O'flaherty's

Best casual place in Downtown San Jose to have a pint or hang out. They also have good food which was a surprise to me at first. Now I often order the mushroom curry and a stout pint. My wife loves the selection of sour beers. I think they have something like 50 or 60 beers on tap! They also have karaoke night and a trivia night! Servers and bartenders are great!This is out regular spot!

Whether you're looking for a night out or just a relaxing afternoon, this pub is the perfect destination for a good time. The staff is friendly and the drinks are always flowing.

I’m torn between a 4 and a 5. On the one hand they have good beer and cocktails. Irish mule was delicious, very strong on the ginger flavor. The North Coast Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout was out of this freaking world, one of my favorite beers ever. Also, they had live irish music! Super cool. On the other hand I was somewhat unimpressed with the food. Their menu online is much smaller than pictures of the menu people have posted, but they don’t hand out menus, you only scan the QR codes on the tables which take you to their website. Their website doesn’t list any irish foods like the shepherds pie or the reuben sandwich. In fact their food menu is identical to the food menu of some other bars close by, so maybe they’ve cut the menu so they can share a kitchen. I had one bite of the brisket tacos and I personally found them to be rubbery and gross. Mac and cheese was pretty good- it was very stringy and cheesy but not creamy so keep that in mind if you prefer a creamier mac. I definitely scraped the bowl clean. In conclusion I will still be definitely coming back here for drinks (seriously, get an irish mule!) and maybe I’ll try some fish & chips next time but I’m disheartened that their menu is so small now.
