    The bah.
    James H.

    I was unaware this option existed in the few previous times I went into this Whole Foods store. In all fairness, shopping at this Whole Foods is a lot like every experience driving in New England. Mostly rude affluent jerks expecting you to stop and let them through because their time is infinitely more important than yours. When you enter this restaurant, if that's what it is, there's no greeting or acknowledgement. There were menus on the table that included all the food items and wine and bottled beer options. Not on the menu was the variety. Of draft beer selections and there many. So my wife and I awkwardly sat at the bench table long enough to figure out no waiter or waitress was coming to take our order. I finally went to the bar and ordered drinks. Getting a draft beer was easy, getting iced tea for my bride was a bit tricker. Ordered the food a short time later. We both ordered Bartlett burgers, which were okay. Just okay. They could do a better job with their social game but the day staff is run by millennials - I'm deliberately criticizing their social incompetence. They are leaving quite a bit of money on the table.

    Burnt toast on the "avocado toast." The second piece looked worse.

    The idea of this place is great, the execution falls short. My biggest beefs were: 1. Lack of signage 2. Long wait for food 3. Errors in food we received This place is located inside the Whole Foods Market (literally, you have to go into the super market first, the door to J. Bartlett's is on the left). There isn't a sign for it outside or anything so if you're looking for it but don't realize it's associated with the Whole Foods, you might miss it. We stopped by for a late lunch on a Tuesday. There were 4 or 5 people at the bar counter. Decent selection of beers on tap although a very heavy IPA listing with only a few other options outside that. I was excited about the menu which, although small, does offer some variety between the traditional fare (burger, pizza) and some healthier options (salads, avocado toast). The waitress was friendly and the mistakes in our food were no fault of hers, since she entered the order correctly. We ordered a bacon cheeseburger and the avocado toast. The burger came with no bacon and my avocado toast came as a burger. This alone took almost 40 min, which seems unacceptable given it wasn't busy and this is presumably set up to be a "quick lunch spot" option. Finally got my avocado toast and was disappointed to have it served on nearly burnt toast. It was so tasteless and crunchy it felt like biting into...crunchy plywood? (The photo is of the 2nd piece of toast, only partially charred, the first was worst!) The sweet potato waffle fries could have been fun and tasty but again, also overcooked and nearly burnt. The burger was messy, but tasty. However, the bun it came on was oddly outsized--leaving about half an inch of bread overhanging the entire thing. Cook a bigger patty or get a smaller bun, maybe? Overall, disappointing and not worth the wait. Would expect better from a place presumably under the auspices of Whole Foods.i

    Small menu but great for a lunch and fantastic beer

    Adorable place that is out of the way and not packed with people. Couches, bar and tables to sit at. Limited menu but the local beers are king here. Bring the kids in to play Jenga and have some chips and guacamole Bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable about the beers. Great place to drop the husband to watch the game on a huge tv while getting the grocery shopping done.

    We returned. Better, larger menu. Still only 2 overworked servers. Still a great beer selection. Great pizza too. Fresh ingredients. Thin chewy crust. Still waiting for this place to come to our Rhode Island Whole Foods! We will return

    Comfy couches for a seat at the bar or one if the few tables... Wait, what's that beyond the doors? Whole foods?!?! Yep!

    J Bartletts would have gotten 5 stars if it was larger. The bar, which is inside of the Whole Foods, is small but very homey. I had the delicious Shirley temples and my husband a variety of their beers. Their Garlic knots were a steal and super tasty! We shared a build your own pizza with mozzarella, prosciutto, and fresh basil. The large 18" pie was a great value and super tasty. The service was a little slow, 2 people behind the bar and it looked like 1 guy in the kitchen, because they were super busy for the size of the bar. Eliza was friendly and attentive. We will certainly be returning sometime soon!

    Stopping for a quick one while food shopping. Once again, genius.

    Best on tap beer selection in Nashua. The service is sometimes a little less than stellar. I get the feeling bartending at wholefoods isn't all it's cracked up to be. Oh well. Good beer, great pizza. What more could you want.

    See all

    Not a public house. Just a Whole Foods pizza dispensary with beer. If you go down the street there are other restaurants.

Definitely a surprise to the regular clientele. Look for the roadside sign into their large parking lot. The building is set way back. Signs every where instruct patrons. A large over head sign lets you know to "order here." No waitress service. Belly up to the bar and place food and drink orders with the bartender. A sign at the bar instructs "order, pay, move outta the way!" I just love this. Signs on the tables instruct "Do not drag tables". however, you can pick them up and move them. Just don't drag them. For our crowd, we did have to move a couple tables and chairs. There is a jukebox on one wall and I must say the clientele have excellent musical taste. This is absolutely my kind of bar. We had some fun conversations with locals. The bartender was friendly and efficient. All together an enjoyable visit. Besides soft drinks, bottled beers and a full bar, the food menu is pretty extensive. Apps, sandwiches, salad, entrees. With live music, pool table and darts this is a good neighborhood bar.

Walking in 7 minutes after opening, this place was already packed. Full of Patriots fans hooping and hollering to the end of the fourth quarter. Every appeared in a merry mood, and everyone knew each other it seems. Service here was great. Our waitress whipped around the room with finesse and speed, working the bar and tables all by herself. She was to the point but pleasant. The beers are ok, but they aren't anything spectacular. An average selection of nearby beers of all varieties. Going to other breweries in New Hampshire, I know that this state can produce good beers. Perhaps they just had a mediocre selection the week I was there. We ordered a medley of items and most of it was hit and miss. In the sampler, the pork cracklings were decent, although dinner pieces were hard to chew since they turned into a dense fried bit. The fries were ok, but standard. The tator tot was actual pretty good, but there's this sweetness and texture that makes me think of pumpkin? That could be upsetting to some. The chicken tenders are ok, but the breading isn't seasoned or exciting in texture. It felt like how I would fry chicken at home with only one coat of breading. The pickle chips were good, even though they were not spicy at all. If they called these paprika coated chips, then I would agree. But texture wise, they were actually crisp and not super watery. The pulled pork tacos are ok, but they rely more on sweet barbeque sauce more than anything else. The tortillas are subpar in flavor, but sturdy enough to hold everything together. The veggies slaw did add some nice acidity though. The wedge salad here is terrible. I should have looked up what others posted before I ordered it. It was a literal wedge of plain iceberg, with all the other ingredients and fixings dumped in the middle. The stuff in the middle was ok, but nothing felt harmonious. Just a bunch of salad ingredients added to a giant paper tray. It felt like a waste of 9 dollars for what was lazy preparation.

    Imagine you're at home on a rainy Wednesday evening. The clouds are bleak like your mood, so you…read moredon't really feel like cooking. You insouciantly scroll through your Yelp feed, not particularly sure what you have an appetite for because making decisions is about as difficult as adulting. This, ladies and gentlemen, is my wife to a T. Although, she highlighted this place to me and I was instantly hooked - so, I can't complain too much. Now, it isn't clear to us how long this place has been in our midst. But judging from the lack of photos, I'm willing to bet that it's either not yet well known enough or it's a fairly new place. In any case, O'Brien's Sports Bar deserves far more recognition than it's getting at the time of me reviewing this. I've been to plenty of Irish pubs. Some good, some rather meh. I've only tried one meal so far. But based on that, plus the copious menu selection, I can already tell you O'Brien's is possibly the best Irish pub I've tried food from in a long while. I was quite disappointed when they permanently closed down Waxy O'Connor's in Lexington. But I believe O'Brien's will be a more than suitable replacement to satisfy my yearning for Irish cuisine. So, as the intro infers, we ordered take-away via DoorDash, of all things. Which implores me to bring up this caveat: there's a vast difference between ordering from DoorDash versus what's actually available on the O'Brien's menu via their website. Basically, DoorDash represents a severely gutted version of their menu, in my opinion. Certain items, you just can't order from DoorDash...for SOME reason. A few examples include: the seafood chowder, chicken marsala, and pretty much any burger that's more complex than your traditional cheese burger. Not really a ding against the restaurant itself. I'm just ranting here to state that I really hate DoorDash sometimes. They're as overpriced as they are underequipped. /endrant Anywho, I kept things simple this evening and tried the fish n' chips. Upfront, I gotta tell ya....they give you a shitload of fish! Like...at least 10 to 12 ounces (or 6 huge nuggets), if I had to guess. And whilst the fish itself was delicious and meaty, the batter could have benefited from some type of seasoning. Let's just say...this is the type of fish that requires tartar sauce. Oh, speaking of which.. I didn't get any tartar sauce with my order. No idea why. But it's a good thing we always keep some at the house (and it's the fancy kind, too). Now, their chips are like nothing I've ever seen. The best way I could describe them is....well seasoned boomerang fries. Hey, I don't care WHAT shape they are, so long as they're tasty as hell! Overall, the dish gets an 8 out of 10, despite them forgetting the tartar sauce. We've already decided we'll dine in at this place apropos for a date night. I mean, based on our DoorDash experience, it seems clear to us this will be the only way to experience their complete menu. And I've already got my eyes on the aforementioned chowder, chicken marsala, and/or one of their delicious looking burgers. And then maybe, just MAYBE...we can get some more photos onto their page already. I have a feeling this rating may get adjusted upon revisit. But for now, I'm giving O'Brien's Sports Bar 4 gigantic fish nuggets with tasty boomerang fries out of 5.

The Brussels Sprouts and Lemon Caper Risotto that came with the salmon was just as exceptional as the salmon, and the street corn and real mashed potatoes that came with my wife's steak tips were also delicious, and of course the steak tips are always good! We have both been talking about our meals since we left the restaurant, both meals were excellent, and the best we have ever had, not that their other meals aren't good, but these 2 plates were top notch. We also enjoyed the Arronchini Balls, would recommend them as an appetizer as well. We love O'Brien's Sports Bar, it is one of our favorite places in downtown Nashua!
