    Hazy and house old fashioned
    Amber C.

    Found this happening little spot in Jersey City! They made some great cocktails (full bar) and sandwiches. We went with burgers and steak sandwich great fries both wedges and sweet potato. Also tried a couple draft brews and a cocktail. Great selection and cozy dark sporty vibe. Service was excellent considering how busy it got. The burgers were cooked just as asked. Will definitely be back.

    I decided to give Jersey city a visit and I love it here. O'Hara's reminded me of an episode of cheers. Friendly staff, casual bar ambiance. The appetizers I tried was really good. The Philly eggrolls stole my heart. Very delicious fresh and flavorful. The honey bbq wings were falling off the bone very good wings. They have a full bar. I had Stella and a shot... so smooth. I highly recommend. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

    Came here for a quick bite, place was empty and about 6 people at the bar. However the service was a little slow. Food however came out quick but the drinks were we were waiting for. They should come out before the food but they didn't to the point I saw them just sitting at the bar waiting to be picked up. The Philly cheesesteak egg rolls were filled with so much meet and cheese and paired well with the chipotle mayo. The fried pickles were great as well. Typical sports bar vibes with creative cocktails.

    I took my good friend Arian to lunch today at O'Hara's Downtown on 1st Street, Jersey City, NJ. We had a real good time. We ordered their chicken wings, spicy chicken sandwich, a nice salad and a couple of drinks. The eatery is clean and inviting. Special thanks to personable and efficient server Jeison and Kenny. They added to the great experience we had there today.

    One of our favorite spots in Jersey city. I love the veggie burger and the cauliflower wings. Bartenders are friendly. Sports are always on. Bathrooms are clean.

    I've always heard of this place and when I finally got to trying it I was not disappointed! Everyone always talks about the wings here and sheeeeesh probably some of the best I've had in a while. I happen to stumble in during trivia night and I was just taken away with how smoothly they ran it. The staff was great and the spot wasn't too overcrowded but definitely business was booming. I can't wait to came back with friends !

    Steak Quesadilla

    无论是浪漫晚餐还是朋友聚会,都能带来一段美味而惬意的意式时光。氛围也格外热闹。餐厅内部配有多块大屏幕电视,经常播放足球、篮球等热门赛事,每当有比赛时,这里几乎座无虚席,欢呼声此起彼伏

    Buffalo Mac and Cheese
    Cherise J.

    Literally the best bar food in Jersey City Hands Down. They don't miss everything I had (nachos, Philly cheese steak/fries, mac and cheese, lava cake and their drinks) were 15/10!!!! MUST TRY!!! Definitely will be back.

    On Saturday March 19th, we came to O'Hara's. Of course, we came to watch and cheer on the PEACOCKS! Since we came early, we were able to get seats. Others had to stand to watch the game. O'Hara's isn't fancy. However, it has a lot of "Old Charm! Customer service was good and friendly! O'Hara's has two levels. We sat on the second level. The first round of drinks we're on the house. I ordered a Cabernet Sauvignon and a Guava and Lychee Martini. Surprisingly, the Cab.came from a twist off bottle. It actually was pretty decent. The Martini was definitely Fabulicious!!!! During the evening, two rounds of buffet munchies came out. The food was fair and went very quickly. The buffet consisted of meat sliders, quesadillas and buffalo chicken. The buffalo chicken was very good!!! In general, the food could've been a little warmer. At an additional price, you could order additional food from the menu. we ordered prime rib sliders. Sliders were decent but a little dry. Fries came with the order. However, the fries were way too greasy. All of Saturday evening's patrons were so pumped up watching the Peacocks play and of course win! Parking is a BIG PROBLEM in this general area. Don't even think of parking in ShopRite because I know someone who had their car towed. We used a parking app SpotHero to reserve a parking garage spot at 160 Morton Street Garage. We did get a spot, but another problem occurred. Anyway, O'Hara's is a happening place to watch sports and the St. Peter's PEACOCKS!!!

    Shepherd's pie and stew

    Food was good, service was kind and loved the atmosphere! We enjoyed our meal, grabbed the hubs a shirt and enjoyed ourselves.

    Mouse camped out around our table, no apology from the staff. Unpleasant while eating our meal.

    This is my second time at this pub. The first was almost a year ago when I found it around the…read morecorner in my little slice of Jersey City. Obviously the outside is traditional to the moon but once you go in it is a mix of character and new age bliss. They only have one happy hour special at the moment which is a beer, a burger and a shot for $10 which can't be leaked. Unfortunately I wasn't opting for the burger but I was able to get a beer and add a $2 shot to get the most bang for my buck. The tap collection is a great mix. It's one of the few places that has a a selection of local New York Piers, including harp lager, but then you always have your traditional Sam Adams, which this time was a winter white air and of course PBR. The beers come in 10 oz mugs which is an interesting size. They range from $5 to $8 at this moment. And the well liquor is not the type that will give you a headache unless you're just drinking it in excess. When I came there was no one there but it was a slow Monday. Either way the service was great. The music mix was fun and very diverse as well as they have three TVs that you can adjust. Pool tables, arcade game. Retro lounge chairs with a cute custom table. I'm a sucker for a bar where I can go by myself until the home and this one did the trick. Prices are reasonable but I miss the $3 beer days lol Since I didn't get the food and I do think the price is a bit high for the area and giving it four stars. But honestly for what it is I would pay a dollar extra for a beer here versus some other places.
