Great cocktails, great drinks, great staff. We just happen to need to go a little earlier ( 6:30) and it was charmingly full of families, which just meant about 15 kids under 5, So its playground loud. But thats Saturday early evening in a small town with few restaurant choices for families. Love the place, just need to go after the family time.

We’ve been to O’Neill’s before we were looking for a comfortable place with very good food to celebrate Mother’s Day, and I immediately thought of O’Neill’s. Never had a bad meal. The service is great and yes, it was a little loud because had a table at the bar but come on, it’s a pub. thoroughly enjoyed!
