Where is spoons on this list???

awesome little soccer & beer bar

   stiaszny - 05/20/2008

The only time you'll find baseball on their TV's is when there's no soccer on. If you want Champions League or EPL, this is the place to go. No cover, either. Tom (who is rumored to be a Yale grad), is the ultimate beer nerd. He uses his connections in the beer community to get beers that you literally can't get anywhere else. The specials are usually pretty tasty; my only complaint is that their pre-packaged burger patties are lacking in quality.
As for the racism comment - that's whack. I bring my 4'10" asian girlfriend in there all the time and I've never encountered any negativity. Most of the time, Tom is too busy to chat anyway.

Total Lies

   sdobriens1 - 05/16/2008

The below review by "milquetoastyb" contains nothing but lies about me, the owner of O'Brien's. I have never made racist remarks in the pub and why this person wants to slander me and the pub I do not know. This is a clear case of someone trying to flame us on the internet. This happens. You 86 people, they get mad and then they think they will try to get even.
Please stop by the pub for a beer and judge for yourself. Our correct website is WWW.OBRIENSPUB.NET and we are open from Noon to 6 pm on Sundays, unlike the incorrect information that AOL has posted. If anyone reading this can change that, please do so.

Never Said That

   sdbrewertom - 09/18/2007

I am the owner of O'Brien's and I never said what the woman in the review from 4-27-07 claims I said. I would never insult people by their height. I am 6'3" and very aware of how much taller I am than most people. We have many customers named Tom and we have many Asian customers - we are after all on Convoy street. So please read the other reviews and do not believe that anyone at O'Brien's is in any way racist. Thanks, Tom Nickel

My ears!

I liked the food and the beer selection but was subjected to some horrifying racist remarks made by "Tom" (supposedly the owner). So if you are someone who might fit into the category of "f-ing 5'2'' Asian guys and their 4'9'' girlfriends" know that you probablyy won't feel welcome at this establishment.

Sunday Hours and Website

   sdobriens - 01/29/2007

I can't seem to reach anyone to change our Sunday hours, so I am writing them here. We are open from Noon to 5 pm every Sunday year round. We open early or stay open late for every Chargers game. We are however, closed all major holidays.

Our new website is: www.obrienspub.net and has our bottle list, draft list and soon our food menu on it.

Thanks much for voting us Best Beer two years in a row!

Cheers, Tom Nickel
Owner O'Brien's

PS It wouldn't let me post this without rating, and of course I think very highly of the place.

No Yellow Fizzy Beers Here

   garymugs - 11/10/2005

Absolute best selection of real beer in the county. This place make an effort to accomodate "HopHeads". Most people have never experianced real beer or they have watched so much TV they think that drinking yellow fizzy beer will make the a "chick master", if you are one of these nimrods please stay away from O'Brien's!

Jim started it and the new owners have expanded upon the tradition of real beer. The only thing they have never had is Stone Double Arrogant Bastard Cask Conditioned Ale that has been filtered through a virgins thong. But they have everything else and specials all the time. Cheers...
