This is a classic dive bar. A bar you would go to, to see a local live band that plays original music. These places are a dying breed and need to be kept and this place is perfect. The stage is not too big but not too small. The sound is good. The bar services are great. Location is tough due to lack of parking but that is typical for the area it is in.

Great place to see a show. We saw Bask here and they rocked the house. The bartender has a tough job trying to take orders while a concert is going on. But he handled it like a champ.
Great metal environment with in your face sound in this place! I really enjoyed the whole experience here. Recommend to all.

O’Brien’s Pub in the Boston neighborhood of Allston is a fantastically grungy, no-frills, bar and small-room music venue. Some great music has come through here over the years, mostly of the local hard core variety, with the occasional national act appearance. The tiny space has a corner stage with the bar across the way where most of the seats are located. There’s a smattering of tables and seats elsewhere. No food is served here but there are plenty of options available right outside the door. Hint: if you enjoy Korean cuisine, this may be an excellent opportunity for you. Service at the bar is about as good as it gets; hard working and attentive. All the staples and more are available. Sensitive types may need a hard hat but everybody else is going to have an absolute blast.

Bar tender stole from me and overdrafted my bank account. Wouldn’t recommend

After Great Scott was lost, this is the best music venue in Allston. The sound is always impeccable and the drink prices can't be beat.

door man was NOT friendly. don't ask him any questions unless you want to feel not welcome.
Great bands, good beer, bartender looks like Dave Grohl. They have earplugs at the bar.

But the doorman was unacceptable. My face has rosacea and he thought that meant I was "under the influence of something" and sent me away. I've never had anything to drink or consume in my life, he just didn't like my face. With another doorman, I was able to attend and enjoy this place because it is straight up rock music
