O'Sullivan's showed up for their community today. We had a snowstorm and while essential businesses closed (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, etc), O'Sullivan's opened their doors and was one of the only places to get a hot meal. Their employees were also out shoveling snow to make sure people could walk safely. I commend O'Sullivan's. They showed up to feed and serve their community. This is what running a successful business looks like. I highly recommend O'Sullivan's and will continue to be a loyal customer. read more

The best food on the planet isn't worth service as bad as this. New to the area, never coming back. Don't waste your time, walk across the crosswalk to Liberty and don't look back. read more

I always have a great time at O'Sullivan's. A staple for my friends and I over the last few years, especially in the winter. Live music almost every weekend. Pretty good bar food, but nothing too special. Known for their Irish Car Bombs. They are the local Steelers bar, and they bring in Iron City Beer for games. read more

Waddya gonna do? Grab your umbrella? grab your a**? or duck into the nearest Irish Pub? O'Sullivan's. Excellent (at the bar) service. The most interesting pub crowd. Like 4 big screens with games. Guinness served right. Not too cold. read more

Clarendon Irish pub with a divey feel. Live music and more of a late night crowd. Fish and chips was a good portion size. It had a nice crunch. Fries were average. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Good place to grab a beer. read more

As a die hard Steelers fan, I love a place where I can watch a game and sit in agony for three hours while the Steelers woefully underperform. And O'Sullivan's is the perfect place to do it! This restaurant makes a real effort to make yinzers feel at home. The food specials are good, the wait staff is awesome, and the ambiance is so much fun. I liked the Primanti sandwich (although nothing compares to the original iykyk) and the pretzels rocked too. Hope to catch a win next time but I probably won't lol go Steelers read more

Been here twice. Both times the server/bartender was friendly, and the beer was top notch at a reasonable price. My first visit here was on Election Night way back in 2016. My friend invited me to an Election Night party at a nearby bar. Bunch of Trumpers there including my friend. I didn't like either of the candidates. Ended up checking out the Libertarian Election Night party at O'Sullivans. Although it wasn't much of a party, the service was great and was my beer along with a couple of good conversation. My 2nd visit here was in June 2023 for a comedy night they do every Thursday night. The server was friendly and prompt with my beer. The atmosphere was comfortable and had some good conversations with others at this comedy Meetup including a couple of the comedians. read more

Met some friends for a post work dinner. Was happy to see we made it right before hh ended. They offered a few $7 food specials which we took advantage of by getting: beef sliders, buffalo chicken dip and fish tacos. Everything was very tasty and really filling. Staff was nice and it was a great seating arrangement outside. read more

Irish Pub with a very solid selection of food and drinks Food is comprised of a collection of both Irish and American classics Have a mixed drink that combines Guinness and one other beer of your choice, but have a bunch of more appetizing mixed drinks as well including a scores espresso martini The fries here are very good, but I got a burger and it was very underwhelming. It was way overcooked and the tomato that came on it was a little old/soggy All tables are high-tops, and it's pretty loud, so plan accordingly Happy hour from 4-7 Have trivia weekly, and periodically have comedy shows read more

Traveled in DC and went here a few times albeit one encounter with a rude staff member, the staff was great, and the drinks were good and well priced. Good atmosphere to hang out and enjoy with friends. read more

Great place to go to for late night drinks. It's in Clarendon so it's close to the metro and any other options for bar hopping if you're planning on that stuff. Service is quick, and the place is what you expect of a pub. All boxes checked read more

My family went here for the Steeler-Bengals game on Saturday. This place was full of Steeler fans! It is very loud but the atmosphere and the food is outstanding. The wings are delicious-very crispy. I split the Reuben sandwich with my mom and it was super tasty. My boyfriend got the Guinness burger which is a beef patty atop mashed potatoes slathered in their Guinness gravy which is phenomenal. I asked for a side of it to dip my fries in. We got the IC Light bucket that was on special - 5 beers for $20. The bloody Mary's are quite good too. We will be back again for a Steelers game. Our waitress, Olive, was excellent-she is actually Irish too! read more

I went for the hot old Fashioned and my boyfriend stuck with the traditional hot toddy. The drinks were decent, a bit pricy ($15 each) especially with other bars in the area offering hot drinks. However the service was great, we grabbed to seats at the bar and there were tons of regulars, which is always great for newbies like us! I did enjoy the atmosphere and would definitely come back for their food options! read more

We really loved the staff and great ambience! My only problem was that our beer was flat. We had two different types and both extremely flat. Total bummer because we really liked the place. Fish and wings were both decent. Will try again and hopeful next time beer will be better. read more

Security was beyond unnecessarily rude. Could use a please or thank you. Bartenders and rest of staff was fine. Band was good, and music was alright read more

Really fun atmosphere, clean, and the staff are fantastic! We stopped here on a bar crawl for a friends birthday and had a great time. We didn't have any food so I can't review that feature, but the bar atmosphere was great! read more

This is THE best bar in Arlington post college. I would say once you hit like 24 you're a bit to old but still fun sometimes lol. Also, the dad guys power hour on Fridays is my favorite thing ever read more

I don't go here for the food, but for the night life. It's always fun here with a live band in the evening. Great time with friends and my significant other. Definitely a go-to spot for Clarendon for a quick beer. read more

Lots of TVs, great bar seating and ample space! This was probably the second time coming here and I'd say it was worth it! I got the hot toddy and it was tasty! read more

Food is amazing but it's the vibe that makes the spot worth the trip from my side of the burbs the staff is friendly and very helpful.

The food here is amazing and great selection of beers and the coffee and espresso drinks will keep you up. My friend loves their fish and chips and you can share it with a friend as it is huge. I love the lamb sliders and shepherds pie. The guiness meatballs were hard and I would skip them and order fish tacos instead. read more

Some friends and I came out here for Trivia Night Wednesdays and boy, it was PACKED. We arrived at 6:30 so we definitely know for next time to get there earlier... It was a very fun trivia, where you jot down all your answers and have a neighboring team grade you after each round! Although my friends and I were sitting by the window/bar area with only a few stools to alternate as seating, it was a pretty fun night - solid drinks (the glasses of beers are filled to the BRIM!) and food as well! read more

Bartender was a jerk when I asked if he could remake my drink because it was watered down too much. He insisted he was right and refused to make me the same drink and told me to pay for a new one. read more

Pretty spacious Irish pub in Clarendon that's always been popular. I've been here one other time, but have never eaten anything. I decided to try it out for Disney trivia and was excited to try their food since my roommate frequents it all the time. We were immediately greeted with free whiskey shot samples which were a nice surprise before dinner! I'm not a huge fan of whiskey, but the gesture was great! I opted for the veggie burger and the hand cut french fries. The burger was not the best veggie burger I've ever had, but the fries were really yummy and it was a satisfying meal. The wait staff weren't super attentive and it looked like they were a little understaffed. He was friendly, we just had to flag him down a lot. I'm looking forward to trying out other things on the menu here. They also always seem to have a lot of social events here. It seems like a great watering hole for the Clarendon neighborhood. read more

Love the food! We came here after our night class and order the turkey burger and the steak sandwich. I loved the turkey burger, it had a spicy kick to it and was super delicious. The steak sandwich was also really good. It had real cuts of thick juicy steak. I highly recommend both sandwiches and the fries were also tasty. The servers were really kind and nice. Very attentive. At night it does get packed with a loud crowd, so it's great if you want to go with friends and grab some beers. If you prefer more of a quiet setting to grab good food, go during the day before 6 or 7. Overall the food is great and vibe is fun. read more

I've been to O'Sullivans for drinks and trivia ( which is great!), but my first time eating there was great! I was surprised by how much I loved my meal. I got the potatoes and leek soup which was rich and creamy. The Irish soda bread on the side was great to dip into it. The Kale Cesar was perfectly made with potato croutons - which I'd never had before and were delicious! The servers were so attentive & quick when we needed anything. read more

Great beer, great band vibe on Friday nights. Worth the visit for good live music and great beer. Some patrons are rowdy, but overall good vibes read more

We've lived right around the corner for over a year and this was our first time - wish we started coming sooner! Their service is kind of funny, but the perfect frequency of being checked on while dining, IMO. You HAVE to get something from what we got: Irish Beef Dip, Veggie Burger, Kobe Burger, or the Fish and Chips! They were all SOLID!! read more

I come here every Wednesday for trivia and the drinks, food, and staff are so great. Love the vibe of this bar on a weeknight or a first Fridays. Definitely recommend if you're in Arlington!!! read more

Pretty mediocre even for Irish pub standards. I came here wanting to try some green beer because it was St Patrick's Day but they don't have that and it's apparently all a gimmick What I really have qualms about is the service nobody really goes out of their way to be hospitable or explain things It's a very basic bar with very basic service which is not something I would expect in this part of town but whatever. I ended up coming on a Sunday so I got plenty of free street parking but on otherwise it would be very difficult to find parking here. I also didn't quite like the vibe of this place it was almost a dead atmosphere and they have TVs everywhere but the things that I wanted to watch were actually behind me and I didn't feel like asking the bartender to switch the channel in the front. I don't think I'd be in a rush to come here again unless I had a strong inkling for a beer, which is unlikely to happen since I don't really drink beer in the first place. I might be tempted to come back for a whiskey but then again there are so many other nice whiskey bars this wouldn't be high on my list either. read more
