O'donnell's Pub

Run of the mill dumpy ass dive bar that always has something going on. On the weekends, everyone who is out drinking eventually floats down here. The place gets extremely packed with bored locals and grizzled military guys. The service can be pretty crappy depending on who your bartender is and you may have to wait 10-15 minutes for a drink so double fist it to maintain your thirst.

*Word to the wise: Don't mess with the military folks in this area

This local spot is where everyone migrates to towards final call in downtown Southern Pines! This is where you can just cut loose and really get a taste of the night life of the Pines, trust me if it's not going on here, then it's not going on ANYWHERE!

I came to the sad realization that I have only reviews of bars where I've had bad experiences. There are plenty of bars that I thoroughly enjoy on all counts and O'donnell's is one of them.

I was introduced to the place by one of my childhood friends and it is like a second home to him. The bar tenders are nice, friendly, attentive and frequently hang out on their off days. This should be a given but considering the experiences I've had at a lot of bars this is actually a rarity. The drinks are fairly priced, there is a billiards table and the music is pretty good.

Weekends they have live music and Sundays two of the regulars take control of the music and put on a nice, if somewhat comical, mix of their personal favorites.

If you find yourself in need of something to do O'donnell's is the place to go hands down.
