John O'Brien Pub — Restaurant in West Cork

If you are in Clonakilty I recommend poping into John O'Brien's Pub for some food and a quiet drink! The staff are very friendly and attentive! The bar is very clean and there is a big area out the back to sit down and enjoy some drinks. The menu is small but the food here is fantastic, hearty and very tasty! We got the Buffalo Wings which were great, fresh and crispy just as wings should be! We also got a roast beef and a roast turkey & ham with a side of homemade chips for our mains! Everything was very good and it really hit the spot for what we wanted! They also have a fun bar game every Friday night I believe called "Crack the Case" where you try to guess the right key to open the case with a cash prize! The only thing I would suggest is to jazz up the menu as it is a bit basic. What I mean by that is the printed menu's. Just to jazz them up. All the food on the menu was fantastic! I feel the menu should protray that because if you pass by John O'Brien's for somewhere else to eat then you are missing out! I will definitely be back for some of your fantastic food when I'm passing through Clon...

Lovely Bar in Clonakilty Town, near the courthouse. Sports and Music. Very welcoming staff. Great walled outdoor area at the back fully getting the sun. Dog friendly with water bowl provided. Food I’ve had here , has always been of the highest quality. I’ve never left a thing behind. Personally I find it very reasonably priced, for what you get .

So far - I’ve eaten the double smashed patty burger . The lasagne . Hot wings with blue cheese sauce. The Chicken Burger and the Goujons and chips.

All perfect with not one single negative to say about anything ! Great portions , great quality and great price .

Pop in and say hello, tell them the dog man...

Warm, friendly. What more do you want? Good people in a good place looking out for each other.

In england you'd call it a horse and cart and then the man said he had, at which point I was too drunk to nitpick over language, but he had a covered wagon he travelled in with his dog and he was going to add a wood burner.

He had a son in Portugal.

He was doing fine. As was the barman though it was busy & he was on his own. Young folk too.

Definitely recommend. And try the Clonakilty...
