The first time we came here it was a rainy night and packed. The music was going and it seemed like a local crowd. Tonight it was a little less crowded but just as lovely. The food, drinks are great. The Sunday music transports you to another place across the Atlantic. So sweet and highly recommend this place. The pork chop is a fave, as is the cottage pie and roasted chicken. You will have leftovers.

Great bar/restaurant with ornate woodwork. Plenty of HDTVs for watching games. Varied menu and great cocktail pours. I've been a regular at this location since 1991, through various ownerships and names. It's always been superb

Second time here since the new owners took over. It was crazy busy with the 49ers playoff being on. 4 of us were able to grab 2 bar highs and put them together since nobody was leaving a table until the game was over. Once we sat down, we had an extremely attentive waitress considering she was slammed with tables in the dining sections. 3 burgers and the cottage pie was had. My sister enjoyed the cottage pie. She was hoping to take some home, but finished it all. The general consensus of the 3 burgers was 3 thumbs up! Cooked and seasoned perfectly and the fries were good as well. Wish they had a better selection of beer, but the Lagunitas did the trick for me! Total for the 4 of us was $150 including tip. Considering at least 6 adult beverages were consumed, not a bad deal at all!

Incredible!!! So yummy and the ambiance is just perfect for a little date night. My partner and I randomly came across this place but man is it a gem! Totally recommend! Service is always on point too

We went here for a late lunch around 1:15pm. Service was very slow and inefficient. It took them about 40-50 minutes to actually get our food out. The food was delicious, but not worth the 50 minutes wait. They also forgot our order of pancakes

Great neighborhood joint with amazing service. We really enjoyed the calamari, the roasted half chicken and the chicken sandwich. The salmon was under cooked and the lamb shank is lacking some flavor. Would still like to try their other entrees and desserts next time.

You must try their roast chicken and pork chop! O'briens is one of the places to eat in when in Parkside/Sunset! Food is consistently amazing and delicious. My family and I eat here a lot and the establishment never disappoints! Chicken wings (sauce on side) is tasty also. I highly recommend and support!

Went out for dinner with some friends and was happy we ended up at O'briens. We had a few drinks which were very delicious and the service was EXCELLENT. We had a few appetizers which were pretty good but the star of the show was definitely the ribs. They were very tender and full of flavor. For our entrees I had the chef pasta which was very very good. Highly recommend!! We also had the roasted chicken which was also very tender and delicious. Very well seasoned & cooked to perfection. Now we made room for desert which was a strawberry crème brûlée. I can't even describe how good it is. It's very rich and creamy. It has the perfect sweetness and the texture is excellent. Will be coming back!

Don't ever come here! I don't want it to be too busy for me not to be able to get a table. We went there as a second choice because the lights were out somewhere else. Came here based on pictures alone and fact I like supporting local Irish places.This place looks very nice inside. It looks like an upscale Irish pub. Had been to Ireland and had seen some divey looking spots while there.I love the fact that they have the beers I enjoyed while in Ireland. Harp, Smithwicks, Guinness and the very hard to find Kilkenny Irish Cream, which is tied to be favorite with Guiness.My girlfriend and I got the Cottage Pie and Half Roast chicken with Burrata & Prosciutto as a starter. Cottage Pie was so good and filling. The Mash potatoes on top were creamy and delicious. The Half-Roasted chicken is amazing. It's absolutely amazing. Takes a bit to get done, around 20 minutes. But it's very well worth the wait. The sauce is just enough to be enjoyed with the dish. The chicken isn't swimming. The chicken was perfectly cooked.I will be coming back, again and again and again. If the food quality remains. Gotta keep that Chef around for a long time.

As a born and breed sunset girl aka Avenues girl. I love having this place near my moms.The bf and I went last minute after a fiasco at another restaurant and thank GOD cause this place is spectacular!! We have been for brunch before and liked it but dinner!!! The best!! The chicken is nest I've had anywhere in the world. In terms of cook and lightness. The cottage pie was good too, not exactly Shepards pie. Only critique it could have used some spice but that's personal. The staff was great, friendly fun and personable. I hate I can't remember our waitresses name. Anywho def will be back. The have 4 Irish beers on tap which the bf loved. The drinks look great. No nad things to report tbh. So we r super thrilled.

This place is great! The food is great! The service is amazing! Our sever Teresa is amazing! And I love the Irish atmosphere. We came in a Sunday and were able to listen to great Irish music and watch the NFL playoff on their five screens.
