    Chicken entree
    Gary P.

    Stopped downtown again at O'Bricks Pub and Martini Bar the cocktails are fantastic and priced just right the food was once again the highlight of our evening the soup of the day was an extremely tasty rich she crab soup which was very enjoyable , my partner had the special of the evening a Chilean sea bass over a light corn risotto which she said was excellent and I had the chicken entree with artichoke hearts sun-dried tomatoes overtop of garlic mashed potato's and side of sautéed spinach the kitchen and bar at O'Bricks just rocks and the professional friendly service matches which makes for a perfect evening. The dining room offers a pleasant ambiance and you will not be disappointed

    Snickerdoodle martinis
    Becca H.

    I've been here many times, as it's my dad and his wife's favorite restaurant, and they've ordered just about everything on the menu with almost no complaints. We came to celebrate my birthday on a Martini Monday, and it did not disappoint. Our server was wonderful and spent time chatting with us, which made the experience even better. The décor is always beautiful and upscale. We started with the firecracker shrimp, which was very crispy while still juicy and packed with flavor. We also may have had one too many martinis--my favorite was the pear martini (I can't remember the exact name), and the snickerdoodle martini was a group favorite. Special shoutout to the GM for letting me try his personal salmon meal. I didn't expect anything extraordinary, but it absolutely melted in my mouth.

    We were recommended this spot about 7 years ago and it is a MUST every time we come to Florida. Food is absolutely incredible, such fresh fish and quality ingredients. Bread and oil starter is perfect, and the firecracker shrimp app is our favorite! Service is so quick and friendly, you truly feel like you are at a five star restaurant without the crazy prices. If you can sit outside, definitely do! Great atmosphere!

    Short rib special
    Jamie B.

    Had a very nice lunch here today with two friends. One enjoyed the soup and half sandwich, one enjoyed the mock lobster sandwich and fries and I had the special, short ribs, potatoes and carrots. Great service and would definitely go back!

    We stopped here for lunch while in Bradenton and were pleased to find it. It was almost 1 pm and most of the tables were still occupied which is saying a lot because it's a big place. My Fish Tacos ($22) had a lot of fish plus some cabbage, cilantro and a sauce. We also had the half sandwich, half soup ($11) and a diet coke ($3). Service from Shaun P was very good. If you order the shillelagh sandwich, bring a big appetite. Atmosphere was like a big pub but the noise level was low. They have a large bar area and separate dining areas. Very highly recommended. It's near the riverwalk so finding a free, street parking spot can be a challenge but pay lots are nearby.

    Peanut butter pie

    Despite being an Irish pub by name, the selection of menu items was not specifically Irish. They did offer an outstanding shepherds pie and fish and chips, but it was the other items that were a surprise. They stuffed banana peppers were outstanding, not short jalapeños, but 6-8 inch long each with a cream cheese filling. The pesto served with dinner rolls was a surprise. They have an assortment of some of the most affordable burgers in the area, and the Parmesan red bliss potatoes were cooked to perfection. The wait staff was very responsive to our needs and we had a table of 8. The room we were seated in did not give off an Irish vibe, but was very well decorated to match the Bradenton beach area. Very nice place to spend our last evening in the area. We finished with the peanut butter pie, which did not disappoint. Would dine here again.

    O'Bricks is a premier destination for exceptional martinis and delicious cuisine. Their lunch menu features a chicken salad sandwich that is truly 'to die for,' and the monthly featured martini is always a creative must-try. With a staff that is consistently friendly and welcoming, O'Bricks has become an essential stop whenever I'm in downtown Bradenton.

    Beyond burger
    Andi P.

    5 Stars for an exceptional meal with a great atmosphere and a full martini section of the menu! We had an evening to kill in Bradenton and had a local recommend O'Bricks. As we arrived, we were excited to see outdoor seating and were able to grab our own high top outdoor table. I appreciated the lighting in the table (attached to the umbrella) and the location was great. The menu had a ton of appealing options, including a veggie burger featuring a Beyond patty, which I was stoked to see because most menus don't have great, proteinaceous options for the vegetarians. I ordered the crab cake because of all the reviews that highlight the quality and I can tell you they are spot on. It was cooked perfectly and felt substantial and uber fresh! My favorite part? The martini section of the menu! There is truly an option for everyone, whether you like gin, vodka, or tequila.they also had seasonal options! I opted for the Naked espresso martini (made with espresso, some coffee liqueur, and I opted for tequila rather than vodka). It was a bit sweet, but I think most people would love it (I'm a bitter gal!). Overall, I would definitely return and recommend this spot to others!

    The food was delicious, with a wide variety of daily specials to choose from. The martinis are excellent, and they even feature a different specialty martini each month. The service was fantastic--our servers were friendly, attentive, and very helpful. The cheese-stuffed peppers appetizer is absolutely amazing! This is one of our favorite places to eat because it's always consistently good. We've had a great experience every single time.

    Dirty Martini

    Giving this places dirty martinis a 5 star! Asked for an extra filthy martini with blue cheese olives and it was out of this world. Incredible!

    Staff including management is rude. They are old school and not welcoming. I would look for a spot that is a little more inclusive.

    I'd read mixed reviews but why pass up a casual dining place on the water?…read more I found a parking spot close by and opted to walk instead of taking the xl golf cart that they offer rides to the restaurant. It's hot out and there's a breeze and the restaurant is at a marina so lots of boats to look at while walking. When I entered the restaurant I told the desk I had a reservation and I was immediately seated. The waiter asked if I wanted a drink as he dropped off the menu and I said I'd like a minute - a place like this you really need to soak up the view. When he returned with water I ordered a draft and a couple half size happy hour appetizers to start. The oysters were good - decent size, not briny and they came with lemon, horseradish cocktail sauce and a tiny bottle of Tabasco. The conch fritters were very good, I especially liked the sauce they came with. They were crispy on the outside and soft and pretty good flavor on the inside. Decided on the fish bites appetizer for the rest of today's meal - the fish came out quick and was hot and tasted fresh. Service was great, food good.... If there's any negative it's that maybe the fryer oil is not at temp or needs changing as all the fried food seemed a little darker than I expected....still tasted good though. I'll definitely be back - had a couple good suggestions from the waiter that I can't wait to try.

    My wife and I were visiting a friend in Bradenton, and we were hungry, so we stopped by here before…read moreheading home, as I had a hankering for some seafood. We parked and walked the deck to the restaurant, we walked in and were greeted by the host, and were asked if we wanted to sit inside or out, we chose out and were led to a table on the deck, which had a beautiful view of the water, and gave us menus. Our server came and brought us water, we ordered something to drink and perused the menu. There was lots to choose from, and even though I wanted fish, I saw the burger and nearly went with that, but I decided to get the Blackened Mahi sandwich instead, I also ordered the Smoked Mahi Fish Dip as an appetizer. The fish dip came, complete with the prerequisite saltines, which I love, and while the dip was okay, it wasn't great. Not very smoky and too tuna-salady. Still, i enjoyed it, and it was a large portion. My wife ordered a burger, and they bought hers as well as my sandwich. They were both on brioche buns, and I was disappointed that the buns were not toasted- that would've made the sandwiches! My Mahi was okay, good flavor and firm flesh, I wish I had ordered black beans & yellow rice, however, as the fries were not very inspiring. We finished and got the bill, I should've asked before ordering, as the Mahi sandwich was listed as "MP," it was a whopping $28.00! While it was good, it wasn't $30 bucks good, but hey, you're paying for the view. This is a nice place inside, and the view of the water are spectacular but it is a bit pricey in my book. However, our server was awesome, as well as the staff, so I would definitely come back here.

    Date of Visit: 05/24/2026…read more It was Sunday over Memorial Day weekend and we decided to make a trip to the Ellenton Mall for the afternoon. For being the holiday weekend the traffic was mild, made it over the Skyway and to the mall in no time. After our walk around we were hungry and walk over to the cheese steak place, which is awesome by the way, but they are closed on this Sunday. Dang. That's when I remembered the place on the river. We had already been to one of them and wanted something new. And Whiskey Joe's was it. Leaving the mall and getting there was easy. And once you turn it's at the end of the road. First time here so we weren't sure of the lay-out. There is inside as well as a tiki-bar area. We made our way to the tiki bar since it was a nice day with a breeze. After sitting we were quickly attended to. However there was only the one guy running the tiki bar so we knew to be patient. After he made a round he came back and had our drinks and taking our food order. Since I had a burger yesterday, you would know this if your following me, I wanted something different. I chose the blacken chicken w/fries and the wife ordered the Caribbean salad. I really don't know how long it took to arrive, we were enjoying the view and nice breeze. Then our food came, presentation was good. I didn't take off for the fries, I'd rather have them not coated, these were like Checkers fries. Some people like them that's why I didn't take points off I still had some. Though I did like the chicken very much, it was so juicy. And Like others have noted, the blackening here is just the seasoning not the actual act of blackening. I'm still waiting to go somewhere where they actually blacken it. Now the wife just loved her salad. It too came with chicken only hers had Caribbean seasoning and juicy as well. We only stayed for lunch and a beverage. It is a great place to stop after the mall. Peace.

    First time dining here and we had a great experience overall! Plenty of parking and the restaurant…read moreitself is huge with both indoor and outdoor seating options. Service was friendly, attentive, and surprisingly fast. The seafood was fresh and delicious. The grilled oysters were plump, well-seasoned, and definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The fish tacos were tasty, and the side of fried sweet plantains was delicious. We also tried the ceviche, which was flavorful, but the portion felt a bit small for the amount of chips served alongside it. The gator bites were tough and chewy. May be more palatable if the size of the nuggets were smaller cuts. The margarita tasted good, though the alcohol was barely noticeable. Overall, a very enjoyable first visit with quality seafood, great atmosphere, and excellent service. Just be prepared for slightly pricey portions on some dishes.
