It's an Irish themed bar

Chicken strips that appear to be hand dipped and fried. Easily the best chicken strips I have ever had. Buffalo sauce was delicious. Can't wait to do it again.

O'Malley's in the Alley is a really fun pub in downtown Cincinnati. A local friend of mine took me there last Thursday afternoon and we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. He had a quesadilla and I had the fish and chips, which was recommended by the bartender. The fish was heavily battered - which I loved, and both fillets were large and tasty. In particular, their tartar sauce was really good. The bar was quiet (as it probably should be for a mid-afternoon), but I bet it revs up on game nights, etc.

Pricy beer and they kicked me out for not having a shirt on under my cloak 😆 despite having a kilt on [and this being an Irish pub sheesh] but I get it. Bartender was great, atmosphere is cool but I probably won't be back. Plenty of other IRISH PUBS that will let an Irish man swagger in 🍻 don't let my experience deter you from stopping by. They were kind enough to let me finish my drink out front 😅 [spent 10$ one beer, after tip]
