O’brien’s Irish Pub Of Brandon

I thought i wrote this review, lol Came here after picking up my mom from her dentist. I never been to this business ever. Theres one like 10 mins from my house. I am picky of where i go that is a bar type thing. I has many miss adventures in other bars but i tend to behave the closer they are to home. Ya know? Kiss a guy, kiss a girl, both, two guys or three girls? Away from home? Who cares, but not near my safe zone? No way. Lol food? Yeah food was great! Since mom went with my pic of Sheppards pie? I went with the fish n chips. I gotta say.... I had a different image in my head. Normally when i order this in other Irish bars i get duped n get like more batter than fish. Not here! Thin crust of batter n huge pieces if fish. Nice crispy texture and well balance of sodium to the pallet. Fries were great also. Ate the Fack outa it. I trued the Sheppards pie n it was legit good. Looked small until i dug into it. Its big enough for a 1 person meal. The cheese sticks apps was the culprit in why i couldn't help her eat it. Sticks were perfect also. I kept the sauce to bathe my fish in it. I totally forgot what beer i order. It was a red ale. Tasted similar to what i been brewing at home. I previously wanted to try a Cream ale. I been trying to understand the pallet for it. I brewed three batches using different techniques but wanted to have a better clue to what i should target towards flavor n texture. Yes texture!! Cream ales are corn based some use Lactose sugar some don't. I make a mean creamy ale with lactose sugar must n then later in priming. Gives it a silky texture very gentle in the mouth. But a true cream ale isn't creamy. O_o a las i might as well keep coming back until i get blessing from the beer goddess to try what they got on tap. Before u tell me to go buy it in bottle form? They're not the same. Keg vs bottled stuff? Its world apart. The hops, yeast and notes are very controlled in bottles so they don't explode. Kegs? They can handle pure blend no drama. But Josefina why you going to bars to buy booze you can make? Cuz I support all brewers n bars. Also cuz sometimes this unicorn likes to trot lol joke aside? Like i said, i enjoyed my visit. Should come back during the night n check out the live shows. Need to get out more too!!

A decent, local, pub/bar establishment. OIP has been here in the Brandon area for many years. The food is ok, nothing fancy, and use of the fryer is the main cooking theme. There are sandwiches and burgers too Bier was cold and great tasting.

Came here to watch the Ohio State football game, and it's definitely an Ohio state bar. You can't get a seat unless you reserve one. The food we had wasn't good though. We ordered the appetizer platter, and half the platter was 3 Reuben egg rolls, which were inedible to me. I make them at home, with sliced corned beef, sliced Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing. Theirs may have consisted of these ingredients, but the filling was all ground up, a mushy consistency, and indiscernable ingredients. We left 2 1/2 egg rolls on the platter, told the waitress, to no avail, just a blank look on her face. All I can say is, they do know how to pour a proper Guinness, which not all bartenders know how to do.

I highly recommend O'Brien's. Brandon if you're planning on holding a party or event. I held a close friend's birthday party in the party room and it was a huge success. Tamara is an absolute gem and has a love for her job that shows. I can't thank her enough for all her help and suggestions with the food menu, party room and drinks. The atmosphere was perfect and the food was delicious with many of our guests complimenting. Thank you to the staff of O'Brien's and especially to Tamara for all your help and our server Andrea who we kept very busy but she kept a very big smile on her face.

Tomorrow is St Patricks Day!! OBriens has been a Tampa Bay Irish Pub staple for a long time! It's been one of my family's favorite local eateries for the past 17 years! They go all out for St Patty's Day with tents in the parking lot, plenty of Killians and Guinness flowing, popular Irish pub fare like shepherds pie and fish chips, Irish music, bagpipes and green beer! Check out my last 3 slides for their other acclaimed events to keep the celebration going long after March 17th comes and goes! We love their loaded potatoes skins, Shepherds pie and fish chips. These are items that will definitely be available tomorrow along with the rest of their Irish pub fare like bangers and mash! You can sip on Killians and Guinness as well as green beer! Sláinte!
