O’Reilly’s Pub

On Haight Street, O’Reilly’s offers a neighbourhood counterpoint to the downtown pubs: a visit can start with a pint before a walk past Haight-Ashbury’s Victorian homes, shops and restaurants, or turn into an evening of music and comedy. The official site presents it as an Irish pub and entertainment venue, with Guinness, cocktails, a fireplace and patio. Unlike the two downtown choices in this guide, its programme of events is as central as the drinks.

Recent comments highlight the welcoming feel, live music, comedy and trivia nights, and the bartenders’ service. The website posts a food menu as well as drinks and advertises weekday happy hour. Some reviews describe events that draw a crowd; checking the calendar helps you choose between a quieter stop and a show night. The experience may feel more like a music bar than a formal dinner venue, a useful distinction when planning.

The address is 1840 Haight Street, San Francisco, CA 94117; phone (415) 320-6095. The website lists hours until 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and links Facebook and Instagram through its official channels. The pub fits naturally into a walk through Haight-Ashbury and the Panhandle; its official calendar helps visitors distinguish a food-and-drink stop from nights centred on music, comedy or trivia.
