Live music, every Friday, for over twenty years. We've had the pleasure of hosting hundreds (thousands?) of bands since our inception in 2001. A pub tradition we intend to continue for years (decades?) to come. Oh and the best part? We've never charged cover... Ever -- Which you could say is also another pub tradition. 

Interested in playing at the pub? Share your info with us here. Our stage is your stage.

May 2025 was one for the books. Thanks again to all of the artists, performers and patrons for coming out! We’ve been busy both slinging drinks and also behind the scenes. Some of the gang even ran a marathon — which actually might have been easier than keeping up on some of the busy nights we’ve been having. We might even just have to reopen that upstairs bar sometime this month… 👀 Tons of great music, dance parties, acoustic acts and karaoke nights to be had in June. Check out what’s happening at the pub this month and hopefully we see you for a pint!
Friday May 30th • “O’Hanlon’s it is, I guess!” With another performance from the one and only Ella Forrest & The Great Pines this Friday — absolutely O’Hanlon’s it is we guess. We also guess that there is no cover charge and are definitely guessing at what time the show will start (likely around 10:30pm or so). Summer is here, come have a pint and listen to some amazing local talent… we guess. @_ellaforrest
Friday May 23rd • Arts Fest weekend — you best be getting out and enjoying some live music! So many great bands and things going on. If you find yourself downtown, come check us out for a late show featuring RAGE ON PARADE — an undoubtedly badass Rage Against The Machine cover band, hitting our stage for the first time. Also yes, we still have Guinness amongst the shortage. Come on by!
Tuesday May 20th • Our bi-weekly acoustic series continues tonight with the likes of Ella Reichert, Zoë James and Elle Grace + an open mic to follow. Specials include: $7 Pints of Harp 1/2 Price Wings $6 Jameson
May 16th • Continuing on with an incredibly stacked month of music, we have the privilege of presenting the talents of Tracy Waters and Laska to you this Friday. The cost of admission is simply just you liking this post and telling all of your friends, incase they don’t already know. 10PM.

CRAWL-A-PALOOZA! Special Saturday night show featuring the one and only Andino Suns along with Mr. Moya & La Chusma starting at 9PM. We then have DJ Tolley T holding down the after party when the show wraps up. Best of both worlds! No cover.
We are truly lucky to have a continuous line up of incredibly talented entertainment performing at the pub each week. Thank you all, for your continued support as well as the amazing musicians and artists who choose to perform at O’Hanlon’s, when there is so many other great venues around the city to play at. We also want to give a big shout out to Chris Dimas for constantly going above and beyond with booking and organizing the shows at the pub. The pub is what it is, because of all of you. That being said, May is looking as what Riley would describe as, “electric.” Can’t wait to pour you a pint and see you at a show or two!

Thankful for a crazy March and everything that came along with it! Some epic dance parties, more unplugged nights, Paddy’s Day weekend and a nice little card from the “other O’Hanlon’s” in NYC. Paddy’s Day may not be in April, but there is more of the same to look forward to, including… a Second Hand Social, two doses of Charly Hustle, loads of talented acts, the launch of a new cocktail menu and even a special Thursday night show near the end of the month! We’ll be here, come have a pint!
