Little Gem downtown. Quite, drama free relaxing atmosphere. They also have live music at times. They have traditional Irish bites & pub foods aka bangers. Knowledgeable staff and great beers on tap. Be it local or craft they have an array and change things up frequently. The bar tenders know how to make any drink you ask for. There is no cover when there is no band which is perfect for me. Outdoor seating is also available & there is no smoking inside which is great for us non smokers

Hubby took me here on date night and I loved the atmosphere. Super chill. Enjoyed my jack and coke. Well portioned. Every employee was very friendly. We tried the Sheppards pie and fish and chips. Chefs kiss. Perfect. We sat in the smaller area and made our drinks very enjoyable and intimate. Also...tons of beer options. Hubs was a kid in a candy store.

The best pub in Temple. The crowd is cool, and the owners are two of the kindest people Ive ever met. I always have a good time going to OBrian. If you want to relax and have a good brew, this is the place. There is a large variety of beer, and there whisky selection is pretty good too. I like that they have daily beer deals and an easy menu for light eats.

Perfect place to get away from everything I know but thats just me. Greg the bartender is an awesome dude to include a veteran not just there to work but entertain, provide insight of what drink you may or may not be thinking about and just give you that additional reason behind why you left wherever you were and make OBriens Irish Pub the home away from home!!! Parking: Street parking and parking lot around the spot.

Apparently this big tall bartender didnt feel like working last night. Maybe its because it was a dead bar on a Friday night. Anyway, this bartender that works for this place was just chilling at the bar drinking. He was mad because I was making progress on the only girl in this place. Lol He wanted to fight at closing time. I hooked up with the girl in the end. Guess hes still at the bar looking for someone to fight Pass this place up yall

I really like this place, had a good selection of beer for all different types of taste buds. The setup is really cool, open floor plan with an upstairs as well. Limited food menu, but the food they did make was great. Had cheese curds, breaded mushrooms, fried fish and the bangers and mash. Not disappointed at all! Definitely want to go back again but when they have live music, as they didnt have it the day I went.

I had a pretty good time here at the bar, atmosphere was good, live music was great, and the bartenders were great at being bartenders. I didnt order any food but the comments make it sound mediocre. Im not gonna drop an opinion on something I didnt try. Atmosphere: The pub has a main floor and an upper floor with plenty of seating. Its a standard American version of an Irish Pub (Ill let you decide what you think that means) with green lights and shamrock decorations everywhere. Thankfully there werent any four leaf clovers. I see those at a lot of Irish pubs and shake my head. The live music was country themed (its Texas you country music is king here) and the band was pretty good. Community: The community was amazing. Mostly older individuals here, you wont see too many young people which isnt a bad thing. My fiancé and I were the youngest at 21, however, that didnt change our experience. The staff and fellow customers were welcoming and engaging. One guy accidentally cut us in line (we werent bothered), and the guy felt bad and paid for my drink. The bartender at one point accidentally mixed the wrong liquor in my drink (it was really busy and again we werent bothered at all) and remade the drink and gave the one that was messed up to me for free. It was a very busy night and I could tell the bartenders were stressed, no need to take anger out on them. Ignore comments about the bartenders being bad, mistakes happen on busy nights. Pricing: The pricing was a bit higher than average pubs, not too big of a deal though it wasnt like an arm or a leg. Alcohol: Now here is where I had a little bit of a gripe. There is a pretty extensive selection of alcohol, and thankfully they actually carry a fair variety of Irish Whiskeys (some Irish pubs only have Jameson...) and beers. While the bartenders are great at being bartenders, the mixology at the bar isnt great. Now dont take this as a negative, I dont mean it in a rude way, but this is more of a beer and old fashions kind of pub and not a place for cocktails and mixed drinks. It is odd they have such a wide variety of alcohol and dont know all the amazing possibilities they can use that selection for. Now that being said, any recipe I gave the bartenders, they were able to make to the best of their ability. This tells me the bartenders are fully capable of making great mixed drinks which is awesome. Overall I had a great time and would recommend this pub for anyone in the area. Id challenge the pub owner to add some more traditional Irish cocktails. Oh, and they carry Tullamore Dew, which is my favorite Irish Whiskey. Hard Shandy, 1829, and Irish Manhattan would be great additions to the menu. 4.7 out of 5 for me.

OBriens is a great American-Irish pub. Yes it has that traditional Irish pub look, but it has that American Brew pub selection with easily 40 taps that are local beer focused but from every part of world and rotating. Last time I was there there was no Yellow Beer on tap (American Lager). Great selection of Central Texas beers and an awesome rotation. They usually have a special for around $9 that is solid pub grub. Steak fritz is common.
