Very nice neighborhood pub. I had a nice vegetarian pizza at O'Brien's as a solo diner at the bar on a Friday night arriving around 9:00pm. The bartender was quite the entertainer pouring, drawing, mixing, shaking and performing sleigh-of-hand with a butterfly-bottle-opener!

There was a Sens game in progress and the spirit of the crowd was high and infectious.

It was too loud to talk and i conducted my whole visit in gestures as i have a quiet voice.

Service was good, and buses there and back on the 112 went smoothly.

I am happy to have discovered a weekend spot in my own neighborhood. There was no sign of karaoke, tho. I guess there's none on game nights.

The only thing that discouraged me from staying later was the music which was awful disco or dance music which seemed inappropriate for a sports bar / pub. I have a very low tolerance for that type of music and i left before i was ready to, just to get away from it.

How about some nice rock music, O'Brien's, or even newer alt rock -- something with some robust guitar and feelings to it instead of that annoying saccharine disco???

I'll go back -- i'm glad i didn't let the humble exterior discourage me, it's actually quite nice inside. Perhaps an earlier visit during the dinner hour would be better for a solo experience. With soda, tax, and tip it was a very reasonable $15. Well worth the trip!!!.

Happy pubbing!
