I came with a friend to O'Brien because they said this place has the best beers in San Diego. It was indeed impressive, with a wide variety of different beers to choose from. As my friend walked me through the history of their favorite place to hang out, from the beginning of this bar to its transition to the current days, I was fascinated by the tales and stories depicted on the walls of decorations. They mentioned that this was only a fraction of its origins. The place was soon filled with its loyal patrons.I also learned how O'Brien has been instrumental in pushing the brewery scene from the beginning and has helped San Diego become a brewery capital! This is what my friend shared about the hands that brought breweries to San Diego. I was amazed by the information!Usually, you would order your food and drinks and pay at the counter. However, the wonderful lady at the counter informed us that we could order our beers and meals at the table. This was a sweet deal, especially as I looked around the room filled with treasures and wonderful decorations of memorabilia. I also learned from them about the row of glass mugs hanging by the bar, reserved for regular patrons. It was pretty cool to see.

Stopped by with a buddy for the first time. I always see this place packed and can see why. They have a great selection of beers, and from the whiteboard/chalk menus, it looks like they change regularly. Like a lot of SD beer drinkers, I appreciate craft IPAs, so I was excited to see some unfamiliar names. The group inside when I went seemed to be a more mature crowd. And from the reactions I saw between some customers and servers, it looks like there are number of regulars who come in, which is a good sign to me. As for food, we got a basket of garlic parm tots and the Mo' Pastrami sandwich. Both were just okay in my opinion, I felt the sandwich was lacking something. Maybe just some spread (like the Dijon they put on it) because it was a little dry. My friend however really enjoyed it, so maybe it was just my half. We also got the buffalo chicken sandwich which I REALLY enjoyed. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the buffalo flavor was present without being too overwhelming. Overall I enjoyed my experience here and will be back for a few beers on these warm(er) summer nights.

Wing night, 6 wings for $4.50. Pretty solid. Not gourmet wings but bang for your buck. Nice vibes outside too.

Finally got to speak to Tyson, one of the owners, who made a point to stop around to tables and say Hi, and he is so nice! Service was awesome for Pliny the Younger! Food has gotten better! Love the crispy port belly chunks of deliciousness!

Went to O'Brien's for the Russian River tap takeover, and what a fantastic time. They were crazy busy but both the waitstaff and the kitchen kept up nicely. Staff was super attentive without being too over-bearing - they checked on us but not to the extent we felt rushed or being pushed along. Of course the Russian River beers were flowing and the crowd was amazing - friendly and full of laughter. The food was good and a good value. I had the pastrami sandwich; packed full of a huge amount of pastrami and perfectly toasted bread. Hubby has the smoky southwest burger which was flavorful but my husband would have liked the patty to be larger. Onion rings were good...and large portion size. All in all a fun time and flavorful food!

Great food, great service and better ambiance! We stumbled upon this pub on our way to another restaurant and couldn't resist. Ordering was easy, service at the counter was great and friendly. We got tenders, a burger, Irish fries and beer. Everything was 10/10! We sat outside and watched the game. The ambiance was great - super friendly and fun atmosphere. A+++ on the Brioche bun.

Wonderful craft beer selection with a great patio to catch some sundown rays after 6 pm. 30 craft beers on tap with many IPAs making up the list. Ordered the 1/2 pound pastrami sandwich was awesome. Good marbled meat, great bread, heaping lettuce, tomato and sauce. Key observations:Service is great. Parking is a bit of a problem, but manageable. Good Wi-Fi access.

Food is really good. Beer selection is good. Service is where this place can struggle. I just left, it's 335pm on Tuesday, and while I'm waiting to close my tab and leave, behind two guys in line at the register, the employee behind the bar says, "what are we drinking? Or are you guys just standing there for some other reason?" A patron at the bar asked, What? She said audibly, "oh not you, I was talking to the Idiots in line down there"... Not cool. That would never happen at the Regal Beagle in SD.
