The editorial take
O'bricks Irish Pub & Martini Bar pairs a pub's approachability with a serious wine list and a dedicated martini bar. The wine program is the centerpiece, with extensive global selections and a weekly half-off bottle night. Spirits like single malts and cognacs are well-priced, while local drafts and non-alcoholic options round out the bar.
- What should I order?
- Start with a bottle of Prisoner red blend on Wine Down Wednesday, when bottles are 50% off. For a crisp pour, the Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a solid choice. If you prefer beer, the Calusa Zota IPA is a local draft worth trying.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the extensive list and the Wednesday bottle discount. Martini lovers can find their fix on Martini Monday, while beer drinkers have several local craft options. The non-alcoholic beer selection also accommodates designated drivers.
- When should I go?
- Wine Down Wednesday offers half-price bottles, making it the best value for wine drinkers. Martini Monday highlights the cocktail program. Happy hour, with $10 martinis and $1 off drafts, is a good time to sample the bar's range.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Draft beers run $6-$7, with $1 off during happy hour. House wines by the glass start around $10, and bottles range from $36 for La Marca Prosecco to $75 for Belle Glos Pinot Noir. Single malt pours are $10-$16, and cognacs $10-$30.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- The dual identity as an Irish pub and martini bar is unusual, and the beverage program leans into both: a dedicated martini list and a substantial wine list with global reach. The Captain Morgan special at $4 all day is a notable value.
