We had such a wonderful time at O'Hara's Restaurant and Pub! Everyone was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The atmosphere is warm and family-like — we truly enjoyed every moment. We’ll definitely be back in December, this time with a badge in our bag!

Had a great time at O’Hara’s Pub! The Guinness was perfectly poured, the staff were quick and friendly, and the burger was awesome. Highly recommend for anyone visiting downtown Manhattan.

Great find on the way from 9/11 Memorial. Good selection of drinks, friendly service and great atmosphere. Fantastic choice of rock music. I've been living in London for the last 18 years and I have to say none of my favourite bars there have such a great music. I know, it's very personal but... Going to visit again at the nearest opportunity.

We were looking for a place to eat and found this place after touring the 9-11 memorial. Loved the atmosphere and all the patches displayed on the walls and ceilings honoring 1st responders. Food and service was great! So glad we stopped in.

Good evening, I know I'm supposed to review the place, but I'm actually trying to inquir about shirts that you used to sell about 10 years ago Your email online isn't valid so I thought Id try this. My wife has one of your shirts and it's getting to be worn out (it's one of her favorites). I was wondering if you still sell them, and if do if you ship them? I would like to surprise her with a new one! Thank you so much for your help. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, Morgan

If you're looking for a cozy and welcoming spot with great food and a laid-back vibe, O'Hara's Restaurant and Pub is the place to be. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the warm, pub-like atmosphere – it feels like you're in a friendly neighborhood hangout, but with the kind of service and quality food that you’d expect from a top-tier establishment. I started with their classic Irish soda bread, which was freshly baked and served with creamy butter – the perfect way to kick off the meal. For my main course, I went with the fish and chips, and it did not disappoint! The fish was crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, and the fries were golden and perfectly seasoned. My friend had the shepherd’s pie, and she couldn’t stop raving about how hearty and flavorful it was. The staff at O'Hara's is absolutely wonderful – our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. The pub also has a fantastic selection of beers, including a few local brews, which complemented our meal perfectly. Whether you’re looking for a casual dinner or a place to hang out with friends, O'Hara's Restaurant and Pub is a must-visit. It’s the kind of place that makes you feel right at home with delicious food and excellent service.

I stopped by O'Hara's for a quick drink on a Saturday afternoon. It was around 12 PM and it was already pretty busy. Fortunately I found a seat at the bar, and immediately felt at home. The staff here are very warm and friendly. The walls are filled with police and firefighter patches, along with tons of 9/11 decor. This isn't surprising since O'Hara's is literally next to ground zero. I'll definitely return and try the food. It looks delicious!

After visiting 9/11 memorial or the One World trade center this is a good place for lunch. The interior is covered with badges from police and fire departments from all over the USA and even from other countries. We had the O'hara classic burger which was quite good. Would fully recommend eating at this restaurant.
