Walk the floor

  1. 01 · Street

    Green neon on the street — “O'BRIEN'S” with shamrocks and a red 74A3 sign.

  2. 02 · The bar

    The route in: green neon on the street, then a dark bar counter with brass-and-black taps and a glowing back bar. Behind it, the pool room — brick, framed pictures, steel pendant lamps over green felt, the only bright light in the house aimed at play.

  3. 03 · The main room

    Steel pendants, patterned chairs, framed pictures on brick — the pool room is the second room that makes the pub. Rack them up, take your shot, stay for the next frame.

  4. 04 · The pool room

    The main room runs on fixtures: round tables under shamrock garlands, a big sports screen, a live-music corner. Friday bands play to seated tables from 8:30 PM.
