Decided to check out this place for the first time yesterday - a great addition to downtown Nashua! Â It's nice inside and with all the TVs probably a great place to watch a game. Â
Our group ordered about 6 different appetizers, most of which were $5 for happy hour. Â All of the apps were great - we had wings, chicken fingers, risotto balls, fried pickles and a couple of others and they were all yummy. Â No leftovers! Â Would definitely go back!
Decent bar, but the beer selection is nothing special.
The food is substandard compared to the other places with pub food in Nashua. They're new so I'll give them time to change and may revisit this review in a year.
The waitstaff was friendly every time I was there, though some of them are more experienced than others.
It's not a bad choice to see a game. The focus of the place is sports, and they certainly don't skimp on TVs!
I went here tonight for dinner and few drinks with a friend of mine. Everything was excellent! The drinks were made well, the food was good, and the price was right. We sat outside and were able to enjoy the nice weather. I also watched the Bruins take the Stanley cup in game 7 with a bunch of friends at O'Brien's and couldn't have watched it at a better place! On top of the excellent food and drinks you'll find the staff to be very down to earth and are always on top of an empty glass in front of you.
Review Source:The BF and I went to watch the first half of the Celtics game and arrived about a half-hour before tipoff. We sat down at one of the bar tables because all of the seats at the actual bar were taken. This was fine, but it took a little while for one of the two bartenders to attend to us. The BF had an Irish Carbomb and a Guinness before we finally got menus--about twenty minutes after letting the bartender know that we would be eating, not just drinking. I understand that the bar patrons at the actual bar had requests and all, but we were very hungry. So even though the service got better as the night progressed--my water glass was filled, the BF never had an empty beer glass--it still needs some work.
But the food was pretty good! The calamari we split for our app was yummy. The portion was big and the calamari was not rubbery but tender. It came with two dipping sauces, a ranch-type sauce and a very chunky marinara. Our meals came out about fifteen minutes later. I ordered a spinach salad (hey, I was feeling Popeyeish), and the cook was not skimpy with the toppings: feta, red onion, and yes--BACON. I felt both healthy and naughty with the bright greens topped with salty, crispy goodness. The BF ordered fish and chips. The fish was not battered and fried but instead coated in panko crumbs, a change he enjoyed. And the fries were fresh. We were both members of the clean-plate club.
The prices were decent: $12 or so for the fish and chips, $8 for the salad, $8 or so for the calamari. The good-sized portions meant we walked out with full bellies, if not doggie bags.
The food is worth four stars, but the evening's rocky start servicewise is worth a star deduction. I'll go back, but I'll make sure to grab a stool at the bar next time. It's nice to have a sports bar in Nashua, and I hope that the service improves so that it can fill a much-needed niche in town.
Went on an unplanned errand run, figured we'd give it a try for a late lunch. Got to the door to the sounds of VERY loud group, that had obviously gotten their drink on. Almost spun around..and went across the street, but stayed.
Full bar, but limited on the beer. Yeah, I know they just opened, but would be nice to see something with more craft/local beers.
Menu--small and pretty much has the typical bar standards. I elected for the burger (advertised as grass fed), she ordered a panini. Aside from the annoyingly loud group that decided to hang there, place was quiet, clean (should be, it's new), but the atmosphere is almost sterile, not comfortable. Missing something. Plenty of televisions for gametime, but seems most are at the bar, leaving the rear of the house with limited viewing angles.
Food was good, burger, a bit on the small side, but tasted fresh. There are zero places to get a burger outside of Buckleys in Merrimack, so this one is no where near that, but cooked to order and seemed the higher quality grassfed. Plate was a burger and fries, thats it. Looked almost too basic. Her food was tasty and fires were standard but fresh (made to order)
Theyve been open for alittle while and dont think anything like a 'grand opening' or much advertising has been done, so it will sink or sail based on tweaking stuff here and there (interior, food, beer selection) and getting people in the door, as it's in a pretty non-descrip part of main street.
I imagine its a young/budweiser crowd that hangs there, so dont go expecting higher end sports bar grub or a more refined sports bar atmosphere (as seen in pics). Basic burger, fries, hotdog type of menu..so keep expectations low. Parking tip---park up by the library and use alley; comes out 3 doors away from entrance
O'Brien's Sports Bar recently opened in Downtown Nashua, inside the former Restaurant Adria space and across the street from Nashua Garden. This long narrow space was redone which has seating at the bar, high top table seating, and table seating. There are 12 flatscreen TVs (showing sports) mounted on the walls and above the bar.
The fully stocked bar offers mixed drinks, 18 beers on tap, as well as bottled beers too. The food menu offers pub style fare including Irish nachos, wings, seafood cakes, salads, burgers, reuben paninis, fish & chips, mac & cheese, steak tips, and grilled salmon.

I stopped in here to catch the Bruins game and to get something to eat. I started out with Fried Green Beans ($6.50), where were deep fried golden brown, not too greasy, and had a crispy breading and served with a cool ranch dipping sauce. The fried green beans were filling. Next, the Trinity Slider Burgers ($10.50), a trio of sliders, Mushroom (Swiss) Burger, Jalepeno (Cheddar) Burger, and Bacon (Cheddar) Burger, served with crispy golden fries, lightly salted. Each of the sliders were served on toasted buns with thick grilled beef and served rare (pink) inside. My buddy enjoys rare burgers, but I prefer the beef cooked medium well to well. I was given a box for the extra food I couldn't finish (eat for later during Sox game)
The food I had was pretty standard tasty pub food. I do have to try the Irish Nachos and Fish Tacos next time! The service was good and the food arrived to my table in timely order. I was also given a refill on my cold drink and wasn't rushed as I watched the hockey game shown on several TVs.
I like the atmosphere here (can get a bit loud), which is a good place to meet up with friends, catch the game, and enjoy drinks and good food. The manager mentioned that the place has been busy and was filled up (to around over 100 patrons) standing room around the bar during the Red Sox opening game.
CLOSED on Mondays
