We would like to start our review off with a note for our readers: NARD Reviews prides ourself on honest reporting of establishments that we visit. With that said, there may be some jarring details that may turn some readers away. Our visit to O’Malleys started off with our Uber driver going the wrong way down a one way, and dropping us at the location. Once inside, we paid a small cover and were given an overview of the layout by a friendly man at the door. As soon as we paid, a woman approached us in a huff and threatened to “derby our ass” because the Uber driver had cut her off earlier. We went down to the lower bar area, which had a great atmosphere with live music and a bar with many great beverage options. We ordered the Irish egg rolls and fried pickles, which were delicious. Although we throughly enjoyed our food that night, it only got worse from there. Our party went upstairs to sample some of the local beverages where we were greeted by rather rude staff who sold us non-alcoholic beer without disclaiming it contained no alcohol. We ended up having to buy another round so the boys could keep their buzz going. After obtaining our ice cold brews, we took a seat on the patio. This is when the aforementioned woman came back to our table to continue threatening us. She began explaining how she owned multiple firearms and the townsfolk could quote “throw us in the nearby Missouri River and nobody would look for us.” She then went on and told a story about her son’s military experience. The story caught us by surprise because the woman used a racial slur to describe someone who destroyed her son in hand to hand combat. The only reason this obviously blackout drunk woman wasn’t kicked out was because her kids were all employees. We couldn’t ask the staff for help because they were her kids, and she was even helping out and drinking behind the bar. While referring to the local police department, she said she “had those boys trained”, but she was still trying to “break in the new chief.” As this woman told the story with such casual racism, it was hard not to notice how she did not even look at our two non-white members , even when they were addressing her. It truly is a shame that our experience at such a unique and charming establishment was soured by a patron who not only threatened our lives, but made us feel unwelcome and in desperate need of finding a way home. The one star was earned by the kind, welcoming downstairs staff and the undeniably cool interior. Here is a positive note to end on: There were no Ubers available in the area, and we ended up paying $55 for a Lyft out. Huge shoutout to Eric, our driver, who drove 30 minutes from KC to pick us up and make sure we got home safe! We can’t guarantee you will experience this same casual racism and hostility, but we felt it necessary to leave this review.

4/29/23 WHAT AN INSANELY COOL PLACE! Honestly this is a definite must experience. Excellent music & groovy vibes! There was a small cover charge. This pub gets full fast so plan accordingly, we didn't get a seat but a lot of standing room. After a day of eating and shopping in Weston this is the pub to end up at. ♥️🎶🍻

Good food, but the highlight is the pub downstairs. The Irish eggs were good. The sandwich was nice. The corn beef egg rolls were good but didn't have potatoes. They have a shop to buy drinks to take home. The pub downstairs had live music and neat history.

This place is SO CUTE! Love the aesthetic. The menus are newspapers!! They had different articles in there too it is adorable! We sat outside with our dog. 🐶Love that it’s dog friendly. The outside is large and they decor is so cute. Food was 👍 great. The cheese curds are so good! Fish and chips were great too. The Cajun chicken pasta was good but pretty Americanized lol. Overall really enjoyed this place in this cute little town.

We have eaten in both the main restaurant and in the bar area. What a cool setup! There is patio seating outside, a restaurant building, and a basement bar area. We had dinner in the restaurant one night with the kids and we loved it. The kids really enjoyed the oil lamps that were lit for us when we sat down. The atmosphere was phenomenal and we all enjoyed our food. The Irish Nachos appetizer was everyone’s favorite. The Scotch Eggs were very good too! We had a huge variety of food for dinner. Shepherd’s Pie (or Cottage Pie because it was beef), Bangers and Mash, The O’Malley Sandwich, Beef and Stout, Pasta and more. Everything was very yummy and portions were quite large. On a separate occasion for a date night, my husband and I tried out the bar area because we had heard that even just seeing it was worth the visit. It really was! The bar itself is quite small space-wise but it is well stocked with the common stuff as well as different local options. The bartender was very friendly. We ended up sitting in a booth and ordering appetizers. I grew up in Wisconsin so believe me when I say that cheese curds were amazing! They were different from what I am used to and that’s not a bad thing in this case. If you are looking for a unique and memorable experience, come here!

Always a blast coming here. Just the atmosphere is worth it! On weekends you should plan on getting there early if you want a table overlooking the stage. I would have rated the food higher, but it came out, maybe I should say, 'not as hot' as a it should have been! Still, I'll be going back

Step back into time and almost 60 feet underground into O'Malley's Irish Pub in Weston, Missouri! Sip on an adult beverage & listen to live music in a cellar built back in the 19th century. This restaurant and pub opened for business in 1842 and didn't let prohibition stop them from opening back up afterwards. Along with a unique history, the food & the drinks are spectacular! You must order the bangers & mash entrée. We also started with the cheese soup, mozzarella cheese sticks, and the flight of Weston liquors. Add this unique spot to your Kansas City bucket list today!

Fun experience and the history of this place is amazing. Staff was very friendly. Looking forward to going back on a Saturday to get a tour and experience the lower cellar.

What an unexpected and cool experience! This place is underground and reminds me of a WWII era bunker! Had one beer an ate the beef stout with mashed potatoes. The real attraction was the atmosphere. The band starts later in the afternoon. Sorry to miss it. Kudos to this Irish pub!
