While the outdoor patio provides a nice atmosphere, I felt as if I were left alone out there to fend for myself as far as service. Perhaps my expirience would've been different had I sat indoors...or perhaps not. Our waiter seemed annoyed that he had to bother with us and took over 20 minutes to come over for our drink order. Upon arrival, the Guiness was undersized and FLAT! After waiting around another 30 minutes or so without service, I decided to leave instead of sticking around for dinner as originally plannned. I left with the impression that the place was overly "touristy" and not worth the hype. I ended up having a robust, tasty Guiness and a meal served by a pleasant, attentive server at Mudville Pub. If looking for a good pint I would suggest skipping O'Briens and hitting Mudville or The Fastner.
Pros: outdoor patio
Cons: poor service, poor drink quality and portion sizes
