Description

Specialties

O’Brien’s Irish Pub & Grill is the brainchild of three Irish friends who met in New York and worked there together for many years. They wanted to create a neighborhood Irish bar for the people of Brandon. A meeting place where family and friends could get together and enjoy warm hospitality, high quality food, beverage and entertainment.

As part of the neighborhood Irish bar theme O’Brien’s has forged strong ties with the people of Brandon by working closely with community based events and local charity groups. We have been very successful in all these endeavors and management and staff continue to work hard to maintain the respect O’Brien’s has in the Brandon community.

If you are looking for live entertainment, good food and Irish hospitality, to meet old friends or make new ones, then join us at O’Brien’s! We look forward to becoming your regular hangout spot.

Great drinks, I like the updates to the bar. I got the buffalo chicken dip and chips it was pretty good. I would order it again. The waitress was fast.
The band they had tonight ended up just being s guitar player and singer. His drummer was in an accident do he went on alone, he was really great for going solo.

Went in there last night with my office for a networking function. I have not been there for about a year or more. I was surprised to see a lot of restoration has been done, new booths etc and it looks like they have a new menu. The three appetizers that I tried were very good. I would definitely go back there again.

If you come to Obrien’s expect what it is. It’s an Irish Pub. They have good beer… they have bar food. Not overly amazing bar food but decent enough. We had the philly cheesesteak and the buffalo chicken dip the last time we were there, they were good. It’s a fun neighborhood place. They have trivia on Tuesday nights so if you like trivia come out, it’s fun!

Obriens has a lot going on and a lot of positives. They host events, sponsor kickball in the area, represent Ohio state and Buffalo Bills for College and Pro football respectively. I’ve been in during all these events and it is a blast. The patrons are enjoying themselves, the waitresses put up with a lot of people and noise and do a hell of a job. I drive over an hour to come here and I am fine with that.

Don’t understand the shitty reviews. Food was good, beer selection was great and price was fair. Had the garlic chicken pizza, and it was on point. 2x stout on tap was cold. Service was good, live band in a Friday night, corn hole outside, free valet parking… what’s there to complain about?

Probably will never come here willingly to eat… Walked in with a tank top and it was like their entire security team ran up on me like I committed the most horrible crime and asked me to leave the shi**y bar as if they are too fancy for a tank top. Thanks but no thanks. Wouldn’t recommend to any one. You don’t treat customers like criminals for nothing.
Oh. There were a bunch of women in here while I was there with tank tops on. I guess that discrimination cause I’m a guy.

The worst service I ever had by far our waitress talked to her friends the whole time! She only came to take our order which took her 10mins plus to even approach us. Then once she took our order which I specifically ask for extra sauce on a cheese pizza it came out with zero sauce. Once she drop off the food I ask for a glass of water 15mins after I had seen her chat with her friend the whole time she comes up to us to tell us the soda machine is being clean mind you it then end of dinner service before 9:00 and I waited 30 mins for her to bringing me not a cup but a pitcher of water which was not needed (she did that so she could talk to her friend instead of checking for refills) after she came with pitcher I asked her for extra sauce and she told me yelled at kitchen for the mistake and borough me a cup of cold sauce. Now we have been sitting for 10mins after we got our to go box waiting for a check. In the the manager gave us 2 free apps our next visit we will never be back

Not a good place to have a cold beer. orders a bud light draft. it was not cold. the bartender said that’s the way draft us. I replied maybe here not at other bars there beer is cold. she said she will put ice it the beer. I said no thanks fix your tap system so it the proper temp and I will go to tadpoles wear the beer is cold.

I went here because a friend’s band was playing. I didn’t have any of the food, so I can’t comment on that. But, I did have a couple of drinks. I don’t normally drink, and these drinks were pretty good.
The service was very good, and the place was really clean inside. TVs all around, and worth the live music rocking, it was a great time. Okay, I have a biased opinion of the band. They were good though!
I was looking for a good time, late-​night at the pub, and O’Brien’s delivered. Just what you would expect from an Irish pub on a Friday night. A good time!

A few years ago this used to be my favorite bar. My friends and I would be there often for their $ 10 all you can drink on Friday Nights and would go there every Halloween and St. Patrick’s day to party. It is no longer my favorite place to go, the look has been changed drastically from a few years ago, so I no longer go 2 – 3 times a month, more like 1 – 2 times a year. The music played has also changed quite a bit, focused more on bands, I like to dance, so it’s not my thing. It’s really bright inside which compared to before, is completely different. Maybe I’m just nostalgic for the bar that once was. Their menu is pretty good. It has pizza, fish and chips, burgers, sandwiches, ect. Their fries and gravy are delicious, so are their buffalo chips. If you go to the Friday happy hour, just know that it can get pretty crazy… people go crazy with the drinking.

Great place in Brandon. Everything u can ask for from a bar. From the friendly staff to the great prices, hard to go wrong here. Ask for Betty or Crystal, best bartenders around!

Met this girl and she wanted to go there. When I first got there everything seemed fine. The bartenders were really friendly and did a great job. Next thing I know, one of the security guys tells me «She is drunk and her brother is coming to get her. I don’t know what you thought was going to happen. But it is not.» Then, he comes back with another guy and they tell me to leave and I am barred. Kicked out and barred for being there with someone they know. Really?! They would not even let me use the restroom before I left.

Amy outside during Sunday football pours a horrible mixed drink. Half of what it should be and I am a bar tender. If am lucky I received a ¾ pour. Don’t waste your money here.

I come here often for the food. I CRAVE their fish and chips… best I’ve had anywhere including Ireland. Staff are friendly and efficient. They’ve got a brand new menu with a pretty decent craft beer selection. Weekend bands are good and the dance floor is hopping. They’ve changed up a lot of stuff. Solid place for a casual good time.

I used to frequent O’Brien’s years ago. I enjoyed the casual atmosphere where you could grab some drinks and hanging with friends.
My hubbie and I stopped here w/​some friends last night and this place has really gone downhill. Other than having a decent band, there was nothing appealing about this place. The crowd there is pretty sketchy. (You could tell by the approx. 15 security guards that this place probably has trouble regularly.)
If you’re in Brandon and want a drink, I’d skip this place.

I had been to the Tampa location of O’Brien’s several time and was excited to try the Brandon spot for a work happy hour. I expected this O’Brien’s to be small, based on the location. Boy was I wrong! This place is HUGE on the inside!
The food was ok — typical bar food. I enjoy going to Irish and British pubs as my favorite drink to order is a Snakebite. When I asked for this drink, the waitress did not flinch. We had very quick service, which was surprising for such a large group during the week.
One thing that I noticed that I really like: they have events here pretty much every night. From live music to trivia to even a church group that drinks beer while talking about the Bible (I’m not kidding), there is something here for everyone.
