O’Blarney’s Irish Pub

Good food and kind servers, this is one of our favorites. We usually come early in the day for lunch, so I can’t speak to the bar portion, but the food is good and the servers are very thoughtful and kind!

This was the first time here. We wanted something different for lunch. I had the corn beef and cabbage. My wife had a Reuben sandwich. Their corn beef is the best I have had outside of New York City. The service was good and the prices reasonable. Great atmosphere. Casual and comfortable.

Very good food and service. My family and i stopped in for a bite Thanksgiving Eve. The server was kind enough to take some family photos. I usually stop in once a year when Im in town from Phoenix and this place is consistantly good.

Just had the chicken pot pie. It was good but there was a chicken bone in it. I almost swallowed it. When I pointed it out to the waitress she just said «oh I will have to let them know». She then proceeded to hand me my bill. Not sure if she even bothered to tell anyone as nobody acknowledged it or bothered to even speak with me. Be careful if you order the chicken pot pie.

Rushed and ran out of special but waitress was awesome been here several times and it is hit and miss on everything only reason we keep coming back is it is close to home

Our first visit here. It was crowded being a Saturday night and with football on, but we found one of the last tables to sit.
The service was very good. Our server was very friendly and kept checking back with us.
I ordered the chicken pot pie, which is normally one of my favorites at other restaurants. But not in this restaurant. The chicken was plentiful but had an ‘off’ taste. Not sure if it was from being frozen to long or what but after a few pieces I couldn’t eat any more of it. The crust on top was dense and tough. The only decent part was the peas and carrots. This was the worst chicken pot pie I’ve ever had.
My husband ordered the corn beef and cabbage. The serving was very large and plentiful. He said it was good.
We finished our night with an Irish coffee. Now that was yum!
We would return here again, and would try something that other reviewers have said was good.

This used to be our favorite spot, even after we moved across town. The food is still good and the beer is still cold, but they no longer show UFC fights and all the awesome servers that worked here are gone and have been replaced by flippant, dismissive servers (except like two). The last two times I’ve been here, I have had to flag down a server to get menus and a drink order in. It’s a shame that the service has gone down so much that I have been on the hunt for a new regular drinking hole.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that Thursday nights are pub quiz nights. So if you don’t feel like shouting to your drinking buddy over obnoxious groups yelling, maybe go after 10pm.

Been there a few times and wasn’t impressed. Over priced drinks and under quality foods. It’s like eating in a cafeteria. You think you’d put a little money into a place of you want to get people to come. Recently I learned that they are refusing to serve people who are not Seahawks fans now too. I’m not into supporting a bigoted business. Especially for one just for liking a football team. But I guess that’s what you get with an Irish bar.

I had the Shepard Pie and it was delicious. The meat was well seasoned and the proportion of meat to veggie (carrots and onions) was perfect. The garlic mashed potatoes on top were great too. And they have really good soda bread.
The décor is Irish, but not overdone or cheesy at all.
My only complaint (and reason for only 4 stars) is the lackluster service. We got what we needed, and got it fairly quickly, but our server was terse with us and the other tables and not really adept at multitasking.
We will still stop by our next time passing through town. :-)

The entrée in question is ‘Bangers n’ Mash.’
The sausage link was very tasty, before today I had zero respect for British based cooking, but I was dead wrong. It’s incredible how they take an entrée with a fundamental concept and actually make it appetizing.
Ladies and gentlemen if you love that balanced flavor fusion between salty and sweet then you’ll love O’Blarney’s Bangers N’ Mash!!!
5 Stars HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, so happy I took my old man here for a free dinner. Lmao
All the best

Cute, if somewhat older, pub/​restaurant. My husband and I stopped here after looking for deals on
and buying a certificate for $ 25. Checked the reviews and seemed decent, plus we love Irish pubs. We both ordered steaks (he the 12 oz and I the 10 oz) and they were beautiful. Cooked exactly to medium rare as we had asked, seared perfectly on the outside. The soda bread served with the meal is AMAZING, and the beer buddies and fried shrooms were icing on the cake. We got to enjoy the 2015 allstar baseball game with great food and a very sweet waitress. Two thumbs up for this trip. Will be going back again!

My favorite place for darts! Also the the patio and the wait staff here are awesome! The food is really good too (since I see this place as more of a bar than a restaurant). Word of advice, be nice at this place. It’s got a big heart.

I was thinking about giving this place four stars because of the price/​food quality, but the service is what knocks it down for me.
It’s a fun local hangout with a large menu, good food, and okay-​ish service. Now, the servers aren’t ‘rude’ per say, but they are inattentive and slow — especially during lunch time — a time that most business people want to get in and get out in a reasonable amount of time. So, if that’s what you’re going for, this place is not it — in my experience.
Now, for dinner/​late night snacks and drinks — this place is really really fun. Large crowds of people, lots going on (good for the people watching) and for some reason the servers step up their game, so that’s nice as well. :)
This place isn’t really an Irish bar… but, then again — hardly any of them are, but don’t let that deter you — the food is really good, always hot and extremely reasonably priced.

The Thursday night trivia is amazing, the host is fantastic. The drinks are good.
I would give this place more than 2 stars, except there is a waitress who is so unbelievably rude to me every time I am there. She doesn’t bring me drinks (I had to go ask at the bar for my drink because she had not brought it over and did not return to my table for over half an hour). I have Celiac disease and they do have a gluten free list, which is nice even though it is very limited. But this particular waitress will roll her eyes at me every time I ask for it (yes I know it hasn’t changed, but I don’t have the whole menu memorized, so yeah I’d like to look at it again please). I don’t trust her because she doesn’t seem to take my concerns seriously. Celiac disease is a serious condition and I’m not some fad dieter — but even if I were, what business is it of hers? No paying customer deserves to be treated the way this woman has treated me every time I visit. She is rotten.
There is another waitress there who is an absolute delight, but I haven’t been able to sit in her section lately. I wish they all could be like her.

O’Blarney’s sent my sister an email for $ 12 off her birthday dinner. After reading the email on her phone and supposedly calling her manager, the waitress said she wouldn’t honor the deal as it was not printed up.
Nowhere on the email did it say the deal needed to be printed up. We offered to forward the email back to them. Nope.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOT.

GET THE SODA BREAD! I ordered bangers and mash and i thought it was pretty tasty. The wife ordered Rueben sandwich and she said it was great. The Soda bread is sooo good it makes u want to just eat that and nothing else. The only negative I should say is that the Gizzards that we ordered took a long time to get to us considering it was an appetizer. They brought it out the same time as our main meal. Once it got to us, the gizzards were crunchy and very tasty! I recommend getting gizzards along with soda bread. The décor could use a little updating in my opinion

Nice, local, home town tav with a casual feel. No yuppie or political overtones. Just good beer and food selections with a laid back clientele. Not really irish Irish but still fun. Friendly, hard working, staff keeps things moving. There is a dining room for families, away from the bar area.
There is often something going on (rafflies, trivia nights, charity events…) as well. Hardly ever dull.
They are a great supporter and big friend of a local children’s cancer research fund, «Friends of Mia» to which I volunteer. We are thankful of their support and participation in the community.

Been there a few times now and have been happy each time. The wings are delicious!
Our servers have been friendly and most of the time pretty quick to take your order.

I have only been here for breakfast, but I love their chicken fried steak. I live in the Olympia area and have been here twice now. It isn’t often that you can find somewhere that has a fully homemade chicken fried steak and gravy that is clearly fresh made with big chunks of sausage like this. I got it with the biscuit and the biscuit is one of those ugly house made biscuits that always tastes way better than some pretty thing out of a can.
Their menu is small, but based only on the chicken fried steak, this place is awesome. It is a nice little restaurant with quick friendly service that is a great stop for a quick diner breakfast.

It’s cute when a place claims to be «Irish», isn’t it? What’s obnoxious is when you go in and can’t figure out how they get away with making that claim.
The «Irish» theme gained huge popularity about 20 years ago for our culture, with Boondock Saints, Colin Farrell, U2 not sucking so hard, and the Cranberries being hugely popular.
Sadly, it seems like this was about the time that O’Blarneys may have peaked in popularity, as well. The entire restaurant smells like old beer, the carpets and décor are mismatched, random, and outdated. Also, I understand the concept of a sports bar, but there are SO many TVs playing different sports events everywhere, that it is confusing and distracting. Do people really go to sports bars to make sure that they can watch tennis, racing, basketball updates, and random ESPN commentary shows all at the same time?
Additionally, the seating area is massive and very open, so if you go here anytime other than a major sports event, the restaurant will seem extremely empty. Because of the stools located everywhere, it felt like we never had any privacy, and drunk patrons kept lingering close to us as they wandered near the pool table.
That being said, there are a few positives to O’Blarneys. The waitstaff seems to be trying their best to overcome the limitations of the restaurant and they were very courteous and accomadating. Our food was better than average, and we were given a few free drinks while we were there which made-​up for the weak atmosphere and belligerent drunks.
However, even with the free drinks, I wouldn’t be back. Sorry, O’Blarneys, but it doesn’t seem like you can decide what kind of place you really want to be when you grow up.
