O'Briens Irish Pub

Always is a pleasure to go to O'Briens, they have live music on Saturdays and a nice outdoor are with the coolest and funniest bartender you can ever met his name is Gino, so definitely stop buy and give them a try. Almost forgot to mention their St Patrick's party is something else!

O'Briens is more of a 2.5 to me. I've only ever been on football Sundays, so my experience is very skewed. They have an ok menu, but the food isn't great. Their beer and seltzer selection is very average for a bar like this. If you don't have much of an option (unless you're a Steelers fan), I'd recommend elsewhere!If you're a Steelers fan, you should check out the black and gold club. I'm not, but it's fun to join in some Sundays and see the excitement (even when the Steelers are playing like garbage).

This is in the same strip mall as the more fancier Sacred Pepper. Didn't realize they had live music until I found them on a Google search as one of the better ones in the Carrollwood area. Their website indicates they've been in business 24 years in Tampa!When we arrived at 7:05 pm the place was about 20% full so plenty of tables for the seat-yourself arrangement. We were surprised to see the music didn't start until 9. Went to 1am. They took a 30 minute break at 9:30 so we cashed out at that point.We started with overpriced soda at $3.50 that resulted in almost $5 for one glass when a 25% tip and tax were added. They have two types of ciders, both excellent qualities with Strongbow and the Irish brand Magners. Prices were fair.Food: I tried their Emerald Isle sandwich, which was excellent with lots of flavor. Rate it 4.5/5. It was supposed to come with a pickle spear but I don't remember there being one. Wondered why they didn't adjust the price since they charged extra for sauce as covered below. The fries were thick and rate them 3/5. My friend got the Murphy's chicken sandwich. This comes with bacon and Swiss cheese; plus fries. Also good with nice flavor. 4/5Service: Above average. The ladies were hustling and smiling as they took care of the growing requests as the place filled to capacity. Our server was always present and easy to flag down when needed. This justified the 25% tip, so nice job. Parking: plenty in the large lot.Forgot to show our server the Yelp check-in to get $5 off. Only complaints:1) they charged extra for BBQ sauce. Not only did they not tell us about the up charge but it was a small quantity that should be the same treatment as ketchup or mayo. Furthermore we held the lettuce and tomatoes, so why not be okay with a substitute sauce?2) While cleaning the table next to us they knocked the bottle of ketchup on the floor where it sat for about ten minutes. When the server picked it up she set it right back on the table without cleaning it. Hmmmm

Fun place to hang out and eat or watch some live music or a game. On Sundays this place is a "Steelers" bar, hosting their fans. They have some great live music as well. A Carrollwood staple, this place has been around for years and continues to be very popular. Friendly and efficient staff and reasonable prices. The food is excellent. Parking is available in the shopping plaza.

Consistency is the key to a good business and this place has been consistent with their service and food since the day we walked in. We find ourselves frequenting the bar on Friday after work to wind down with a beer and some chicken wings. The vibe is typically locals that are all hanging out and having good conversations OR you may find a few guys tossing a bag to a friendly competition of cornhole. If you are looking for fantastic perfectly cooked chicken wings, look no further - their sweet thai chili sauce is the best. They have live music on both Friday and Saturday night. Love this place!

Nothing g really good to say. The vibe was off. The service was minimal and the food was so average.

I flew out of Pittsburgh to Tampa on business. I wanted to make sure I caught the Steelers game. I sacrificed my sleep, and flew out of Pittsburgh at 5 AM on Sunday morning wearing my Jack Ham Jersey representing Steelers Nation to Tampa, FL where we won our last Super Bowl.I read and heard if you want to catch a Steelers game, go to O'Briens Irish Pub. I honestly didn't know what to expect. I arrived at 12:30 PM. The place was slammed with people. Apparently they have a membership that you need to be part of to watch the game in the center.I was greeted by a gentleman by the name of Dwight at the bar. He was affiliated with the Tampa Bay Lightning. He was nice, he was a Steelers fan who grew up in New Jersey, but his parents were from Penn Hills and Monroeville area. Everyone I spoke to was from Pittsburgh at some time of their lives.The service was right on target. I ordered food and it was ready immediately. The Chicken Blackened sandwich was impressive. Good Food, Good Beer. I drank Stella because they mainly have domestic only. No LandSharks :( Overall it was great service based on how busy they were. I highly recommend going here for any of your Steelers Games. #1 Steelers Bar in Tampa.

Visited here after attending a comedy show nearby on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Could hear the music beat from the parking lot. Walked into a loud and crowded place - so far so good. Nothing I wouldn't expect when visiting an Irish Pub. After a quick trip to the restroom, the four of us were able to find a table in the far back corner right next to the door going out to the patio. Little did we know, this table was something special. It actually turned all four of us invisible. Witnessed all the servers hustling to all of their tables with an abundance of drinks. The server station was literally right behind us, yet none of them could see us so it's understandable that they didn't interact with us.Witnessed about a 20-minute sound check from the band with tons of mic feedback. When the band finally did get going, the sound was way off. I'm sure for those that were actually served drinks they sounded spot on, but in fact, the sound was really bad. It's too bad too, cause they seemed like they could be a great band.We spent about 30 minutes here before realizing that this place didn't even want our money, so we departed, likely never to return again. The invisible table though was 5-stars. Who knew that technology exists!

Food was awful. Overcooked. Fries were hard and salty. I am an Irish immigrant and was hoping to taste something from home. Disappointed. The paper plates were also disappointing. We each had a meal and it was 42$. He had a burger and fries and all I had was Guinness gravy fries and mozzarella sticks. They are $12 for 6. I couldn't even eat one . They add more for credit card. I can assure you, we won't be back there. Those overcooked, over salted fries were gross. I agree with other reviewers. People vaping inside was very off putting also and the patio area stinks of stale cigarettes. And what's with the fake painted door!!!!

Bartenders constant vaping and smells like weed inside and worse on the patio. Food isn't bad. Drinks are pricey. Charge fees for credit cards.
