Happy hour is 4-6. The menu is all over the place with Mexican food, Irish food, and Italian food. The tacos looked decent but we didn't actually try anything. read more

Looking for a spot near my hotel that was walking distance and found this one on Yelp. As I approached the spot and realized it was in the Holiday Inn, I almost kept walking. Glad I went inside and sat at the bar. I was quickly greeted and offered a menu. Asking about the beers on tap, the local lager was recommended and it's cold & refreshing. It was happy hour and there was a small menu with good prices, but I opted for the full menu and selected the O'Malley's Chopped Salad with Chicken. Great salad! It's been a minute since I had Green Goddess dressing. It was perfect with the salad. The interior has an old all wood feeling with the full large wood bar and tin ceiling panels. Interesting. If I am in the area in the future, I will be back. Make sure you stop by and give them a try. Enjoy! read more

Came just for drinks. No one greeted us when we arrived so we took our own seats. The bartenders were nice and the drinks were really tasty. Tried the Mary Pickford (delicious and refreshing), Whisky Lemonade (summer drink), and Last Word (savory). All were very good and would have again. Prohibition-esque era feel to the bar. read more

Excellent food and service. Prefect ending to a Blerdcon weekend. We were celebrating an end to the Blerdcon weekend and my daughter's birthday. read more

Wonderful happy hour. Tacos are really good. Service from Mauricio and Carmen was excellent and friendly. The Manager Chandra is a super nice guy. Highly recommend! read more

Servers were nice people. They did not listen to allergy concerns. Food was institutional.

I online ordered the black bean burger with fries to-go. I had a feeling there was a problem when the estimate that it would be available in 30 minutes was immediately followed by a "your order is ready for pickup" notice. It turned out to be a thin, frozen veggie patty they probably nuked for one minute, then tossed on a bun with some lettuce and one tomato slice. I had asked them to leave off the red onions, but they also left off the aioli...and any flavor. This plus a side of fries for $16?? To their credit, I asked them to add pickles. There was a side pickle cut in two pieces. Is this a regular garnish, or did they do this as a special courtesy? I don't know, but it was the only plus about this meal. read more

This is the bar / restaurant inside the Holiday Inn. The bar is great. Great bartender and service. Decent beer list. You should absolutely come have a few drinks here. The food and table service... Meh. Now, granted, we had a large group. And I'm sure that wasn't exactly easy for our server. None of us liked what we ordered. And that was even if you received what you ordered. I never even got my food. Poor quality and poor experience. read more

Restaurant attached to the hotel I was staying in. It's ok. The calamari was good, the drinks were decent and the staff was nice.

Went for my birthday dinner while in town for a convention and everything was great! Happy hour pricing is fantastic so make sure to come during happy hour! I can't find yuca fries a lot of places but they had them here and they were perfect!! Definitely a great place for a casual meal or a celebration! read more

Great service and great variety of real draft beer. Excellent options of appetizers and full meal choices! Quick and affordable meal and drink choices! Staff members that know the best beers served. read more

Yummy food in pub atmosphere and the Korean bao tacos were so good. Nice location to the hotel.

Fish and chips - 2 small pieces of fish with fries that came out of a bag - not that good and not worth $16 a plate. Wait staff was friendly or it would probably be a one star. read more

Service, food, and drinks sucked. Asked for a hand sanitizer napkin and it was from famous Dave's and had a horrible smell. They survive off from the crappy holiday inn next door. They both suck! read more

Slow service and average food was my experience. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and got a breaded buffalo chicken sandwich. Was just okay. Nothing special about the place. Unless you're staying in the hotel, I don't recommend it. read more

O'Malley's - I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and got a breaded buffalo chicken sandwich instead. It as ok. - Sports Bars Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I bought a round for 5 people including myself. The server snuck in gratuity, and got another 20% tip from me. Didn't find out until after I got my credit card statement. I should have been presented an itemized bill, that is just not right. Please be more honest. read more

After a long day of travel we decided to just stay at the hotel and eat. Not the best decision! The menu sounded appetizing, but when the food came out, it was anything but. The food that came out was not as described on the menu. We ordered a burger that was supposed to have swiss cheese, crispy onions, truffle butter, and all the fixings. We got a plain ol' burger with cheddar, lettuce, onion, tomato. We also ordered nachos and paid six dollars extra for chicken-not much chicken. But on top of that, what little cheese there was, was not melted and they left off the aioli that was supposed to be on it. The cook came out and said the burger was how we ordered it. And we said we ordered what was on the menu with no subs/changes. She blamed it on the waitress. She was trying to push the issue and press us to order more/different food. The reason for the 2 stars was because the waitress was really sweet and accommodating-even after being blamed-by the cook-for the bad food. I would stay away from this place. read more

O'Malley's - We ordered the "Potomac Social Tavern Burger", this is what we got, lol - Sports Bars Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

In the name of "research" and "building my list" of Irish bars (please visualize me making the Chandler from Friends hand quotes here) I checked this place out. It is right in Crystal City down the street from the Sheraton and not too far from Legal and Ruth Chris. If you having dinner at either of those places or one of the other tasty spots close by, I would recommend this place for drinks beforehand or after wards. O'Malley's is your typical Irish pub type place. They serve American food, not Irish. Bummer. Big cheese factor- on the menu the items are listed with corny names like "Leprechaun Wings" which are just chicken wings. This is a great spot to watch a sports game, especially if is NBA or NCAA hoops (which the crowd leans towards). They have high def televisions, dudes. read more

Food was 7/10 service was ehh . Server dropped off our food and didn't check up on us until we were done eating , interior is plain

Inside the Holiday Inn. Staff is friendly but not very fast. Place was pretty slow even during opening game of the World Series. Limited selection of draft beer although they do have nice glassware. Interestingly, 1/3 of the people at the bar as customers were actually Irish but none of the staff were. Seven bucks for a 12 ounce Sam Adams. It is not bad but I wouldn't enthusiastically recommend this spot for people not staying in the hotel. read more

O'Malley's - The sign on the side if the Holiday Inn. - Sports Bars Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

This restaurant sits right next to the Holiday Inn property and is their lunch / dinner venue opposite their Fresh Kitchen breakfast establishment. Despite the Irish name, none of the staff are that I could tell, but that's more of less what I expect around the DC area. The bar area was packed with visitors the night I arrived, so it was on the noisy side if you're looking to conduct a business meeting, but a welcome white noise when you're traveling solo for work. My waiter didn't speak very much but he seated me right away and was nothing but kind throughout my stay. The wait staff monitor the dining room from behind the bar, so you have to catch their eye and flag them down to get a re-fill, but I prefer that kind of service versus having someone hovering at my table. I hadn't eaten much that day so I ordered the Shepherd Pie, which is huge for only $10. It was still bubbling when it arrived at my table. It must be rich, as well, because I felt quite heavy the next couple of days but has a great sauce and tender meat with vegetables crowned with equally flavorful mashed potatoes. It's comfort food at its finest but lots of salt, which I felt in my hands long after my meal! Every aspect of this establishment is solid, but it's not one that I'd likely visit unless I stay at the Holiday Inn again. read more

O'Malley's - Still bubbling - Shepard's Pie - Sports Bars Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Shitty service.... I had to go up to the bar, wait 5min before being acknowledged- then he walked out to help other tables... All before i could even ask for a menu and waters. Chicken wings were really fatty and luke warm at best... And the nerve to charge $14 for that crap. Slow service... And I mean sllllooooooooowwww!! Also a simple house vodka tonic is $10!!!! Wtf!? Ridiculous place and warn others not to waste your time or money. read more

This was your average restaurant in a hotel. Pricing was a little above average due to its location, but the service was spot on and it was relatively clean at least when we came in around 10pm. The staff was amazing and always came to refill our glasses and asked if we needed anything else. The spinach artichoke dip was great although it came skimpy on the chips. I got a Reuben sandwich was great mainly because it didnt have an overwhelming amount of sauerkraut and it melded well with the amount of meat and thousand island sauce. Was very impressed and would come back probably just for the reuben! read more

O'Malley's - Reuben! Sandwich - Sports Bars Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

We went for happy hour, $6 craft pints (16 oz), $3 off apps. Our server was awesome; patient and helpful. I order nachos, which you can get with either fries, tatters tots, chips or tortilla chips($8); I got traditional. My wife got the quesadilla ($9)and our friend got a club sandwich ($14) (not on the happy hour menu). The food and drinks were great. I would say the pico de gallo was what stood out the most; besides the prices. All in for the group, including 6 beers was $76. Would definitely recommend. read more

Maria and Josh derserve 5 stars! We have been staying at the hotel for a week. We have been in O'malley's every night. Maria was wonderful! Very friendly and perfessional. Josh was our server one night and was just as friendly and professional. Both worked very hard. I can not say too much about the other servers and bartender. They spent their time sitting around and talking instead of helping out and checking on the customers. The food was tasty but was inconsistent. read more

We ate dinner there last night. The food and service was terrific. When. We first got there, they were getting settled and then very attentive. Irma was super sweet and certainly made the experience a good one. The review are mixed but I say give it a try. The soups are delish! read more

Undercooked crab cakes=food poisoning... I'm not very happy right now... You don't expect to get sick during a business trip...

Ate hear while staying at the Holiday Inn. Late day at work, and didn't want to leave for dinner. Service was okay, it's mainly the hotel bar, so most of the crowd was there for that. Every booth has it's own TV, which is nice if you have a specific game you want to watch. Typical pub fare. Had the fish and chips. Nothing to write home about. Shares the kitchen with the National Diner, so you would hope for better food, but was not the case. Wouldn't recommend it, other than it's convenience if you are staying at the hotel, and don't/can't leave the premises. read more

Great place for Irish pub food. There were a bunch of great items on the menu. I had the Reuben sandwich. Excellent. The staff were attentive as well and everything came out correctly. We were in a party of 18. They reserve the entire back of the restaurant for us which was very nice. read more

If you like good bar food - this is it! Can't believe I found a hotel for under $100, with a awesome restaurant. Happy hour from 5-7 and a chef who know how to make things delicious. Service was a little slow at the bar - the bartender also handled tables, but she had a great attitude. Recommend the quesadillas and wings. read more

I was staying in the holiday inn for a week, so I came here once for dinner and to watch the college world series. I had a couple local beers and a couple real drinks, all pretty good. And I had the chicken pot pie, which was amazing. It was surprising, but it was very good. And then I made the mistake of ordering the brownie sundae. Both the brownie and the ice cream tasted badly freezer burnt, just terrible. And that soured my whole evening. read more

We ate here, because we were staying at the hotel it's located in while we were laid over for the night. When we walked in no one greeted us for about 5 minutes so we thought maybe it was a seat yourself establishment, but by the confused look on our waitresses face it probably wasn't. There's not to many people that work here which made the service incredibly slow, but we didn't blame our waitress for that as she was practically running the whole place along with the bartender. As an appetizer we got the parmesan garlic chicken tenders which came with ranch as a dipping sauce. They were very good, but unfortunately they were the only thing that was good. I originally ordered the Shepard's pie, but was informed that they ran out (this was at 730 pm) so I settled for the steakhouse burger with sweet potato fries. My fried were cold and although the burger looked amazing it tasted like they didn't season the meat and was very bland. But I doused it in bbq sauce making it edible. I had high hopes for the chicken pot pie my fiancé ordered but we agreed that again it was lacking in the seasoning department. Feeling unsatisfied we ordered the brownie sundae to go to bring back to our room. Those were actually very good so there's that. Our server was friendly, so we still left 20%, but the establishment itself definitely needs some work. This place is good if you get appetizers or desserts but the dinner just tastes bland and is too expensive to be so "boring". If I'm ever laid over at DCA again I'd probably go to a different spot based on the fact that the quality of the food is not matching up for the prices being charged. read more

I was in a bad mood...5 flights in 2 days and my flight home cancelled to bad weather .So i asked the hotel i was staying at where i could get some good food and a drink and she advised me about O'Malleys located in the front of the building. So naturally i accepted her advise an walked over the the Pub. I was greeted instantly by warm and friendly staff. Immediately was seated and served an ice cold beer and presented a menu. After eating an amazing burger cooked to perfection i decided to stay and have a few drinks thanks to the friendly staff. Chris and Yvonne where exceptional and O'Malleys is lucky to have actual personable Bartenders and staff. I will be staying at the Holiday Inn International from now on so i can visit this pub again. read more

Went there for 1 happy hour drink with a friend. Was in there maybe, 15 min. Charged my card $1,000!!!! I didn't realize until a week later when I checked my account. They never returned the money in my account for over a week! Spoke to multiple people, and all of them had different stories about how it happen or why it took so long. The common answer though was "I had no idea about this" I suggest not going here! read more

Decided to check this place out for happy hour. Their happy hour selection was mediocre at best and overpriced. The bar was super dark and the ambiance was not very appealing. Our waitress kept forgetting to bring us things we ordered and didn't check on us even when she clearly wasn't doing anything. The food was decent but I would probably not come back. read more

Smoking - not what I want to smell after a day at work. Beer selection is solid, but way overpriced for the lack of service. Who can eat around smokers. Too many better places in the area to grab a beer. read more

This place would be OK if you're marooned in the hotel by something like an ice storm or a hurricane. Otherwise, don't bother. Wait staff is indifferent, food is run-of the mill. Turn-off was when waitress announced that, on this Thursday evening, Happy Hour was running until 10 PM. When I asked for a flat-bread pizza off of the Happy Hour menu, I was told that Happy Hour ended at 7 PM for the food items. Huh? There are a lot of other places in the neighborhood that would love to have your business. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere. read more
