O'Connell's Pub is your quintessential Irish bar — while at the same time, is unlike any other. The legendary south city spot is familiar, quirky and after five months shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic, back open and here to stay.

 

We'll tell you about the unexpected roots and unplanned paths that have kept O’Connell's on the map, how two generations of Parkers have now fallen in to running the place and why as he carries on the family tradition, John Parker is OK making a few enemies.

 

Plus, we're BACK in the booth to catch you up on food news, help you plan your weekend and make you whale-y jealous of where Dori's been.
