O'Reilly's Irish Pub & Restaurant

Sorry, probably not for me. This place seemed like it could be fun and worth staying for a while. Not the case. Took 20 minutes in an empty restaurant for this chorizo zero flavor cheese dip. I think they forgot to put it in but… Bar service was fine but I probably wouldn’t return.

Update: I checked some other reviews with pictures and the only thing I can think of is people from Indianapolis don't know good food or have never been to any other Irish pubs. Good grief. A lackluster Irish pub in downtown Indianapolis. We came after a day walking around the city for a casual early dinner. We love Irish pubs and have found quite a few amazing ones in our travels all over the world, this was the worst one I've been too. Overall it wasn't terrible for a bar, just below average. The beers were decent, although with all the breweries in Indianapolis I would have liked to see more local brews. The Guinness was good and poured correctly though. I had one beer and would have ordered more, but the service wasn't good. It was quiet when we went. Maybe 3 other tables tops. Our waitress was good at first. Good greeting and helped us with the beers and menu. But once we ordered she barely came back and when she did, I didn't have time to ask for another beer. The food was very meh. If we were super hungry from walking around all day we probably would have eaten less than we did. I was told the fries were good and Lowry season, they were plain and bland. As stated, we didn't get a chance to mention anything and we were hungry. The sandwich I had was fine but the Irish Nachos we had were really sad. Probably the worst Irish Nachos I've ever seen. Overall with the amount of places nearby we made a poor choice but I wish them well. I hope this was just an off day or something, but I won't be giving them another chance. Not recommended.

The servers were nice but the food was awful.. The ruban bite appetizer was just all tortilla and a tiny amount of corned beef. And what's crazy is the cottage pie... Gross. The beef stew had no caramelization on the meat just grey sadness covered in a unflavored broth. These guys have no idea what seasoning is. Id avoid this place for food period. The drinks were very good though. The mashed potatoes had zero salt or so little they may have as well not of put any in. The best part of the food was the melted cheese.

Food is absolutely delicious! The owner, Joel, is friendly and welcoming and knows his food! Our bartender Liz was friendly and awesome to talk to! Definitely recommended to eat and drink here, especially during FDIC!

The sweet potato fries were great, the bread on the Ruben was very hard. Heads up, if you eat outside people smoke at the table even with the no smoking sign, that was very annoying! It's a small area and the smoke was right in our faces, we thought about complaining until we saw the guy that seated us smoking right by the sign too! We won't be going back! We also got bread pudding to go and they put whipped cream on very hot bread pudding (why heat it) and it was spilled everywhere and was a complete mess!

Excellent. Stopped by for a bit to see eat and was not disappointed. Welcomed at the door and shown excellent hospitality throughout the stay. Decent menu options with some excellent Irish choices, the Bangers and Mash was especially tasty. Nice clean ambiance. Worth a stop and visit.

Wow. We would’ve stayed, and I’m a big tipper, not they were so rude. Unbelievable for someone who travels nationally and internationally. Rushed and mistreated. Never again. AVOID!

if you are a michigan fan and like rude bartenders, this is the bar for you! osu fans do not enter, they will refuse to serve you, and dont make any jokes about it either or the manager/owner will tell you to “calm down” and “buzz off”! Oh and one of the waitresses mumbled under her breath that she was going to beat my friends ass🤣😦
