I have to admit, being a farmer's daughter from Louisiana, I can be a bit of a sweet potato snob because well I am used to homegrown. Y'all this place came closer than any other place to matching my momma's sweet potatoes! They just melted in our mouths - we ordered a 2nd order they were so good! The rest of our food was also great!

French onion soup used to be highly reviewed here. Went recently and the soup was clear/white and did not have any caramelised onions in it. Also tasted like nothing, just cheese in mildly onion-soaked water. One of the worst french onion soups I’ve ever had. They took it off our bill after I told our server about it though. More

No better place to go immediately after visiting the WTC area and Museum than O'Hara's! It was a rumor, I believed it, tested it and it was, in fact, true! You feel like you are almost walking into a time capsule the moment you see the door and I won't spoil the surprise by telling you what happens AFTER you open the door.
It is a beautiful spot with so much personality, friendly service and the biggest burger I have ever seen. I couldn't even finish HALF. I think there was an entire pack of pack on it. ;) It was SO good.
Not to mention, really reasonably priced, especially considering it would have fed me three times. I was able to swap out reg fries for sweet potato fries (always a win). The photos of the HAND-WRITTEN menu will tell you everything about the vibe of this unique place..... And the prices are on them. Those portions are HUGE, people! Enjoy!
Will definitely be back!

Very nice Irish Pub style place. Near 9/11 memorial with police and fire patches covering the walls. Black and Tan was spot on. Food is basic pub fare - fries were well done and came out hot and crispy. Staff was observant and professional on busy Memorial Day weekend Sunday.

Do not visit the 9/11 memorial without stopping by O’Hara’s also! Good food, cold beers, but also an authentic experience with the 9/11 stories, patches etc. Ask for the scrapbook that has pictures, letters and stories. More

My husband and I were just leaving the observatory and found this pub on the map and decided to give it a try. We definitely came across a gem. We find out this pub is a memorabilia for first responders. The history of this pub during 9/11 is just wow. The staff is so friendly, sharing stories with us and even letting us see their scrapbook of 9/11. The atmosphere was just the perfect vibe we were looking for. When we come back to NY, we are definitely stopping at O'Hara's.

Great Irish pub.

We got wings, salad and toasties with fries. Everything was great, the service was very nice and efficient etc.
The cheese on the ham cheese toasty would never be served in an Irish pub, but it brought me back to my childhood, so was authentic in its own way, haha. I didn’t dare try a Guinness, but the other beer was good.

This place has so much personality, it’s a really good option around that area, they have burgers, sandwiches and many other things. I loved it. Service is great and prices are fine too. I’d definitely go back. Beers are good but lemon juice not so much, not natural juice. We ordered the sliders and fries, the shepherds pie for two and the chipotle chicken wrap. They were all very good. Fries are not the best but they are ok.
