Doobie's isn't a bad bar, it just isn't worthy of the near cult following it has in the GHA. I guess I'm too young to remember when there wasn't much besides Irish dives, and maybe Doobie's stood out then but to my 22 year old eyes it just isn't much.
The service is friendly, affable...and mostly incompetent.
The prices are ok, but there's a lot of bars pretty competitive with Doobie's prices that are nicer.
The menu is pretty limited with strangely pretentious options.
Again, not a bad bar...but within easy walking distance of Bob & Barbs, Tirtone, Sidecar and Grace...4 of the best bars in the city. Needless to say, it's unusual that I make it into Doobie's. Usually all four of those other bars in the area have to be PACKED (not uncommon on the weekends)- although Doobie's itself is often pretty full.
Pros: neighborhood establishment, you'll meet your neighbors
Cons: prices aren't competitive, bad interior, unimpressive food, clueless staff
