A great beer on tap!
Erica A.

A wonderful small bar! Great service! I always stop by there if I am in the neighborhood! They have a Mystery beer for $3!

We've been coming to o'eals for almost 30 years Spoony was our bartender but now he's the proprietor always makes us feel welcome. Bo and kayleen are amazing bartenders extremely attentive and super friendly. Definitely my favorite bar in Philly

We were staying at an Airbnb nearby and decided to try O'Neals. What a find! Its like the kind of bar I wish was my local, drinks are good, great choice and very reasonably priced (compared to London!). Staff (Sue) was lovely and has great craic with the owner Spoonie, we even thought they were married! We felt welcomed by staff and punters. Was relaxing to while away a couple of afternoons watching sport we didn't understand and then stumble back to our house. Plus the are an Everton Supporters club bar. Will be back when next in Philly

Mystery drink

O'Neals was awesome! Passed by on Friday afternoon right before happy hour and got to experience some great banter with the bartender. The service was a big part of the experience, all the staff were welcoming and shared their stories from working at O'Neals for some time. The loaded baked potato was soooo good, I remember the freshness of the chives and the crunch on the bacon. There is ample seating and they keep the patio doors open providing a nice fresh breeze. O'Neals is definitely a landmark for Philly, they have a great beers on tap and a variety of "mystery" drinks from the fridge. I'll definitely be returning the next time I'm in Philly.

Different cheesesteak #1029 in the last four years. It was Tuesday. I was with amigo Dan. I'm going to do an Amigo Dan and only talk about the things we liked. We got the O'Neals Pub cheesesteak with Mushrooms. We liked sitting outside on 3rd St on a lovely afternoon. We loved the $4.50 Margarita's (they were going down faster than Sue could replace them). The cheesesteak was $10.50 (50 cents for mushrooms) and came with very good sweet potato fries.

One of the bartenders was as rude as I've ever come across. Friends and I came to have food after a show, arrived around 1030, no one fretted us upon arrival. My friends sat outside as it was a really nice night out. About 5 minutes after standing at the bar, the bartender finally came to greet me, in the most unfriendly tone. He asked if I was sitting outside, in which I replied that my friends were outside, he quickly stated that outside was not available for service. I dont want to keep digressing, however when I went back to my friends and the bartender talking to them was the complete opposite. What a tragic ending, to a fun night.

PHILADELPHIA: Brie did Philly!!! Her first stop was at O'Neals Pub, a divey sports bar a few blocks from the Delaware River! Dogs are allowed inside on the main floor and also at the outdoor seasonal beer garden (there is a 2nd floor, but no dogs allowed). It's an old building and small/narrow, so we recommend going during the week and during the day so your dog is comfortable before the happy hour and weekend crowds fill the place. They also have a nice food menu (Philly cheese steak anyone?) with reasonable prices and the super friendly bartender will make some recommendations on cocktails or from their huge list of beers. We kept it local with a Philadelphia Brewing Co.'s Walt Wit. Brie always meets people everywhere we go and this time we ran into super sweet Debbie, a volunteer with Street Tails Animal Rescue, based in the city. If you're looking to add a pet to your family, consider adopting from here!

I must have driven past this venue 100's of times and never really took notice. It wasn't until I…read morewas out with the family that someone suggested going to The Pub. I learned later that this restaurant has been around since the early to mid 1900's. Plenty of parking in a large open lot. The place is very large and has one of the longest bars I've seen. The wood is very dark and you can see the chefs cooking over the hearth. They don't take reservations and won't see you until your entire party is there. One of the things I liked for our party of 10 was they had no problems with seating as they also have many large round tables. For mixed drinks, they make them pretty big and potent. For my martini, they sent back an extra glass. They also had great bleu cheese stuffed olives. We ordered onion rings (8 large to an order) and fried zucchini. The onion ring I had was pretty good. I didn't have the fried zucchini but heard it was also pretty good. Other than the light fare items, all dinners come with their salad bar which has both iceberg lettuce and Caesar Salad along with many fixings as well as cheeses and bread. I had the Baked Seafood Platter which came with scallops, shrimp, Clam Casino (without the shell), Maryland crab cake and a small lobster tail for $49.99. My wife had the baked chicken breast which she said was quite dry. The dining area is quite large and reminds me of the restaurants at a casino. Some in our group said it reminds them of Medieval Times due to the dark wood vibe. While I thought it was a bit pricey, I would still come back and try their signature steaks or prime rib.

I'm not sure how accountable this review will be, as I did take out not stayed. They were having happy hour but it didn't count for me as I was take out I guess. I got the mozzarella sticks were bomb with the sauce and I got the creamy Mac and cheese. I was excited for the Mac and cheese because I had one last night that was amazing from somewhere else. I got back to my hotel my second but I found a hair. Like a fatty I threw it to the side and kept eating it anyways. Unlike a true fatty, I didn't finish it. So unholy for a Mac and cheese lover like myself... but it was too acidic for me. I couldn't keep eating it. So I'm basing this review solely on the food. The service seemed ok? They seemed nice, but can't judge that as I did take out.

This way it was easy for our group to talk. I saw someone else drinking a drink that looked really good so I just ordered that without looking at the menu. It was in a champagne glass and had an orange peel in it. This drink was delish and I would order it again. I ordered the caesar w salmon. The salad itself was fine but the dressing didn't taste at all like caesar dressing. I still ate the whole thing - but just didn't love the dressing.

Reviewers rated Moriarty's short ribs highly, and though I hesitated to order risotto take out, I want for it. Sorry, no pics but trust ne when I say it was delish! The portions were great (there were a few spears of asparagus) and the lukewarm risotto (expected considering it was delivered) was creamy and flavorful. There was a but more oil than I would have liked floating at the bottom, and the sauce was a bit salty, but not so much that I couldn't enjoy the super tender morsels of beef. I look forward to trying something else on the menu soon.
