    two glasses of beer and a drink
    Rhonda F.

    We stopped into O'Lacy's Pub late one night after dinner. I had just gotten into Summerville to visit a friend so I was glad to see more of this cute downtown. This pub has so much more character than I expected. It feels vintage and cozy. It's super clean and offers couch seating as well as traditional bar seating. There is even a jukebox. I love it. Our drinks and beer were ice cold and delicious. The bartender was nice but didn't offer up too much attention. That's ok. We still had a nice time. I would definitely stop in again for a casual evening the next time I visit my friend who lives in town.

    Just moved to Summerville and made it into O'lacy's Pub. Our bartender Hayley was very welcoming and gave a great drink recommendation.

The server was really nice and attentive. He also provided some good recommendations for my meals. I got the fisherman's pie and the Rueben rolls. Fisherman's pie is pretty much a seafood Shepard pie. Really good and really hardy. The rueban rolls were basically egg rolls with rueban filling. Hard to go wrong when dipping something in thousand island. I also recommend trying one of the half and half beers! I had the black and blue which seemed like an odd. combination but it worked well together!

This came as a nice discovery for me as I am new to the area and still learning where the hot spots are. Inside, the restaurant feels like a traditional Irish pub: dark wood, very dim-lit, regulars pooled around the bar, weird little corners and nooks everywhere. Our server was as nice as can be. Can't go wrong with the Fried Pickles, they hit the spot and were not too breaded. Fries were great. We all ordered the Shepherd's Pie, served with a side of Irish soda bread, each $18. For what you get, I feel it's a little steep. The angus beef was seasoned and cooked beautifully, very moist and not dry at all. However, all three of our meals mostly consisted of mashed potatoes on top and an off-ratio of angus beef on the bottom. It felt unbalanced and did not have nearly enough meat, and all of us had the same experience. The potatoes were dry and not particularly impressive; I expected more from a place billed as a traditional Irish restaurant. Given that I came with two others and we all ordered the same thing, though, I didn't get to try more of their menu and I wouldn't be opposed to going back to try more items on the menu. Maybe it's just not the best thing they have.

The pretzels were fresh and savory and the Harp Lager Beer Cheese was the perfect pair to complement the pretzels. For my main course, I went with my ole faithful Irish pub meal, Fish N' Chips. I will honestly say, this was one of my favorite Fish N' Chips meals in America. I have tried Fish N' Chips while traveling in Ireland and the Fish N' Chips from O'Hara's is a solid second behind that. Our server was attentive and helped navigate us through the menu. The ambiance was that of a proper Irish Pub. Overall, I will give say O'Hara's was a PHENOMENAL choice for dinner. I will highly recommend to others who may be visiting the area.

Now mind you there were a lot of empty tables with "reserved" on them at that point. Fast forward an hour later, because we didn't get a txt from them, we went in to see what the story was. They proceeded to tell us it would be another 30 minutes. Also the seats that had "reserved" on them were still empty! They said they would take care of us, and walked us over to the bar side, and told us we would have to stand at the counter to eat! I was fuming. The other three from my party walked out, while i proceeded to tell the manager this was extremely poor service! All he could say was they were busy. I pointed out the empty tables that were empty when we first walked in an hour ago and are still empty! They finally gave us one of those tables. We were out in an hour and guess what ...... there were still empty tables with "reserved" on them! Would NOT recommend this place to anyone! My suggestion is to go someplace else!! Like I said, our waitress was extremely nice and couldn't apologize enough.

Not very good for consumer planning My friend said the fish and chips were good. There was only one person there working and it was lunchtime. The service was good, although slow. We enjoyed the cocktails and beers we had. They've got a nice stage so I'm assuming there's live music as well. We got up there and played around a bit, and the bartender had a fun time laughing at us. Maybe with a constant happy hour menu, we will try it out again!

The decor instantly makes me feel at home For those of you who don't know I am Irish. So this review is coming from the true Irish aspect!!! We went for Trivia which is on a a Wednesday night 6:30 PM. It was so much fun. no for the food, it was outstanding our table had sausage rolls to start, the dishes included Guinness burger on ashed potatoes with gravy. OMG I am still drooling. it was quite a large serving and I am happy to report. I lapped it up. My daughter had fish and chips with curry sauce on the chips. Delicious. my son had chicken curry, which was also delicious Someone else at the table had the Irish breakfast, which by the way is served all day it is massive and satisfying, tasty, fresh and has IRELAND written all over it . After dinner, we decided to have a concoction of Irish chocolate bars (made by Cadbury, not Hershey's) along with Tayto crisps. Heaven & so reminiscent of my youth at home. Several Guinness were ordered and each one was an outstanding Pint!!! It truly was a delightful time. The atmosphere and service top notch. I'm so happy this pub is close by (Brickyard Strip Mall). A very happy Irish girl last night. Well done to all involved.
