Came in for a quick drink. Front door was very nice and the bartender was quick. Couldn’t ask for more.

The key to enjoying O'Keefe's is to leave behind any expectations around ambiance and fancy frills. But it's a damn good local bar, with excellent drinks, happy hour deals, and surprisingly good bar food.

This used to be my go-to happy hour spot when I worked in the area, and it took me months before I even knew it was called O'Keefe's because there's no signage. Whatever signs exist are there to advertise the available drinks, happy hour deals, and daily specials. That, and TV screens in every corner (most plugged into the sports channels).

But don't let that fool you into thinking this is some gruff and dirty hole in the wall. Drinks are reliably good and the bartenders really know what they're doing around cocktails. Service has always been prompt, even when they're at their busiest. Best of all, whoever's in the kitchen needs some serious props because they elevate bar food to a whole new level. I've ordered wings nearly every time I've come, and you know they're good when all conversation 'round the table pivots to some version of 'How good are these wings?!' The honey garlic is easily my favorite, but I've never had a bad flavor. It seems silly to praise a bar for their fries, but they're excellent here too - starchy, screaming hot from the fryer, and perfectly salted. That said, ignore the healthier options. A Caesar salad came with just a handful of croutons and an absolute deluge of dressing that rendered the lettuce underneath nearly inedible.

The space inside is larger than it looks outside. The front area has plenty of high tables and seating by the bar, while there are lower two- and four-tops towards the back (where the air conditioning is a little better felt since they tend to keep the windows and doors wide open by the entrance). There's also a second floor space, but I've never ventured up since I've always managed to find seating below.

I haven't been here in YEARS and they need to do BETTER!How you ONLY have one bartender!During lunch/happy hour it's like she didn't notice me at first?Because she was only focused on my right side her left!Only gave me ketchup and not also salt?
I don't believe I should have to ask for a hamburger French fries order.She was nice, so I decided to give her a tip!Next time, if it's not better, not so much!

Good food and good drinks for the price. The sound system seems to have fallen on hard times. Get some new speakers!!
