User Reviews of Odwyers Irish Sports Pub

Friday Nights are great

Not sure about all of the others on here or the comments about "canned" music. I would rather have a DJ playing hits than some lousy band shredding a good song. The DJ at O'Dwyers (Brian Pate) has really added...

Nothing To See Here...Keep Moving

Not sure what the last review was referring to when they mentioned great live music... The new owners have stopped bringing in bands and have settled on DJ's and open mic nights. So....if you want to hear...

Definitely best spot in Wake Forest...

Having suffered through the nuances of the previous owner, I was excited to hear about the change in ownership! Almost immediately the kitchen staff was replaced and the quality of the food reflects it....

I see many improvements with the new ownership

I personally think that the new owners have made a difference. Putting ventilation in the bar was a great improvement!!!!! Adding Brian Pate as the DJ on Friday nights another great move! Putting exxit doors...

Worst Bar in Wake Forest

Beer selection is marginal. Food is hideous. I'm from upstate NY and I'd be embarrassed to eat this mess, much less serve it. Cheese on Spiedies?? Worst Rueben I've ever had and every chicken dish I've ever...

New Management but awful changes!

Okay use to love this place and was a very frequent customer ( weekly if not bi-weekly). The last time I was in there there were kids in the place. I heard they want the place to be more family friendly but be...

New owners, great wings!!!

My girlfriend and I just went out to O'Dwyer's after learning that the old owner had recently sold the bar. I noticed a great improvement in service and we had a real fun time. Nice to have a local place to go...

I have another place to go...

It's called (familiar to most) Tir Na Nog--218 S. Blount, downtown Raleigh. Because.....O'Dwyer's is one of the hugest disappointments since I've lived here (5 years). I went when they first opened and...

Yelp.com Review - by Amanda S.

3.0 of 5 stars. A typical local pub with better than average ambiance because it's a little newer than some others. Affordable beer, decent service and ok food. We loved the mozzarella sticks, they are huuuge....

Under new management

I frequent O'Dwyers on a regular and up until around November of last year, I had to agree with all the reviews written, The male bartender was RUDE at best and the owner is a little grumpy. However, they must...

Poor Excuse for an Irish Pub

I would not recommend going to O'Dwyers Irish Sports Pub, lets look at that word "Irish" Is O'Dwyers an Irish sports pub? In my opinion NO a big HELL NO, this place doesn't even serve Shepherd's pie an a...

I usually love this place.

I go here at least weekly, more often twice a week. I usually love this place. The food is fantastic. Usually the service is a little slow but the food and attitude makes up for it. Tonight was the worst!! We...

Gets worse everytime I go there

I have been going to this place for months and it gets worse every time I am there. I am done with it. If you are interested in a restaurant where you can go hungry, or a bar where you can go thirsty then this...

Smokey air/great food

I loved the food but was miserable due to the poor ventilation system. There is no such thing as a non-smoking area in this restaurant. They should get a better system so non-smokers don't have to suffer as...

RUDE AND NASTY OWNER

I will drive further for a REAL pub. This place will not be getting any business from my family and friends. My kid was having an 'emergency' and need to use a bathroom. The staff refused to let my daughter...

New management, old problems

O'Dwyers is a contradiction. It has a good location, in fact a fantastic location, in the Heritage area of Wake Forest where there are no other casual sports bars. It has a good layout, a nice size, lots of...

Maybe for a beer, definitely not for the FOOD!

You will find this establishment to be disappointing at best. They have all the good bones to work with, great space, lots of tv's and a good bar area. Unfortunately what lacks is what will keep the customers...
