PJ O’Briens is a good ol’ Irish pub in Melbourne. We pop in every now and then when we feel like a proper pub vibe and we’re never disappointed. Everyone is friendly, the drinks are cold and there are good pub meals on offer.
Sensational pub food, great service, great ambience, usually have the beef and Guinness pie, am going to try the bangers and mash next time, sensational menu keeps pussycat and myself coming back.
An awesome place for not only drinks but food. We have been there many times and have never been disappointed ! Great atmosphere and the staff are lovely. Big pub meals for a good price as well ! Last time we went I had the curry from the bar menu and it was very good, sided with chips it was a perfect blend. Would highly recommend

Lovely pub in the Southgate shopping centre, we originally just came for drinks but decided to stay for dinner as the food looked great and the staff were so lovely!
Everyone was really happy with their food, portions were generous, well cooked and reasonably priced.
If you enjoy great atmosphere & food, I highly recommend PJ O'Brien's. I've been many times for lunch, the cheesy chips with bacon is an absolute must do. Sunday roast is good. Friendly staff, highly recommend for locals and visitors alike, definitely a must do...

Ordered a guiness and beef pie. Mouthwatering and delicious down to the last crumb! Portion is huge as well, could easily share between 2 people (and I'm a big eater). Comfortable seating spaces and nice live music in the background. Would come back.

A solid pub dishing up hearty meals and excellent Irish beers. The accurately authentic interior (according to my dad) of the pub is dimly light yet very cosy, with a few tables hidden in nooks and crannies around the place if you want some privacy. The service was incredibly down to earth and attentive.
My partner and I couldn't pass up ordering the traditional Irish fares, and I hit the jackpot with the Beef and Guinness Pie. The beef was so tender and moist, and absolutely flavourful. To top it all of, the pie pastry was light and flaky. His order of the Irish Pork Sausages was good, but definitely not as tasty as mine.
The sourdough bread were bizarrely inconsistent in texture as while two slices were super soft, two other slices were a bit tough and chewy.
My dad ordered the porterhouse steak that came with a pot of beer for $20. That was good value for money, and the steak was cooked beautifully. Chips could be crunchier though.
A very filling and satisfying meal.
Was here for a friend’s birthday do. Great ambience, dim lightings and cozy setting. Food was reasonable priced. Heggies botrytis reisling would be my favourite. Would definitely come back.
The service provided by Oeifa (manager) was excellent when I went down on the 13th! She was so helpful, and even the staff that was serving my table was very attentive. We had a pint of Kilkenny on tap- which was really smooth, and half a dozen of oysters- which were quite good but not worth the 20$. Had the bacon steak and seafood chowder as our mains. The dessert of the day, a bread pudding was actually the highlight of my meal! It was soooo delicious. The staff and service is, in my opinion, the best asset of the place :)
