I do not work at O’boobigan’s, I never will no matter what, I mean what’s wrong with making a blog about a new local joint that you are stoked about? Absolutely nothing. But I am willing to admit that my blog is in the top 5 G search for “O’boobigan’s”, all from just writing what I like and dislike about the place and personally I would like to see the place grow and expand.
Before I heard about O’boobigan’s I was a huge Tilted Kilt fan, before that I was a Wing House fan, and before that guess what bar I was the biggest fan of? Hooters. I guess I am always going for the underdog right? Why is that, maybe because the underdog always provides a better place with adjustments that the big names don’t have. Sure O’boobigan’s is small compared to a Wing House or Hooters, but my first time I went to the place I had a blast. It was more than sitting at a Wing House with my buddies getting a thrill out of the how waitress’s flirting with me, making think I was going to take them home or something. It was just the same old shit at Hooters and Wing House every visit.
Luckily I grew up and found a girl that I could be with my whole life, she’s pregnant with our daughter and I don’t think the same nasty thoughts I used to when I would visit a joint like this. But something about O’boobigan’s got me hooked the first visit. And I was there with my best friend whom is in the same situation that I am, pregnant girlfriend and all. We had a freaking blast, the inside bar is great and there may be only one pool table and a couple games, but still the “irish” type atmosphere is awesome. My only complaint about O’boobigan’s is the music selection, I think they should play a bit more Irish music there on the busy nights. I know they have live bands on the weekends sometimes, but even between the sets a good playlist of a couple hundred Irish drunken songs would fit the mood of the “Irish Bar & Grill” theme.
What the hell, I really need to get on topic here. Let me start talking about the title of this post, “My 4th visit at O’boobigan’s”. My future baby mama and I wanted to go out somewhere to eat, and of course I told her that I wanted to go to O’boobigan’s. So we did, even though she knew she couldn’t drink she was still down to go, hell, I had brought her the past two times and have even brought my mom there. So yeah, I kind of like the place you might say. So again on my 4th visit to O’boobigan’s it was just my girlfriend and I, we were expecting my best friend and his baby mama but they didn’t quite make it out there for disclosed reasons. We had seated ourselves inside because that’s the type of place it is at the moment, and we had to wait about 5 minutes until we had a drink served. To me that’s no big deal, but it was the manager of the place that came up and asked us for our first drink. Which I think is great, I had talked to him a bit online and he didn’t know it was the guy dominating the search engines for O’boobigan’s. He was very cool, got our drinks right away and the server was there to take our order very shortly after.
I had ordered the chicken wings as hot as they come, they were not super hot though at all but I believe in the future they will “spice” up the wings a little for us select few that can handle the heat. My girl ordered some waffle fire things, the shit was huge and she only ate half and got full, pretty good deal for about 5 bucks on the menu. We had made it there before happy hour ended so the wings were 35 cents apiece and my drinks were half off. And believe me when you drink about8 Bacardi n cokes in a one hour sit down happy hour is your best friend at the bar. I was disappointed that my buddy and his baby mama didn’t show up so I was about ready to leave. Right before we left got the managers attention and told him who I was and that I was the psycho writing a blog about this place. He was nice offered to grab me a pitcher on him but I had to refuse because the old lady had to get home and she hates driving in the rain.
The manager did tell me though that O’boobigan’s is transferring to a new owner July 31st, and there will be a newer location or two of the Irish Bar & Grill O’boobigan’s. So it looks like O’boobigan’s will be a growing franchise, starting off in Pinellas County, just like Hooters, just like Wing House, just like Tilted Kilt. I believe in time O’boobigan’s will be up on the same scale of Hooters and Wing House, call me crazy but the best Wing places have started in Pinellas County, better known as the Tampa Bay area. So if this poor sorry drunk that’s been to every bar in Pinellas County recommends this joint, you should at least give it a try on the weekend. Come on down and enjoy yourself at O’boobigan’s, ask around for D.wep, if I am there I will let you buy me a drink or two, jeah.
