I really want to love this place. It's close to home and has a nice, neighborhood feel to it. The problem is that the food sucks. I've tried many different items - we've realized that if you come - order chicken fingers. They're delicious! It's the ONLY thing on the menu that I find not mediocre or worse. And the portion size is very generous. If you're coming just for apps, the wings are ok, the pretzel sticks are good and the mozzarella sticks are interesting (but only when they're really hot!). Still a fun place to watch a game and drink a beer, or come with a group - just don't expect much from the food. read more

This is one of our neighborhood bars and we always go when we can't decide on what to eat because they have all the typical American bar foods like wings, wraps, chicken tenders and burgers. I have never had a bad experience here and have tried the chicken wrap, pretzels, Rueben, potato skins and and spinach dip. The bar is always pretty full with people but I've never had to wait for a table when coming in on weekends between 7-9. The service could be better but honestly I don't really have high expectations because the food and drinks are so cheap. Our server on a recent visit did realize that she was doing a pretty bad job so she offered us free shots which was nice. It is also pretty great that parking is free on the street so you can avoid the Madison lot. I've seen families, dates, and just friends hanging out here so I think it's good for any type of group or occasion. It really reminds me of the type of bar my friends and I would go to in college, super cozy and laid back. I haven't been on the patio yet but I'm sure it makes for an even better experience. Definitely go here and enjoy good food in a comfortable setting. read more

O'Bryon's Irish Pub is not messing around when it claims its name as an "Irish Pub." This place is no joke. Be prepared to walk into one of the divey-est, most down to earth bars of all time. If you watch True Blood this place sort of reminds me of Merlott's in attitude. Everyone knows each other and you are treated like family. This is the place to go for any sports event, boys night out or even just lunch with the fam. I thought we came here a lot until I checked in here on yelp and literally 6 people said, "Get the Cajun wings with bleu cheese!" They were not lying. Had them salivating and rightfully so. You can get almost any flavor but the Cajun are to die for. Just spicy enough and the bleu cheese is the perfect compliment to cut the heat. Also if you go up to the patio and look to your left you see a roof filled with plastic sharks and you don't think this is normal, IT IS! They have a drink with 4 shots of vodka, sprite, and sweet and sour mix. Then they put a plastic shark in it filled with grenidine. You get it, dump the "blood" into the water and it never gets old. (Either that or I am easily entertained!) Either way this place has some of the best pub food around, great rooftop patio, and SUPER friendly service. read more

We decided to come to this spot right after work to celebrate a colleagues final day at work. Overall the atmosphere is wonderful. Very nice, clean, well lit bar. The server was very courteous and made sure he took care of us during our visit. If you're ever in the area and just want to grab a brew and some or maybe just kick back with a few friends, this is the place to be! read more

This place actually ruined my life Because their wings are SO GOOD I am forever disappointed with all other chicken wings. Every time we visit the food is fresh, delicious and predictable! 100/10 would recommend read more

Whenever I see a "Best Wings in Cincinnati" list without O'Bryon's I know the list is a piece of *#!%. That being said the spicy garlic and hot buffalo are best. The cheese sticks are also great. But the quesadilla is just fantastic (however for some reason better in house than takeout). Also can't go wrong with the Reuben, however the Reuben sliders don't carry the same level. Get a shark tank if you're in college or want to pretend. Otherwise a fairly good tap list. read more

O'Bryon's has a nice roof top seating area, but the service is slow and uneven. Good selection of beer on tap. The food is mainly the bar food you would expect, pretzel sticks with cheese, a sampler platter where the loaded potato was dry and the chicken under seasoned. The mahi in the tacos was slightly over cooked. There was just nothing that stood out in a positive way. read more

O'Bryon's Bar & Grill is neighborhood bar in the middle of O'Bryonville between Hyde Park and East Walnut Hills in Cincinnati. I met up with some co-workers after work on Friday for happy hour. Their beer selection was nothing special lots of corporate draft with a few local craft, they're a sports bar so lots of TV's, if you're looking for sports bar to watch game on the weekends good, but for bar with good local craft as I enjoy try another bar. read more

This was my first time here, and I actually only came because of the Denise Driehaus ( state rep ) Meet & Greet. A bar in an area where i can't find free parking and have to pay $1 an hour to park tends to drive me away. Since i went on a Thursday after boy's night out, i really wasn't in the drinking mood :) So i started off with a tea. Definitely not as bitter as i like it, but I'm not going to hold that against them I'm a weird tea drinker. The atmosphere was great, i love the pub feel with the wooden bench's. They are never comfortable and force you to get up and walk around to chit chat! There is 2 stories to this place, the downstairs was a happening happy hour, but we walked upstairs for the meet and greet. Boy was i in for a shocker when i saw the awesome second story outdoor seating area with another bar upstairs, awesome to the max! There was some appetizers spread out, chips and dip and quesadillas. Both were decent bar food, you never can't really go wrong with the classics. Upstairs I had an OTR and talked with Denise and listened to her campaign speech. All in all this is a nice place, when we left the smells coming from the plate on one table made be do a double take to memorize what i need to order next time. Remember those cartoons where the person is hovering from a smell and it guides them to a pie on cooling, Yeah it was almost like that. Can't wait to go back and try it! read more

O'Bryon's is your typical Irish pub and sports bar in the sense that there's beer and TVs, but not so typical in the sense that the food is actually really good. They're known for their wings, but honestly I love their wraps (California) and salads (Hyde Park), too. I firmly believe it's hard to come by a solid sports bar with decent food, and O'Bryon's continues to deliver every time I visit. I've been coming back for years (primarily to watch Syracuse games with my alumni club) because they're always so accommodating no matter how large our party is. They have an upstairs bar area that can be reserved for private parties (you just have to meet a minimum), but I've visited with my alumni club on several occasions and they've given us complimentary access to the upstairs. They even provided not one, but two bartenders, all to ourselves. The best part was there was no minimum cost, and we could cheer for our beloved Orange without any distractions. If you're looking to get a little rowdy, a fan favorite is the shark tank, although I haven't been able to find a single person who can tell me what's actually in it. read more

I came to O'Bryons and went to the upstairs bar to order a drink and some food. I ordered tater tots and then was told to leave the upstairs because there was a private party. The bartender ensured me he would come find me downstairs when they were ready. I waited for about 45 minutes and went upstairs to check on them. I could see them sitting on the counter and they were cold. The bartender apologized and offered me a free shot to make up for his mistake and then gave me a dixie cup of lemonade with no alcohol. Thanks a lot. read more

I am *okay* with O'Byron's - but I'm not ever really satisfied. We came because my mom (who loves sites like Half Price Cincy) found a deal, so we all came one Sunday afternoon when there wasn't a sports game. First, this restaurant, every time I have been, has been terribly cold. Like even my husband was cold kind of cold, and that's just abnormal. I was set on getting hot food as I was so cold, and this was mostly in July/August. First time we came in, I ended up ordering french onion soup and a grilled cheese. Both were okay - nothing I would be running back for, but also nothing I was completely disgusted by. In both cases, I make them better at home, so honestly these are two dishes I am incredibly judgmental about. We noticed they had Woodchuck in bottles, so we came back later for a drink. We came on a Saturday afternoon, and we mostly came for a snack and a few drinks. We sat at a small table, where our waitress didn't come to us for a long time. Our waitress switched throughout our time there and everything took a little too long to get (which by the end caused a lot of people waiting for tables and literally standing next to us waiting for our check to come, which was a little awkward) so we were there for I think about double the time we should have been if there was better service. We also got pretzel sticks, which came out cold and were just sub par. As a side note, there are free peanuts. And apparently there wings are decent - my dad had a few, but nothing he has ever come back for. It's definitely not an Irish place also. Other than some random shamrocks, it's just a sports bar. read more

I went to O'Bryon's to watch a playoff NFL game a few months back. It is truly as advertised, an Irish Pub. A dive bar with awesome beer specials, that has nothing to hide. The instant you walk in you'll notice there's a one inch layer of peanut shells at your feet, the smell of stale beer, and stay long enough and I'm sure Dropkick Murphy's will come up on the Jukebox. I hate the new trend of Irish Pubs that are being built that are all glitz and glam, with expensive drinks and Irish memorabilia on the wall. O'Bryon's brings it back to the classic Irish Pub. Did I mention their wings? They have a phenomenal variety of wings, and the ones that I tried, Cajun and Hot, were delicious. I highly recommend O'Bryon's for any sporting event, and be sure to partake in their wings and drink specials! read more

Great place to grab a pint. Friendly service. I love the fries and the chicken caesar salad wrap. read more

O'Bryon's Bar & Grill - Fish sandwich with Saratoga chips! Delicious! - Sports Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I should have written this review a long long time ago as this place has become "the spot" for my roommates and I. OBryons has got to have some of the best Chicken Wings in Cincinnati. It is a great place to watch all sports games and the food is all great. Servers are always nice and the people in the bar all love the place. We will continue to come to this bar for as long as we live in the Hyde park area, you just can't pass up a place like this. read more

Good was absolutely phenomenal. Ate with others and they all had the same opinion. Recommend for anyone looking for a good meal!! read more

O'Bryon's Irish Pub is the staple of O'Bryonville providing drinks & pub food at reasonable prices and usually with a smile. I lived across the street from O'Bryon's for about 3 years. Upon moving in, O'Bryon's quickly became a go-to for dining, drinking, watching sports, entertaining friends and visitors, etc. In the six years I've been going to O'Bryon's, almost nothing has changed. Similar menu, similar drinks, little change in the interiors and MANY of the same friendly waitresses. (Thought, over time, they seem to be gaining surgical cosmetic enhancements... ahem...). Downstairs is VERY pubby with wood floors, bar, HDTVs, pub tables & such. Upstairs has a second bar that is generally only staffed when the upstairs is rented out. There is also a pool table upstairs. The upstairs deck is actually quite large with lots of dining or drinking seating and a nice view of Madison Rd. & O'bryonville. I generally don't go out of my way to go to O'Bryon's, but it's still a very solid choice for Hyde Park area drinking & dining. It's deceptively spacious if the upstairs deck area is open & always has the relevant sporting event running on the big screens. If anything, O'Bryon's is Hyde Park's secret neighborhood pub & well worth a visit. read more

If you're looking for a place to hang out with friends while enjoying food and drinks, O'Bryon's is the place. Their menu is surprisingly diverse for an Irish pub and we have always been satisfied with the food, as well as the service. Parking can be difficult but we have never had too much difficulty. My favorite part of O'Bryon's is the free peanuts. There is something exhilarating to me about being able to throw peanut shells on the floor. Take that neat freaks!!! I will admit that O'Bryon's location has caused me to experience some guilt. They are located across from Bob Roncker's Running Spot. As I am sitting there stuffing my face with delicious fried food, I am able to watch running groups assemble outside. Oh well! Maybe it will provide motivation for me to go to the gym later that evening. If not, the delicious food was still worth all of the calories. read more

I love going to O'Brien's bar and grill because the people are very nice the location is great and being able to dine outside is fun!

Great wings, good beer selection. Added bonus that it's a short walk home. We love the rooftop when it's nice out.

Had lunch here over the weekend, and had never heard of the place. It's an Irish dive bar with a wide range of drinks and food. I liked that it was bar food, but also had healthier options like wraps, salads, and sandwiches. They bartenders and staff were all super friendly and gave great service. Our food was also great! They have a good drink selection if you want something to go with dinner or are just out for a night on the town. It will be fun to go back with my husband and maybe sit on the rooftop! read more

Every time I come in here I'm more disappointed than before. It's loud, noisy and the service is mediocre at best. But more importantly the food sucks. I ordered a Southwest chicken salad. It comes out in a bowl with a very small bottom. Things are not diced, making it incredibly difficult to cut and eat. Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else. You'll thank me read more

Love O'Bryon's! Their wings are the best in the city. Great beer specials, a lovely rooftop bar and free peanuts! It's a winner.

I visited Obryons last night with my husband for Ohio state game. I heard it was huge for OSU fans and it did not disappoint. Everyone is the bar cheered the whole game. Bells literally rang for every touchdown. We sat at the first floor bar the entire game and our service was amazing. Our bartender never let our drinks go empty. She was smiling and joking with us and everyone the whole time. THE WINGS are fantastic too! We will be making this our new wings spot for Ohio state games. Must visit if you haven't yet! read more

Live really close but didn't know about it until the covid lockdown, when my family got a carry out order. The wings and apps were great. Now that they're back open I've gone a bunch of times. Nice patio and bar, although not a ton of seating. Have tried most of the menu and have enjoyed everything. My only complaint is that they close too early for a bar imo. read more

Not a bad place. The atmosphere is pretty cool. We got fish tacos, they were good but the actual fish themselves were small portions compared to where we get them anywhere else. Wait staff was nice, parking ain't great. read more

I like this place. The free peanuts help satisfy the salt tooth. The food I've had there is nothing special (the turkey burger), but I am sure that the burgers are probably a little better. The salad I had was great. The drink ya gotta have is the SharkTank! I believe it's equal to 5 shots of alcohol. The drink comes with a plastic shark filled with Grenadine which looks awesome as it spews out of the sharks mouth. ha ha. I prefer sitting upstairs with larger groups and the outdoor balcony seating area will be great once this stupid cold weather goes bye bye. OH! There are two dart boards in great condition and lots of TV's to keep track of any sporting events. read more

I wandered in here with some coworkers for lunch on a Friday afternoon. We nabbed a spot in the nice sunshine on the outdoor patio upstairs. Everyone's food looked pretty good - it is basically your standard pub fare plus a little extra variety. My daily special (chicken parm sandwich) was pretty good. Nothing was food-service-y. We even had a restaurant. com coupon (go get one - and search the internet for "restaurant. com coupon" first), so we basically got beer for free. Nothing too exciting or out of the ordinary except the extremely slow service. Reasonably prompt service is required for me to enjoy the place - it ended up amounting to a 2 hour lunch break. I'm not impressed with the food, so it's not really worth the trip back. Bottom Line: I probably won't be back for the reasonable food and extremely slow service. read more

Food is excellent! Drinks are good. But I can't give anything higher than 3 stars because the staff is almost always rude and unfriendly every time I go. God forbid you ask for extra napkins or a refill. read more

In the interest of honesty, I have only been here once, and it was on St. Patrick's Day. But even on that craziest of bar days, this place managed to feel open. The waitstaff was attentive, even when they were swamped with patrons. We managed to nap a table by the window, and from there we were able to drink our green beer and watch basketball in (relative) peace. While this place purports to be an Irish bar, it's basically a sports bar, and a good one. Decent pricing, reliable food (I had the buffalo chicken sandwich--not great, but very satisfying), and lots of televisions. There appears to be a decent patio upstairs, but since that's where the bulk of the St. Pat's crowd was, I stayed away. Bottom line: I'll be happy to return here to catch another sporting event or two in the future. But I will expect it to be swamped on a Friday or Saturday night. read more

Walking into O'Bryon's, I expected to be dining in a typical bar atmosphere surrounded by sports on TV. Then the server directed us upstairs to a gorgeous rooftop patio which overlooked Madison Road: a perfect dining spot for a Saturday night. We were both craving burgers, so we went with the classic O'Bryon Burger: a quarter-pound beef patty with BBQ sauce, pepperjack cheese topped with an onion ring and fried jalapenos. Sides of sweet potato fries, seasoned fries, and kettle chips were also served up. Both of our burgers were devoured ferociously. I don't recall seeing any traditional Irish fare on the menu, so if you're craving corned beef and cabbage, look elsewhere. O'Bryon's does have a variety of other pub foods though: - Wings with 12 different kinds of sauce - Portobello burger and Black Bean burger - Beef, chicken, and pulled pork sliders - Eight gourmet salads, including Cobb and a Wedge O'Bryon's is a great space for patio dining in the summer and for those who enjoy sports pubs. Combined with our cheerful server, our dining experience made for a fun night in O'Bryonville. Cost: $10 - $15 per person. read more

Super friendly staff and a great selection of brews on tap. We rider two Truths and the keg was running low but they were quick to let us grab a seat on the rooftop deck and change the keg for us. Great day, gorgeous view, good beer: can't complain! Def will be back read more

O'Bryon's Bar & Grill - Sports Bars Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

See all

If it is not broken then don't fix it: Beer,Food,Patio and Sports. O'Bryons is a great place to go if you want to kick back watch a game or take in some sun with your lunch on a roof top. If you are a Notre Dame fan this is the place to be on those joyous and sometimes tearful Saturdays. The food here is good but I would not say it is anything out of the ordinary, just think american pub food. I will say though I am a big fan of their buffalo wings and burgers. When you first walk in you will notice large televisions lining the walls and the bar but also that it is a small area. Do not let this fool you there is another floor and a patio above you. Parking can be a bit of a hassle but my tip is to use the bank lot next door if you are visiting after seven in the evening. I do not know if this is allowed but I sure have been doing it since forever and have not had any issues. Also if you an Notre Dame Alumni and reading this. ND club meetings are held in the upstairs bar. I totally recommend coming and bring a friend. It is usually $10 for all the food and beer. Find yourself bored and want to catch a game in O'Bryonsville... this is the place to go. Go Irish read more

Need a place for good drinks and dope wings. O'bryons is what's up. I like spicy so I hit up Cajun with the Habanero ranch on the side. And you can't not do it all without a shark tank. Best combo ever read more

Only been here once, but the experience was not great. My friends and I were looking for somewhere to party on the east side, and my friend suggested O'Bryon's. I'd never been, but he assured the group it would be lively and a good time. I'm starting to doubt his party finding credentials because it was neither of those things. Maybe 20 people in the bar, and most of them were giving our group weird looks the whole time we were there. Also I'm pretty sure this is an OSU bar, which disgusts me, since OSU has no place in Cincinnati. The bartender was fine though, no gripes with the service, just not a very welcoming atmosphere when I went. read more

The only reason I went to O'Bryon's was for The Shark Tank. Its a drink that comes in a big cup, with several shots of booze, and a shark toy filled with grenadine. The drink was funny and fine but the atmosphere was rowdy and dirty. Sticky floors, loud crowds, and messy bathrooms. The novelty of The Shark Tank was enough to get me through the door but not enough to keep me there. (And now I have the cup and shark at home to make my own.) read more

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.
