Irish pub with shepherd's pie, fish & chips, and live music



























"Thomas Christopher (“T.C.”) O’Leary, who started his career working as an actor on the Irish soap opera Fair City, opened his Alberta Street bar in 2016. O’Leary’s has a traditional Irish pub feel, with a dark wood-heavy, minimalist vibe that serves as the setting for bowls of seafood chowder with house-made soda bread, followed by Guinness brownies with Irish cream drizzle. Irish beers like Guinness, Smithwick’s, and Kilkenny are served on draft, in addition to a good selection of Irish whiskey, Irish coffee, mulled wine, and other cocktails."


"Portland isn’t exactly rife with Irish bars, so T.C. O’Leary’s has the corner on that market in the Alberta Arts District. You know you’re getting close when you see the red brick building on the corner, decked out with green Guinness banners and shamrock motifs. Try one of the Irish classics on the menu — think shepherd’s pie or seafood chowder served with soda bread — or opt for the burger topped with bacon jam and arugula." - Krista Garcia
