O'Brian's Tavern
About This Spot
O'Brian's Tavern greets you with the unmistakable comfort of a well-loved neighborhood gathering spot, where the hum of lively conversation blends with the clatter of pool balls and the occasional cheer from the dartboard. Nestled on Tully Road in Modesto, this modestly sized bar exudes a relaxed, unpretentious vibe that invites locals to unwind, whether for a quick after-work drink or a casual evening out with friends.
Inside, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming—clean lines and bright TVs offer a familiar backdrop for those seeking both company and a place to root for their favorite sports teams. The steady rhythm of upbeat tunes or live bands adds an energetic pulse without overwhelming the space, making it easy to linger and soak in the moment. Friendly faces abound behind the bar, where attentive service flows as naturally as the drinks themselves.
The menu complements the easygoing mood, featuring classic crowd-pleasers like cold beers and the satisfying kick of a well-made Bloody Mary or whiskey shot. These offerings fuel both the lively midweek karaoke sessions and weekend gatherings, adding fuel to the stories shared over pool and darts. For many, O’Brian’s is more than just a bar—it’s a corner of community where familiar routines find a place to flourish, and even four-legged patrons receive a little extra attention.
Whether you’re stopping in for a quick game or settling in for an evening of music and conversation, O'Brian's Tavern feels like a natural extension of the neighborhood itself—comfortable, vibrant, and decidedly local.

Nice bar friendly crowd, good music, my dog gets more attention than I do, but I'm OK with that actually quite used to it.

Nice bar. There are 2 pool tables and dart games. The drinks were good. It was a bit noisy there cause of a band playing music, which was good. The service was good even though it was busy. There were 3 bartenders so they were staffed correctly for the business. I do not believe they have any food but not positive. This bar is on the smaller size.

Tina is the best bartender they have!! Works the day shift and is always pleasant and quick. Nice clean bar and bathroom’s, lots of T.V.’s to watch games, pool tables and more. Looking for a place to stop- this is it!

Love this place.... Very close to our home, so It's stumble distance (we can walk there). Wife and I have tried it during daytime/early afternoon hours, so it's hard to get a good vibe. It's extremely clean and comfortable. Not much of a crowd, though they say it's the time of year. Overall service 10/10 !

Nice neighborhood bar! A little small but a good place to grab a cold adult drink. Always busy.
