It’s been a very challenging year. That’s no secret. Small businesses have taken a dramatic hit, and we’re no different. But it’s times like these that remind us what it is to be human. To level the playing field. ... To lean on each other. To stay connected. To inspire hope. The support we have experienced first hand in our community is awe-inspiring. You had our backs this year, and we couldn’t be more grateful. While we still have a long road ahead of us, know that we are giving our all, day in and day out to ensure the safety of our staff and guests. We will do so as long as it takes. Here’s to building a healthy and strong 2021, full of amazing memories with friends and family.

WE ARE RE-OPENING THIS FRIDAY! We have been working hard to create a safe environment for guests and staff alike, while maintaining the comfortable atmosphere you have come to know and love at Donaleigh’s. We ask that you bear with as we navigate re-opening protocols. It will be a learning curve for everyone! So here’s the plan for opening weekend:... OPENING HOURS We will open at 11am on Friday, Saturday and Sunday this weekend. SEATING/RESERVATIONS Seating will be first-come, first-serve. We will not be taking reservations this weekend. While we will not be allocating dining time-limits, we kindly ask that you not linger too long after your bill has been presented. Please be mindful if there are people waiting, as we will be operating at very limited capacity. TAKEOUT/DELIVERY For those of you who are more comfortable enjoying your pub favourites at home, we are still providing takeout and delivery via Uber Eats and Door Dash! SAFETY PROTOCOLS Per the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit guidelines, we will ensure at least a 2 meter distance between groups. SMDHU requires face coverings to be worn by customers entering the restaurant. Face coverings can be removed once you are seated at your table, but will need to be worn anytime you leave your table (ie-to use of the restroom, exiting the restaurant, etc.) Please be sure to arrive with your own face covering. Staff will be wearing face coverings. We have established heightened cleaning protocols to ensure a safe environment. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU!!! KEEP AN EYE ON OUR SOCIAL MEDIA FOR UPDATES OVER THE WEEKEND. #ilovemypub #donaleighs #pub #irish #irishpub #irishfare #publife #Barrie #downtownbarrie #supportlocal #reopening

Stay tuned for more details on our plans to re-open our dining room this Friday!
