Kevin O'Bryan's

Service was magnificent, but honestly I was surprised at how flavorful the burgers were! I highly recommend this establishment for some good bar food and great surroundings.

I was visiting the Akron Art Museum on a Friday and wanted to grab some fish and chips so a quick Yelp search led me to Kevin O'Bryan's. Located South of downtown Akron just past all of the Bridgestone facilities KOB is a small dive bar on a corner. You enter through the side door and find a dark bar, which was fairly crowded, especially at the bar. Even though they put up some plexiglass barriers between tables I decided with Covid 19 it was better to sit out on the patio, which had four good sized tables. I headed out and grabbed a seat in the shade. Service was friendly, but a bit slow, probably due to the number of guests. The menu is the usual pub grub, so since it was Friday I choose the fish and chips, which is specially priced at $8.99. It took a while for the food to come out, but well worth the wait. The fish and chips comes in a basket with a nice portion of creamy crunchy coleslaw, a heaping portion of crispy battered pub fries and four nice sized pieces of fish. The fish was great, flaky cod cut thick with a nice beer batter expertly cooked. All of the food was well prepared with no surprises, just nicely made straight ahead food. They are not trying to be cutting edge or trendy. KOB has no real ambiance, other then being a dive bar, service was nice, but slow, however the food is good at a reasonable price. If you are in the area and hungry check them out.

I LOVE the burgers here. I asked to meet the cook, and he came out and introduced himself (James.) I told him the burger I'd just had, the Chipotle burger was the best I'd ever had. I think he may have blushed. :)I've tried the FPC burger with the fried egg on it, and now it's my favorite. Come on Tuesday, it's trivia night (free to play with prized) and also $5 burger night.Sometimes the regulars are loud and rowdy, so if that's not your thing, come early. :)

This is my second time eating at KOBs since coming to town for work. First time the food was amazing! That Shamrock Chicken sandwich and loaded fries is where it's at! Tried a different sandwich this time but went back for those fries... While the Notre Dame Chicken was on point, the fries this time were a huge disappointment. Having worked in the food service industry for years before a career change, and knowing my way around a kitchen, I can confidently say the kitchen just reheated a left over order from last night and sold them... Not cool. My suggestion, order the loaded fries! Just make sure you're not the first customer of the day.

Had a great time at Thursday night Karaoke. Lineup was fairly long, but quick. The bartenders are quick to refill your glass. Will return!!

With the success of the Ido Bar and Grill, Steve and Marcy did our neighborhood of Firestone Park another huge favor. They bought and redecorated a very old bar that was in dire need of either being torn down or revived. And revived they did! It is now, in my opinion, the best Irish Pub in Akron Ohio, Kevin O'Bryans. As awesome family people, the Pub is named after two of their sons. Their daughter Missy is the very capable manager.

food was ready on time. Chipotle burger is amazing. Pretzel bites are also very good.

Best salad I have ever had... Blarney!!! It is such a wonderful salad. Chicken is delicious, and the sweet pecans are delectable. Great price and portions. Love this salad. If you're a lover this is for you

This is a hidden jem . The 10 Oz steak dinner was jicy tender and cooked perfectly The real mashed taters were fluffy and flavorful and the large salad that came with it had cheese,croutons ,tomatoes and radishes with onions nicely toppped with homade white,French. The $2.99 side of fries was big enough for 3 people and were hot and mouthwatering . My wife had 3 fish tacos for o verrry reasonable price that she raved about . We also took home 12 boneless wings that were the best for only 8 bucks . The bar maid waitress was so good and friendly . The place is not real large so go early . Beer was very reasonable too Nice comfortable interior but if ur looking for a fancy place then this ain't it

Just moved to Firestone Park and wanted to check out this place! Went on a Saturday night and it was not busy, one girl was working the bar and the tables. She was super nice and attentive! I got the fish and chips and my friend got the Reuben, we both enjoyed our food very much! They have darts as well! Will be back for sure!
