O'Briens Irish Pub

2226 Wilshire Blvd

May 22nd 1994, Willy O'Sullivan, a native of Cork City, opened O'Brien's. It soon became a huge favorite of the then, booming Irish ex-pat population. He's still the owner and works behind the bar on a regular basis. Though the local Irish population has diminished, O'Brien's has evolved to appeal to locals, but still retains that warm authentic feel of a real Irish Pub. It's also a great place to watch any sporting event. We are the home of the LA Manchester United Fan Club The Leed's Utd. fan club and the NY Giants Fan Club. with 20 TV's inside and on the patio, the atmosphere is electric. But, if you just want a quiet drink or meal, hear a story, from one of our experienced friendly bartenders, meet friends, or make new ones, there's no better place. If you have just moved here or, if you're just visiting, you'll feel right at home. The critics have spoken! With more than 4 stars on all the review sites, our customers, speak very highly of our beers, food and mostly the warm service.
