O'Brien's Irish Pub - New York

Despite having a confirmed reservation through OpenTable, the hostess informed me she did not have it. I showed her my mobile confirmation, but she told me not to worry about it. Later, I received a cancellation email from the restaurant and had to contact OpenTable for my points. The hostess clearly needs some training. The waitress was good, and the food was average bar food. I did enjoy the O'Brien's ale.

The service was very slow even though there were very few people. The prices were a bit high in some cases, and I don't think it's right that they include a 20% tip in the bill. Other restaurants give you the option to choose between 15-18 or 20%, but in this case, the 20% tip was not deserved.

I enjoyed my experience at this charming restaurant. I arrived early and was able to be seated right away on the second floor, with a lovely view of the street through the window. The seats were comfortable and the alcoholic drinks were unique. I highly recommend trying the French onion soup and burger, as they were delicious. I would definitely visit this restaurant again.

Place was pretty electricCame there on a Friday night around 7, an ordered an espresso martini.

First and last time I will go to this Irish bar that actually went through the process of measuring a shot.
