O'Sullivan's Irish Pub Escondido

I came by for st Patrick's Day. I'm from Ireland and was happy to be around for the holiday, and everyone in town insisted this was the place to be. I was not impressed though. The place was packed, but if I'm being honest I didn't see why. I'm sure every other day of the year it's a great place to be, but for this specific holiday when it should be bringing it's best, it fell flat. The music and artist was a bit of a strange choice and from what I heard it's a regular show, would have been nice to have something more Irish. The food was a disappointment. I was told by locals to come back another day to try it because it's usually better, but it should be at it's top this day of all days. The sheps pie was awful, extremely salty, mostly gravy, some ground beef and I'm pretty sure frozen peas and carrots, and one tiny spoonful of instant potatoes splat right in the center. I've never. Also paid near 25$ for a plate of corned beef and cabbage and it was another miss, unseasoned tiny bit of corned beef, and a side of cabbage and potatoes and carrots all unflavored unseasoned. Side of butter helped but even with the salt and pepper at the table it just felt stale and bland. We ended up leaving early and finding a great show elsewhere that felt more comfortable and much more holiday centered. I honestly felt like this place was better suited for any other day, but for the holiday I felt like it wasn't worth it. I look forward to returning again and trying it when it's not a holiday though and giving everything a second chance, the staff was friendly and hard working and from what I could tell, the place seemed pleasant to sit and grab a bite and brew.

Buena música en vivo y excelente servicio

Great place to go with my gf. We had some drinks and shared some food. Some musicians came and played live music, that atmosphere was great and the food was awesome. Can't wait to come back!

Great service
