What User likes about O'leary's Public House:
Nice selection of draft and bottled beers. Enjoyed a great Reuben. No need for the extra side of Thousand...they include a sufficient amount on the sandwich. Good, hot fries too. Lunch service very good View all feedback. What User doesn't like about O'leary's Public House:
No, I cannot recommend this place. The owner appears to be heavily intoxicated, despite claiming that he doesn't drink. I've encountered him so inebriated that he couldn't even recognize someone returning to the restaurant. View all feedback.

Open late with outdoor seating. Food was typical bar bites and what you'd expect. Drinks are strong and well worth the money

Best Chicken Tortilla Soup I’ve ever had. Great bar, atmosphere, service.
