Happy 15 Years O’briens
Since we opened in 2k6 it has been no secret whatsoever O’briens was an inspiration for us to do what we do and although we’r not even close to the same type of pub O’briens it’s inspiration is evident each week in our lineup. ! Tom says”San Diego’s original beer bar was openend in January, 1994 by Jim O’Brien and served as the first account for many of San Diego’s local breweries. It was already my favorite place to drink beer by 1997, and in 2003, I liked it so much I bought the place when Jim said he was bowing out. Now Lindsey and I have owned for 6 fun filled years and we are looking forward to another great year. It is not just the beer that makes O’Brien’s special. It is a community of pub patrons who no matter how different they are all share a common love of good beer and good cheer when at the pub. It is the people that make the place truly special and that makes working there very rewarding for all of us. There is no other place quite like O’Brien’s in town – and we promise to keep it that way.”
We’re proud to be mentioned at times with wonderful places like O’briens and encourage everyone to go there and see one of the few reason Hamilton’s Exists. Cheers to Tom, Lindsey and the O’briens Faithful!
