We met a couple friend of ours here for the all you can eat brunch buffet. The food was fantastic…read more They had every type of food from clam chowder to Asian to Mexican and American and Italian as well as desserts. And everything had a really good taste to it. They also have a carving table so you can get fresh meat carved for you. We've been here a few other times just to have a couple cocktails at the bar and the service was just as perfect in the restaurant area as it was in the bar area. We sit at the bar. You don't get a few of anything much but the bar, however, for brunch, we actually got a table in the restaurant and we had a beautiful view of the marina. All in all, it was an enjoyable experience for the four of us and we will do it again. I'm writing this review in the summer 2025 and it was about $45-$49 each. I can't quite remember. Lol sorry about that but it was well worth it.

They have several booths along the window in which you can see the water and everyone out on their boats doing their thing and enjoying the sunshine in beautiful SoCal. I love me some dining with a view! They made some delicious cocktails. We haven't had a bad one yet. The food was good. My friend enjoyed her club sandwhich and potato skins. I got the lettuce wraps as I am trying to watch my carbs. The chicken was flavorful however, I only like 1 of the 3 sauces it came with (not a big deal though). They have a Sunday brunch that looked really good but we got there 30 minutes before it ended, so we will go back another time to try it. They told us the cost is $45 per person and there are unlimited mimosas available for $15.

I was born on St. Patrick's Day, so I've always had a thing for Irish pubs. Everywhere I live, I…read moreend up searching for the best local Irish pub. About 8 years ago I lived right on Main Street in downtown Seal Beach, next to Armand's restaurant, Bistro St. Germain, and O'Malley's quickly became my spot. It was easily my favorite Irish pub in Seal Beach and honestly one of the best in the surrounding cities/towns too. For me it's ALL about the food. An Irish pub has to have some legit Irish fare, and O'Malley's definitely does, but what makes this place even better is that their regular menu is just as good. The fish & chips is hands down my favorite thing on the menu. The piece of fish is INSANELY huge. We're really picky about fish & chips, especially the batter, and theirs is exactly how we like it -- super crunchy and crispy on the outside, piping hot when it comes out, and the fish inside is still nice and flaky. And the fries... I don't know what they're doing to them, but their regular fries are ridiculously crunchy and crispy. Seriously some of the best fries I've probably had anywhere. The sweet potato fries are on point too. The potato skins are another must. Probably some of the best I've had anywhere and they are LOADED. Bacon, cheese, green onions, sour cream... they definitely aren't giving you one of those sad potato skins with three pieces of bacon sprinkled on top. We brought the kids this time and they loved our fish & chips so much that we ended up having to order another order. Then we realized they actually have Jr. Fish & Chips on the kids menu, which was even more perfect. Their kids menu in general is amazing -- grilled cheese, cheeseburger, chicken tenders, hot dog, quesadilla, fish & chips, shepherd's pie, beef stew... way better than the usual couple of boring kids options. Emma and Dillon were taking care of us and were both super friendly and attentive. Even when the place was packed and there were only a couple people running around serving everyone, they were still checking on us and taking great care of the table. Hopefully I got Dillon's spelling right! It's also surprisingly perfect with kids. The ambience is exactly what we need as parents -- lively enough that the noise and hyperness from our kids just blends into the pub atmosphere , but NOT so loud that you can't actually sit there and have a normal conversation. Just really good vibes. I'm also a HUGE supporter of local, homegrown restaurants, so whenever I find a place I really like, I try to promote them however I can. On our way out, I saw this cute older Asian couple standing outside studying the menu HARD. They reminded me so much of my parents -- analyzing the prices, looking at everything on the menu, probably calculating the cost-to-dish-value ratio and comparing it to every other restaurant on the block to make sure they were getting their money's worth. They looked like they were about to walk away. I had a feeling they were Korean, so as we were walking out I said out loud, "AHHH BAEBULLEO!" (아 배불러! -- I'm so full!) and then asked my daughter in Korean if she loved the fish & chips. Sure enough, that got their attention. I told them the fish & chips was SO good and used my hands to show them how ridiculously huge the piece of fish was. They immediately seemed happy to hear it and started asking about it. We walked around Main Street for a little while and eventually passed O'Malley's again and lo and behold... THEY WENT INSIDE TO EAT. That seriously made me happy. I love seeing good local restaurants survive and do well, so if I can convince even one more table to give a place I love a shot, mission accomplished. We live down in Laguna now, so unfortunately we don't get up to Seal Beach nearly as often anymore, but O'Malley's is still one of those places we'll make the drive back to for a special occasion. Six years later and it's still one of the places I genuinely miss from living on Main Street. Huge crispy fish & chips, insanely good fries, loaded potato skins, legit Irish food, great staff, great atmosphere, super kid friendly, and a local place I'm always happy to send more business to. Definitely still one of our favorites.

I had some time to kill on a Sunday morning and decided to stop in for brunch after looking their…read moremenu up online. I'm a sucker for a good benedict, so I ordered their Irish Benedict, which is made with corned beef. This thing was loaded! It was so much food that I took about half home as leftovers. The corned beef was tender and juicy and went well with the hollandaise. I like a little more hollandaise on my benedicts, but that's personal preference. I had a tea with my meal, which was ok. I hoped that an Irish establishment would be better at handling tea than American places are, but I also understand it's a bar and most people aren't coming here to order a hot tea. There was a soccer game on when I arrived and the place was packed, but it cleared out pretty quickly once the game ended. This is a lively pub, not somewhere to come if you're looking for a quiet ambiance. That's not a bad thing, but I've noticed a few people mentioning it with surprise in other reviews so I'm pointing it out to help other people make choices in line with the type of dining experience they want to have. I personally didn't find the noise of the sports or sports fans overwhelming, and felt it added to the vibe of the place. I had one small issue while I was there and the manager was quick to make it right. I really appreciated their responsiveness and eagerness to make sure their customers are well taken care of. I will definitely be back thanks to this!

What an unexpected but delightful dining experience…read more Initially, we had our names down for a popular cafe but decided last minute to eat here for beer and burgers. Great choice. At entry, it was awkward. Bartenders/workers avoided eye contact and no greeting. I told my partner we'll just go back to the cafe for our spot bc this was so awkward. A patron heard and told us to just seat ourselves. ...had I left, I definitely would've given this place 1 stars for such awkward service .... Anyway, I'm assuming the owner, who was also at the bar gave us menus once we sat down. Ordered tuna nachos, fish tacos and a burger. Tuna nachos -surprisingly fish was fresh and tasty. This was a very tasty dish. Fish tacos, I didnt try but my partner said it was delicious and very filling. My burger, I request medium but it came out well-done. Not too big an issue since burger was still yummy. Solid dishes. Lots of regulars it seems. A great food establishment with lots of beers on tap, tv's and great window seating.

My fiancé and I were looking for a place to drink and eat before a concert and were excited to see the menu for the Auld Dubliner. We came in on a Saturday night and the place was packed! The only place with seating was in the very front of the restaurant, outside. We sat outside looking at the menu, before deciding what we wanted. There wasn't a server or water walking around, so I had gone straight to the bar and talked to the bartender. He was very sweet and tried his best to hear me. Impeccable hearing, I'd say, because it was loud in there. I ordered an IPA with fish and chips. He gave me a number, which I was grateful for to ensure they'd find me outside. I sat outside with my fiancé, and we enjoyed our time people watching. Although they were extremely busy, our food came out within 10 - 15 minutes. The fish was very good; it was crispy and flaky. Their fries were okay, and just a tad bit soggy, probably due to the temperature of the fish. My IPA was cold and good. It's your typical pub and food, but great experience to those visiting. I'll probably be back again if I happen to be back for another concert.

It was pretty much empty in the main bar area and not really full in the patio area. We didn't know what to expect on the weekend as to how busy it might be. We lucked out. Our server was great. She was very helpful when we asked about the beers on tap and offered us samplers to help make up our minds. We ended up getting the Moose Drool dark beer and just gloved it. We ordered an unusual appetizer called an Irish egg-roll. Corned beef and Swiss rolled in an egg-roll batter. These were fantastic. Really good. For our main coarse I ordered the special of swordfish wrap with steak fries. Absolutely great. My wife had the fire burger with a side of fruit. She loved it. I've seen a few negative reviews of the place but our experience was truly 5 star. Great service, great food and great atmosphere. We will absolutely be back. Well done everybody.

He double checked a 2nd time letting them know it was important and they again confirmed no dairy. When he got the rice he took one bite and he thought it tasted like it may have butter he asked again saying "this tastes like it has butter." The employee assured him saying there was no butter. My son was very hungry and so he decided to trust them and ate most of the rice cup. He started feeling sick within minutes and went up a fourth time to ask them. At that point, the employee asked the cook who informed them that butter was used. My son had been dealing with health issues the last two days due to his severe allergy. He is having difficulty breathing, in addition to all the other symptoms that come from dairy allergy. It's very sad to see him in pain knowing the restaurant did not take his allergy seriously and misinformed him. To the owners and staff members please take food allergies seriously. I inner stand people make mistakes. I hope that my son's pain will cause the restaurant to change its policy to take food allergies seriously and that the next person won't suffer. Thank you for your consideration in the request to change your business practices.

There is a big community vibe going on. We even heard about bingo night and a couple other upcoming events. We hung out in the front area near the fireplace. There are board games, as well as arcade games available to play. You can download the app to pay for song to play on the digital jukebox. Plenty of room if in the dancing mood. A couple pool tables in the back. I had no idea there was a back patio area with several standing tables and plenty of standing space. The restrooms separate the spaces. The bartenders were nice and attentive. We were served right away. Had a great time laughing, playing games, and singing to our jukebox requested songs.

The bartenders Evan and Britney were very nice and looked after me and everyone else I came up to the bar for beers, always asking if they wanted their beer green. Their food selection on that day was tremendously great. I had the corned beef on wheat bread and it was toast, toasted wheat bread to boot. With a cheese, and everything else that came with it, I was happily pleased with it all. Especially the carrot that tasted like pickled because it was laying on one. I will never forget that taste that I enjoyed so much on that day. The prices for beer are actually impressively cheap. I really have no complaints on this place and I think that what they do to get people's names on the wall for drinking 70 different beers from all around the world is really cool. I might have to try it one day. Thanks to all the people at Murphy's for putting on a great St. Patrick's Day for this fan. Oh, and by the way, they make such good popcorn.
