Donahue's Lounge was an Irish-themed bar and kitchen located on the second story of 6420 N 9th Avenue (the old Royal Package Store and Airport Lounge building). It was owned by David J Donahue, who also owned Donahue's Liquors which was located on the SW corner of 14th Avenue and Gregory Street (the old Down & Under building). It hosted several fashion shows, a Wednesday free buffet, and live entertainment from Wednesday through Saturday nights. The most notable entertainers to perform there were local musicians Harland Williams, and pop/rock band RKX. After more than seven years in business, it closed in the spring of 1998. Owner David Donahue died on November 22, 2011 at 75 years of age.
