When I'm not lawyering, Yelping, trading stocks or hosting dinners I'm solving the JFK assassination(what should really be called the Right Wing Coup of 11/22/63)……More about that later.
After the nice subpoena clerk in Brooklyn Supreme Court told me I had to come back in two hours because her office was closing, I had two hours to kill. I decided to plop my butt down at O'Keefe's Bar & Grill to enjoy a burger and brew and read "The Dark Side of Lyndon Baines Johnson", a book everyone should read.
A pleasant young female server greeted me in the dining area.After she patiently answered my questions about the respective merits of two Sierra Nevada brews, I chose the Pale Ale.
It came just as I like it: cold, refreshing and delicious. I ordered a Bacon & Cheddar Burger. The 8 ounce beauty arrived perfectly medium as requested. It was full of mineral flavor and luscious, making my taste buds do Karaoke.The generous portion of accompanying fries were of the crisp variety. They were tasty and not greasy.
For those of you under 40, the key to understanding the 1963 coup is googling "Lyndon ducks". But I digress…..after enjoying my great burger and brew I'm handed a check with my server's name…….. "Marina"…..the same as Oswald's wife. Synchronicity baby!!!!!!
Mediocre Irish pub, actually it is more of an American sports bar and grill despite of an Irish name. It lacks all the traditional Irish food staples:
Corned Beef & Cabbage Casserole
Dublin Coddle
Beet Cabbage & Pecan Salad
Irish Soda Bread
Shepherd's Pie
Shamrock Salad
Whiskey Cake
Irish Colcannon
Irish Potato & Leek Soup
Potato Farl
Boxty
Saturday night out in town with party of two. We dined to bacon grilled cheese $8.70 and one turkey burger $11.95. No alcohol intake for either of us. My turkey burger was okay as it was not juicy but MEH. Service is extremely too efficient as upon sitting down we did not have time to scan thoroughly the menu to make a selection.
I pass by this place all the time and finally took the plunge and walked in. I was thoroughly impressed with how big the space is (because it looks small-ish from the outside). They have an array of beers and liquors to quench your thirst. And even food! (I didn't eat but it smelled pretty tasty–I'll try it next time I go).
Friendly staff, friendlier patrons, and great prices. Be sure to stop by if you're in the neighborhood!
I'll definitely be back.
Lots of TVs, great for the games! Draft beer selection… a-ok! Food quality… mediocre. Excellent service tho!
I would definitely come back to O'Keefes.
From the staff and the prompt service this place is certainly on top of my list of bars.
The chicken wings didn't disappoint either and anyone that knows me I'm a wing guy. I can travel an hour for good wings yes I'm crazy.
So finding a place in Brooklyn close to home that has good wings that's a win.
Drinks were pretty good and I will be back.
This was on of my Saturday excursions with my forever +1 and it was all the way around decent. It is definitely a sports bar seems like a great place to watch any sporting event. The food is basic bar/dinner food. Nothing that will change your life.
They have a jukebox if you wold like to play your own music which is pretty cool, and they also have another seating area upstairs.
Service is great even when it was St. Patrick's Day. Stopped in for lunch and was thrilled to see Smithwicks on draft.
However I have to say that I wasn't as fond of the fish and chips. The chips were good of course. But the fish didn't have a nice taste. It wasn't like the usual fish and chips I have at British places. Maybe a different type of fish?
But all things considered, I'd still come back because it was an overall positive experience. Just not get fish and chips. Or maybe just chips.
I stopped in on a Monday night for a quick bite. I've been here before and it's your pretty typical wannabe Irish bar. As it was Monday night they had a decent $4 pint special as well as $.50 wings. The wings were pretty good, especially for $.50 each. They were cooked well and a decent size, sometimes places with inexpensive wing specials give you these tiny baby wings. I'd probably go back for cheap wings again if I was in the area but otherwise there's nothing really special about this place.
