I'm not much of a beer drinker and wanted something that tasted good, not something that'll just get me drunk since I wanted to be functional. The bartender was really helpful and made a recommendation that helped my decision. I was here to watch some soccer. I was constantly being checked on by staff. They were very pleasant. I didn't know this spot had food until I was on my way out. I have to try the food next time! read more

WORLD CUP LUNCH: PAID TOO MUCH FOR LITTLE FOOD After watching US defeat Australia at San Pedro Square Market I decided to come to O'Flaherty's Irish Pub for beer and food prior to the Morocco-Scotland game. Seeing the Scottish drinking Boston dry I wish Scotland had played some of their games at Levi's Stadium. The closest thing to experience the Scottish atmosphere was this Irish pub. I was disappointed when I looked at the food menu and did not list corned beef tacos as stated on the website. Also the food menu listed only five items. I ordered fries and chicken wings. For beer I selected Smithwick's Irish Red Ale. The beer was refreshing however I paid too much for the price of food given the portion provided. The fries were crispy but paying for a basket of fries for $10 I expected the portion to be bigger. I will say the chicken wings were slightly crispy on the outside but most of all juicy inside. My pet peeve is when fried chicken wings are dry. Yet I paid over $18 for chicken wings. I thought I would get a dozen of wings; I only got five wings. For $18 I could have gone the deli section at the grocery store to get eight or ten pieces of fried chicken. Overall the Smithwick's was soothing but given the prices of food especially during a World Cup watch party there should have been more items listed on the food menu. read more

If you're looking for an affordable spot to hangout with friends in downtown SJ, just stop by O'Flaherty's Irish Pub during their happy hour (Monday - Friday, 4-7 PM) We ordered the Irish fries, coconut shrimp, and chicken wings, and two different types of beer. I can't remember the name of the beer I had, but it was surprisingly good, smooth, flavorful, and very buttery. The coconut shrimp was probably my most favorite dish and definitely something I'd order again and again (but food wait time can be long especially during the busy happy hours). The wings and fries were good as well. The pub is located in San Pedro Square, next to plenty of other bars and restaurants nearby so you can also have a matcha run or eat something later. Overall, a lively spot, I'd happily come back for another happy hour. read more

Stopped by O'Flaherty's Irish Pub to check out the St. Patricks weekend on Sunday, walked in, and there were a few patrons already enjoying some nice green beer, we had a seat at the bar and looked over the menu. I had a Hennessy Mule while my partner had a beer. I also looked at the food menu and decided to grab some wings and fries to soak up the alcohol. The beverages came out quickly as expected, and the food came out shortly after, with great service. The drinks were great, but what killed it was the Cajun-style dipping sauce for the wings. Wow, delicious! I couldn't help dipping the fries and wings in it and was going to ask more, but I was getting full since I already had a small lunch. read more

Every time have come to this karaoke bar I've always been greeted by security and bartender seem to really like their job. From what I've seen, all the bartenders also sing so I'm glad they all have musical talents as well! Service is fast and quick, and I like the assortment of different beers on top. Especially like the cider beers they offer since those aren't as popular in other breweries. The DJ for the karaoke night, Anthony is great, he is very personable easy to help out with songs and has a great singing voice as well! Lol Since this is in the middle of downtown, sometimes things become questionable but security is always on their a game so I felt safe coming here as a single woman meeting up with friends.

Ambience! Food could have been better. Beer was good. Entry charge was unnecessary since we paid for many drinks and finger food

A little disappointed. Came in from out of town and found this bar on Yelp, it was walking distance from my hotel. 1st impression, nice ambiance, but No seats at the bar:-/. Beer was served in a plastic cup, cool if I'm 21, but I've been doing this for 30yrs, so No. Received my bill for 2 Blk & Tans ..$28 w/tax..wow. Left disappointed. read more

Good pour of Guinness, but didn't honor the HH pricing on a Thurs after 9pm (no SAP events that day). Also didn't have live band earlier that day that they said would have, but good spot to hang with a group. Classic Irish pub. read more

I like this place because of their wide beer selection. They had a seasonal pumpkin Hazy during Halloween! Super fun. It can get crowded but can be fun on the weekend. Drinks: 10/10 Ambience: 8/10 read more

It was date night and we decided to visit the different lounges and establishments that were in the San Pedro neighborhood. Stopped in a few to get some drinks. O'Flaherty's Irish Pub was packed and everyone seemed to be enjoying the ambiance and their drinks. The music was loud and the bar was crowded. Managed to get the bartender's attention and ordered a Lemon Drop. Presentation was ok nothing special but the taste was really good and nicely served with the sugar rim. read more

Do not come here. Corporate greed at it's finest. We were visiting from out of town, had dinner at a different establishment and got our leftovers to go. On the way back to our hotel we wanted to stop and BUY cocktails at a fun bar..... This was not it. They wouldn't let us in with our to go bag that was sealed. We were told we'd have to finish our leftovers or throw them out. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

If you're looking for a Guinness on tap this is the spot! They have a bunch of other great options that I will be trying as I am keeping this booked marked as a gem in San Pedro. I love how it feels like an Irish pub and that it's easy to grab a seat even when it's still busy. I've been here during Christmas when they decorated and it is always so busy even not during the holidays. I heard the curry fries are good here so I definitely want to try it soon! read more

I had a disappointing experience here. After being served, the waitress actually came back to our table to complain that we hadn't tipped on our bill of some drinks after giving the bare minimum of service., Ive worked food service for several years and i would personally never do that to a guest its pretty embarrassing to practically beg for a tip. incredibly unprofessional and made the entire interaction uncomfortable. What's even more frustrating is that we did leave a cash tip and not only was the accusation misplaced, but it also highlights how messy and awkward tipping culture has become. Customers shouldn't be guilted or confronted in this way, especially when gratuity is supposed to be voluntary. This kind of behavior takes away from the atmosphere of enjoying a night out. Management really needs to address staff professionalism and rethink how tips are handled, because no one should be made to feel called out after paying their bill. read more

Love downtown and have always had a good time here, but today the bartender the bald guy with the beard was extremely rude from the moment we arrived. He seemed annoyed the entire time and even complained when we wanted to order another beer. It really changed the experience for us, which was disappointing because we've always enjoyed coming here. read more

Absolutely absurd that they charge 20+ dollars to go into that venue just to get a drink and go to use the restroom. During the World Cup, they still are making money during those times so why are you charging a cover to get in to buy drinks and use the restroom absolutely insane. Will never trust them moving forward. read more

Great ambiance and excellent, knowledgeable bartenders. Highly recommend this spot if you're in San Pedro Square!

I was in town for Super Bowl week and found this place on the internet, Their website said they were open 365 days a year - perfect. We took a $40+ Uber ride in evening rush hour traffic only to find them closed - WTF!! read more

bit confusing bc you walk in & nobody looks at you or tells you where to sit - but then again I guess this is legit just a bar style thing? anyways ended up sitting at the actual bar & were handed menus afterwards all the TVs were playing the golf thing & I was bored but I suppose that's what everyone wanted to watch haha got three beers - some beers only come inpre-set pour sizes so that was interesting fish & chips were a little heavy on the breading they ran out of ribs? so I got Irish fries - was basically just fries w some sauce on top read more

Ah, such a delight! One of my favorite places near San Pedro square to have a pint and do some people watching. Live music is available some nights and quiz night is always fun. Fantastic service too. Bartenders are superb and usually quite busy. Overall, a great vibe. I prefer the slower nights where the crowd is a bit less to allow myself time to meditate on my pint. There are TVs for live sports, which is always fun. read more

Great service, typical ambiance, good beer selection, good vibes, but three shortcomings: (1) can't believe they shut down the kitchen before 10:30 after a Sharks game! Dumb. Easy revenue (2) weak LIT, could not taste alcohol. (3) I CANNOT BELIEVE that an IRISH Pub CANNOT SERVE a proper BLACK & TAN !!!! They served it blended!! OMG no layer! What a letdown! Posers! Do I need to show you how to use a spoon! read more

Came after a Shark's game and it was such a fun way to end the evening! Staff was really friendly and accommodated my big group. They fit a lot of seats in their modest patio and the self serve water means you don't need to flag staff down as often. Cocktails are reasonably priced even at non-happy hour prices, and the Hummingbird (vodka, lime, and pomegranate liquor) was delicious: bright and not too sweet with a hint of tartness. read more

I thought this place was great. We drove up for a soccer game and met our supporters group at this pub for pregame drinks and fun. There were a ton of us at this location and everything seemed to run smoothly. Our server definitely had to hustle, but she kept up with our drinks and food orders, she really was great. I tried a few different spots, yellow, red and green (maybe blue)....hey we were on vacation, so it seems like the right thing to do LOL. We ordered the coconut shrimp and those things were goooooood. Super crispy, freshly fried and the sweet chili sauce was perfect. Prices were decent, drinks were poured well, friendly service....we had a great time. read more

It's downtown. It's an Irish pub. They have an awesome beer selection. And they have happy hour! What's not to love about all of that! TVs are spread throughout so you can catch whatever sports your into. Service was great, prices were great, food was great. Has an old pub feel to it with the decor. Next time I'm back in town I'm definitely stopping off here for a pint or three. It does get quite loud and busy as the evening progresses so be prepared if you're coming here to have a productive chat with friends. read more

Had a great experience at O'Flaherty's. Great vibes and reasonably priced drinks. The bartender Tom was excellent and friendly.

First of all, the waitress that took care of us on a Friday night was wonderful! She was very friendly, charismatic, and checked up on us a couple times. The food took a while to get to us. Maybe 30 minutes or so, however it was a Friday night and the place was pretty full. The food was good ol' delicious pub food that we scarfed down. They also had live music playing so that was nice! read more

I went to O'Flaherty's with six of my closest friends to have a drink on Saturday evening. O'Flahtery's was packed so I was so happy that I could get seated with my party. I unfortunately had a very disappointing experience at O'Flaherty's. After being helped by the female server and payed the bill, the female server came over to my table a few minutes after and complained that she didn't receive a tip from our table. The server ignored us for most of our time at the restaurant and provided bare minimum service. If I am with a large group of people, I usually like to tip in cash so the servers get the majority of the tip. Our party was going to tip the server for the drinks that she served. I find it very unprofessional and very rude for a server to come up to a table and mention to them that they didn't tip. A server should not be hostile to restaurant guests and confront them about not tipping when they plan on tipping. A person from our table went over to give the server a tip and she looked disgusted and ungrateful. I will definitely think twice about going to O'Flaherty's if the service doesn't change. This experience ruined a perfect night out with friends. Servers can have good days and bad days, but should not confront guests. The restaurant management needs to address the staff's professionalism. This whole experience makes me not want to go to O'Flaherty's due to the poor customer service and lack of professionalism. read more

O'Flaherty's Irish Pub - Every table is a converted sewing machine - Irish Pub Near Me - San Jose, California

My friends and I stopped in due to needing a spot away from the world famous sjbg (they were too busy for us to join line) Our experience started very smooth, we all got ids checked and went to buy drinks. After drinks we settled outside where no other patrons resided. We felt safe in this space to enjoy eachothers company, so much so that we maybe got too loud for security's liking. This would have been understandable due to apartments above the establishment, however the way in which the message was delivered by one specific security guard was very unappreciated. It was rude, uninformative, egotistical, and flat out just seemed like they enjoyed enforcing rules to us more than keeping a welcoming atmosphere. Way too much for what ended up being a warning. Personally, I liked the spot, the drinks, the prices, and the service from bartenders. However, I will not be back for a long time due to my experience with that security worker. The other security person was super chill and even cracked jokes with us after, so its sad to have had it ruined by one sour apple. read more

Looking for a late-night dinner with drinks? O'Flaherty's Irish Pub should definitely be one of your options! Located in Downtown San Jose, this is a great place for late-night munchies with your friends, especially since it closes at 2 AM every day! My friends and I ordered the Irish Fries, Shepherd's Pie, and Mushroom Curry, and I absolutely enjoyed all of it. In terms of taste, it's a 12/10 for me! However, the proportion of price and serving size is a bit disappointing, but it's pretty much expected for a restaurant in Downtown San Jose. The Irish Fries are like loaded fries topped with chopped bacon, cheese, sour cream, and more - a perfect pairing with your alcoholic beverage. Mushroom Curry and Shepherd's Pie are very savory. I can't really decide which dish is my top favorite, but both are definitely worth a try, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. The customer service was a bit slow. We were seated outside, furthest from the entrance, and it took forever for them to come to us. We even tried to get their attention, but it was quite difficult, so we had to go inside and ask for a waiter. Nonetheless, I really enjoyed their food, and the vibe is just perfect for a late-night hangout. read more

Closes 35 minutes early. Bouncer is extremely rude and will talk down to you. I was denied entry because they "were no longer accepting admissions." When I returned with my ID in hand and asked if I could just use the restroom he claimed "if you weren't so aggressive I would have let you in." I am a 5 foot tall female. He is a close to 6 foot husky male. This was beyond unprofessional especially because we were all business professionals there for a tech conference. Once the bar closed we watched him scream at guests to leave. I reached out to the restaurant to file a complaint and they couldn't even bother to respond. Low class and not with your time or money. read more
