As a long time customer (10 years plus) O'Brien's has a lot going for it. The staff is awesome - Great customer service. The food is awesome, priced very well for the portion size! Plus there are several food specials to choose from each night. Plenty of seating, with high and low tables throughout the place. It's a refreshing change from bars where you end up standing the entire night. There is a fireplace and games, darts, and a shuffleboard table and with music that can be played from your smart phone. A must place to stop at after work or before a Brewers game (free shuttle service is a huge plus). A ten out of ten in my book! Staff review: Joel (Owner) shows great pride in his place when speaking to him. Was bartending and serving to several people without missing a beat!!! Very personable to all customers even while running around during this very busy evening. Nena (Batender) - Bartenders don't get much better! On top of everything from food order, drinks and a few games of dice during a prior visit. Jim (Bartender) - Top notch, but not as good as Nena (haha)... Another employee that shows great pride in the place where he works! Just like every other employee that works there! Needs to become better at dice thou (haha). read more

The accommodations, Food, Service and Staff were Excellent. The owners pop in frequently and take great care of their customers. Will Definitely come back.. + it's by Wick field for a quick drink after playing sports & Will shuttle you to watch the Brewers! Damn. read more

JERK ALERT! I had dinner as I usually do several times a week at my local pub & eatery. Rick is a fricken PRICK... I'm never going there on Tuesdays again. The only thing that kept this rating from being a 1 is the lovely, sweet, charming young woman named Monique, that was waiting on me and my cuzo. Thanks sweetie... Your smile and grace make me come back! That and Ronny... He's still my fav read more

Would give this place a zero if possible. Came here with friends after a softball game. I've been here previously for the same reasons and had similar experiences. Service was/is some of the poorest I've experienced in the city. Rude and unprofessional staff and ridiculous prices makes this establishment a clear loser. I generally have a rule that no matter how bad service is I still leave a tip; however I could not justify doing that in this case. It's probably been 10 years since I've done that, but this was by far the worst service I have ever received. Receipt reads: "Your server Pamela." Absolutely dreadful. As a former executive in the industry I was appalled and embarrassed for whoever owns this establishment. Needless to say I will not be going back and will recommend that my friends and colleagues also not patronize this business. read more

I do not recommend going to this establishment for any reason. The owner, Joe, is anything but courteous. He cares more about how much he is making on drinks and not the people who want to eat dinner. Waited for hours for a table. Ended up going to Fieldhouse for the absolute best pizza!!! Stay away from O'Briens....unless it is the last place on earth to go to. read more

Stopped it with friends for a birthday get together and had a blast. They gave the birthday girl a huge thing of beer for free with a glass and a t-shirt. We ordered some apps(wings were some of the best I have had) that were reasonably priced and tasty. It was kind of busy but the service was timely and the place is big enough so we had plenty of room for the group. All in all a great time with friends!!! read more

I love that place. I live in Wauwatosa and prefer the short drive or walk to this bar over my local establishments. The beer selection Is great and the wings and all the other food I've tried is excellent. Nice friendly employees that keep an eye on my glass for refills. . Its definitely a hidden gem. read more

I'm a huge Milwaukee Brewer fan. I was turned on to Obriens by a friend that said shuttles to the home games were free and fast. She was right!!! I grabbed a microbrew tap beer(which they have many to choose from) a burger that was outstanding and away my friends and I went to the game. If your just out to watch a game they also have plenty of TV's. read more

First time here and wasn't "impressed". It was a Friday night, and we arrived around 10pm. There was a modest amount of people of diversity. First bartender we ordered from was enjoying her chewing gum; a bit unprofessional to me. We ordered food, garlic parmesan wings, cheese curds, and a fish fry (perch). The food came promptly. The fish was good, but I didn't care for the coleslaw or potato pancakes. The cheese curds were small and generic. And the wings were definitely not fresh. Some were hot some were cold. In ordering garlic parmesan we weren't expecting them to have buffalo sauce on them too. They were ok, could have been better if they were fresh. The service as a whole was fair at best. Based on the ratio of patrons to bartenders it should have been better. All in all its a nice place to sit and have some drinks. Will I go back probably. Will I be in a hurry to go back probably not. read more

Good drink specials, food and prices. The New York corn beef sandwich and onion strings are one of the best I've had in Milwaukee. Service can be a little slow sometimes but nothing bad, it's a good place to relax and hang out. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's great for any occasion and accommodates everyone in my circle of friends. The menu has a large variety of options perfect for dinner, lunch or just something to nibble on. I love the BBQ pork sandwich and the teriyaki wings. Bloody's are fantastic and they have a great selection of craft beers. I recommend this bar for a night out, to cure that hangover or to catch a ride to miller park! read more

Long day! Working since 6:30am nothing to eat since lunch. I called the bar and spoke to Jimmy. I ordered their wing special, 55 cent boneless wings. I ordered 24 teriyaki to go. Went in had a drink with Jimmy while I waited. Great Bartender. Got my wings tipped $10.00 and headed home to eat and hit the sheets. I got home and once again as this has happened before my wings were hot wings! (I don't even put tabasco in a bloody.) I called and spoke to Jimmy who offered to have me come in to replace them. Not an option at 10 at night when I have to be up at 5;30 and live about 10- 15 minutes away. That was it, just a oh sorry after that. This is the second time the non English speaking cooks have made the same error. The last time I brought it to the attention of one of the owners and was pretty much told so what did you want me to do? I guess all these years of spending money in their establishment meant nothing. So fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you! It will be a really cold day before I step foot in O'Briens again. It is now Friday the 13th one day after my original review of my experience at O'Brien's. I just got off the phone with the owner of O'Briens and we had a lengthy conversation about my experience that I posted about last night. He was extremely apologetic with what happened and left me feeling like I did matter to him! Contrary to what it may seem like from my original review I usually don't complain to the extent I did with this experience. I was so impressed at the extent the owner went to to make sure I knew how much he appreciated me. For this reason I wanted you to know that most people don't respond when they find something negative at their establishment, however the owner of O'Briens did go the extra mile, and I am very thankful he did. We have hopefully worked through my issue with yesterday's events and I can now tell you the level of customer service this owner went to indicating he not only reads what went wrong at his business but personally has the conversation with those affected to make it right. read more

Second time here, first time trying food. First time we came just had drinks and watched some football. Staff was friendly and so were the other patrons, also love the free popcorn. This time we decided to have early dinner and drink. I ordered a Captain and Root Beer (I know, weird) the bartender proceeded to tell me about their specialty root beer and gave me a taste before making the drink. That's a nice touch. We ordered fish fry and the homemade clam chowder. Picked the chowder based on the bartender's recommendation. It didn't disappoint. He also suggested the potato pancakes with the fish fry. They were decent and the fish fry was good but not great. Atmosphere is nice with a fireplace, shuffle board, old fashioned bar, nice seating and even a small skee ball machine. Overall, I really like this place. Oooo, also quite a few TVs. The two times we've come we've made "new friends". read more
