    It was cool finding this spot. I needed a bar close by and this has everything I need. Lots of t.v.s, good music, pool table, friendly bartenders. What I didn't like is while I was there these young patrons were playing a drinking game that required them to bang on the table. It was disruptive and no one stopped them. It was killing my chill vibe. I went there to relax that totally threw me off. I know that want people to have fun but if it's affecting the other patrons they should ask them to stop. So rowdy

    Went back here during phase 2, their patio is super nice and one of the only (if not the only in the Allston area). The drinks on tap were limited, which was disappointing, and the service pretty slow (and the menu is a shorter list, due to the present crisis I am assuming), but overall had a very nice evening in a very nice setting with friends.

    This was actually a pretty fun place! The guests were great, and the bar tenders were very professional and attentive. There was definitely some kind of party event going on with trivia contests, but I was so drunk, and having so much fun that I don't even remember what happened. I just know I had great company, and had a blast! I was treated so well here as well.

    Damn, why such a bad rating? I'm not a Bostonian, so I don't know how valid my opinion is, but I freaking loved this place! TWENTY-FIVE CENT CHICKEN WINGS! Yes, I said $.25! A freaking quarter for one chicken wing. I believe this deal is valid all day Sunday (PERFECT FOR FOOTBALL!) and after 6pm on Mondays (also perfect for football!). Original hot and Cooperstown were my favorites. I came here for Sunday lunch and my group of six had a total of 78 wings, a couple of beers, and enjoyed football on 4 flat screen tv. Too bad they didn't have any of my west coast teams playing. Note: You have to order them in intervals of 6, and they have 9 different flavors! And get their beer battered fries. Mmmmmmmm. If I ever come back to Boston, I am definitely hitting this place up again (on a Sunday or Monday). And according to a sign in the bathroom, they have trivia and beer pong night!

It is ok the smaller side, so I would arrive slightly early if you would like good viewing of a specific game; however, there is TVs throughout the small-ish space. I ordered the cheese curds to munch on, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that they were some of the best cheese curds I've had. The breading wasn't thick like most, just an ultra thin layer. Added fresh jalapeños. And for dipping it was a ranch-styled sauce. So SO good ! I had a local, canned beer to drink. Service was good and it gave off a local/community vibe since the bartenders seemed to know who the regulars are. I will definitely be back! I typically don't drink cocktails at this sort of establishment, but the White Russian 2.0 has perked my interest. If the food is that great and it's only $13 for a cocktail... I'll be back to give it a try.

My roommates and I rarely made it one week without stopping by, and we looked forward to seeing Bobby every Saturday night on our way home (we would frequently leave whatever bar or restaurant we were at at a calculated time to make sure we didn't miss him!) The staff treated us like family, pulling up chairs for us when it was too packed and I cherish the friendships we made -- especially with Bobby :) They host such fun events too... one Monday we got free Guiness with our pictures printed on it, the trivia night on Wednesdays is truly SO fun, and OMalley's might be best place to celebrate St. Paddy's -- I can certainly understand why there's a year-round countdown hanging on the wall. The food here is pretty good too. My go-to became the buffalo chicken wrap, but my roommate usually ordered the chicken tenders and those were super solid too. Again, Omalley's is a home to me and it carries so much nostalgia... but I honestly cannot think of a an establishment with better people and better vibes. I will be bee-lining it back to Omalley's the minute I touch down in Boston next.

TVs with local sports. Great place to stop before heading into the Red Sox a T ride away.

Loved the rotating welcome sign at the entrance. My only complaint would be the ladies room could use a makeover. A nice paint job and new doors as one stall had no lock..
