If you are looking for a great place to watch the game, O'Bryon's Irish Pub is an excellent choice. They have some great beer (and even a cider) on tap. They are willing to turn on just about any game. The food is delicious. Their quesadillas are huge and taste great. They are also only $5 during happy hour. It's a great deal. I would also recommend their queso and bruschetta. Their black bean burger and southwest salad are some of my favorites. The upstairs patio is a great place to watch the Reds game or enjoy the warm weather. Be careful if you go upstairs during an off time because it might take awhile to get service. Overall, it's a great place! read more

Another relaxing dinner and drinks served up by the friendly, hardworking staff of O'Bryons. Well worth the short drive from the Westside to my favorite neighborhood bar, even though it's not my neighborhood! Tonight I tried the 12 wings with medium BBQ. Hot enough to bring on a light sweat but not overpowering. Get them finished on the grill for an extra burst of flavor. And don't worry about the portion, the wings are large and easily satisfied my large appetite. read more

Great place to grab drinks and food with friends! Friendly environment, great service, and great prices for everything.

While I don' t think there's a lot that is "Irish" about this bar, it's one of my favorite places to hit up after a long day at work. They have a diverse menu of pub food, and drink specials 7 days of the week. What's not to love? Parking can definitely be difficult. There is a parking lot located behind the restaurant and there's street parking as well. It's kind of hard to access during rush hour, but I've never had too much trouble. My favorite part of O'Bryon's is the rooftop patio. There's always a nice breeze and there are plenty of big umbrellas to shade you from the sun on a hot day. The only disadvantage to sitting outside is that you can't bring the free peanuts upstairs with you! Great prices, decent food and a fun atmosphere! read more

Incredible staff. Awesome energy in this place and great food. First visit, Erica was our server and was awesome. Second visit, sat at the bar. Michael and Demi took great care of us. You must visit. This place rocks read more

I went on a search for the best hot wings in the city. While I have more to try, this so far is my number 1! Way to go guys!

O'Bryon's Irish Pub is the standard neighborhood sports bar. O'Bryon's has a full menu with decent prices, a full bar and a decent juke box. The only food I have ever had there, are the wings. The spicy garlic wings are very good, give 'em a try. O'bryon's also has a rooftop patio that is nice in the summer and offers complimentary peanuts. Having grown up in an ultra clean home, I must admit its sorta fun going to O'Bryons and throwing the peanut shells on the floor, other than that, its just average. read more

Been here several times and it's always hit or miss. We continue to go for the convince of the location and the classic food items. They have amazing daily specials and great happy hour. However, When they're busy it's a complete mess. Service is bad and food is always over cooked. read more

Went there for dinner last night, my fiancee and I both ordered the chicken tender and fries basket. We had the soft pretzel appetizer and I ordered a Smithwick's. The soft pretzels were great, tasted just like they do at the ballpark only less than half the price. The chicken tenders were outstanding and the hone mustard was the best I have ever had. The fries were pretty standard but were very hot and tasted just fine. The Smithwick's was cold, but it is kinda hard to mess up beer from the tap. The prices weren't too bad, maybe just a little pricey. Our bill was just over $25. read more

O'Bryon's Bar & Grill - Chicken tenders and fries basket - Sports Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

O'Bryon's is hands-down my favorite Bar in Cincinnati. My favorite items are the Cheese Sticks and the Spicy Garlic Wings. I used to come here every Monday for Monday Night Football with my FFL Crew. Order a Shark Attack, go to the top patio and throw your shark onto their Neighbor's Roof (OB's tradition). I will always love stopping in at O'Bryons! read more

Always liked this place & stopped there tonight for a Reuben and some basketball. Very nice to see everyone having a good time but staying safe, staying at their tables, servers wearing masks, etc. Restrooms were spotless with hands free soap & towel dispensers. Thanks for a fun dinner! read more

Word of advice. Stay away from the Shark Tank. 2+ of those things leads to bad decisions and classic quotable comments. What am I saying? Order one up, finish it quickly, order a second and let your sharks get it on. I love that this place keeps it real when it comes to the atmosphere. It's a dirty Irish/college bar so naturally they have drink specials and peanuts on the floor and plenty of TV's to watch games. The Irish could be a bit more Irish when it comes to the food and beer. No Irish stew. No corned beef and cabbage.... The cute little college aged waitress tried telling me that fish and chips was Irish though. Classic. As for food quality? Boneless wings... not bad but not great. Steak Hoagie... reminded me of the Miami Tradition up in Oxford but somewhat better which is great news. The little woman liked her Chicken Philly but raved about her first time with Saratoga Chips.... to me, they could have used some work as half of mine could have stayed in the fryer longer. All in all.... worth another trip and worth time sitting with friends having some beers and Shark Tanks. read more

I love obryons - especially in the summer when you can enjoy a bucket of beer outside! My favorite menu item is the potato skins - they are seriously awesome! They have a good fish sandwich as well. I'm excited for it to get warm again so I can go enjoy the roof top! :) Make sure you get a shark tank. :) read more

Stopped in here to try the Shark Tank drink. I don't know what I expected on a Saturday night, but my fiance and I were so annoyed by some older drunk guys (that would NOT leave us alone) that it made us want to leave. Once they finally left us alone and we got a seat at the bar, we were able to grab drinks. I was a little underwhelmed by the Shark Tank - it didn't blow me away, so I was a little disappointed. I would like to try the food sometime, and maybe get a different drink.. Overall, it was a nice bar that was a good escape from the overwhelmingly crowded downtown scene. read more

This isn't your average Irish Pub & Grill! I've been frequenting O'bryon's for years now, and everytime I stop in, i'm immediately greeted by the friendly staff and incredible aroma of the city's BEST WINGS! The place is always busy, but there's never been an issue finding a place to sit and dine. WINGS. They're WINGS are ridiculous- battered or dry rub (my personal favorite). The Spicy BBQ is a very close second for the generously size wings that are fresh and made to order every single day. They also make a homemade blue cheese dressing that is BONKERS. Even if you're not a blue cheese fan- trust me. I also can't seem to get away from the chicken fingers, omg. That said, there are healthier options and the selection on the menu is not overwhelming. They also have a signature drink called a Shark Tank. Just get one- it's fun and you can throw the shark from one rooftop to the neighboring roof. Oh, they also have a SECOND location in Newport, KY with a killer patio and the same fantastic menu! Feels like CHEERS. Food is a dream. A total staple of Cincinnati, OH (and now, KY!). read more

I wish could give NO star to this bar due to the horrible service I just received at O'Bryons. After standing at the bar staring down the FOUR bartenders who proceeded to ignore us for 25 minutes while they looked at shirts, we waited patiently for a table to free up. Once a five-person table cleared up, we promptly moved to sit down, as we understood the policy to be first-come-first-serve. However, the waitress (HardRock cafe jersey and grey leggings) came over and told us we had to get up because a couple had been waiting for that table longer. We AGAIN asked about the policy, and was told it was in fact first-come-first-serve. But apparently not in this situation. We were told to get up so that TWO men could sit at our five-person table. I will NEVER go to O'Bryons again. Worst service I've ever received. read more

Jess was the best bartender you could ever ask for! Always making sure we were okay every chance she got

I typically LOVE this place. I used to come all the time when I lived in town. Last night 8/28/2020, I had a little get together with friends since I was back in town to visit. We had a table upstairs and had some people coming and going at times, over half of us have or still are waitresses, we are understanding and patient people! Getting our waiters attention was hard enough, but any time he would come to the table he would only be there like 5 seconds and not take everyone's order. At the end of the night we got checks and everyone had a check but their were two extra that didn't belong to anyone. The waiter was extremely rude and started talking to other guests about us because we 'didn't tip well' I tipped over 20% even though he was RUDE. Other guests then started making racist remarks about my Asian friends, completely unacceptable! My friend ended up paying for two bills that didn't even belong to anyone at our table. Only giving two stars because I know times are rough right now. Honestly, so disappointed!! read more

I ordered an order of wings and tater tots to go and was given chicken tenders and fries. needless to say it was deep fried and disgusting.

Love the location of this place but seriously the service that's FOOOORRRREEEVVVVEEEERRRR....... come here if you have time to kill. Lighting a fire under the kitchen staff would be a great idea. read more

Terrible service. Hard to get a beer. Waitress did not make eye contact more interested in socializing. Food was not served at same time, even though it was ordered at same time. Food got cold while we waited for the last meal to be served. Food was great once it all made it to the take. This is just a typical bar trying to rebrand itself. Used to be much better but obviously is now under new ownership or management. Staff id's much less caring than they used to be. This place is missing the mark. read more

Food is good, but don't expect a correct carry out order. You would think it would be kind of hard to mess up bar food, but apparently it isn't. It's extremely disappointing to find that you've been given cheese sticks when you ordered cheese fries, or worse, to find that you can't eat the food you ordered because you don't eat meat and your request for no meat was ignored. read more

Ok. This must have been a fluke - I've gone back multiple times and had great experiences. Food is so yummy!

Nice place to unwind with friends and family, but it's absolutely BOGUS a business of this kind would allow its patrons to dictate which tables are reserved hours in advance of an event. Seems like a poor business practice in that one guy drinking water by himself at a six-top can hold down the table for an indefinite period of time, right? Pathetic and definitely a deterrent for groups of any size, particularly because the staff seems to be too detached to enforce house rules. read more

Note: This rating was given in consideration of O'Bryon's compared to others in its category, such as Cock n Bull, RP McMurphys, and Lulu Lemon. Here are a few reasons why O'Bryons has won my heart and sabotaged my sundays: 1) Their Sunday drink special is Jaeger, which makes a statement. One of the best parts about not being a student is that sundays are a free-for-all, though it is tough to find people in Cincinaughty who feel the same way. I'm so thankful for the first time I peeked under the O'bryons blanket and found them all hiding here. 2) The food is definitely above average for a bar - I would certainly come here just for a weekday lunch, without trying to aggressively pregame for afternoon meetings. 3) And if you're a bad orderer, you won't mind as much because of the wonderfully friendly wait staff, who seem to be enjoy their jobs much more than the clientele pregaming here on Sundays afternoons for Monday morning. 4) If you're trying to drink outside, without doing so in your apartment parking-lot, this is one of your best options in town. AND they have a quirky ritual of throwing your sharktank's shark from the O'Bryons rooftop to some stranger's rooftop. One day, that stranger will finally visit their roof and be inspired to build a jenga set out of toy sharks. Jengark?? No, Sharkenga. NO, Topanga! #boymeetssharkworld 5) I've wrote this before, and I'm not afraid to typewrite it again - between clientele, drink prices, and music, music holds the largest part in my congested bar heart. And O'Bryons delivers - last time, upstairs they were rocking Justin Timberlake pandora, and downstairs what sounded like '98's 2nd greatest songs by one-hit wonder artists. (e.g. instead of playing Mystikal's "Shake ya Ass," they played Mystikal's "Danger." #GodBlessAmerica 7) See #1-6 8) Sorry I blacked out read more

I ordered a philly Mac and cheese wrap, sweet potato fries with a jam dip and shared mozzarella sticks. They did a creative take on the cheesesticks which everyone loved! And the fries are beer battered, I believe, and tasted heavenly. Cool atmosphere and they played some good 90s music. I would definitely come again. I heard their wings are bomb and i want to try them ! read more

I wrote a review last night after visiting a chain restaurant that could not handle the crowd. Tonight I am at a local establishment that clearly outshines the chain. It's the UC/OSU game and the place is packed. This place expected the crowd, but still staffed a single waitress, a single bartender, and a bar back. Guess what? They handled the crowd with efficiency and perfect service. The waitress is running around but has kept everyone happy - even after we have moved tables and changes seats. She's keeping multiple tabs at each table and is not having a fit about it. The bartender is handling the rush and server orders without issue and there are no unhappy clients. The food is delivered quickly and tasted great! read more

We drove to O'Bryonville for a day of shopping and dining, thinking there just had to be another cute caf or bakery like the Bonbonerie that we hadn't discovered yet. After searching high and low (or more like up and down the street) we realized that our only other dining option was O'Bryon's Pub. We noticed quite a few diners on the roof-top deck enjoying the summer sun so we wandered into the Pub and were directed up the steps. We got our own menus and waited a few minutes before any server made an appearance on the deck. Our server ended up being pretty friendly and efficient though, so I won't hold that against her. O'Bryon's menu is shockingly extensive for a pub (spaghetti, salads, chicken, wraps) and even offers healthy items. I've been trying to be a little more health-conscious of late (check my reviews, I've been dining out WAY too much) so I was pleased to read that all of the pub's wraps are served on low-carb tortillas and come with a side salad, not fries or chips. My sister and I both decided on the grilled chicken wrap. It was advertised as coming with lettuce, tomato, and grilled chicken, and sounded fresh and yummy. Unfortunately for us, we forgot about the whole E-coli tomato scare going on down south so we got wraps with just lettuce and chicken. They were pretty bland, but healthy, so we stuck to them. After adding some mustard and some of the Italian dressing that came with our salad to the wrap it was actually pretty good. Our meal was pretty cheap ($18) and we were given enormous refreshing Iced-Teas in cute plastic cups bearing the name of the restaurant. They were much appreciated as the sun seemed to get closer and closer the longer we remained outside! read more

I loved this place. The chicken wings are to die for. I went here for a yelp event and enjoyed it so much I had to go back on my own. I have never been a fan of blue cheese...until now and only theirs. I wish I could have it bottled and bring it home. Then my favorite wing was the cajun one with the blue cheese dressing. It was a little crowded because the place is small but everyone was really friendly. I am so glad that I was introduced to this place. I can't wait to take a few friends next time. Oh yeah, I had a history lesson about the place which made it even better. read more

We walk in, a party of 5, got a beer from the bar. Then we waited 15 minutes for a table. No one addresses us while waiting. We sat down at a open table and the server informs us that they are not taking food orders due to the restaurant being full and the kitchen backed up... we asked another server to verify and she as well said they were not accepting orders. I have never had a restaurant refuse to put in food order due to a full restaurant. We asked how long until we could put in an order, no one got back with us for another 30 minutes, in which they were unsure if the kitchen was ready for orders... we waited and when the server came back we decided not to order food. We came from a long day at work and were really hungry, but unfortunately due to them not knowing when the kitchen would be accepting orders again we decided to leave. This was bad experience and very unprofessional... read more

We are in town for a soccer tourney and this place is minutes from out hotel at Aloft Newport. The service was extremely fast, very friendly and the food was fantastic! We sat in the dining room and the bartender noticed us trying to see a basketball game on tv and put the tv closest to us on the same game, we didn't even have to ask! We will be back! read more

I've been to O'Bryon's only once and its already one of my favorite bar food places. I keep wanting to go back. After reading reviews I followed suit and tried the Cajun wings with blue cheese. They did not disappoint. Actually they were some of the better wings I've had in a while. They were big and crispy, the dry rub was spicy, and the blue cheese was delicious and seemed homemade. I had them with the 'half and half'. Its half a chicken quesadilla and 6 wings. The quesadilla was also really good. This was the perfect meal for me. I knew I wanted the wings but I also wanted to try other food as well. I also got a basket of the onion rings for the table to share. It was a huge basket and only like $3, such a good deal. Everyone I went with absolutely loved their food. Two people had salads and one had the chicken fingers which actually looked like they were hand made, not frozen. O'Byrons also has a solid beer selection including a bunch of local beers. I live close by now, so this is going to become a go to for us. The food is very reasonably priced and the quality is so much higher then other pub type places. read more

See all

The only downside to O'Bryons is parking which is a pain in the butt and the fact that the first floor is small. The service is very good. The food is cheap & in my opinion better than Cock & Bull. At least their spinach dip nachos are better for sure. They have a nice selection of beer with a long list of imported. They also have angry orchard hard cider on tap...which gives this place more points in my book. The bathrooms are very clean. read more

This place has the best wings and best bleu cheese that I have ever had--no joke! They make their own bleu cheese and is amazing. Their wings are a great size and are always cooked to perfection! This is my fiancé's favorite place to go and he is wing-obsessed! read more

They used to be great... but ownership doesn't care anymore. Service is hit or miss (mostly miss) food quality has gone from an 8 out 10 to probably a 3. Need to mention the bathrooms, because a portalet is cleaner and better cared for read more

Great place to watch a game for a good honest price. Wendell the High Life Guy will not be by anytime soon to take back the High Life. Can't comment too much on the quality of food or beer selection. The food prices were around 7-10 bucks for regular pub grub. Didn't see a beer menu, but from looking at the taps they had some domestics, Stone, and I think some Sam Adams. Since it was a cold day, we went with the Irish Coffees to warm our hearts and minds with an Irish winter classic. The coffees were rich and creamy and had a hint of mint liqueur. The green food coloring on the top the cream was a nice touch, and for 5 bucks it was a solid choice. The hallmark of the visit was the order of chili cheese fries. My jaw dropped when I saw a serving of fries, for two none the less, for 3.50. For a dollar more, you can add cheese and turkey chili!!! Holy cow, or should I say turkey, that is a steal! And it truly was, for the portion was very large and the chili was mighty good. This quintessential neighborhood pub was covered with local sports paraphernalia and flat screen TVs. Not a bad seat in the house. The only con was the slow service, but this is something that a sports hungry cheapskate like myself can overlook. read more

I've been to O'Bryons multiple times over the years and their food never disappoints. They have a wide variety of options beyond your typical "bar food" and have several vegetarian menu choices, as well. For appetizers, I love their pretzels and warm cheese sauce. My favorite menu item is their portabella sandwich served with Saratoga chips. This place has plenty of room for groups, including an upstairs area; however, feel free to slide a bunch of tables together and hang out with your friends. Service is usually pretty good...even with a large group. This is definitely a place where you'd want to hang out if you live in the neighborhood (as my friends do that we always go here with). For those who like sports, they also have quite a few TVs where you can watcvh whatever games are showing. read more

i really like o'bryon's. good food, good price. ok service. and, as a notre dame fella, i am kinda biased because they have a nice crowd for ND games. and a lot of nice tvs. good spot. read more

I have brought my running group here for happy hour on several occasions. Service is always excellent and the have a kick butt chicken quesadilla. Their roof top patio is a great place to kick back on a lazy afternoon. And then, there is always the shark tank! read more

I was at obryons just to check out the patio before viewing an apartment I. The area. What a great deck. They also had a good beer selection. Great place to have a beer. The food looked great as well. read more
