everyone is awesome.

Jamie is an amazing person behind the bar. She made our stay in Dana Point amazing. This place is amazing! We will make this a regular spot to visit whenever we are here!

A stable amongst the community, Hennessy’s tavern provides city locals with day and night time connections through live music, yummy finger favs, and spirits that lift your spirits. Definitely, a must when in town.
