Asked bartender what specials they had for St. Patrick's Day - she looked dumbfounded, had no idea, said she didn't know, she just got there.

We ended up at O'Brian's randomly. I was driving my friend from a Super Boen Party back to the…read moretrain station so they could take the tri-rail back to Palm Beach. Since they had some time to kill and sobriety was not an option, we decided to stop and the closest watering hole next to I-95z what came up in their GPS, or the choice they made, was O'Brian's. Out time there was a wonderful experience. Must certainly a younger crowd, which is understandable know the proximity to the university but still a magnificent time. Service was quick, and the drinks were on point. We were already a bit plastered coming from a Super Bowl celebration, but despite how busy they were they were still able to provide us with drinks within minutes. I asked for a spiced rum and coke, which even though not my drink of should, it was what I was stuck with the whole night because of the avatar the super bowl party. I can't wait to go back when I in Boca again. Based on my one time observation, O'Brian's is a blast!

I love Irish pubs and this one has a very characteristic atmosphere to match…read more I went on a Friday night around 7:30 pm and by about an hour later the place started to fill up quickly, but the most interesting thing about it was that the average age of the people there was in their 20s - I've never seen so many young people in an Irish bar. I chose to sit at the bar and the bartender was very attentive, I had 2 beers and "potato skins - $11.00 tasty but lacking seasoning" and "zucchini fries $9.00 crispy and very tasty". The only problem here is finding parking nearby.

I'm saddened to see that all the positive reviews for Moons have been filtered…read more I'm even more saddened to see that the only review that has been posted is from a non-enthusiast of dive bars. Allow me to clear the air. Moons is a Dive Bar. It's dark, it's smokey, there's A pool table and a couple dart boards. Guess what else it has... A fabulous staff, stiff drinks, great prices and a convenient location for those of us in N.Boca. There's also a ton of tv's, a jukebox packed full of favorites and the bathrooms are clean. Does it feel like your neighbor made his garage into a bar? Yes. Is it smokey and full of questionable characters? Maybe, but that depends on the night and your overall take on the bar scene. Me, I enjoy a cigar from time to time & people watching and chatting regardless of their social level is something I find fun on occasion. So if you're like me and have a soft spot in your heart, and liver, for a local dive bar, then Moons is Definitely worth checking out.

In this case, it was Robert Watson (professor, author, and historian from Boca Raton), which made the night even more interesting. It was my first time at this local hangout, and it didn't disappoint. I had a fantastic blackened salmon -- perfectly cooked and full of flavor. One friend had the classic corned beef and cabbage with a side salad, another went with fish and chips. We paired it all with some Guinness, Tito's & soda, and ended the night with some dessert. The music was loud (as it should be for a live band!), so we moved outside to enjoy dessert and catch up a bit more. Great food, fun atmosphere, and live music -- plus it's close to home, so I'll definitely be back!

Anyway, now that the trademark is expired they're going with the name Tall Boy again. Pretty neat. As for the bar itself, it kind of has a calculated divey quality to it. Pretty comfortable, I had a few drinks and enjoyed my time there. I actually stopped by to see a band, Cinema Stereo. It was a good time. Nice place to see a band live, very intimate. I'd be shocked if they could fit more than 100 people there. Overall 5 stars. I liked the vibe alot and would definitely come back if other rock bands came through.

TRUE IRISH 2AM BAR…read more.. We're driving through West Boca Raton and had an hour to burn until dinner and searched the internet for a non-commercial pub for a couple of craft beers. Patience gets reward and we finally found this Holloway's Irish Pub off Powerline Road. Tucked away at the rear of a modern plaza against a beautiful tranquil canal. It had an inviting huge front patio with several tables. We entered as a friendly woman, later identified herself as Bertha, told us to come right inside. At first glance, I was pleasantly impressed by the real Irish interior decor which felt comfortable and cozy. Plenty of Guinness signs on the walls - beer of the Irish. Three dart boards on a wall in a side room on the right with a sign that says Dart League Nite. A good size circular bar to the left. They offer a digital jukebox and a cigarette machine for customer use. As we took a seat at the empty bar, Bertha quickly gripped the beer taps and showed us a food menu. Bertha advised that the roasted chicken wings $14.99 and the shephard's pie $16.99 were the best sellers. Actually, the menu listed several mouth watering dishes including the Irish Coffee with Jameson. They did offer good quality craft tap brews. We ordered two ice cold beers, a Barrel of Monks Single in Havana and Funky Buddha Hop Gun. Had great conversation with Bertha but had to leave for a dinner engagement. Going to return to try the chicken wings and of course the cold craft beer. The men's bathroom was very clean and included six empty beer kegs - loved the added touch. Strong 4 star rating today.
