O'Donnells is coming to Freiburg-Nord

We are delighted to announce that O'Donnells Irish Pub will open at Waldkircher Straße 1, on the corner by the Rennweg tram stop, in November 2026. It is the third pub from the team behind O'Kellys and Oscar Wilde's, and the first outside the city centre. Named after Sarah's uncle Johnny O'Donnell, an Achill Island man who lived in Cork, it will be a small, cosy free house: independent and not tied to any brewery. This website will grow as the opening gets closer. Opening hours, the drinks list and the opening date itself will all appear here.
