Donahue's Lounge was an Irish-themed sports bar and kitchen located on the second story of 6420 N 9th Avenue in the former Royal Package Store, Top Side aka Airport Lounge building. Opening in the Autumn of 1990, it was owned by David J Donahue, who also owned Donahue's Liquors located on the SW corner of 14th Avenue and Gregory Street in the former Down & Under building.

Managed by Richard Sarli, Donahue's hosted live musical entertainment from Wednesday through Saturday nights, a free Wednesday buffet, Monday night football, several fashion shows, and more.

The most notable entertainers to perform there were solo musicians Richard Gilewitz and Harland Williams, pop/rock bands RKX and Coupe DeVille, and Joe Occhipinti's brass band featuring Holly Shelton.

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.
