O’Reilly’s Irish Newfoundland Pub

Nice rooftop

Mediocre food and poor service. The burger was tasteless and dry. The only salvation is the live music. Probably fine for drinks and music. Pass if looking for a good meal.

Friendly bar with great music and vibes.

We had the Irish mussels and a couple of drinks. There were lots of fresh mussel and they were quite tasty. It was one of the few bars that had live music mid afternoon, which was enjoyable. I would say the service was friendly and prompt, but seemed to be doing us a favor, seating us with no reservations. All in all a good experience, but might try another place next night out.

Location & Parking: easy to find and plenty of street parking.

Accessibility: the restaurant is accessible from the street but the washrooms are in the basement. I’m not sure if there are wheelchair accessible washrooms.

Aesthetics: this bar and restaurant was quite charming and had an authentic feel.

Service: all the staff were very attentive, friendly, and helpful.

Food: the menu had a great selection and the seafood was excellent.

Extras: there is live music every night. We were able to get screeched in and it only cost $15 per person, unlike other places in St John’s that charge as much as $50 if you don’t have a reservation weeks in advance.

I would recommend O’Reilly’s to anyone coming to St John’s.

Great pub. Standard food offerings. They offer a lot of live music and a fairly decent night life

Only real downside was the cash only cover. Otherwise, atmosphere was great, our server was excellent, the food was tasty and really reasonably priced (especially the 1 pc fish and chips), and the entertainment (Kitchin Parti) was great fun. I wish we'd been able to catch more of their set! Would definitely come back.

I was charged $14.95 for one glass of Pinot Grigio on our night out - Jan 4. Not impressed with this ridiculous price when this is the cost for a whole bottle of some brands! 😡

Great live music and selection of bevvies on tap. I enjoyed the Newfoundland Cider!

Everything I was hoping for in an Irish pub. Excellent music, story telling, nice ambiance, good food and laughter! I did quite a bit of search to find the right place for my appetite amongst the music venues and I am happy that I invested the time to do that. I made a reservation for a table close to the stage but I suppose that may have not been required. When we arrived, a group of musicians were jamming and playing around a large table before Fergus O’Byrne started playing his songs. Purely folklore and wonderfully performed. For the meal, I had the Veggie quesadilla which was a good portion and tasty and YellowBelly Pale Ale. It was a memorable night for sure!
