O’Connor’s Public House

Normal priced drinks, chill place to hang if you’re not into the brazen fox and neighboring bars

Love it here great place great staff.

Not a bad bar. The only good one on Mamaroneck. Ill come here for liquid lunches and weekend hangs. I actually somewhat enjoy coming here. The wheel o shots in fun. The Brazen Fox sucks and O
Connors is actually tolerable with slightly better people. Don’t go to the Brazen Fox and go to O’Connors instead.
This is a solid four star bar (Its still a mamaroneck bar, and the built in horrible people of the Mamaroneck Ave crowd keeps any bar in White Plains from being truly great) but it loses one more star for the silly no hat policy. That is dumb.

FYI, they’ve bought an outside grill stand! So on good days, even in the dead of winter, check to see if their selection of hotdogs, burgers and other small and affordable selections are available!

Im a regular at oconnors (including weekdays). Would give this place 5 stars if it weren’t for the prices. $ 7 shots,$ 11 mixed drinks. About average for mamaroneck ave drink prices, however, as far as I know there’s no happy hour (if there is, the bartenders have never made me aware of it), and the drink specials aren’t great. Various other bars on the strip do $ 2 shot specials on weekdays. That’s my only complaint.
Otherwise, the service is great. Bartenders are friendly and engaging, especially Kenny. It’s a fun dive bar with a pool table, darts, and a nice outdoor patio in the summer with good seating. The music is very divey (taking back Sunday, fort minor, picture all those bands you used to listen to in high school) but during the weekends, later on in the night, is good. Jukebox should be updated.
The crowd is my favorite part of this place. Everyone I’ve encountered is friendly, chill, laid back and open minded. Dress is very casual. Pretty much anything goes. You’ll see people coming from work in anything from suits to Abercrombie flannels.
Great people, service, environment, casual dress, but pricey drinks. Everybody should check this place out. Spin the wheel and tip well!

Why do we continually frequent a pub with no food, that’s dirty, hit or miss bartenders and a barely functioning bathroom? Answer most commonly given? I want to see what will happen next! Seriously you never know what’s goign to walk into O’Connors! And that’s what’s so damned exciting about the place. It’s got a pulse and personality, character and intrigue. I can’t NOT go! You never know what’s gonna happen… suits drink with tattooed skinhead freaks, blue collars drink with gays… it’s all love here and no one is turned away. And that is exactly why the place has character and personality… nobody looking to start a problem goes there, everyone just gets along. And if you’re looking to have a few, isn’t that what you want?! God bless!

I started going to O’Connor’s because of the trivia nights. I still go religiously, every Tuesday, for Tom’s Trivia, but the bar itself has a great personality. Much more divey than any of the other bars on Mamaroneck Avenue. You won’t find any pretentious yuppies here. Just real people having a fun night out. The backyard area is great on a nice night, and they recently added a pool table, which made for an awesome slap bet between two of my friends.
Overall, O’Connor’s is just a chill bar with chill people. And they are dog friendly (but I wouldn’t bring Fido when it’s busy).

Definitely my favorite of the strips of bars on Mamaroneck Ave. It’s much more relaxed and quite different in that it plays rock over blasting top 40 hits. The drinks are just okay and the decorations are cool. If you’re looking for a good place to have a relaxed night, pick this one.

This a fun little place tucked along the many bars found on Mamaroneck Ave. They have all the good beers on tap: Stella, Redd Apple Ale, Blue Moon, etc. and the décor is lined with old magazine covers, bras and a bathtub (no kidding here). Prices are reasonable, the place is clean and the bartenders are friendly and easy to talk to.

Went here for their trivia night one night. It was impossible to make out what the announcer was saying, the speaker system sounded distorted, had feedback, and the bar noise was already at a roar. The floors were sticky and the clientele was a bit too laid back. There are better bars in White Plains.

This place was ok… more chill and relaxed for a White Plains bar but as the evening got later, suddenly baseball caps weren’t allowed on male patrons? I don’t know if the bouncer was annoyed at something they had done or? They were apparently fine for the first 3 hours we were there.
Prices were reasonable, bartenders nice.
More relaxed than other places on the strip.

Asked for a well vodka and pineapple, got a TALL automatically, not okay. Dick move. $ 20 minimum for credit card is also harsh for 2012.

Nice place to hang out, good selection of beer, and foo’s ball. My only gripe is with the music selection. O’Connors has a jukebox that people pay to hear music they want to hear. Recently I paid to play some hard rock/​heavy metal after getting sick and tired of hearing rap and hip-​hop for most of the night. All my songs were skipped over or only played a few seconds into the song before proceeding into the next song. I also heard other peoples’ selection of hard rock songs were skipped over too. I went up to the bartender and asked for a refund, he threw me a free beer and said «the machines sometimes skips songs» and left it at that. Of course the all rap and hip-​hop songs played with no interruptions throughout the rest of the night.

Originally I agreed with Dana and Keith.
This place was finally a pub in White Plains that was an actual pub and not just another snooty bar trying to pretend to be a pub (fyi, not allowing sneakers, having to have a button down shirt, etc makes you not a pub).
They have a cute backyard and the vibe was very chill.
The bartenders were nice and sassy (I loved watching one kick a guy out after he squirted her with hose from outback) and the bartenders were tough biker dudes.
My fear is that O’Connors is turning into the old Finn McCool’s with the old alcoholic bums. Like the last time we went in and same this dude sitting in the corner nearly passed out with his eyes rolling around and looking like he was going to puke. Or the time before that when I felt like I walked into Mars bar with all the old drunks at the bar leaned on the bar for support including that 50 year old woman with her ass crack hanging out hitting on everyone who walked by.
I hope that the clientele changes once it gets warm out — otherwise White Plains may have lost what could have been an actual pub.

Great hidden spot. Love catching a game here. Place is low-​key, juke box, darts; perfect spot to chill. Bartenders are awesome.

they were awesome.. UNTIL THEY GOT RID OF THEIR CUTE DJ ON THURSDAYS AND SATURDAYS

Selecting your «favorite» bar along Mamaroneck Avenue is really more of an exercise in determining the bar where you will:
1. Choke on the least amount of Axe,
2. See only 75% of the female clientele don something leopard or some sort of skanky dress from Express, and
3. Artfully dodge a bar fight.
Really, if I wanted to get the Jersey Shore experience, I’d just stay home and watch episodes on my DVR.
Welcome to the neighborhood, O’Connors! You have successfully passed the «Okay, I can tolerate you. Maybe you’re not half bad.» Test.
When we first arrived, LCD Soundsystem was blasting in the place. WIN.
Happy hour specials are Monday through Saturday from 11am to 7pm and feature $ 3.50 drafts and $ 5 martinis. Trivia on Thursday nights starts at 8:30. Two more wins!
Draft beers are actually respectable — Captain Lawrence, Goose Island, Sam Adams, Newcastle. When it’s not happy hour, a draft beer will set you back $ 5. Slightly cheaper than Lazy Boy, although the selection of beers is not as extensive.
The bartenders were extremely friendly and conversed with us here and there. We also got popcorn with our beer, which as we all know, helps us consume more beer. Everyone was happy.
There is a foosball table in back and in order not to alienate the bros completely, there is a beer pong table and a few HD TVs to watch a variety of college sports.
