O'Shaughnessy's is the last dive in Old Town and it definitely lives up to your expectations! They've got killer live music, cheap drinks, pool tables, and some of the best regulars in town. If you're looking for the "fun" bar, this is the place you're looking for!!!

Local spot with live music. Friendly staff and locals! Super chilled. Upstairs is a chill spot. Downstairs is live music more social.

The Good: the food was an amazing surprise. Super delicious hamburger with a gigantic beef patty cooked to order, with fresh toppings! The onion rings are out of this galaxy tasty, best I've had all time. The cook was also super nice and customer friendly in the deli section. ?The bad: downstairs bartender has the worst customer service. She seemed more interested in her vape, stuffing a burger in her face and socializing with the regulars. Had to flag her down multiple times on a slow night with just a couple of customers throughout the bar. When I did get her attention, she was there and gone before I could complete a thought. ?

Great dive bar. I enjoy being able to grab a sandwich and fries from the deli next door.

This place is a trip back in time. If you have forgotten the joys of dive bars with live music, this place is an amazing throw back. It appears to be held together by spit, glue and the love of the staff for something long gone... the neighborhood bar. And the fact that they can keep it going in the high rent district on Kings street simply isn't plausible. Plus, The smoke, like the bars' atmosphere itself, is either an annoying bad habit, or a pitch perfect love affair with the past. It's the ultimate subjective call. You'll hate it or love it. But you owe it to yourself to check it out.

Food was A1!!! Hot and fresh. Drinks were affordable. Wasn’t a fan of the inside cigarette smoke because the smell stays in your clothes. But Would definitely go back.

One of the diviest dive bars there is- I could tell by just the outside look and the inside matched. Smoky dark corners, one bathroom out of order, pool tables and live music, for a lover of dive bars, this place was exactly what I love. Shoutout to the fairly decent prices and the great bartender downstairs- he was super kind and had great banter.

One of the best bars in Old town. I'm African American and I always feel welcome here. The Bartenders are awesome, friendly and make you feel at home. Big ups to Michelle! Great addition to an amazing staff!
Not for minorities, bartender Michelle was very rude and seemed to be high off of something. would not recommend at all.

The only dive bar you'll find in the area and it is fantastic. The drinks are great, they have a no nonsense mentality while offering great service and a welcoming atmosphere.

this is a 5 star DIVE BAR. pool tables in good condition, bar tenders are capable, selection of beers is ok, indoor smoking, live music, limited space (kind of to be expected in old town). Cleaner than the average dive bar. Not a first date spot.
