Olivia was a very kind and attentive waitress. The atmosphere, especially on a summer day, was second-to-none, and the comfort food was delicious - particularly the potato and leek soup. read more

Honestly, a 3.5 place. The ambience is traditional Irish pub. We sat at the bar. Bartenders were there just doing their job. Didn't engage at all, so not the normal friendly Irish Pub. The food, fish and chips and wings. A bit greasy and wings just okay. Prices were reasonable. My over all rating. Barely met the mark. read more

Awesome spot! Came in for a pregame meal on a Saturday morning and was pretty easily able to get a table after about 20 minutes. Environment was great, plenty of fans getting ready for the game. Tons of beer on tap, and it was easy to get drinks from the bar while we were waiting. Even though the place was jammed, the staff was working really hard and was able to get our food out quickly. Our waitress was very attentive, despite how busy the place was. I had the Guinness and Jamison barbecue with sweet potato fries, which was delicious. Strongly recommend this to everyone else too. Stadium is about a 15 minute walk from here of note. Would happily come back! read more

Conor O'neill's - Guinness & Jameson BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich - Irish Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

We took our 29 year old British friend here for a drink, and they declined his ID. He was the clearly 21+ and offered two forms of ID but they said they didn't accept international IDs since people often bring fake ones? We asked what that has to do with us because it wasn't fake and completely irrelevant to our situation. The employee was clearly uncomfortable, so we asked for a manager. The manager made the poor girl come back alone and say that they wouldn't speak to us! We ended up just leaving because we didn't want to make the worker any more uncomfortable because she felt really horrible. We took our party of 10 down the street and had a blast! All in all, quite ironic for an Irish pub to not accept a foreign ID from a well above age international visitor. read more

This is one of my favorite comfort food spots in Ann Arbor. Connor O Neil's has wonderful bar food and their fisherman's pie is to die for. It's a great place to watch football games too! Having everyone cheer while they root for their team is fun. The waiters are quick to ask how you are doing, and you can also stand at the bar during game nights. The lighting is dim, but it really gives off Irish pub vibes. Love coming here for a night out. Keep an eye out for their curry fries! read more

Everything we ate was delicious. Shout out to the pretzel bites, they are top notch! Our server was a delightful young woman named Claire. She was very attentive and proactive towards our needs. Inside it is a typical Irish pub vibe, which has a soft spot in my heart. Definitely a fun spot for drinks. read more

Dropped in during a UM game and had the best experience! Claire was our server and she was exceptional-- very kind, attentive, and such a pleasure! Highly recommending giving this spot a try-- super fun ambiance, especially for game watching! read more

I drove about an hour on my birthday because this is one of the only places I could find a listing for an Irish breakfast. Turns out they're just too busy to offer their full menu this morning. I lived in NYC for over a decade, I've never heard of a restaurant saying "we are too busy to make our full menu." The staff were polite about it but it's still absurd. read more

Food This was a so-so experience. I ordered an appetizer and a dessert. The food was delicious. The Button Mushrooms, I ordered, were supper tasty; the cream sauce was the best part of it all. It came with lots of bread, which I felt was unnecessary, especially if it's meant to be served as an appetizer. Also, I felt the bread could've been fresher. The Strawberry dessert I ordered was a hearty healthy treat: minus the sugar of course. I didn't order any alcohol, though it's a pub/restaurant. I just wasn't in the mood. So, I can't contribute to the quality of the drinks. Service The service was okay. When I arrived, the female hostess (I'm assuming her position) shuffled through menus to find the cleanest menu which was still dirty in my opinion. However, the fact that she attempted ​felt nice. My waitress seemed sweet. She didn't mind replacing my glass when I noticed sanitary issues. I did feel a little put off though when I asked for sparkling water and she corrected me, calling it "soda water". Sparkling water is the traditional name of carbonated water. I understand that some call it "soda" or "seltzer" water but that's not what I'm used to. Nonetheless, it doesn't matter really; if a guest orders something and you understand, why make a deal of it? I felt that was a bit condescending. Atmosphere The setup is self-seating. The outdoor seating, which seems to be preferred by most of the restaurant's guests, could use some work. The ground is not leveled properly, which causes many of the tables to rock or be slanted. The interior was very dark but felt very Irish (of course it would). The old wood bar and seating sets the vibe. However, I do feel that the tables of the booths could be updated. read more

Conor O'neill's - Dirty Menu - Irish Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Conor's has really grown on me over the years! Good beers, and the food is better than what you imagine typical pub fare to be like. Their Irish style poutine is so good and hearty, with a solid shepherds pie mix along with the fries, cheese, and gravy. Pub wings are good too (would note that hot is not particularly hot). Michigan salad was alright - I did appreciate this was a little different than what I usually see for a Michigan salad, but maybe a little heavy handed on the creamy dressing and goat cheese. Didn't order this time, but I also like getting Fish & Chips here, especially as they have malt vinegar for the chips. A very solid option for a casual dining spot. Does sometimes get quite busy, but I think in later hours. Several years ago I went on St Patrick's Day night, and it was absolutely packed. So depending on if you like that or not, go early or later! read more

This place has really gone down hill with food quality. The portions are noticeably smaller and the fish and chips are a frozen mushy mess. Staff are usually friendly and a good atmosphere, but the food has fallen off, very disappointing. read more

The food was really good. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and awesome. Our waitress was good. I ordered the fisherman's pie. It was super delicious. I would go back there again good. Ps I like the Irish violin music read more

My wife and I stopped in for lunch on a Sunday. It was not busy. I had a Black & Tan (not well poured, ) and the potato leek soup. I love the soda bread that comes with the soup. They do the soup their own way, which I appreciate. And, for a bowl of soup for $5 (in 2023) it is one of my gems in Ann Arbor. Yummy. My kids love the Big House Burger when we come. Traditional Irish Pub which has been around enough to be getting an authentic pub feel. The tables are getting beat up, but feel solid. There are various tables for different size parties, and lots of standing room with ledges to set down a beer. It is a bit dark on the inside (as it should be), but they have added patio seating to enjoy the sun with the black and tan. Conor O'Neils is one of our Go-To s in Ann Arbor. We can generally get a table. Food is always good. Service is always good. And, they usually know how to pour a black & tan. read more

I came to this establishment with my friends after a Michigan game. My friend presented an ID from Mexico that proved that he was above 21 and able to attend the bar. Even though we were already sat at at table, upon presenting the ID, the waiter took my friends ID with her to the back of the restaurant. She came back with the manager and the manager told us that they did not accept IDs from outside of the US. I find this HIGHLY suspicious and discriminatory because I have been to the bar before with friends who were from London and other European places and they were not given any issues for presenting their "non-US" ID. very disappointed in this establishment for discriminating against my friend because we were not served just because he has a Mexican ID??? read more

5 star experience. We sat outside and the service was exceptional. The Irish poutine is amazing.

We always enjoy CO's. The atmosphere is fun, the food delicious with good portions, and the prices fare. I want to mention that we recently received great service from Sandra (on Sept. 26). My husband and I came in for apps before a Hill concert and mentioned then to Sandra that we'd be in after the concert, as well, for dinner. She served us both times and was a complete delight. We shared some about our families and just enjoyed her very much. We hope management commends her. read more

I was stopped at the back door, near the handicapped parking. A polite young man at the door asked if I had a VIP pass, and told us (in spite of my obvious handicap) that I would have to go around the block and enter from the front. That was too long a walk for me, so we left. read more

I came here with my brother and his family and my father. We met between Kalamazoo and RO. My dad got their fish and chips, we got my niece some chicken tenders (Mary's), my brother had their chicken pot pie and I ordered their turkey rueben. We sat outside in the patio, it was a beautiful summer day. What great weather for a family gathering in AA. The food came out relatively quick, we had them rush the chicken tender for my niece, she was starving and not quite hangry yet, but could turn quick. My dad, brother and niece all enjoyed their food. My turkey rueben was good. read more

Conor O'neill's - Irish Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Saw that one national reviewer said that this is the best Irish eatery in Michigan. It is not. Service was pleasant. everyone was being very responsible during the current pandemic and we at at tables in the middle of Main St. But the food was pretty average. I had a Reuben, which should be a staple for all Irish places. It was below average with little pieces of corned beef and rye bread that seemed more toasted than grilled. read more

Got the Irish Breakfast, which was good but nothing to write home about, and a couple of Guinnesses, which were better.

We revisited Conor's in Dec 2021, on a trip back to MI. I'm happy to report that it's still a great bar with plenty of beers on tap (huge variety) and all the other drinks that you could imagine. They have a full menu for lunch or dinner. We went in the middle of the afternoon while shopping, and there was plenty of room, good service and as much privacy or interaction as you might want. There's paid lot behind Conor's, and you can walk through the front or the back. It's so convenient! read more

I'll skip the potato skins next time. The Irish music Sunday night was the star of the evening. read more

Tonight was the first time going back since before the pandemic and this is one of those places that shouldn't have suffered as much as it obviously has. What used to happen a decent Shepherds Pie has become little more than beef covered in cheese. Sure it's got a great location, but boy do they need to improve the menu. read more

I stopped off here to grab a cocktail and even some cold soup on a chilly day. We sat outside and were quickly served. A browse of a menu gave me a quick selection. The potato soup really warmed me up along with a nice cocktail. The waiter was friendly and had a few recommendations. I do plan to check out this spot again in the future. read more

Conor O'neill's - Outside - Irish Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Ate dinner here the evening of 7/13 on a nice evening listening to live music outdoors but was very disappointed. I ordered a spicy chicken wrap, and sweet potato fries "cooked crisp." The fries were overcooked and not very tasty, and the wrap was not in the least bit spicy -- and the chicken was sparse and overtaken by a ton of lettuce, so I asked the waitress for hot sauce to help flavor it up a bit. I ended up with a plate full of lettuce that I had pulled out (I should've taken an "after" photo!) but did eat the few little pieces of chicken that I found and doused with hot sauce. The waitress was pleasant but seemed to not care that the wrap was a huge disappointment -- she said she would "talk to the kitchen" but never reported back to me and yet brought out the credit card machine with tip options in the high range starting at 28% as I recall. I normally tip 20% (or higher for great service) but due to the lack of concern for the mound of uneaten LETTUCE sitting on my plate and remaining fries, I wrote in a 15% tip. I just wish she had shown concern that I was unhappy with my food. read more

The service and drink options were excellent. The food on the other hand was awful. The Brie we ordered came out the consistency of string cheese, and the bread was rock hard. The Irish Boxty was essentially a plate of mush. Everything had the exact same consistency: corned beef, cabbage, and the potato pancakes. This wouldn't have been bad, except it didn't taste good either. Everything tasted as though it had been made the day before. Salads are served on the same plate as the main dish, leaving the overall effect of getting a hot salad, that slowly makes it way into the pile of mush that is the Irish boxty. The raspberry vinaigrette was inedibly tart, and contained so many seeds it needed to be chewed. read more

We came here after a bad experience at another restaurant and we were very happy we did. Had some good shareable appetizers and great drinks. Conor was very accommodating to our requests and offered us samples of beer we had never had. We would highly recommend this establishment and will definitely be making this a stop on our next visit. read more

There's no better place to gather and watch a game in Ann Arbor than Conor O'Neills. A large old wooden bar, numerous TV screens, hearty food, and attentive service make this a great spot for a game and a pint with friends. While I've passed through several times, my most memorable visit there was during the World Cup. The restaurant had their operation down to a science on that day -- several places where you could order, food that came out quickly, and plenty of seats and standing room around the screens. They had limited the number of people in the restaurant, and my friend and I were lucky enough to be the last two allowed in before they cut off for the afternoon! With a festive atmosphere, tasty fish and chips, and an array of drinks, this is one spot you'll want to visit to watch the next big game. read more

I've been to Conor's many times, mostly to drink. It's a fun venue, last night they had a Tom Petty tribute going on. Waitservice last night wasn't great, hence the 3 stars from me. We pretty much had to get our own silverware because our waiter disappeared for a while, too. Drinks are reasonably priced though (ie a vodka and Coke is $6) so it's not a bad choice for a Main St. venue. read more
