O'neills Irish Pub - San Mateo

We have been there while Quiz Night and it was quite crouded. The Service was excelent, as we never run out of beer. Together with the Quiz night it was an excelent experience. I can suggest everyone around San Mateo to visit that place and Take a Beer and attend the quiznight.

I've been here a couple of times to spin a set and another time to check out my homie DJ Garcia Grande on the 1's and 2's. One of my friends from out of town likes this spot too!! The bar staff and the security are real cool peoples. They make sure you're well taken care of and help in any way they can. The customers come looking to party and have a good time! The vibe has been cool when I would visit. It's not often I come here but when I do it's always been lit!

Fairly cheap drinks considering the area, but terrible mixology experience. I ordered an old fashioned with well whiskey and the bartender refused to make my request. The bartender Gabby said she 's not going to go out of her way to make an old fashioned with cheap whiskey and let me and the other bar patrons know that what I just did was a faux pas (Gabby literally said this to everyone at the bar). So I said ok, let 's do bourbon then . Long story short(er), the drink was pure sugar and I couldn 't taste the nicer bourbon at all (so I might as well have gone with the well whiskey). I ordered another and asked for her to make it less sweet. She poured the drink in the same glass on top of the partially melted ice cube and orange rind and gave me a cheap cherry this time instead of the nice maraschino cherry. I asked if she used the same glass for the 2nd drink and she said is that a problem? Will not be going here again.

I ordered an Irish car bomb and the bartender said it was a deal breaker if I wanted to drop it in the glasses. So no bomb, he apologized but you know, it still was weird to have to deny that. The best part was the roaches!! I saw 4 crawling on the bar, I wasn’t quick enough to take a picture but there where all over the top of the bar and god know where else. This is a huge skip. I drank my Irish car “bomb” and left. Hopefully the new owner can turn this place around because I was grossed out with the roaches and probably should’ve have had to pay for my drink.. but whatever

Great eating great atmosphere. many 49 fans and especially a few nice girls there. I love this place.
