O’Briens Sandwich Bar

I think this is the least busy of the sandwich shops that line the beacon south quarter courtyard. O’Briens used to be an institution in Ireland, somewhere that you loved getting your sandwiches; they had lots of fillings and fancy crisps. You didn’t mind paying loads for your sandwich; it was an O’Brien’s sandwich for god’s sake! Now though, it is on the bottom of my sandwich shop list, they are the same old sandwich that you got five years ago; nothing has changed, except the prices! They charge you for cheese as if it was a meat filling! Bold O’Briens! I think this is why the one in Sandyford is never as packed as the other places, there are better choices on offer now, different types of breads from slice pan, fancy crisps are common place now, so common that we don’t even think they are fancy any more. It really was a pity when you found out that lots of O’Briens were closing you like the idea of an Irish owned sandwich shop but at the end of the day would you really miss it? Not me!
