O’Malley’s Pub & Restaurant

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Big fan!
A place for locals and regulars. Sit at the bar, a cozy booth, or on the outdoor patio. Ruben sandwich, Fish & Chips, or wings. You can’t lose.
Great for late night food.

O’Malley’s = good time. At least in my opinion. It is a laid back bar with great wings and entertainment on any given night. I’ve witnessed the karaōke first hand and it definitely entertaining. I mean that in a good way. Hey, you have to give it up for the folks who are willing to get up and belt out a tune. Cheers.
O’Malley’s is great for pool and just sitting at the bar and watching the game. The bar isn’t a sports bar so it doesn’t have a ton of TVs but if you are stopping in to grab a bite on your own, you won’t feel weird hanging at the bar and grabbing an appetizer or what not and watching whatever sports are on.

Our favorite weekend brunch! Love the laid back atmosphere and when it’s nice be sure to grab a seat outside on the patio! On top of being a cool pub the food is amazing! The reunion with sweet potato fries wow! We take all our family here for Sunday brunch when they visit from out of town! Did I mention the price point is Amazing!!! Super budget friendly!

I had an awesome dinner here tonight. Fish & chips was great! I tried the French onion soup because it was suggested and it was phenomenal. The atmosphere was nice. It’s a small local Irish pub. Authentic. My friend had the homemade pasties (sausage inside puff pastry with a Cajon honey mustard) and it was great also. My waitress was very attentive and my drink never emptied. 5 stars for this one.

I have been to O’malleys quite a few times now and have always enjoyed it. They have great hours for the late night crew. It was our regular hang out spot for our hockey team after games. They have great deals on Sundays. They do 50 cent wings and $ 3 beers.
The staff has always been pretty nice and the atmosphere is pretty solid. They sometimes have live music and also have tables with heaters outside if that is more your style. Their BTLT sandwhich is probably my favorite. As a whole I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for a good Irish dive bar.

Comfortable neighborhood Irish pub in the Raleigh suburbs. It has a pretty generic, although tasty, menu with a couple of particularly good options. such as the French Onion soup. They also have live music every night.
Beer/​drink is decent, and doesn’t try too hard – what they serve, they do well, with no extra frills they don’t.

This is just another Irish bar as far as I could see. They do have live music, but that means nothing to me. The people working were friendly and hospitable. To me nothing was special about it. It is a good solid average Irish bar. If that’s what you want, this is the right place for you!

This is solely based on my experience of having lunch there (because there is no other food place around the famous ice cream place near by) .
Pretty poor service. The lady that initially served us water just left for the day after that and no one else bothered to check with us till at least 15 mins later. Beer selection is pretty standard. No local stuff. Food is meh. Stale chips, sub standard sandwiches and pizza. Only decent part was the ambiance.

I am a big fan of this Irish pub! The food is economical and GOOD! In the past I have enjoyed their fish and chips, shepard’s pie, some type of roast beef sandwich goodness, house salad, fries, and chicken wings. There are so many other items, particularly sandwiches, which my friends rave about but I have yet to have the pleasure of eating.
A thumbs up to the ambiance inside. Cozy wooden booths, unique hanging lamps, and very Irish feeling. The staff are great. Aaaand this is a perfect place to order Guiness on draught & they also have Smithwicks in bottles (and a Tuesday beer special). O’Malley’s is one of my go-​to spots. Good stuff!

Great atmosphere and staff! Very friendly and attentive. The shepherds pie is really good and the portion size with a side salad is perfect. The bangers and mash were really great, also. I highly recommend the Elvis desert. We will plan our next visit later in the evening for drinks and entertainment.

Oh my ghee. Great patio and friendly staff. I usually dont like patios in parking lots but this one is different. Had breakfast, eggs and hashbrowns. Yummy! With a mimosa $ 4 on sat. A hidden gem in cary!

Awesome neighborhood bar in North Raleigh. My husband and I are always on the lookout for good places to eat that don’t break the bank, and O’Malley’s is a welcome addition to our list!
The restaurant is located in a plaza, so it’s hard to find if you’re not looking for it. The dining area is pretty tiny — low ceilings probably don’t help. We came here for the first time on a Saturday night. The place wasn’t too crowded. There was a live band playing, which was nice. We picked a booth away from the bar. O’Malley’s has great service and an impressive beer list — lots of crafts. I had a couple Fat Tires.
For dinner, I had the fish sandwich with sweet potato fries. My husband had the shepard’s pie. My sandwich was delicious — and it was only $ 8! What’s not to love?! The sweet potato fries were seasoned perfectly. I could taste the brown sugar/​cinnamon, but it wasn’t overpowering. I had a few bites of the shepard’s pie, as well. Small portion, but very hearty. I think our total bill (dinner for two, four beers and two shots) was under 40 bucks.
We’ll definitely be back!

This was wonderful! The food was great. The fish and chips– on point! I will be back.

My number one bar in Raleigh. The go to spot for late night food and drinks!

Omailys is a great hidden gem. It’s located right off of Glenwood ave in a small strip. The owners are very accommodating and ensure their food is top notch.
I’ve been here numerous times and can’t resist ordering the Irish dip every time. I’m sure the rest of their menu is delicious, but I’m a creature of habit! I recommend Omailys to anyone wanting a nice place to grab a cold drink and some good food.

Had a Ruben and Goose Island beer. The Ruben was beyond awesome and the goose island beer was great too. I’ll be going back soon.

Classic local Irish pub. Live music every night, cheap beer specials, good food, indoor/​outdoor seating, friendly staff and great mainstay people.
I”m not a regular, only been a few times, but I’ve had a great time each time. There’s always some type of scene here. Which I think is a good thing, because nobody enjoys a flat atmosphere. It’s fun.

Been there a couple times. Food was great servers were nice. Have bands at night and it seems like a great local place.
Love a good Irish pub and they serve breakfast too.
Pool and games, booths, definitely a good time

O’Malley’s, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I live near this little hidden treasure and eat or stop in to listen to music several times a week.
I love, love, love their shepherds pie, their bacon sandwiches, and the bottlecaps (yum). Their prices are very reasonable and they have live acoustic or band music every night.
The atmosphere is pub-​ish and it is a great place to go if you are new to the area and don’t know many people. Everyone is friendly and most regular customers are outgoing — so perhaps you will meet a new friend? It is like the «Cheers» of Raleigh.
Recommend, recommend, recommend.
(As a side note, I was in O’malleys when the customer Adeyosola – who wrote a negative review and called Lisa racist – ordered food, had it prepared, then decided she didn’t want it or didn’t want to pay for it. She was irrate, rude, and made a loud fool of herself simply because she was asked to pay for the food she ordered. Lisa never once treated her unfairly, unkindly, or «racist» and I’m completely angry that the lady would write such trash on here.)

Thank you fellow Unilocalers for turning us on to this place! Having driven by it a gazillion times over the years, it honestly never called out to me to come in and try it. Let’s face it, the strip center location isn’t overly appealing, not to mention it’s old as heck. But walk inside and we were quickly charmed by this old gem.
It appears they are open long hours. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for lunch. Service was energetic, informative, and just plain entertaining and helpful. We had both a guy and a gal tag-​teaming us, and I mean that only in a positive way. It wasn’t too much.
Intending on hitting the gym later, we both sadly passed on the Guinness that was crying out to us. Went with unsweetened iced tea instead, which was very good.
We asked about favorites, and it was hard to pick. I wanted something I had never had before, so I went with what they call Parnell Pasties. «Flaky puff pastry stuffed with sausage and baked to a golden brown, served with cajun honey dijon.» It also came with a side salad. Husband chose the Irish Dip: «Thinly sliced grilled roast beef topped with mozzarella cheese and served on a toasted sub roll with au jus».
First the salad came out. We shared it. It was a very nice blend of greens that included spinach, along with chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, a little onion, croutons and cheese. They make most of their dressings, so I went with a balsamic that they make and it was great.
The Parnell Pasties were just as described on the menu, except the menu didn’t mention that there were six of them, and they were large and somehow both light and rich at the same time. Perfectly cooked, the sausage inside was delicious, and the crust was so light and flaky. Dipped into the mustard… perfect! I could only eat two of them, however. Husband ate one, and I brought three home. As good as these are, I do believe they would make a much better appetizer.
Husband’s Irish Dip was excellent also! I did manage to get a bite out of him. It was packed full of nice lean beef, and the au jus was so flavorful. He really loved the homemade chips that came with it. Said they might be the best ones he’s ever had.
Meanwhile behind us, we heard a couple talking about how they had the best reuben they’ve ever had.
So, not only does this place have character (including a foosball table and pool table… plus cute figures over the bathrooms to tell you which is which), but the food and service are excellent! We WILL be back!
