Devaney’s Sports Pub

Went there for trivia night. Need to have more beer specials. Otherwise a fun place. Got the nachos that were pretty good, but didn’t have enough toppings. Fun area and wasn’t filled up with annoying college students like we thought it would be. I’d go again

Staff was super friendly and although the waitress didn’t know what meat was in the southwestern eggrolls at first she did find out, and told me it was chicken. I ordered a salad, cheese sticks and a burger for the boys. Cheese sticks came out hot and fresh, salad was good with homemade croutons. Burger was cooked to order (well done) and came with potato chips. All in all would return

Great Local Bar! The staff is awesome and they keep the drinks flowing! Morning After burger is the best thing ever!

This is my boyfriend favorite bar! He knows like everyone! I love going on the nights they play Dirt Bingo! The food is great and the drinks are nice and strong! Just the way I like it!

Drinks are dirt cheap. They have some games and play sports on the tvs. Great place to watch football. The drinks being so cheap seems to attract a low quality crowd so be prepared for that when you come, especially if you’re a female.

If you’re looking for busty blonde bartenders look elsewhere. Dev’s has that divey feel with top notch servers, selection, specials, and weekly events. This Irish pub has quality bar food (try the homemade chips) along with an event almost every night (karaōke, dirty bingo, trivia). During the day is a dark bar with the elders. Night comes alive, if you’re a regular. As a bar review, A+ on service, A on food, C– on atmosphere and crowd. I give them 5 stars because I’ve lived in the area, and you can count on them to fulfill your needs. Over time, they’ve become my favorite I call home. Hmmmmhmm I love this bar!

I enjoy Devaney’s every time I go. I neither love it or hate it but it’s always pleasant. The bar draws an older crowd that hasn’t quite moved on from the parties of their twenties. The bartenders are fast and accommodating. I also like their wings.

Great selection of beers (bottled).good bar food

I went to Devaney’s for the first time. I’ve heard mixed things about the place, I had a friend who raved about it, than I heard poor things from other people. So I went with that friend (& with some others & my girlfriend). At first I didn’t like the place, it reeked of cigarette smoke, (which was a major no for me, because I don’t smoke or even like the smell). The presentation was very nice, had a lot of t. v’s, playing sports on those t. v’s too, a lot of Miami dolphin jerseys (which must mean the owner is a dolphin fan). Defiantly a good atmosphere for sports fans. Plus we went on karaōke night, which made the trip a lot more fun.
The service was nice, I have nothing bad to say about that. The beer selection was very good, I actually had trouble on which beer I should select. The prices were good, not to expensive. However, the food I was not very fond of. I ordered 10 wings, which were okay. Then I ordered the loaded potato skins which were not good at all. They had a weird smell and after taste.
Overall, the place was average, not great but not bad either. This place defiantly won’t be my go to place, but I’ll have to try it again.

First time there today. I went to watch part of the USA/​Canada hockey game. It wasn’t busy, but I just sat at the bar. Probably my fault for sitting there.
The bartender came over (I’ll leave her name out because she was nice other than the following incident) and asked me what I wanted. I was sitting right in front of a row of taps, and asked her about one of the beers. She offered a taste, which I accepted.
When she pulled the tap handle, she had the taster glass held in such a way that it cause it to shoot the beer right back at me, pretty well wetting my head, and my iPhone. She apologized, and I mopped up with bar napkins.
I ordered food which was very good, actually, and then got the check. No offer to buy my beer or discount anything. She said she hoped she’d see me back there. I told her that I worked in the bar industry and that would have never flown in my bar. If you spill on a customer, you buy them a drink. Or their meal. Something. It’s not like I spilled and caused the distress. I’ve even comped drinks for people that have done that. But if I’d ever done, or seen someone do, the same thing, it would have been immediately rectified.
No more trips to Devaneys. I don’t care for Friendly Confines, but I’ll take it over bad service.

I came in to meet up a friend of mine. He was talking Devaney’s so much and I did not believe him. My memories of Devaney’s when I was drinking underage over 10 years ago at the one Devaney’s college bar in East Orlando.
When I walked in, I grabbed a table. Sat down and was greeted by a server. Not too friendly… I felt more of a hassle. Once my friends came in (who are regulars there, know the staff, and managers), they were greeted immediately and the staff knew exactly what they were ordering. I thought it was cool until they took my boyfriend and my order for food. I felt like a side note of someone the server needed to attend to. Full of enthusiasm for my friend, and I was the hassle.
I had ordered a couple «French toast» shots. The menu under Saturday said «2−4−1 shots» so I got excited. There was no disclaimer, no specific shots to choose from, nothing. Once we got the shots, it was presented with the server lighting them on fire, sprinkling cinnamon on them to make it sparkle like sparklers, and blew them out. Pretty neat. Once I actually consumed it, it was delicioussss.
Ordered and ate the appetizer sampler which consisted of potato skins, mozzarella sticks, southwest egg rolls, and chicken fingers. It was all OK. Very fried, but wasn’t the best.
Once I got my bill, it was $ 63. WHATTT!!! They charged me $ 7 each for three shots?! When I asked about it, the 2−4−1 shots were specific ones they had for that special. What a load of crap. It didn’t say that in the menu. I guess it sounded too good to be true. I say, false advertisement! It was $ 8 per Yuegling pitcher which is pricey too for a college bar.
.I’d rather spend my $ 73 on some place nice. Like the Ravenous Pig or Cask & Lader. Not a crappy college bar, with subpar serving.
Not. Happy. I was complaining all way home. I KNEW IT WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUEEEEE. Later that night, I puked because the mass amount of fried food rumbling in my tummy. My boyfriend was nauseous during the night as well.

Here we have your typical sports bar; Beer, Booze, Tv’s. It is super run of the mill and obviously survives on neighborhood regulars. There is a mixture of grandma’s and grandpa’s by day and I hear rappers and drugs dealers by night. There are far better sports bars in Orlando. There is nothing impressive about this place at all.

Pros:
–Liquor
–Craft beer selection
–Big screen tv’s
–Hardworking and personable bartenders
Cons:
— Run of the mill sports bar and I mean very run of the mill.
–Fluorescent lighting.
–Patronage has took a nose dive and there are no concerns over the quality. (gangsters, drug dealers, and full sail wanna be’s).
I went to Devayneys often when I was in college 4 years ago and it’s a far cry from the young hip crowd that used to hang there. If you know of somewhere else better to go… don’t hesitate and do it.

Devaney’s hasn’t been up to par in the past few years, but having new owners have really pushed the place into one of my favorite spots to visit and is becoming increasingly popular. I enjoy the new menu and the new TV’s that they finally installed to catch up with the rest of the world. The staff is friendly and the service is better. Everything is very affordable and the beer selection is more than adequate. Come find out for yourself!!!

Honestly, this is the kind of place it’s a bit hard to get impressed over.
It’s my understanding they’ve changed owners, so a lot of stuff may still be in transition. I can only speak to my experience.
We went up for Trivia night. The place is decorated in sports gear, and the walls are covered with TVs playing sports, as well as jerseys in plastic bags for sale, which seems a bit weird. Kind of felt a bit like I was in a laundromat with all the clothes in plastic bags hanging everywhere. There’s a spot in back where I guess there used to be video games, but now is completely empty. It’s a large chunk of their space, with no tables, no chairs, no pool tables, no video games, just a big empty space. Not sure what to make of that.
The trivia night was an Earth trivia night. I’m a fan. It was hosted by Dirty Di. I’m NOT a fan. She’s got a filthy mouth, a self-​aggrandizing attitude and she’s completely narcissistic, and her PA system sucks and hurts your ears.
I didn’t try the food, so I won’t comment. The beer selection is mediocre at best. This is a place where most people order a pitcher of beer for themselves, not a pint. When the pitchers of «domestics» are $ 3.75 I guess that makes sense. I like beer with flavor that isn’t served in a plastic tub. The mixed drinks are pretty strong, and the shots are about half of a tall-​boy glass, so you can definitely get your drink on here for cheap.
I guess the place is what it is. It’s a sports bar that caters to a lot of Full Sail and UCF students (it’s roughly between them on University) with thin wallets and a taste for cheap drinks.
FYI, they are now full smoking, after 9pm. Before that they’re non-​smoking. At least that’s what I was told.
Not really my thing, but I do see the appeal for their target audience.

More of a Dive bar than sports pub. Targeted towards the college crowd, the beer and drink specials can’t be beat. Karaōke, trivia, beer pong, video games and more TVs than Best Buy keep crowds occupied. My only complaint is the heavy smoke.

For what it is, this place is good. It’s very chill. Very low-​key. Simple little neighborhood bar with cheap drinks and good service. It’s what you would expect it to be when you walk in. I always encountered some fun and interesting characters. Good times, good times.

Devaney’s is a bar with character. It has an identity, it doesn’t apologize for it, and it sticks with it. It’s a relatively relaxed bar with karaōke on select nights, offering an eclectic mix of people: from college students to working class folk and even the occasional senior.
It’s eclectic mix could be due to the fact that it serves people on several levels: the booze are cheap, the entertainment factor is there, the bar food is decent, and the employees are fairly easy-​going and friendly. On a weekend night, expect this original Devaney’s to be more packed than the Devaney’s II a few doors down. I personally enjoy week nights at this place more than weekends because it’s not as crazy in there.

Devaney’s is a pub geared mainly to the college student with cheap drinks, a laid back atmosphere and plenty of room to hang, dance or goof off. This place has been for a long time and will probably be around for years or even decades to come because college kids keep flocking to it for their week night hang out, greek socials or simply to unwind and grab a drink not only because it’s cheap but also because it’s so close to campus… just a cab ride away for most.
The décor, inside and outside, is typical of most bars with wooden tables and chairs, pool tables, dart boards and a full service bar. There is clearly nothing posh, upscale or modern about this place. However, I will say it does have character and most students who attend UCF have a funny story about something that happened here. Everyone who’s anyone know about Devaney’s and has been there at least a dozen times.
They offer different drink specials most nights of the week and even have karaōke to indulge in and make a fool of yourself when you’re nice and toasted. Most of the people who work here are also college students trying to get buy… which usually means they’re more concerned about catering to those they know or think are hot than those who are waiting for a drink. This can get very frustrating, but the only to deal with it is leave and never come back. Personally, I’m beyond the age of going to dive bars to get wasted, which is why you won’t find me here. However, in my early college years all you had to do was the say the words.

Always one of my regular places on rotation during college.
Cheap drinks=Good time… well as long as someone doesn’t give me the mic during karaōke.
