“ Fun, relaxed local pub with lots of drinks options. Busy and still remained fun! We would recommend for those visiting like us! ”
“ Best time at O'Learys! Young and extremely attractive Bartender Jimbo took care of us like we had been coming for 10 years. All these bad reviews don't know what they are talking about! Chicken quesadilla was 10/10 and the chef gave us a free roasted pepper. Will be back very soon ”
“ Max and I love this bar! Jim, the owner, is quite the comedian. We stumbled upon it by accident. My giddiness took over when I looked at the bourbons and I saw Weller. I ask the barmaid if she knew how to make the best Old Fashioned. She called the master of the bar for assistance. That's where Jim comes in. I knew he was a professional because he didn't even measure my drink. That's when he showed me the Handcocks! Damn. I wish I knew that before he poured the Weller. This is a friendly bar without a lot of hype. Give them a chance, you won't be disappointed. They must love us. Max got a free Guinness! Sorry, this review gets better, and better. They gave Max and me two Guinness glasses! Maybe the next round, Jim will give me the bar! ”
“ Great place! The beer choices are tasty. The public house is warm and welcoming. Dark wood bar and seating make it a comfortable place to have a cold beer! The secret is the bourbon on the shelves. ”
“ Casual drink spot perfect for meeting a couple of friends. We love stopping in for some drinks and pub food. We love to get spritz's, wings, and mozzarella sticks for the table. They always have great staff and seating options. Great local spot in rivernorth for a casual drink and catching up with friends! ”
“ Best Rueben I've ever had. The service was fast and friendly. Love the owner and the green beer. ”
“ I was in town visiting friends and had the chance to meet up with a few when they were here this afternoon. I've been here a few times, some people I'm friends with introduced me to it, and it's basically got that neighborhood feel to it. Jimbo is the owner and he's always so welcoming...he remembers me and that's always a great feeling. I was helping a friend promote his new tequila line so I was helping to make introductions however I could. I have not had the chance to eat here, but when I do I will be sure to update this. Support small businesses! Jimbo is fantastic and his humor can't keep you in a bad mood. That's a guarantee! Thanks to the team here for a great visit! ”
