"Great for after work happy hour"
Ryan
October 2011 — "Large establishment with both pub style sport seating with many TVs and also another section for a more quiet dining experience.
The service was the best part on the day we dined. She was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menus. As well, the drinks and food both were very quick in returning to the table.
The food was decent for a neighborhood pub, no amazing but good.
I would recommend this establishment for a after work get together, as the drink specials were good and the food was inexpensive, and many sports were playing."

"Won't be back! "
Lindsay
February 2011 — "After a movie at Chinook Mall, my boyfriend and I decided to grab a beer and a bite to eat at O'Sullivans, as it is conveniently located right off of the mall. I had been there before, but not in years. I can definitely say I will not go back. The service was quite poor as our waitress was often sitting at the bar or playing a game of pool with customers. The place smelled really badly of cigarettes, and I assume that so many have been smoked in there that they will never be able to get rid of the smell! The food was actually pretty good and priced pretty average for what you get. I would expect lower prices though considering the low quality environment. The women's washrooms were filthy and the beer was warm. If you do go, I recommend the Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. It was delicious! O'Sullivans is pretty rough around the edges, but if that's your thing, you might love it! "

"Sketchy place! "
Jordan
February 2011 — "O'Sullivans is located in the strip mall directly North of Chinook Mall. They have good food, but the crowd is pretty sketchy and I don't think I would ever go there with my girlfriend again. It's the kind of place that is easy to find trouble. On a Tuesday, they have $6.99 schooner jugs of Canadian, which is a good deal, but the beer wasn't very cold. For food, I ordered the clubhouse, because on the menu they claim it can't be beat! Being that I am a bit of a clubhouse connoisseur, I have to say, they were right! It was piled so high I could hardly bite into it! The fries on the side were crisp and golden. The whole meal was great! At $12, I would say it was a pretty fair price. However, the bathrooms were dirty and the whole place is pretty run down. Our server was more interested in flirting with the guys at the bar than serving us. You can definitely find good food at a good price in places with a much better atmosphere. "

"Great Specials!"
Rhonda
May 2010 — "Recently visited O’Sullivan’s located in Calgary on McLeod Trail not far from Glenmore Trail and Chinook shopping centre. It is a pub/bar type atmosphere with decent food. The pub itself is quite large and as we were there for happy hour and an early supper was not overly crowded. They do seem to have some good specials and we tried the Fish and Chips which was cod and was on special for $9.99. The fish was crispy as were the fries and the portion size was plenty. They also had drink specials at $3.99 bottles of Canadian and $4.99 glasses of wine which was a respectable Robert Mondavi Sauvingnon Blanc for the white and I believe the same name brand for the red. They also have specials for different nights and I remember seeing a cheap wing night on Monday. They have pool and VLT and I believe Karaoke on certain nights."

"Loved the Grilled Rib Eye"
Ben
May 2008 — "
I was recently on a business trip to Calgary when I stumpled upon O'sullivans Restaurant and Bar. What a great find! Me and business associates had a great time with awesome service and food! I generally travel to Calgary 2-3 times per year and I guarantee I will make it a routine stop to have dinner and after hour drinks at O'sullivans!

"Casual Restaurant"Sherri
May 2008 — "We went on a Tuesday night with a group of 12. The service was great the waitress knew her menu and her bar menu. She even recommended a frozen drink for us to try ( It was delicious). The meals came out fast and hot. It is a great pub atmosphere. A great place to go and become a regular because all the staff and customers were very friendly."

" reminds me of the bars back home."Craig
May 2008 — "What a comfortable pub – reminds me of the bars back home.
Great dinks, better food that I expect from a “pub” and great servers. This will be my new hangout when I am in town. Just like Cheers only no one yelled “Norm!” when I walked in the door.

"OSullivans Restaurant & Bar Calgary"Amber
March 2008 — "Made reservations for a birthday party weekend of the 15th, asked for 20 only could get 12.
when we got there, no reservation, no table nothing.
later after over 20 people showed up, we got little to NOOO service.
80% of us had to order and pay for our drinks at the bar.
we asked for our bills to be split, which they werent other the two people who came late.
Drinks were added to the birthday girls tab who for sure didnt drink them on accoutn she is illergic to bananas, but the banana cocktail was there 3 times.
she didnt fuss just paid with way tot generous tip
only to find on the receipt later on that it had been totalled, taxed, and just a had a written charge at the bottom which was never mentioned.
if this was a gratuity, why not mention it, or at least serve us to earn the gratuity.
The only thing good was the company we brought and the average food.
our of 27 people there that night.
NOT ONE will return

"Great Saturday Special !"S
August 2007 — "My husband and I just stopped in Saturday night for supper and ordered their Saturday Steak and Alaskan Crab Leg Special for $19.99. The food was excellent !
The Crab legs and the steak came hot along with garlic mashed potatoes and freshly
grilled veggies. This meal comes along with homemade bowl of beef barley soup or an order of ceaesar salad. Excellent soup. The waitress gave us great service and had great personality. After finishing our huge meal, I had barely enough room for the dessert also included - a huge slice of warm brownie with whip cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream ! This slice was the size of a regular dessert you would order separately from most menus. Not some little 2 inch free dessert thing...
All in all, we had a great supper out and I would not hesitate to come back to this resataurant again. Great food and great service. Thank you O'Sullivans !"

"Average at Best"Mike
February 2006 — "This is a bar and restaurant with not a heck of a lot going for it. The draft beer and food are average at best, and the place is probably best described as a local watering hole for nearby residents."
