    My wife & I went here for a late lunch on Saturday. When we walked in the door, we were "smacked in the face" by a VERY WEIRD smell. For that reason, we asked to be seated in the outdoor seating area. Our server came to our table fairly quickly to get our drink order. After our drinks arrived, she took our food order. After our food arrived at the table, we didn't really see her too much. She did stop by and ask how our food was, but by that time, we were finished eating, so I just asked for the check. I went there hoping to have an amazing meal of corned beef. I was VERY disappointed to see it wasn't on the menu. Instead, I ordered the bangers & mash. She ordered the Reubens rolls. I ordered an Irish red ale. The beer was served in flimsy plastic cups (disappointing) The food was GREAT!! I can't say the same for the rest of our experience... 🙄

    Ok been here twice now, and.........it's really good guys! The food is 3 notches above traditional bar food. Wife had the fish, it was perfect. I had the philly this time. The meat has flavor, the bread has flavor, it's well put together not too much meat not too much cheese it's well made. I don't the joint justice much better than a bar with food

    What an experience! It was our first time. The food was really good. I had the Boneless Basket and a 12" in Pizza. I always pass by and today was the day that I decided to come and try it out! Our server Hailey was amazing and lovely. She has an amazing attitude and made the atmosphere great! Would come back!

    Thanks for having us for our New Year's Eve Party. Tamra did a amazing job of setting things up and Marissa took amazing care of our group once we arrived. We had a great time thanks again!

    Stopped in to have a quick lunch and what a pleasant surprise. Lets start with the size...huge! This place can easily accommodate fifty people alone in something that looks like a private room located in the front and to the right of the main bar. Outside back is where they have a resident DJ who rocks the ones and twos on Friday and Saturday evening. They also do karaoke(Thursday and Fridays). Most all sporting events are broadcast here on one of their many 50 plus inch HD televisions. I hear that lots of northerners frequently come here. Lots of Ohio state fans and also home to the Buccaneers and The Lightning. Great services provided here. I had the pleasure of meeting Kourtney (bartender) and Tamarin (manager) both helpful and professional. I sampled a couple of Crafts beers while there. Cigar city topobaga is what I liked. It's dark and heavy but tasty and refreshing. To summarize I really like the place. I should also mention they have darts so yay to that! If you love Karaoke or darts...watching sports or jamming out...or just good service and a cold beer, this might be your new hangout. I'm definitely coming back.

    Awesome Ohio State Buckeyes bar! Greek salad with grilled chicken was not your typical bar salad! Service was great even though they were packed! Highly recommend for a game!

  • 5/5 Michael S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere! The staff was on point! Food and drinks were very fair priced and AMAZING! The owner came up to us at the end of the evening and showed his appreciation. I will most definitely be back for a second and third time!

    My husband and I absolutely love coming here!! The food is amazing, but the service from Andrea is beyond amazing!!!!!!!!! She is the main reason we come. Before we sit down, she has our drinks for us and puts in our order for Jalapeño fritters. Andrea knows my husband's dinner order, and mine!! We see how many of the Patrons love her as much as we do! She is the main reason we come here. She is like family to so many, and you should count your lucky stars to have her here. She is beyond a blessing. When we come and she's not here, it's just not the same. We would like for the owners to reach out so we can express our gratitude for having her.

    Been going to O’Briens for years! Great spot, great food/drinks. Always consistent.

  • 3/5 Angela S. 6 months ago on Google • 12 reviews
    Food is really good, but didn't come out the way I asked. Mgr did offer to remake. Not enough wait staff. Server was running around & bussing & cleaning too. She wasn't the friendliest. First time I experienced any of this here. But then again, I hadn't been there in a year. Hoping it was an off night. They had line dancing going on & always have some sort of musical entertainment. I would Def go back again & just hope for better & quicker service.

  • 3/5 Dennis F. 2 years ago on Google
    Pleasant enough place and staff, but I thought the price is trending high. Two pieces of breaded fish, fries, small Cole slaw and tartar sauce with iced tea. $20+

  • 3/5 J H. 1 year ago on Google
    About as Irish as Elizabeth Warren is Indian. Green seats and clover make not an irish pub. Food very decent.

  • 5/5 Victoria S. 2 years ago on Google
    New manager Stephen is such a great guy! The husband and I went to check out the Paintball nights they've started on Sundays. Door prizes, good food, separate room from the bar to watch paintball without interruption (or interrupting) from the other patrons. We will definitely be returning!

  • 5/5 Kris M. 1 year ago on Google
    We just went to a birthday party there. They reserved a bunch of tables for us & let us decorate. The food was great. My Cuban sandwich was HUGE. Great service too. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It's a great place to relax.

  • 5/5 Brian H. 2 years ago on Google
    We're there every Tues night with a large group of around 20 plus people and Andrea always takes care of us! She works very hard to ensure we're taken care of.

  • 4/5 Barbara L. 3 years ago on Google
    Great fish n chips

  • 5/5 Kelly M. 4 years ago on Google
    Best on weekends.

  • 4/5 Jus C. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food. Live band on the weekends. But the party is really out back on the patio with the DJ spinning Hip Hop classics.

  • 2/5 Stacey D. 4 years ago on Google
    Impersonal meat market.. Food mediocre

  • 5/5 Jessica P. 4 years ago on Google
    Great around the way bar / club. My boyfriend and I went here on a Saturday night to the outside club/ bar. Nothing fancy just neighbor people enjoying great music and drinks all ages and races come here which is nice great mix of people. They have a few securitiy guards posted outside. I’ve been here a few times. If you don’t want to get all club dressed up but want to enjoy good music in. Decent atmosphere check out O’Brien’s on Sat night. Oh it’s rock music on the inside and more hip hop like on outside something for everyone

  • 4/5 Talini P. 4 years ago on Google
    My boyfriend and I have gone here somewhat frequently since we moved to this area. The last three times have disappointed me seeing as how I got food poisoning or at least food poisoning symptoms from their boneless wings and/or tater tots. The service is always great, the drinks are good. I do like the restaurant but the past two times I got extremely sick after eating there. Edit: The manager reached out to me and I have been back several times without issue :)

  • 3/5 Marilynn G. 4 years ago on Google
    Slacked on this night in Plant City, but Brandon location (Kings & Lunsden) was the bomb!!!

  • 5/5 Lali C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good food and atmosphere. The fish & chips and the Black & Blue burger are to die for, really really good.

  • 5/5 Fernando Quiñones I. 4 years ago on Google
    I have been a patron of O'Brien's for several years and have never been disappointed in what they have to offer. The food is always delicious and the beers are always cold and fresh. The staff members are friendly and the restrooms are clean and well kept.

  • 5/5 lauren p. 1 year ago on Google
    Blaine was the most amazing bartender I have had in a very long time! Very personable and excellent service. I can't wait to go back.

  • 5/5 Julia M. 4 years ago on Google
    My husband and I just love this place!! We usually come on sundays for football to sit on the patio to smoke cigars. Cortney is normally our server, always attentive and great to conversate with. Fabulous bucket specials too, although I wish you would bring back the funky Buddahs Floridian, our favorite!

  • 5/5 BE_ANGRY S. 1 year ago on Google
    Been going here for years! They all make me feel like I am part of the bar. The service is great. And food is good! Especially, the lemon pepper wings. Tamara, is the best. She keeps that place running perfectly! My only complaint is all the damn Buffalo Bills fans!!!! Lol!

  • 5/5 Ricky I. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for meet ups. Private room available. Bars and stages inside and out. Plenty of fans outside in the shade. Plenty of TVs throughout. Best part are the staff. Ash and Blayne will make your visit worth it.

  • 5/5 Anna H. 1 year ago on Google
    The owner is amazing, super genuine and open! Definitely a good place to grab a bite and a drink with great music.

  • 4/5 fanello1775 6 months ago on Google
    Great pub! Passes it a hundred times before stopping, but so glad we did. Blue cheese dip is house made. Crispy wings!

  • 4/5 Tom P. 4 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    This is a great spot, especially for Ohio State football fans. A couple things to note - for busy games, all seats get reserved and there's no room for walk in business at all. You have to reserve through the booster club, not the restaurant. The kitchen gets extremely backed up, although the food is very good for bar food. There's always the chance of a rowdy customer or two popping off and using language or behavior unbecoming, so enter with kids at your own risk.

  • 5/5 Samantha R. 4 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    My husband and I attended a surprise birthday celebration here and the food & service was great. This isn't really our type of environment to frequent, but it seemed like it had a lot to offer with both indoor and outdoor seating, live music, a jukebox, two bars, and plenty of seating. They even had a back dining area which is where we held the birthday gathering, which would be great for a live football draft.

  • 5/5 Rodney R. 3 years ago on Google

    Yummy food and big portions!

  • 5/5 April W. 3 years ago on Google
    The best bar in our area .

  • 4/5 Paul M. 5 years ago on Google
    Was here for St Patty's day. The celebration was pretty epic. They had two full stages setup in the parking lot with live music on both. They were a little close together though so the music tended to clash when both stages were playing. They had multiple outdoor bars setup and the kitchen was rocking it! They managed to keep up pretty well for the huge influx of people enjoying the day. The reduced menu for the occasion was well thought out with traditional British and Irish dishes offered as well as some twists on the favorites. Geen beer flowed and drinks were served. Prices were reasonable and they even offered free door gifts including hats, flashing beads, and other St. Patrick's accoutrements.

  • 4/5 Michael W. 4 years ago on Google
    Bar service is very good. Food is above average. The craft beer selection is t what is used to be and table service was a bit slow last time. But Great place for live music and entertainment.

  • 5/5 Rachid Z. 3 years ago on Google
    Good hang out spot in Brandon where there aren't many others. I especially love consistency with live music.

  • 5/5 Andrew P. 4 years ago on Google
    Ownership truly cares! Ashley, one of the bar managers, went above and beyond to accomodate my needs and the food was fantastic. There is a genuine feeling of love for the craft at the establishment. From the team assembled, the quality of the food, and the genuine energetic feel of the pub/restaurant. It is a welcoming, easy going pub that truly delivers on all points.

  • 5/5 Sailor M. 4 years ago on Google
