O’Briens Tavern

dive bars rule… yuengling ice cold… yum yum yum !!!

O’Briens is great. The regulars are really friendly, and so are the bartenders. There’s a reason why its still here and its because of the regulars and the fun atmosphere.
–This is a neighborhood dive bar, so don’t expect a lounge or some fancy establishment with overpriced liquor. Its mostly bar side seating with a couple of tables for groups of people.
I usually don’t eat bar food, or anything other than fries. However, my bartender recommended I try their roast beef. It came with mashed potatoes and corn. And it was absolutely amazing; at least for a dive bar. I was really surprised.
Recommend: Don’t miss their fish and chips on Friday! Its actually fresh caught fish that the bar purchases.
+Pool Table
+Wii nights
+ Karaōke nights
+Jukebox
+2 large TVs
+6 packs to go in case you want to finish the party at home.

Everyone else who has rated this bar is an idiot. Are you comparing it to the Ritz? Have you noticed that you’re in Somerset, NJ? This is not your average white trash hipster dive. In fact, none of those words actually apply to the sheer magic that is O’Brien’s Tavern.
This bar is amazing. It’s clearly attached to someone’s house and furnished with random things found at garage sales near the Shore. Its pool table is poorly lit, its local sports games blare loudly on two large flat screen televisions, and half empty bottles of very regular liquor stand out against the bar’s turquoise walls and loose wires. This place is so goddamn authentic, you spend 3 minutes wondering if you’ll get murdered before realizing that this is the perfect venue to let loose and have a wonderful time with someone you just met on the Internet. We ordered a Yuengling, and the bartender asked us if we were kidding. Five Bud Lites later (each), we were having a blast, minding our own business, and completely certain that we had found the Hidden Gem of Somerset. It’s a cheap, knitty-​gritty hunter’s hole in the wall that is so delightfully different from anywhere I’ve ever been that there is absolutely no question that I’m coming back and bringing my entire crew.
Again, don’t listen to other reviewers; listen to me. The others are blinded by the enormous sticks up their butts. Stop reading this and get in your car.

Definitely a dive bar but the drinks are cheap and the bartenders are very nice. They have a pool table and a dart board that are usually open to use. If your not looking for too many people and cheap drinks. This is the place.

It is a dive, and while I have no problem rating a dive bar as okay, this one is pretty beat up.
That said, cheap beer and food.
I might strole in again one day, but its not my thing. However it might be yours. They have their regulars and have been around a long time.

Three words: white trash dive
