Not sure how "Irish" this joint is; but the walls are green, light covers are green, and there's shamrocks. O'Malley's has cheap booze, a pool table, you can play music, watch multiple TV's (sports), and there's a Dj on certain nights.. Cash only though. I've been coming here since winter 2009. Mario is my favorite bartender. He's usually in around 10:30pm or so... Very laid back, hippie type. The rest of the bartenders are nice too. My drinks are always cheap. I've never spent more than $30 bucks, including tip and have drank plenty of whiskey..... TBK is across the street. Which is another plus. After a night of drinking, walk to Taco Burrito King, and take a taxi home. I bring all of my friends here whenever we're in the neighborhood. I highly recommend this bar :) lots of regulars, great times, every time! Oh and there's additional parking in the insurance lot, next to the bar. After 9pm there's no towing (I was told). There's street parking at Belmont and Harlem, but depending on time, you're better off pulling in there.

The pizza was excellent, very flavorful, great tasting sauce, and the crust was perfectly made. We also had an order of wings, generous portion, with just the right amount of heat. For an appetizer we went with the artichoke dip served with homemade tortilla chips. You definitely want to try these. They have a solid selection of craft beers, the old-fashioned I ordered was nicely made, and I really enjoyed it. Great service by the friendly staff. Overall, a great experience. Can't wait to go back and enjoy more of the menu and definitely another tavern style Pizza!

It's kind of a small bar, but it's actually bigger than it looks. Has pretty much just beer and liquor, but what else do you need here. The drinks are pretty average on prices. About the only things on the menu are beer and liquor, not really any Irish food. It's about $7 for a Jameson. The beer and liquor selection isn't humongous, but it has the Irish basics like any good Irish pub should. Atmosphere is the other good thing here. You can have a pretty good time. Come get some free entertainment while knocking some back. There's often traditional live music and stuff, and not just on St. Patrick's Day either. Good Irish drinks. It's not much in the way of food. There's bags of chips if you need to get something.

I was hoping to meet with some regulars and get sold into staying longer but it was 12:30 and I was the only one there. As a dive bar aficionado I will def be back! Thanks again, Jennifer!

Welcoming, comfortable, and the kind of place that makes you want to become a regular. Everything we've tried has been excellent. Our go-to order has been the wings and the chicken Caesar salad, which are both consistently delicious. But today we tried the Shia LaBuffalo Bowl, and WOW it was absolutely incredible. And honestly, the name alone deserves bonus points. So clever! We cannot wait to try the rest of their menu, EVERYTHING sounds delicious. We have to give a huge shoutout to Katie behind the bar. She makes us feel at home every single time we visit. She's warm, friendly, funny, and an exceptional bartender. I'm pretty particular about an Aperol Spritz, and Katie makes my favorite spritz in the city. She also makes an amazing mango margarita and a fantastic spicy watermelon marg.

When we pulled up to the venue, we were a little uncertain as to where to enter, as the venue had several stages. A it turns out, the show we went to see was in the "nightclub", interior of the venue. When we walked in, we noticed that many of the tables were reserved. However, it was not yet crowded, so we found an open table still close to the stage. The venue is really pretty small, so no seat is a bad seat. We got drinks right away. They had a full bar and a decent drink menu. We chose the Vieux Carré, which was pre-made in large batches by their bartender, but still very good. It was nice that there was a cocktail server serving us all night. It was also nice that they served food from the restaurant in the nightclub. We were able to share some appetizers before the show. All in all, it was a great venue with an enthusiastic crowd. They had good food and good drinks. I do think I would have been better if they had a larger dance floor, as some of the reserved tables (which remained empty) took up dance floor space. We were still able to find space to dance, but it would have been crowded had there been more dancers.

When we got there the door greater host asked if we had a reservation. Reservation? For burgers outside? No. He seemed frustrated and bothered but found us a seat. Waited for someone to come up and take our order for over 10 minutes. Had to ask someone for help. They sent someone over and again, she seemed bothered. We ordered drinks and 15 minutes later finally got them. Might have been better to just walk up to the bar and get them ourselves. Then the food. Another person, not the same as the drinks, came up and asked if we were ready to order yet. Like in a demanding way. Again, not welcoming at all. We ordered the $5 specials. 2 burgers, 2 pulled pork. They came out fairly quickly compared to everything else. The person who brought them out was at least nice and had a smile. The burgers themselves are pretty big. Double patty with cheese and a sauce and served with waffle fries. Pulled pork sandwich was full and with fries as well. The problem was, there was nothing else on the burger. Very plain and well done. And the pulled pork sandwiches were so salty one of us didn't even finish it. It was like some opened a salt shaker and dumped it out on the. Very dry and chewy strings of meat as well. We asked a couple times for condiments and drink refills but that was like pulling teeth and gave up. No condiments on the tables at all besides hot sauce. When the bill came we about fell over. For a $5 meal, it didn't come out that way at the end. Between adding a coke, tax and whatever fee there was a $5 meal more than doubled to $12 each. Again, we had cokes, not liquor. And no special add on toppings or sides. And don't get me started on the S'mores kits they sold us. $12 for 4 small marshmallows, 1 full gram cracker (broke in half), 1 Hershey bar and a stick. I mean I know chocolate's been expensive lately, but dang! I mean you can get an entire bag of marshmallows, box of gram crackers and a couple candy bars for that price. The show itself was fine. Kind of loud for the small room it was in and a little too packed for the room size. We didn't feel welcomed at all. At any point. No one was upbeat, happy or even smiled besides the one guy that brought us our food. The opposite really like were were bothering them for being there and eating food. It was like they all had that we're too cool for you vibe going on. But really it was just small town I hate my job attitude. To management, I'd suggest you talk to your staff. If they are truly that unhappy working there, address it. Or, if this is the vibe you are going for, it doesn't work. For the food, it smelled great outside like a campfire bbq but the $5 specials are only a good deal when you can actually eat them. Talk to the chef and watch how things are made or ingredients put in. We will be back for the entertainment, but not sure on the food.
