Two nights in a row. Great music and fun atmosphere. If you're looking for more traditional East Coast music... this is the place. The crowd is good, all ages. Beer flows freely, and you have a good choice. Kitty vitty Fighting Irish Red was good.

Popped in on a Sat night ($10 cover), and found a spot upstairs where we could still see the band that night (Kitchen Parti, they were AMAZING, check them out).
Our server wasn't too bothered by much, pretty indifferent and probably not wanting to deal with anything but drink orders, but we wanted to try the local fare, so we ordered the chowder (STUFFED with seafood, creamy, flavorful), the cod tongues (nice batter, texture is an acquired taste), and the fish and chips (batter is a little thick, but fish is meaty and tender).
Was surprised there weren't more local ciders on tap, there's one on the menu, but the server said they only had cans of Strongbow. Overall, authentic pub experience, that was really elevated by Kitchen Parti. The pub is located conveniently on George Street if you're staying nearby.

Went on Tuesday night . Loved the live entertainment. We got screeched in ,had so.e local beers and some really good food. The moose nachos and the fish and chips were great.

I was here for the "cocktail hour" of a wedding, and liked it so much I came back the next day to grab take out too. We had everything from cod bites to bacon wrapped scallops to meatballs and everything in between. Food was excellent and service was great. The salt n vinegar chip crusted cod bites were the big winner among our crowd. Highly recommended.
I also had a moose burger! Excellently cooked and a great assortment of toppings. Will be back to try the moose nachos too the next time I'm in St. John's. Best place on the George St. strip.

Perhaps our best local eating experience in St John's last week. Musicians on stage that could have been at a concert, excellent service and local food and drink. If you're looking for a genuine Newfoundland cultural experience, O'Reilly's did it for us brilliantly on our first evening in St John's.

Great spot. Went for lunch on a Saturday. Very quiet at the time we went, but the food was surprisingly good and the service was great. Would definitely come back for the live music and dancing sometime soon.

The waiters were awesome. Very tentative. The food was ok. We wanted the jiggers dinner but it was only available on weekends. We opt for the games meat nachos and it was surprisingly good. Also at night there is live music which was a bonus.
We would visit again.
I post honest reviews and pictures of places we visit. Give me a like if you find it helpful.

If you are looking for a mood this place is that! I went there twice in one week and had a blast, the live music is super fun, strongly recommend. I didn't have the food the drinks were good, the staff was super friendly and the place is really big. You can also buy bags of potato chips with doesn't sound that exciting while sober but when you're not it's pretty amazing!

We went during the day before our flight left. The service was good and the beer cold. They have two VLT machines and we actually both won a nice little pot o' gold lol.

This was a lovely experience for us from the mainland. We had the loviest waitress Kate! She was so friendly, had great suggestions. We had the seafood chowder. The presentation was beautiful and the chowder was stuffed with so much seafood that it was both filling and delicious.. the cod’s tongues were okay but seemed over done. Still very edible. Now the bread pudding was great. Our waitress Kate was attentive but not over bearing, thoughtful and interested.
She did the “Screeched In” ceremony beautifully. The pub was fun, local musicians were really good. A super place for those of us from away to enjoy the St. John’s famous hospitality. Really great place!

O'Reilly's offers high quality live music along with excellent pub fare. Our whole group couldn't be accommodated, but, it's certainly worth a visit.
Liam Killeen
I highly recommend O'Reilly's if you want a more traditional East Coast music experience on George Street. Nothing against any of the other bars, but there's something about the ocean air that makes me want to hear fiddle, mandolin, and sing-alongs... this place delivers just that. A ton of pride and focus on local talent, and I've never seen anything but smiles on the faces of customers here. Full respect to their new post-covid staff that seem to have been able to successfully manage the George Street Fest crowd. Drinks were served quickly, and were strong. Everything about this experience was top-notch.
Katherine Wright
First time in town and wanted traditional music so was recommended this pub. Staff were friendly and informative when I called to check things out. We went on a Saturday night. Great music and yummy food (poutine with dressing, beer and bakeapple cheesecake)!
Jennifer MacLachlan
Fun evening. The lucky leprechaun was tasty. We were there for open mic night and there were some good performers. Try the moose quesadilla!
J T V
No complaints. Pub was not busy, service was good. Ordered the one piece fish and chips. Was decent. Moose burger was enjoyable according to my husband. A bit pricy. Our meal with a tip was $50+ and we only had our small entrees with water. Seems most places in St. John’s are $$$$.

My first visit to O'Reilly's, lovely establishment. Entertainment is talented and soulful. Emily, our hostess, was fabulous and quite attentive.
Caroline Friesen
Good food (loved the moose shaped pastry with the moose stew) and good music. Reason for the 4 instead of 5 rating was the music was too loud but we sat upstairs where it was better, the website had not been updated. This caused 2 disappointments - Fergus was not performing as stated and the menu had not been updated so both items that our group really wanted were not available when we got there.
Tony Penney
Six of us arrived at the upstairs patio at 7:00 sat and waited about 15 minutes for a table...reasonable wait.... however down hill after that .... we waited 20 minutes for a server to come to the table to take our drink order... then we waited another 15 or 20 minutes before the drinks arrived.... then another 20 minutes maybe 30 before someone took our food order.... and then... and we timed it, 58 minutes before the food arrived so we were in at 700 am out at 930 I believe that is a little long for a couple of fish and chips and a basket of wings, an order of nachos four drinks and two water ( no refills ) food was good ... service was not so good.
Anthony Woodford
Paid $11 for fries dressing and gravy. Which is considerably small for $11 price tag. Took forever to be served and to be refilled. Great place for a drink wouldn't recommend it for food as most of the menu was overpriced for what it was
Les Dawe
Awesome staff! Great food! And our server "Ken" is the go to guy for sure! Highly recommend the wings and nachos!
Russell Johnston
Was there with my parents that came to visit for the first time (I am Scottish and live here). Had drinks and food. All looked delicious and I had the moose spaghetti which was wonderful. Got parents screeched in and our server was attentive to my father having Alzheimer's. All in all a grand auld time and I would recommend there to anyone.
Rhona Hynes
My daughter, Karen is visiting from Edmonton.. We were on the top patio with my sister-in-law.. Beautiful sunny day.. Food was great.. Fish & chips as well as the Caesar Salad.. Cool beverages were awesome as well. Great service.. If you are downtown.. It's an area to visit🍷🍷🍷🍺🍺🍺
Cherie St. Croix
Great day/night at oriellys on Paddys Day!!! Great music, great people! Thanks so much to our server Marquita ( I think I spelled that right) who made sure we got something to eat and somewhere to eat it!!! Great service girl! Overall great place to go!!
Lila Janes
We had supper here last night and I had the best "fish and chips" I have ever tasted. My "New Fav."
Trina Wellman
Loved the place..ambiance, music...energy of the people..Everything was super until I lost my jacket...with my car keys inside :( If anyone accidentally took my Columbia jacket thinking it was yours...please return the key at least to O'Reilly's Pub..I believe their patrons are just as lovely as the place itself :)
Melody Pitts
If you have out of town guests, this is where you want to bring them for a few drinks and great music! My Husband and I recently got married at Yellowbelly Brewery and had O'Reilly's as our cocktail reception venue as part of our package. The staff were all so amazing to work with, and so accommodating! Not only was it the venue for our cocktail reception, but it then became our usual spot for drinks through out the week. Many great memories created at O'Reilly's!
Lisa Nainer
Thank you so much O'Reillys for a grand time! I enjoyed celebrating my birthday at your pub. The staff are so friendly and the service so quick! I'm going to miss the lovely live music, but I will return.
Shá Brem
Great atmosphere, food was ok but service needs to be improved. I finally had to go & get my own menu & my own condiments. If you are that busy, you need more staff as people will buy more if they can get a service person to come to their table.
