Bobby O’Brien’s Irish Pub

Walking down King Street, my date and I noticed the menu said Half Priced Burgers on Wednesday nights. Seeing it was a Wednesday night, we decided to grab a bite.
The terms noted we had to purchase a drink, which we did. But after we ordered drinks and the waitress came back to take our orders she informed us that only the Vegetarian and Chicken burgers were half price. So I re-​checked that fine print and nothing. The waitress apologized and said it had been like that for a while. But again, the terms were buy a drink and get your burger for half-​price. Not buy a drink and we’ll add more verbal terms at time of order.
Realizing I’d been duped I decided to get their best burger with sweet potato fries but the fries didn’t come with the spicy mayo. It’s an additional $ 0.50 for the spicy mayo. Needless to say, if it was not for the great blues band playing, I would have been really annoyed. Even my date was annoyed.
Next time, we’ll walk a little further down King Street.

Service: Helpful
Atmosphere: Typical Bar
Food: A good twist
Would return? Yes.
I was able to get a half day off work and went downtown to take care of some errands. I met up with my girlfriend and we decided to pop in for a quick lunch. We walked into what seemed like a fairly typical looking bar. Nothing fancy just plain wooding, booths and stools; exactly what we were looking for and wanting.
After looking over the menu I saw that there was a drink called the black and tan. I asked what that was and the waitress explained it was a mix of a ale and cider. Curious, I ordered it and ya, it was pretty good. The nutty ale meshed well with the fruitiness of the cider.
We both decided on the chicken wings: honey garlic, curry, and sweet chili. I was happy to see they had some uncommon flavours like the curry. They all came out in quick order and everything taste quite good. The wings were a fair size and not overdone like some places treat their bar food.
All in all the service was friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was to be expected, and the food good. Not only that, but it seems like they have some original flavours and some unique twists on some drinks. If I’m in the area I’ll definitely be stopping there again.

Called and made a reservation for 11:15am for a group of 20. When we arrived they didnt open until noon and turned us down at the door. No problem we will take our business somewhere else from now on.

Passed by this place in downtown Kitchener. The waitress tried to seat us at a location where we could still see the band. We saw the specials outside and was surprised that they had a student deal on Fridays where they offered a free pound of wings with the purchase of a drink. We asked the waitress what drinks we could choose from, and she told us pop was the least expensive. In the end, we recieved 6 wings each with a pop. Couldn’t believe how cheap the bill was! Service was great, and they even asked us to come back next Friday. (I doubt they made any money from our order)

Great food, and good student deals! My personal favorite is a free pound of wings with purchase of ANY drink for students, and man are the wings good. Service is great, and the ambiance is just the way I like it. It’s cool that they have a volleyball court too. I’m hoping to go back next week and try out something else on the menu. I’ll keep you posted!
Just duplicated my review for Bobby O’Brians Irish Pub to here.

A bar. That is all I can say. Ok wings and slow service from girls with tight shirts.

I felt like hitting a pub for supper so went to Bobby O’Brien’s Irish Pub, which is a couple blocks from my hotel. I’d been there in July 2010 and enjoyed it.
I ordered garlic bread with cheese and wings with Frank’s Buffalo. The garlic bread was good. The bread was soft with lots of butter and cheese. The wings were good too … just the right amount of heat. There were eight wings to a pound and they were a good size.
It was fairly quiet when I got there just before 7pm. Tuesday nights are trivia night at 8:30pm so it was starting to fill up when I left.
The food was good and Tanya took good care of me. She was super friendly and helpful.

Burgers are always BURNT, we gave this place at least 4 – 5 tries and every and each time the meat was burnt to the point it’s uneatable… Staff isn’t very friendly either, i would say «ok-​whatever» kind of attitude. Drinks are watered as well, my rum-​coke tasted like a «flat coke with a dash of rum in it» last time we went. So… BIG NO_​NO
