  Total dump, the new owners have no conception on how to operate a bar.

  Ehh...this place has potential, as it is fairly nice inside, has a few TVs, live music on some nights, and a good beer selection.
  
  However, you are more likely to feel like you are crashing a private party because the owner and all his biker buddies are usually sitting at the bar. I've been there 5 or 6 times and I always felt like an outsider. Very uncomfortable. He's the previous owner of O'Houston's and that place had the same vibe, and ultimately closed.
  
  Barley Mow a block away is a much better choice, in my opinion.

  Great selection of beer. BUT they are playing a hallmark movie, sound of movie on full blast and lights all the way up - plus a woman is sitting here crying because of this stupid movie at the bar. Seriously? There is a big group of us here who wanted to go to a BAR not a freaking chick flick movie. Fail in my book. Don't come here on a Wednesday night. Evidently the bartender doesn't car about anyone else except for the one patron that doesn't have television at home.

  This is a fun place.  The owners are extremely friendly. O'Shys hosts a drum circle on Wednesdays and has twice now hosted the band "The Craic" which is an amazing pipe and drum group.  This place is the hub of Largo's first Friday event. I am sure this will grow.  Bottom line this place along with the owners and staff is absolutely awesome.

  I think this place changed owners. I tried going twice this week & there were kids running around there all day on a Saturday, which meant no cursing (in a bar?!?!). The bartender I used to go in to see knew a ton about craft beers, but last time I went in there he was there but wasn't behind the bar - instead there was a woman in charge who didn't know anything about the beer selection at the bar, or about craft beer in general. In the past, they've had good music on Fridays...once I came in and there was an insanely good funk band playing here, this time it looked like they literally been replaced by a band of tepid high schoolers and a bunch of underage kids. If that's what I want to see on a Friday after a long work week, I can go stand in line for the latest Twilight movie. This place is a cheap beer bar with no food or liquor, clearly it's supposed to be a watering hole, but they have nothing there that would make an adult want to park in here. Are they turning it into a rec center? They also keep postponing First Friday every month, which doesn't bode well. Sadly, I think this place is looking to change, but not in a direction I'm feeling :(
