    Chicken Nachos
    Tessa L.

    4.5/5 Chicken Nachos 3.75/5 Dark and Stormy Came here late on a Tuesday night with a friend when there was torrential rain after dinner. Good place to meet up with friends for a drink or to watch a game. There are TVs throughout the place, not just at the bar. Will have to come back to catch a live music performance that they mentioned happens on Monday nights. The interior of the place has a cozy feel as the lighting of the place is on the dimmer side and has string lights. Service is standard like any other bar. You go in and seat yourself and go up to the bar when you're ready to order. I had a dark and stormy and chicken nachos. Would recommend the nachos. Good portion for the price! There's street parking outside that usually is available. Otherwise, the side streets have ample parking as well.

    Steak frites and sweet potato fries had a great char and a juicy taste

    The food and the drinks were so good. Great service, the waitress was really quick. The atmosphere felt warming. The food was so amazing. You will never find a buffalo chicken pizza quit like the ones at Porter Belly's. This is an absolute must TRY !

    Taylor was extremely friendly and helpful. So many good options. We enjoyed our food. The sweet potato fries were awesome. A local pub feel with bar and tables, was clean with nice decor and TV for sports.

    Great Bar and great casual food ! My boyfriend and I came after a rough day for some casual quick food and a drink. We luckily got there right befor r the kitchen closed. Prices can vary I got the lobster roll for $25 but the crisp toasted bun and yummy lobster with side of coleslaw and fries was well worth it! My boyfriend got the bacon burger for $16 with fries which was pretty big. We got the bailey's Irish cream cheesecake a must try for anyone with a sweet tooth! Our server Greg was great he made sure to get our order in before the kitchen closed, was attentive making sure we enjoyed the food and asking if we needed anything as well as refills on our drinks. I got the Downeast cider, my boyfriend got a Guiness. There was plenty of seating and the staff and customers were friendly so we plan on returning soon! Highly recommend if you're looking for a chill bar.

    Typical irish bar, good service and solid food. Poured a great Guinness! Would definitely go back if I was in the area

    Perfect pour of fresh Guinness

    Exception staff, food, and one of the best Guinness pours in all of Boston. Also has an incredibly cozy interior with live music on the weekends. A true Irish pub outside of Ireland. I couldn't recommend more! A+

    Cheese pizza
    Stephanie L.

    Have been many times over the years but this was our first time back in years. Not as good as it used to be. They should take pizza off their menu. Two of us got burgers and fries which were good but the third person with us got cheese pizza (which came out 15 minutes after we got our food). It was literally cheese pizza and that's it. No sauce on it, just cheese and crust! Are you kidding me? Did we have to specify sauce on a cheese pizza? And the cheese smelled like vomit. Definitely wasn't mozzarella. They should be ashamed for serving that.

    Delicious food, friendly staff, open mic on Mondays (with people who sound like they've been hired to play - a lot of regulars that are great musicians!) We love coming here and grabbing one of the small booths by the windows - those are perfect for a date night!

    Bacon burger, truffle fries, chicken Caesar salad on Ciabatta !
    Riley M.

    This was our first date night out since March- we had so much fun! Casey was a great waitress and we really enjoyed the food:) we had some special requests and asked for things on the side and they were very accommodating- and fast!! We loved the music on the patio!! We felt very safe there- COVID-19 precautions were definitely taken.

    Food portions are large. I would prefer they reduce size and lower price…read more The chicken pot pie was excellent, filling and full of chicken, Vegetables. I saw the size of Shepard's pie dish and was two portions, the beef stew is huge, outstanding. Chicken parm with pasta huge... I'd enjoy 1/2-2/3 of portion and lower price now a-days . All is good, beers, food, vibes, staff. 16 oz beers look small with head on top. I wasn't given the specials menu with the normal menu... I wanted the beef stew and wasn't on regular menu ... was on specials ... Bartender should have assured I was given it... his annoyed me when I saw someone ordered the beef stew...

    This was our first visit to O'Hara's as we were in town from CT for an appointment. We chose thanks…read moreto a Yelp reviews and it did not disappoint! We started with the pretzel bites and a curl of French onion soup (so sad I didn't get a photo). Both delicious although the cheese sauce for the pretzel bites was a bit thin - the flavor was there though. The French onion soup was delicious! The first spoonful made my tastebuds dance! The bread in the soup tasted like rye which ended up being a nice touch. They also did not skimp on the cheese! For our meals, my wife got the French dip sandwich handheld which she enjoyed. She was only able to finish half. I couldn't decide and asked our waitress to decide for me from shepherd's pie, chicken pot pie, and the London broil. She talked me into the shepherd's pie due to the weather outside and the fact that it is so big, I would definitely get to take home leftovers. This dish was huge! From the first spoonful, the taste of the sirloin/potato/demiglace was perfect. This is definitely a hearty dish worthy of a winter's night! From the smile on the host's face when we walked in, the ambience with the wood, windows, and lights, and our wonderful (and attentive) waitress, our visit to O'Hara's was definitely one we would like to replicate!
