Oh Shea’s Pub

Was nervous at first after reading reviews, but all in all really good place! You can definitely tell the locals come here to hang out which is cool. Friendly atmosphere and good spots to hang out. The bar in the middle of the place divides the sit down spot to eat from high top tables to drink on the other side of the restaurant. Everyone in my party got a mix of food. Wings, burgers, a reuben, crab cakes, French onion soup, and even a salad! Everyone enjoyed the food, although my burger was a little salty. Our server Pat was awesome!!! So funny and cool. Overall pretty good place!

My partner & I went on a Saturday afternoon around 1PM which was perfect because there was about four other people at the pub. We just finished running some errands and wanted a new place to try out and this seemed to fit the bill perfectly.
The food was great. I got the Oh! Shea’s burger which has bacon, lettuce, tomatoes, and Jameson infused cheese atop a buttery brioche bun. If you’re making a face at the cheese – I assure you: it was delicious! It tasted nothing like whiskey, it adds a richness and complexity to the cheese that otherwise would not be there. The bacon was not too crispy nor too chewy but just right. My partner got the mac & grilled cheese which was also good. It came with tomato soup that was freshly prepared and had the right amount of basil, and zest to it. Perfect for dipping! We’ll have to try the baked mac & cheese next.
The bar is standard with a few beers on tap. Nothing special but all the standards: Yuengling, Guinness, Blue Moon, etc. The service was impeccable. My partner who is legally blind appreciated greatly the service by our bartender. For example, placing a drink in front of her, and then telling her exactly where it was, same with the food; and only giving us one menu (for me to read to her.)
All-​in-​all it was the perfect lunch out and I can definitely say that we’ll be back!

I really liked this Pub, it had a really chill and relaxed atmosphere. We came here during lunch to watch a Saints game and everyone had a good time. We sat in a cool area with a fireplace and a nice, big, flatscreen TV to watch the game on. John our server was really nice and attentive. We asked him if he could put the Saints game on for us even though we were pretty sure that everyone there didn’t want to watch that game but he nicely put it on the big TV for us. I had the Chicken pita and tasted the Bourbon wings. The Chicken pita was huge and very filling and the wings had just the right amount of sauce so that it wasn’t drowning the wings in it. Nice chill place.

Server gave us a lecture on how being a server is difficult and asked us if anyone of us has ever served… Dude, if you can’t remember our drinks write them down…

A classic Irish pub. Nothing much special. Conversational bartender. They have pub food and yuengling. They don’t open for soccer matches in the am. I don’t know if I’ll rush back, unless for St Patrick’s day.

This place is awesome, good pub food, reasonably priced served by a very friendly staff. Sort of the ultimate Cheers bar.

Me and my boyfriend ate here 6÷14÷15 and we visit quite a few Bar&Grills, and Taverns. But the food here is nothing to brag about, The sevice was good but if your going to serve shrimp at market $ then serve the good shrimp not those processed doughy shrimps. I’ll never go eat here again.

friend/​coworker stopped by after a bourgeoisie event. we just wanted to unwind in a chill and nonpretentious environment. this was a great choice. it was a pretty quiet thursday evening… i can imagine it gets crazier on the weekend and during happy hours… but i was grateful for the lack of patrons this particular night. the bartender was very friendly and everybody in that night were regulars. it’s got a sports bar like vibe to it… i’ll def be stopping by after work for happy hour to check out what it’s like then.

On Saturday a friend and I wanted to watch the NCAA final four. Cavanaugh’s was completely clogged and burning hot, so we left in search of a more empty spot. We saw through the windows that Oh! Shea’s was pretty much dead and had the game on so we popped in. My friend asked casually if we could sit at a table and only order drinks because we planned on eating later, and the guy gave us a look of disgust and reluctantly allowed us to pick our table. They had like 5 beers on draft, but they all ranged from $ 5-​$ 9; then again, I guess this is more of a restaurant (?) We sat right in front of TV, but all the TV screens were muted. Since there wasn’t another person within 20 feet of us, my friend asked if we could turn the sound up a bit. The guy cut him off and just said «no sorry we don’t do that here.»
We got a couple of beers each, finished the game, got the hell out of there, and will never return.

I felt interesting vibe from this place so I thought it is worth to leave review. Stopped by for quick drink. I am a non drinker so I can only review about bar food and ambiance.
We ordered French fries, was unbelievably cheap. Like $ 4 and they give you stack of French fries. OMG. Nothing special about that fries but for that price I was just amazed. It was just regular sports bar, not that crowded but it’s located in center city anyway so I assume it would get busier during wkend or something. And I realized our waitress lady was like 60 or 70? years old beautiful lady. She was attentive and nice. She might be the owner. I am not sure, I am new here but this is something I never saw it in NYC before. I thought it was really cool :-)

This is an awesome pub. Very low-​key and perfect for a getaway from then college bars of the area. Rated ²⁄₅ for the service. The waiter checked on us a total of 1 time in a 45 minute period (this meant we waited so long we couldn’t order food). The waiter also took all my money with the check and never returned my change. I had to ask specifically for my change. I realize this may have been a communication error, but based on the lack of service prior to this I find it hard to believe.

Loved the atmosphere. The pub food is delicious. Most items are under $ 10 and they have happy hour from 5−7p Monday-​Friday so lots of apps and drinks are $ 3 and $ 4. John the bartender is awesome. So friendly. The food was delicious.
This is a very cool and hip place where the locals hang. Very laid back.

I came here last week with my friend. We split a pepperoni pizza at a table which was actually quite good! I ordered a soft drink, I think she enjoyed her wine. The bartender who served us was friendly. I think the service was a little slow and it was a bit noisy but that’s to be expected in a bar. Bottom line is that I would go back and recommend it to others.

This place is great! The food was well seasoned, plentiful, and filled us up. The service was amazing — our server joked with us and took very good care of us. The restaurant was quiet but that was ok with us.
I would highly recommend this restaurant for the drinks, the food, and the service — you will not be disappointed! Whether you are looking for a great meal or some quick drinks, this is a great restaurant!

Your traditional Irish pub. Not memorable, slightly overpriced for normal drinks. Didn’t eat here, so I can’t say anything about the food. Friendly staff though.

We held our group’s holiday party for 10 people here with an open bar and a small buffet and everything went so well.
Great service and good filling food like roast beef, ham and great mac and cheese.
They also served individual garden salads in small torilla bowls — cute and tasty!
Fun and great times always at Oh! Shea’s.

I just had the Cuban Sandwich yesterday and Oh MY god it was just DELICIOUS! I really like Oh Shea’s and i think they deserve 5 stars for their consistency at providing good service! The food is always good and served pretty quickly (compared to a lot of other places I go to play poker, it s a major plus!) See ya Oh shea’s Sundays and wednesdays!

We came into Oh! Shea’s on a lazy Saturday afternoon tooling around Center City after a haircut and were pleasantly surprised. The service was speedy and our waitress was such a sweetheart — she won me over almost immediately.
We enjoyed a Leinenkugel’s summer shandy while chowing down on a sampler platter that included fried green beans AND some kickin’ whiskey cheese sauce that came with chips. You better believe the green beans made their way into the whiskey cheese sauce.
To finish off our meals, we split a French dip sandwich. The food was standard pub fare, but done well. I liked the atmosphere, and could imagine it in the evening with regulars round the bar and beers clinking and people laughing loudly. We’ll be back!

As I’ve said before, with a sister living in Philly, I get to hear about all these great (and in some cases, not-​so-​great) spots to eat and drink. Oh! Shea’s Pub is one of her favorite regular hangouts; its like Cheers for her as a good number of her friends also like to come there and tie one on.
I’ve been to this place a number of times over the last couple of years and its always been a good experience; the bar staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the patrons are all friendly, decent people. The location is prime, and they have outdoor seating which is a bonus, especially when the place is crowded which I’m led to understand it usually is in the evenings.
Barfood is barfood but there are degrees… never had anything that I didn’t like, what else is there to say? The jukebox has a ton of great hits, I’m partial to 80s hairbands when I’m drinking and the jukebox is very obliging for me. All in all, I’m a fan, wish I had one of these in my neighborhood! Naturally, I’ll be back.

Oh Shea’s is great for happy hour!!!
I’ve walked pass this restaurant a couple of times but the external atmosphere never really caught my interest. I ended up walking into this bar one late night after for a quick beer and happened to see the happy hour menu on each table. I was looking for more happy hour places around center city these days and decided to give it a try last friday!
I was surprised by how fresh the cheap happy hour plates were. I think we tried everything on the menu (we had a big group and there were about 7 – 10 appetizer/​small dishes we could choose from) The onion rings, cheese friees, small cheeseburgher, chicken tenders and JALAPENO POPPERS! (there’s a few more) were neither burnt or overly fried where oil was dripping. The jalapen poppers were so good with the perfect amount of cheese! They are typical fried food but cooked very fresh and each dish comes w/​2 – 3 different sauces you get to dip in.
Oh, the $ 4 margarita was great too! Not too sweet, not too sour, tasted enough of the alocohol and therefore strong enough in a good way. All my friends loved the margarita!
I will definitely come back again for happy hour!
