O'Sullivan's Irish Pub Escondido

Love this place. But we miss our amazing Irish bartender 😢

The service was fantastic for our large wedding party. They were able to accommodate us and our Bulk order of Jaegerbombs with very little to no wait time. They had live music in the interior and the outdoor area had plenty of space.

Stopped into a small Irish pub with coworkers who recommended it, and it didn’t disappoint. They had a solid selection of Irish draft beers and drinks, and the food was authentic and well done. I was especially glad to see boxtys on the menu—they were tasty and not something you find everywhere. A great spot for a relaxed meal and a pint.

Boiled corned beef cabbage potatoes and carrots like in Ireland so good and gluten free! Hope for more options as well!

A great authentic menu and excellent alcohol options in a nice Irish pub ambiance, including live music even on weekdays. I had the Reuben sandwich and it was very delicious. But there wasn't much meat on it and the fries, which dwarf the sandwich, look golden and crispy but were mostly too soft. I'd ask for them to be lightly well done if I get anything with fries there again.

Overall, the value is just not there. For $21.00 they could easily add a little more meat to the sandwich--like in the attached photo of a DZ Akins Reuben sandwich at about the same price. The O'Sullivan's meat is the pulled rather than sliced type, but the sliced I had is just as tasty and a bit more tender and juicy. A pint of Guiness, included in the bill with a customary 18% tip (just for pouring a pint), costs $12.40. So for a sandwich and two beers it was $50.00 not well spent.

This place has gone down hill bad. We used to go here each year for our wedding anniversary. But this year was a disappointment. We spent $84 for food that tasted really bad. I ordered the beef stew that says on the menu has chunks of beef. But no chunks just a plate of what looks like not so appetizing pile of smoosh food. I was even looking for potatoes and carrots but unfortunately there was at least 3 to 4 pieces and mind you this plate is $22. My husband ordered the boiled eggs wrapped in sausage but as you can see in the picture it just seems like one piece of boiled eggs cut in 6 slices and deep fried with a tasteless batter. It was a Thursday and initially we asked for the September 4th a Thursday special which states on the website is only $9 for wings, quesadillas. We asked the rude bartender and she said it was only for happy hours then why would it says on your website that it’s a special for a specific day and date? Bottom line she didn’t follow
What it shows on the website. She was really rude and my husbands beer glass was empty for 15 minutes 2X. She seems like very unhappy with what she was doing. She barely smiles and didn’t even try to explain anything we asked. I asked her to recommend a sweeter taste Ale and her recommendations are just wrong. She was so short that she can barely see passed the bar table. Her hair was just clamp up all crazy. It’s very unpleasant looking as a bartender. Her voice was so annoying that I told my husband let’s just celebrate our anniversary at home. That food, place and bartender just ruined our day.

Great food and drinks with awesome service in a relaxed atmosphere. Love this pub!

It's a great pub with all the usual pub choices. Fun atmosphere

Great food and beer selection, live music, quick service, very good Irish spot

Had a fantastic night listening to The Clachan Boys. Paul and Brian are great!

Try the curry fries, cooked well.

I don't drink, but they have the regular selection of soft drinks.

My favorite pub since 2010 or so. Always a great time. Hoping to go more often and also for takeout since they are one of the best restaurants in town as well. 🍀🍻💚

They used to make their burgers fresh on site, now just patties and that’s disappointed. I had the mango turkey burger and the presentation was good. Steak fries good. The turkey burger didn’t have enough dressing. I wish the staff (one person) was more engaging. It’s just a bummer haven’t been there in years. Please go back to making the awesome burger you use to have.
