    I love Irish pubs and this one has a very characteristic atmosphere to match. I went on a Friday night around 7:30 pm and by about an hour later the place started to fill up quickly, but the most interesting thing about it was that the average age of the people there was in their 20s - I've never seen so many young people in an Irish bar. I chose to sit at the bar and the bartender was very attentive, I had 2 beers and "potato skins - $11.00 tasty but lacking seasoning" and "zucchini fries $9.00 crispy and very tasty". The only problem here is finding parking nearby.

    This is such a cool bar. My friend is in town and we were walking around after eating dinner. O'Brian's plays great music and is pretty mellow. The patrons are relaxed and there to enjoy the time, not be rowdy. They are mostly in their 20's but we still felt welcome. I just had a Bud Light because I was full but I was craving a beer. My friend got the same. There was hockey and I think football on the tvs. This is a cozy place to come and enjoy a great night out. I am glad I discovered this place because I never knew it existed. I want to.come back here when in the area.

    Cozy Irish Pub in Boca Raton. Beautifully decorated for New Years and every holiday. Love O'Brian's Pub because it is a fun little place where locals go. It's place to go for drinks and food that are reasonably priced. The staff is very personable and observant. The Pub offers traditional Irish decor and a classic pub atmosphere with superior Celtic vibes. I definitely will be back soon!

    Nestled in the heart of downtown Boca Raton, O'Brian's absolutely delivers on atmosphere. We went in expecting a cozy, dimly lit Irish pub (which we love), but quickly discovered it's actually the spot where the younger crowd hangs out -- and we weren't mad about it one bit. The energy was electric. The music was straight out of the 2005-2015 era -- the kind of jams that instantly transport you back and make you want to dance all night. We were definitely one of the older couples in the mix, but honestly, that made it even more fun. The bartenders and staff were top-notch -- friendly, attentive, and clearly having a great time themselves, which added to the vibe. The decor hits that perfect balance of pub charm with modern energy, and the whole atmosphere just pulls you in. Since moving to Boca back in July, O'Brian's has quickly become one of our favorite local spots. Every visit turns into a "how is it already this late?" kind of night -- and that's when you know you've found a good place. Whether you're out for a casual drink or a fun night of nostalgia and great music, O'Brian's is a must-visit.

    Busy pub where the nearby university students go to! Has some seating inside, as well as darts but you most likely wouldnt get a game in because its always hogged by some group . I dont know if they serve food here, i usually come to get a guinness on draft! Good pour, ok price! They have a lot of different beers here

    I've always had a great service here! I've started coming here within the last year. Eric's hospitality is exceptional!!! He goes above and beyond and his service really stands out. We grabbed a table and he continued to keep up with our table with 4 tabs with zero issue at all. Professional and quick, and helpful. During the day and early evenings, O'Brian's is a great vibe, casual and chill. Slightly divey, which I like. Great place to watch the games. Later in the night, college kids tend to fill up the dance floor a bit and create a more party scene. One of the nights there was even a cover, which in this case.. did steer us away this once, BUT mostly because we weren't ready to walk into it being that busy. Great karaoke night. No matter how busy, great service and great attitudes from the bartenders. Ordered jalapeño poppers and wings last time, food was also great. Thank you Eric and O'Brian's!

    Service was fast and the food delicious, sorry no pics on the food. Joined by friends this was a fun place to eat and drink. Outside seating as well we opted to eat inside. I'd go again. Staff was friendly and helpful.

    This place has the BEST chicken caesar wrap I've ever had, and that is one of my go-to meals at a restaurant. I got a side of buffalo sauce to dip every few bites, 10/10. The fries are crispy & perfection. They had a great drink selection and tv's for watching sports. The interior was super decorated for Halloween & so cute. Parking was easy & there was plenty of other businesses near here. I will 100% be returning if I'm in the area again.

    A lil bit-o-heaven in a glass!!! Complimentary too...

    Best Local Dive in Boca Raton!!! Great atmosphere, service & food definitely a must try

    Fabulous Fish & Chip that wasn't greasy. The portion is also quite generous for the price point,…read moreso no issues there either. Plate is served with really nice Coleslaw, Tartar Sauce, Malt Vinegar and Ketchup. I think it's awesome they have the condiments served with the Dish, so you shouldn't have to ask for anything. Now I did request a side of Curry Sauce which they were happy to make from scratch and it was only a $2 upcharge, which was completely worth it, because it tasted so good with the Fish (and some of the Fries). I did see a decent selection of Draft Beers (I think 12 Taps) and I'm pretty sure the Bottle Choices are diverse enough too. Server was very attentive while there was a Dart Tournament and a fairly large Birthday Party going on simultaneously. Those variables did make seating a bit more limited, but Staff was very accommodating with my Mom using a Walker. I am only visiting to help out my Mom for a couple of weeks, but I definitely want to come back here next time I'm down. More importantly, my Mom will be back sooner with her Friends. When she is happy, I know the place is worth our Patronage.

    TRUE IRISH 2AM BAR…read more.. We're driving through West Boca Raton and had an hour to burn until dinner and searched the internet for a non-commercial pub for a couple of craft beers. Patience gets reward and we finally found this Holloway's Irish Pub off Powerline Road. Tucked away at the rear of a modern plaza against a beautiful tranquil canal. It had an inviting huge front patio with several tables. We entered as a friendly woman, later identified herself as Bertha, told us to come right inside. At first glance, I was pleasantly impressed by the real Irish interior decor which felt comfortable and cozy. Plenty of Guinness signs on the walls - beer of the Irish. Three dart boards on a wall in a side room on the right with a sign that says Dart League Nite. A good size circular bar to the left. They offer a digital jukebox and a cigarette machine for customer use. As we took a seat at the empty bar, Bertha quickly gripped the beer taps and showed us a food menu. Bertha advised that the roasted chicken wings $14.99 and the shephard's pie $16.99 were the best sellers. Actually, the menu listed several mouth watering dishes including the Irish Coffee with Jameson. They did offer good quality craft tap brews. We ordered two ice cold beers, a Barrel of Monks Single in Havana and Funky Buddha Hop Gun. Had great conversation with Bertha but had to leave for a dinner engagement. Going to return to try the chicken wings and of course the cold craft beer. The men's bathroom was very clean and included six empty beer kegs - loved the added touch. Strong 4 star rating today.

Unfortunately, it seemed like the staff didn't want us there from the beginning. We called the day before and were told they don't take reservations, which is understandable, so we assumed we might have to wait for seating when we arrived. When we got there, the hostess told us it would be "a really long time" for a table. She then asked if we could do two tables, and I said sure, even though we had kids with us ranging from 2 to 11 years old. She then asked how far apart the tables could be seated. I'm sure the servers didn't want to be babysitting, and clearly, given the ages of the kids, they couldn't be seated any farther than the table next to us lol. She then proceeded to tell us that there were two tables available, but they weren't next to each other. If we wanted to sit at completely separate tables, we would have just eaten at our own homes or gone to separate restaurants. We were then told we needed two separate servers, even though we were willing to wait longer for tables next to each other. I asked if we could have one server, and she said it wasn't possible. At this point, we were pretty irritated with feeling like an inconvenience to the restaurant, but we said whatever works best for them, we would take. Then the hostess finally seated us and she continued to be short tempered and unwelcoming. She dropped the "specials" menu on the table and quickly walked away. Her attitude made it clear that she was unhappy to be serving us and made us feel extremely unwelcome from the beginning. The server was fine and did his best to manage a large group of people and kids. However, I was taken back when I walked over to the pickup area looking for him because I wanted to order a dessert so we could sing "Happy Birthday" to my niece. I overheard the staff talking about us leaving. After spending $400 and leaving a tip, being treated like that was extremely disappointing. My family will not consider this location again because of the lack of service. Flanigan's is great, but I would recommend choosing another location.

We could still enjoy the music without it being too loud, making it easy to have a conversation. For an appetizer, we ordered the buffalo shrimp, which had just a mild kick and was very flavorful. I also had a burger with fries, and the burger was cooked perfectly. By around 9:30 PM, the outdoor area became much busier, with a younger crowd arriving, but the atmosphere remained enjoyable. Our server was attentive throughout the evening, and we never felt rushed. Overall, it was a great place to relax with friends, enjoy good food, and listen to live music. I'd definitely go back!
