Mostly older quiet crowd but one hang around will try to impress the old folks pretending to be a self-employment superhero makes up rules then forces them on people who may or may not like so unless you're a regular don't bother going in if you haven't been there in a while expect to be unwelcome

O’Briens is a small neighborhood bar with a small neighborhood feel. The staff are all amazing, friendly and inviting as are the patrons. Ed the owner comes in and hangs out with everyone and is a very cool, down to earth guy. It’s primarily a karaoke bar 5 nights a week(Wednesday-Sunday) with two awesome karaoke hosts. Every Monday night is open mic with Davey, one of the karaoke hosts. Every other Tuesday is also open mic with Denise J.
So pretty much there’s something to do at O’Briens. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to have a few drinks, sing, or play a few tunes, dance, socialize, whatever your mood is to hang at OB’s!!!
Oh yeah, on Saturday nights this awesome lady makes and brings in homemade pudding shots. All different flavors and they’re freakin amazing!!

Driven by a dozen times, finally stopped in on Paddy's. Proper dive. Clean place with friendly service and a pool table. What's not ta like? Definitely going back.

It serves a purpose. I can see the locals and regulars love this place and they were friendly and I felt safe but out of place as a first time guest. But I'm going to give it another 2 trys this weekend It's certainly not expensive and they have about 18 maybe - parking spots in back, 14 if everyone is driving a truck as was the case when I was there.

Small hole in the wall, the kind of place where you find yourself looking for nothing. Bunch of regulars enjoying beers and a smoke . lots of idle chatter.

an unpretentious hole in the wall of the best kind: cheap drinks & rich company; at least on Tuesdays when Denise is hosting the open mic... a wide variety of talent, including a magician & a gent playing Body & Soul on toy trumpet ? the last I played there...
Bring your first date here, you won’t regret it. We had a great valentine’s date here. Really know how to celebrate. Davy D slayed. Cleanliness = paramount.

TL;DR: It's a wonderful local dive, that's enough. Rough edges, but friendly, comfortable, inexpensive, and you'll feel more like your at friends basement than at a fancy polished bar. So just relax and make yourself at home.Been a few times with a friend or my wife and I always end up chatting with somebody, patrons or bartenders, every single time. Went for a karaoke night and had a blast even though I'm normally not a fan. It's very well priced, they will have something youll enjoy, and it was the cheapest Guinness in town by a long shot. Although, last I went, they took it off for the spring/summer. (-1star).It's more Irish-ish "themed". So don't expect bangers mash, wall art from the ol' country, or a fine whiskey. But again, it's a simple local for beers it's more American staples, a local brew or two, and (sometimes) Guinness.Alwayse shot specials, some rotating snacks, and for a very casual, relaxed time on your way home from work or a cheap night out for some beer. There is not a lot better you can get in Wallingford for something like this.
