O'Blarney's, Olympia

In town for business, not knowing anyone, by the time I walked (ok, nearly stumbled but not quite) out of O Blarneys I did know a few people and had a great time on my first night in Washington. It was Thursday and there was a trivia contest. My team was actually leading for one round but the last round killed us. A nice selection of craft beers on tap and the food is very good at a very reasonable price. It was great fun, very friendly and attentive bar/wait staff, and I will be spending several evenings here before I head back home.

I visited O Blarney s Irish Pub during the week to check out the local irish offerings. I had the bangers and mash. My mother had the Shepherds pie. Both were very tasty. The prices were reasonable and they accepted a coupon. I will be certain to return.

This place has had the best burgers in town for years. One side is tavern like with pool tables and the other side is suitable for taking children.

O Blarney s is a place where the young can party hearty on Saturday night and the not so young can have a great lunch or dinner any time of day or evening in a quiet convivial atmosphere. Service at the bar and in the dining room is great and the staff are friendly and fun. Pull tab afficionados can entertain themselves, too, at a bar just for them. They have a great line of draft beer and a nice menu. For the hot wing fan they serve the best wings anywhere around and let you pick your heat on a scale of 1 to 6. The 5s and 6s definitely pack heat.

Menu items were prepared as described and exceeded my expectations. The Irish soda bread was the best I ve had. We were in the bar for the UFC PPV ($5 per person). Come arly on the Sat. nights, it fills quickly. Staff was couteous and professional. We had the corned beef and cabbage with potatoes and the warm brownie sundae. Yum!

On a more serious note this is a fun place to eat drink and be merry. Low key atmosphere with no drama. Good grub, good variety of beverages and friendly staff.

This pub offers some of the best pub food around. They are especially known for their great burgers.

Decent pub food at reasonable prices, interesting selection of draft beers, sports on multiple TV s, dart boards, lots of people talking at once, live music and open mike nights and of course celebrating anything Irish.

It s locally owned. Great live music,weekly events, clean bathrooms and on Sunday mornings they have a killer brunch.

I love how attentive the staff was, even if they weren t serving you. I will definitely be back with the girls!
