Steps from Newton Theater is this sweet gem of a pub. The kind of place you go in and when you come out you feel now like family. You make a new friend or two or more here because everyone is that warm and nice. But I've never been to a place with the most friendliest kind go above and beyond staff than here. Go. Thank me later! read more

Sara provided absolutely spectacular service while we sat on the covered front porch during a torrential downpour. They also have lots of outdoor seating along the side of the pub where they offer live music on Wednesday afternoons. We enjoyed cocktails and the tornado skins appetizer which were spectacular. Pet friendly! read more

This place doesn't disappoint. Servers nice and patient and knew everyone that come in and out of the pub. Tons of seating and they have room for a small gathering. I recommend the nachos if you ever stop by since they don't disappoint. read more

The good, the bad, the localness of a pub. The "& Grill" must be accounted for in the review, so here we go. Local pub. Laid out in an Irish manner, which matches the name. Woody, a few corners to turn to decide where to sit. Maybe the bar could be slightly bigger, but that's nitpicking. Good beer selection on tap and a wide variety of bottles and cans if you desire. Unfortunately my beer came extra foamy. The waitress tried to play that off as "oh it's a new keg!" but I have never gotten that at another pub. They will try to top that off instead. Service: OK. Informative, helpful, but the food took a long while to get to our table. But at least everyone got food all at once. Atmosphere was pretty nice, actually. Karaoke wasn't that loud - we were one section away and couldn't hear our own people sing. Some of you may say that's bad, I say that's the only way I'm surviving a night like that. (: But hey, that's the good and the bad as I promised. If you're local, this is your local pub, go here. If not, go to your more local one. That's the vibe I'll send here. Ta. read more

Great place to eat great atmosphere the wait staff are great Please please please make reservations! don't do the same mistake I did and just come in. I only waited a half hour but the half hour wait was every bit worth it This place gets really packed. But i really need to write about the wait staff and the back of the house as well What i saw in the workers to today showed me a team of dedicated professionals who work above and beyond. Organized service and the way everyone work together and in sequence I no ass kisser trust me Im a Chef who loves the restaurant business and the kitchen and every utensil and tool and kitchen equipment more than anything in the world and I'll tell you what these men and women worked in the back of the kitchen and in front of the house were excellent They were dedicated devoted, hard working team. Remember, I said team. The amount of people and I mean, guest that were in the restaurant today was incredible and it was incredible to see the staff how hard they worked to serve everyone they went beyond and above And they are all the reason for this business to be such a success The owners of this establishment are very blessed to have such a great team I highly recommend this place for their food and their service Sometimes you have to be patient make sure you make reservations. This place can be super packed because of all the good food and the service be patient be pleasant. Have a drink be polite. This place does not get full for no reason believe me the food is really good and I enjoyed myself and I love the ambience and the atmosphere and the vibes that the workers gave off excellent flawless I cant wait to go back and try their burger next time i go back. The burgers really looked so good and now i want one. I will let everyone know how the burgers are on my next review. read more

Great little neighborhood pub with an old school Irish vibe. A touch divey (which I personally love) but certainly not a dive bar. Nice selection of beer. Guinness on tap, which is always a plus. I sat at the bar and ordered the French dip which was absolutely as good as it needed to be. Very friendly bartenders make you feel right at home. Great spot to stop if you are catching a show at the Newton Theater a couple of blocks away. I will return to O'Reilly's again for sure. Four and one half stars on my bar food scale. read more

Service is decent, the bottled Miller Lite is nice and cold. Everything else is up for debate.

Awesome Pub! Great service and food. Fast service and a great value. I'll be back managing more times.

Got the chicken bruschetta. That shit was DELECTABLE 10/10. Bartenders Phoebe and Evan were fantastic.

O'Reilly's is a cozy pub with TVs, bar and a sit down dining areas that can accomodate small and larger parties. Reservations are advised. We often have a meal here before we see a show at the Newton Theater that is within walking distance. The last time we went, I had the Buffalo Chicken empanadas that were great. We shared chicken wings that were plump and well seasoned. My Chicken Pot Pie was very satisfying. Service was a little slow, but it was a very busy night due to the show at the theater. read more

Bruschetta salad had slimy mozzarella cheese that must have been old not "fresh mozzarella" and the wrong lettuce (iceberg not arugula). Chicken Caesar clearly had frozen reheated chicken with fake grill marks that was rubbery and flavorless. 3% credit card fee which I didn't see before ordering. Okay whatever but then you included in the "recommended tip" amounts. Overall a bummer. read more

I've been here a few times over the years and it's always been alright. Today went there and it was kind of gross. The food was questionable, there were fruit flies and the service was no good. The bartender was super rude! I doubt me and my crew will be back. read more

Sunday crew was awesome!! They went out of their way to make my daughter's birthday a special one. Bar atmosphere was great and also the was food delicious!! Thank you again! read more

A total dive but really yummy food. Don't expect gourmet anything, but everything tastes great and food comes out hot. The service will take forever no matter how busy it is. When we go we always order drinks, food, and ask for the check at the same time and it speeds things up. Worth the wait tho !! read more

Be advised, the one star for this place was earned solely by the bartender/waitress/server/bus person. This girl was running around both inside and outside and behind the bar doing everything! The food however that's another story. Nachos with all the usual toppings and the waitress up sold us on the pulled pork. Big Mistake! First scoop included the pulled pork that was clearly spoiled! After putting on my glasses and giving it a good look, it was pink inside. PINK!! Nope! I ordered fries as a replacement because I figured the hot oil would kill any of the bacteria the cook might have added to it from the bottom of his shoes. Hubby ordered a medium burger which came out an hour later pink and cold in the middle! This place is a HARD NO! But someone please come into this place and save that girl behind the bar. She is the only good thing about this place. read more

THey usually have great food. I've been here quite a bit over the years. My recent experience with them though went downhill. I fele the service was lacking and could have been better than it was. It has an alright vibe. read more

Great casual place with decent food & nice selection of alcohol. Came here on a very busy Friday & we had excellent service at a table. We started w/an order of wings with 2 different sauces on the side. They were crispy & meaty - great start to the meal! If you are with a big group, order the nacho's - they looked amazing & is very large. Burger was homemade & cooked perfectly & tasted great! I opted for onion wings instead of fries & I am glad that I did as the fries are batter-dipped which I am not a fan of. My husband enjoyed the grilled chicken sandwich. Overall a solid option in the area for casual food. Will definitely come back again. read more

Best wing anywhere. Great food! Friendly and welcoming staff. A little harder to get to since they made Spring Street one way, but worth a few extra turns;-) read more

I love the food here I had a great veggie burger here. I was surprised because I have been to alot of vegetarian restaurants and this was one of the best veggie burgers I have ever had. It's a good place to get together with a bunch of friends. It has really good food. The service was great and the atmosphere friendly. Service definitely great. I highly recommend read more

Stopped to meet friends before a concert at the Newton Theater on a Thursday night. It may have been to wrong choice to catch up with friends since it was so loud, but hey, it's a pub. Food took way longer to arrive than we thought. Someone joked that it was being flown in from Ireland. Decent pub grub, nothing special. read more

The food is great. Amazing wings, my daughter loves them. The people working here are nice, super friendly. Good service and nice vibe to the place. I would recommend this spot. read more

Let's start here: AWESOME BURGERS! And.... Tremendous staff!! Now that that's out of the way...had tickets to the Soul Asylum show at the Newton Theatre on a Saturday night in February. To say dining options (with a bar) is limited is an understatement. We stoped at O'Reilly's on Spring Street for a pre show snack. Little line at host station but the incredibly cordial gentleman (my bad I didn't ask his name) was definitely focused on getting his customers seated and very attentive. Now, our 1st time here so I had zero idea that reservations were recommended (my other bad) - so, and I 100% support this, he took care of customers with reservations but he was very nice to my wife and I who just showed up. We waited 5 minutes tops and he found us a seat, much appreciated. Our server was Donovan, a really nice, super professional server. I wish him a great future in whatever he does because he made us feel at home. If the owner is reading, he's an asset to your business! Anyway, we had some wine, some burgers (cooked perfectly), watched pickle ball on the huge screens and really enjoyed ourselves. We live about 45 minutes away but already have plans to come back when weather warms. A+ SPOT. Extra point for the obscure and cool beer (and booze) signs!!! read more

Great atmosphere, people, and service at the tables. Food is good and fair priced, as are drinks when I spend time there when I can. Usually served by Sara and she's extremely hospitable and helpful with food and drinks. Def recommend visiting read more

I really enjoyed myself for several nights at this pub and grill. The staff, Evan, Jeff, Morgan and Sydney are all super nice folks! Captain Kirk provides karaoke fun on Friday nights and the food is amazing! Very cool to hang out and watch sports while I was on a business trip! I highly recommend checking this place out if you are ever in Newton, NJ. read more

Went in June and was very disappointed, we went tonight and I can happily say what a difference the owner has made to everything. From the food to the staff. Everything was delicious and came out the way we ordered. We will definitely be back again. Thank you for a great dining experience!!! read more

Great space and great service. We got the nachos and they were super tasty and generous! Love the addition of the beans to them and they don't skimp on toppings. Crisp chips. read more

Came here with some friends about a year ago. Always wanted to leave a review but usually not the type to do so. However, this place gave me the worst food poisoning of my life. Don't get pasta here, when it initially came out it was extremely COLD. My mistake for making the waiter heat it up for me because the next day after eating it I couldn't stop barfing every hour for a straight day. I thought I was gonna need to go to the hospital, I couldn't even hold down water. Never gonna come here again, after my friends saw how bad I got I don't think they will either. read more

3.5 half stars for this cool local Irish Pub came here last night for dinner with a party of 6 before going to the Newton Theater. The parking lot is small so when it's crowded, it could be a challenge, but we were able to get a spot. Walked in and mentioned our reservation, and we were seated immediately. Very friendly waitress came over ordered our drinks and appetizers, which came quickly. We ordered a few different versions of the wings, which we were told came eight in an order. Come to find out, they are actually six in an order, but what are you gonna do. We got the chipotle, barbecue wings, the regular buffalo wings, and the Thai ginger wings. All the sauces tasted incredible, but the wings themselves, could've used another 2-3 or more minutes in the fryer. They were very big wings, the skin had no crisp on it whatsoever, and as you eat towards the bone, they got more difficult to chew. They were not raw or anything, they were just under done in my opinion and the opinions of everyone at our table. For dinner, almost everybody got the burger, I got a cajun grilled chicken sandwich and another person in our party got the Reuben sandwich. My sandwich was good, hardly any cheese, but that's OK. The fries were excellent, very crispy, and well seasoned. All in all a great experience, hanging out with friends, if they fix the wings, it will be even better. read more

Stop to get a burger at lunch. Ended up walking out after 40 minutes and the food was still not done. The bartender, with dreadlocks threw a hissy fit when I told him to forget about the food Hilarious. Don't go for the food if you're hungry, but you could stay for the entertainment. read more

We decided to stop in for a quick lunch since we were in the area. One of the few places that was still offering dine in seating. We got there just before they opened so getting a table wasn't an issue. Talking to the bartender they also have outdoor dining, weather permitting. Their menu is pretty standard for an Irish Pub and they offer typical Irish meals. Comfort food and beer, how could one go wrong. I started off with the French Onion Soup. The soup was delicious, only thing I would have liked to see more onions in it. Still good though. My wife ordered a shepherds pie and I had my go to, fish and chips. The batter was crispy and the fish moist and tender. The shepherds pie was hearty and delicious. We washed it all down with a few Blue Moons and a couple of Long Island Iced Teas. They seem to do OK with their take out. Definitely would give them another go when things get back to normal. Hope that's not too far down the road. read more

Our local neighborhood spot. The food is consistently delicious here. The old pub favorites are all available (amazing burgers, fish and chips, wings that are so juicy and a little crispy) with a modern touch of goat cheese flatbread, loaded tots, and killer beers on tap. The servers are outstanding: attentive, kind, and funny. The atmosphere is fun, laid back, and welcoming. I can honestly say I've never had a dish or a drink I didn't like here. read more
