O'briens Irish Pub

My friend is a regular here so he took me here every day I was in town. Ashley, the bar manager is a master at making mixed drinks. Her chocolate martini was delicious, as well as the fruitloop and lemon drop martinis. I hope to come back during my next visit up there.

I don't know why these reviews are so bad! We got drenched walking around the riverwalk in the rain so we decided here was as good as anywhere else to get lunch (especially since everywhere else seemed to be a chain.)  My husband got shepard's pie which he said was tasty (and looked and smelled very good.)  They specifically brought out HP sauce saying it's traditionally what you eat with it (Is it, really? I don't know!)  I got a crabcake sandwich, it was pretty darn good, too! I got it on french bread which was fresh-tasting and toasted and the crab cake was very crabby and it was served with a little bit of nice salad greens and a cilantro mayo that was delicious and apparently made in house. Fries were just regular but the waitress did say they wait to fry them until the sandwich is half way ready so they'll be nice and hot and there's malt vinegar on the tables if you want it.   I also saw some Abita Purple Haze on the beer menu so the total absence of Abita seems to have been rectified for those who are concerned.  I just thought this was a nice place among alot of generic stuff in that outlet mall.

pure crap....been here twice.  
Once to drink, once to eat.  The drink selection is really limited (and NO ABITA!?)
The food isn't even pub food....its just microwaved home-ec fare.  I took my son here after we had a $50 gift certificate (and even that wasn't worth going for).

SBC is in desperate need of something different, something with some culture (not prefabricated chain restaurants), but this place isn't it.

Great decor, lousy service, bland menu, aggressive manager, and bitchy waitresses....nah, just go to Copelands
