Reader Reviews of O'Brien's
Comfortable place

O'Brien's serves damned good food for a bar; the portions are big, and everything is so crazy good. The bartenders are all very friendly and quick service is all but guaranteed. There's a host of regulars, but it isn't clique-y.

Best little dump

Home from Home for the serious barfly, intelligent and friendly staff, intelligent, if slurring, regulars on the barstools... Rumours traded, knowing looks and eye rolling abound, where everyone seems to be an insider. Avoid the amateurs at the pool table, pull up a stool and get quietly sozzled instead - you're amongst friends...cynical foreigners welcome.. Alex

$2.00 vodka...

Well vodkas are 2 bucks all the time, not just happy hour. But, you really do have to drink 600 of them to feel a buzz. I will go back, maybe there is a different bartender.
