What People Are Saying About O'Gara's

The Editor

Citysearch

In Short – What was once a humble family-owned pub in 1941 is now a six-roomed family-owned bar, restaurant and nightclub. The crowd is mainly frat boys in baseball caps, fans of roots rock and blues, and folks from St. Paul's Mac-Groveland and Merriam Park neighborhoods. In the Shamrock Room, big bands and small jazz combos play on weeknights and a pianist leads sing-alongs on weekends. In back, the big Garage features alternative rock, Americana, reggae, blues and funk.

I hate this place

by Ihateogaras at Citysearch

This bar is horrible. I have been there many times over the last couple of years, and each time I am probably more disappointed than the next. First off, the service is the worst of anywhere I've ever experienced. Secondly, the drink prices are outrageous for such small glasses. Thirdly, the Garage entertains the worst music I've ever heard. Don't ever come here. Oh, and last time I was there my friend and I saw a rodent run across the floor.

  • Pros: Good food
  • Cons: Service, drinks, atmosphere

Great Service great atmosphere.

by contreeso at Citysearch

Was in on a thursday to grab a couple drinks before going to dinner and we were pleasantly suprised with the service. We sat at the bar and was taken care of by our bartender Justin. We were having such a good time that we decided to have dinner at O'Garas instead of leaving for dinner.

Its a great local bar with lots of history (which is displayed on the walls). People are nice and the atmosphere is perfect. Everything you would want in your favorite bar. We dont live in the area, but we will stop in anytime we are!
