Donahue's Lounge was an Irish-themed 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, several fashion shows, and more.

The most notable entertainers to perform there were local musicians Harland Williams, pop/rock band RKX, and Joe Occhipinti. 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.
