Description

There are a lot of Irish sports pubs that look like O'Brien's, with the semi-cavernous room, low ceilings, exposed brick wall, and fleet of framed boxing and rugby photos. None of those others, however, have a "Sin Bin"--the upstairs balcony area where oppressed smokers can puff it out in peace. The bar is populated by the Harp-sipping, backwards-hat sort, drawn in by the place's dedication to rugby, college sports, and live-music acts with John Mayer-channeling Guitar Faces.
