A friend raved about the banh mi sandwich here, especially mentioning that it had some spice, so I had to check it out. The sandwich definitely looked like it had a great crunch. As a disclaimer, I'm not a big fan of pork or lamb, but I still wanted to give it a try. Unfortunately, it wasn't spicy at all, so if you're looking for something with a little heat, I'd probably order something else. Overall, it wasn't bad--just not really for me. Now, the bartender? Absolute MVP. Great conversation, great energy, and honestly made the experience. The bar itself is super cute and cozy, with big armchairs in the front that make you want to cancel your plans and stay awhile. I'd come back for the vibes, the service, and a drink--just maybe not that sandwich. read more

Awesome pub! Great service. Really good drinks and food. For a good time come here. This place is like Shots Miami but in a pub setting instead. My fav drink here is the Pink delight which is their twist on a vodka cranberry. Best one I've had. And my fave shot so far is the Purple Haze, it's sweet but not too sweet. read more

Been away for 10 years. This small bar remembered my name and drink. Food is great, the menu is eclectic but wonderful. Truly the place to make your first stop in Rota! Had the most wonderful Bánh-Mì. Seriously Vietnamese food in and Irish pub in Spain. You have to try it. This Pub is spectacular! read more

O'Grady's Irish Bar - Pubs Near Me - Rota, California

The lighting isn't very bright here and there isn't much seating. Wing deals on Tuesdays and they are excellent! Great selection of drinks. Always packed on the weekends. read more

the owner and staff are so nice. We have eaten here a couple of times and the food is tasty. The monster club is good to share for 2-3 people! The schnitzel is also good as well. They have a variety of beers and shots to choose from. Our favorite is the scooby snax! Their wings with original sauce is tasty! Great to dip your fries in! read more

This was one of the first bars I went to while in Rota. Had one too many and stumbled my way back to base. The following weekend, putting pieces of what happened down the cobblestone streets, I felt the nice feeling of familiarity of O'Grady's as I stood in front of the large green doors. Walked in and sat at the bar as Patrick made fun of me, my laziness in the military and anything else. I went to that bar every weekend. And when I left Spain, and returned to visit in-laws, my first stop? O'Grady's. You can't go wrong in this bar. Great food, great music, great beer selection, and an amazing staff. If you stop in there, place your dollar on the wall, give blessings to Cassius Clay on the wall, and politely ask Patrick to play some Wu-Tang and Depeche Mode for me. read more

That burger IS great. Not the best I've ever had, but definitely better than anywhere else in Rota... They keep a rotation of American craft brews that reminds me on being back in California. Although it's a real tight squeeze, they've got cool décor, a friendly staff, and it's incredibly convenient if you're staying across the street at Hotel El Duque. It's a sensible addition to the standard aircrew "Paddy's, Chucky Bar, Arcos, Honey Don't Cry/Copa Sur" loop. read more

Great local bar with plenty of beer on tap or bottle and plenty of premium alcohol- Crown, Jack Daniels, Jameson, Jim Beam....My food of choice is the Shepherds pie and the club sandwich could feed 2. read more

O'Grady's Irish Bar - Great Club Sandwich and fries! Never disappointing. - Pubs Near Me - Rota, California

If your in Rota (my favorite place to be when I'm overseas) you have to go here. Drink a few beers, sign and tape a dollar bill on the ceiling, and throw some darts. It's close to other bars and eateries. I've been going here for a decade and a half (2005, 2006, 2008, 2015, 2017) and soon to return this year. Good prices, friendly people and open late. read more

This bar was my home away from home, the owner is the most hospitable guy and a personal friend. I doubt it's still on the board but you might be served a drink that will put you on your ass if you ask the manager for a "wrath of zews" read more

Best bar in Rota. The only reason I stay at the Duque when I come. Best food in town. Great prices. The wifi is excellent. The service is top notch. Honestly, my favorite bar in the world. read more

Been away for a short while.... The guys and I wanted a reminder of home and the guys on base pointed us here. This is like a little slice of the U.S. Beer and burgers!!!! Oh yeah! All kinds of "local beer from America". And the burgers are outstanding, especially when you've been eating MRE's, cafeteria food and other stuff for a while. Kinda cool looking too with all the money plastered on the walls. We had a great time. Will come back when we get here again......... Buenas noches read more

The only redeeming part of this place is the food. Everything else is pretty bad. The service is terrible. It takes forever to get a drink because the bartenders are usually talking to the regulars, and complain that they're super busy when there's only 10 people there. I've been there a few times and it's always the same. The shorter female bartender is also one of the rudest people I've met. She messed up the check and tried to tell us it was our fault for not having one person order and pay for everything. read more

This is NOT a 4.5 star place for food. The hamburger and fries were avg at best and tasted like a frozen bubba burger. It is a very small BAR that serves wings and burgers as a side for those drinking. Lots of sailors and large selection of adult beverages. read more

A popular spot for the Americans from the base. O'Gradys has a great burger and many beers you will not find in any of the other bars. If you want a real beer and not that Spanish Cruz Campo crap, go to O'Gradys and have a Raging Bitch or Torpedo. THe place has a good reputation and friendly and welcoming staff. read more

Chicken Schnitzel is very on point. Fries are fresh cut! Awesome food for a great price. Bueno!

Great pub!! Patrick is the best owner bartender around! Fantastic meal and special drink!!

Would have given it zero stars. Took over an hour for our food to come. Ordered 2 pulled pork sandwiches to-go at 8:10pm. Received one sandwich at 9:10pm. The other didn't come by 9:20pm so asked for our money back and left. Reason was "not enough staff." Terrible experience and will never come back. Decent pulled pork sandwich though and good potential for the bar. Seems more of a management/staffing issue... read more

This is a cool little place, but when 10 of us order food and there barely anyone here and we are still waiting for our food that we ordered 2 hours later!!! May be good for drinks, but don't waste your time waiting on the food. read more

the kitchen closes 10 minutes before 1am. so be sure to get your order in. great food and drinks.
