Editorial Review for O'Reilly's Irish Pub and Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Old-World charm comes to life with mahogany woodwork, exquisite stained glass and walls adorned with antique weaponry, Irish-heritage photos and a mural of Guinness-toasting gents. Additional relics are imaginatively presented, giving the space a fresh feel: Vintage oak barrels double as tables and are topped with candle-corked wine bottles, while bodhrans (Celtic drums) are lit from the inside and serve as ceiling lamps.
The Draw
Young hipsters, old-timers and 9-to-5ers toast imported beers, mingle at the bar, and play selections from a classic rock-stocked jukebox, while families take to an adjacent dining room with church-pew benches. The traditional Irish menu offers a plethora of deep-fried seafood starters, including savory crab cakes and excessively battered prawns. Buttery whipped potatoes make tolerating the spotty service worth it, but heaping portions don't save entrees; beef stroganoff and chicken breasts ladled in gravy are only a trifle better than typical pub grub.

Good menu and good food, but.... But I haven't eaten there since we were sitting at the bar having a beer and saw 15-20 c...........s running all over the place. Would hate to see the what was behind the walls.
