Delightful. Delicious. Delovely. Great service, a beautiful space (the old firehouse!), and…read moredelicious food all came together to make for a wonderful evening celebrating a good friend's birthday. (Bonus points for their flexibility--we had a surprise out of town guest who could join as well!) The menu has something to please every palate, from the vegans to the obligate carnivores. Ditto on the drink menu--they have a wonderful selection of beer and wine, and they have fun N/A options as well. The portions are generous (one person in our party ordered two appetizers and still had something to take home) and beautifully plated. I started with a green salad and loved the balance of tastes and textures. The greens were tender and crisp, the nuts crunchy, the chèvre yogurt creamy, and the dressing exactly right. (It was almost but not quite too pretty to eat.) For my main, I ordered the tofu hash, one of the vegan offerings. Flavored with a tasty chili sauce and fermented black beans, this was an intriguing and delicious entree. The sautéed vegetables were tender and beautifully complemented the crisp tofu and yucca, and the arugula salad added a refreshing element. There was a ton--I had leftovers for a truly delicious lunch. I also have to compliment their N/A selection. I ordered the Aplós Ume Spritz, and it was a very delightful way to start my meal. Light, sweet, and a pretty shade of pinkish-purple, it tasted just like a summer party. This would be a great place to grab dinner with friends, family, or that special someone. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and sometimes, they have live music, too! Also, pro tip: don't miss out on a side of bread and butter--it's really tasty here!

This is one of my favorite spots and favorite burgers in the city. My friend and I shared the cheeseburger and the chicken sandwich and fries. I had not had the chicken sandwich before, but will definitely be ordering it again as it was delicious. The burger continues to be one of my favorite in the area. If you're not super hungry, you can definitely share the fries. It's a pretty decent size portion! Our server Donika was super bubbly and friendly and one of the best servers I've had in a while! She had great recommendations and was quick and attentive. The spot is great time of year, but especially in the summer when they have the doors open! The inside bar is also so cool. Somewhere I bring out-of-town guest again and again :)

Have been wanting to come here since they opened, but always forget about it behind the store…read more After seeing photos from a friend who stopped by, I decided to make a reservation and finally give the sidebar a try. The space is very nice. A little loud, but not so bad you can't have a conversation. I love the big windows along the side and being behind the storefront on the other side. For the food...fantastic. I saw arancini on the menu, which I can never say no to. These had a pea pesto, which was perfect for spring. I ended up getting the chicken sandwich for my dinner and had a couple fabulous cocktails. Since we stopped in for a birthday celebration, we were also treated to a delicious scoop of cake batter ice cream. Our server was delightful, very fast and incredibly friendly. He also had great suggestions for those who wanted a recommendation. All in all, would definitely come back to the Sidebar!

Continually amazing!…read more We stopped in here the other night for the tried and true fish and chips. O'Brien's Public House always has some of the best fish... however you like it. My husband got the fish tacos for the first time and loved them.. It was a really healthy portion and even had some leftovers. I stuck with my favorite, the cod & chips,these are always amazing! Our server was very friendly and it was a pretty slow night but great service overall. Can't wait to stop back again and enjoy even more food!

I live in Shakopee and have gone to this pub many times. the food is o.k. not wonderful but…read moreadequate. However today has caused me to give O'Brien's one star and believe me if it were possible I'd give them -1. I was supposed to meet six of my friends here today for St Patrick's Day. Our car got struck and we did not arrive until 1 1/2 hours late. We were so late that we would have just had a drink had we known there was a time limit on the table BUT our waitress, Addison 8, did not mention this and took our meal order leisurely. Just after we were served she announced to the table that we all had to leave in 15 minutes. I said I assumed it did not apply to us as we had not even started to eat. she told us it applied to all of us. She told us if I was not happy about this I could speak to the Manager. I told her I would like to. then she said I could speak to her instead but I told her I wanted to speak to the Manager. No Manager ever materialized. I probably will never go to this restaurant again. I know times are tough and I don't object to time limits on tables BUT if a customer is very late the least a server should do is let them know there is a very limited time left for them to eat BEFORE they order $70 worth of food and drinks. I will be sure to mention this matter to my friends and as I have stated i will make sure I give my other regular restaurants the business I gave O'Briens. '

As a huge chicken sandwich fanatic, I got the Dill Pickle Fried Chicken Sandwich. The chicken was very moist and juicy, sauce is good, buns are nicely toasted, and the fries are perfect. I do want to add that the chicken itself could use more seasoning.

I ordered mine with oatmeal pancakes, scrambled eggs, and pork sausage links. The oatmeal pancakes were fantastic. So fluffy and filling! I could have easily had another stack. The eggs were cooked well, and the sausage was tasty, but they were pretty much your typical breakfast fare. The coffee ($3.75) was also your average diner coffee and came with free refills. My server was on top of things. She always kept my glass of water and cup of coffee full, and she was super sweet, to boot. A touch on the expensive side, in my opinion, for what you get, but if you're in the area and you want a tasty, filling breakfast, this is a good option.
