O'Shaughnessy's Sports bar & Pub
About This Spot
Stepping into O’Shaughnessy’s Sports Bar & Pub, you’re welcomed by a relaxed rhythm that feels both familiar and inviting. Nestled on King Street in Alexandria, this spot gently balances the energy of a lively neighborhood hub with the comfort of a space that encourages lingering conversations and easy evenings. The air is clean and the vibe unhurried—a modern nod to the classic pub scene, but without the haze of smoke and noise that often accompanies it.
Here, the atmosphere shifts effortlessly from day to night. During the afternoon or early evening, you might find a quiet corner to enjoy a well-crafted Long Island Iced Tea or catch up over a cold Italian sub. As the night deepens, the space comes alive with live music resonating from the lower level, while laughter rises from the pool tables upstairs. It’s a place where trivia and friendly competition around the cue stick naturally draw people together without feeling rushed or crowded.
What sets O’Shaughnessy’s apart is the thoughtful attention to its community—whether it’s the steady flow of approachable staff who remember your name and your favorite drink, or the inclusive environment that welcomes regulars and newcomers alike. The pub’s layout offers plenty of room to spread out, talk, and simply unwind. It has the warmth of a longtime local favorite but with enough freshness to feel open and accessible to anyone passing through.
In essence, visiting O’Shaughnessy’s is less about a single moment and more about the easy gathering of moments—the kind of place where you might start the night with a Grilled Chicken Sub and end it leaning over a game of pool, buoyed by live tunes and familiar faces. It’s a genuine slice of Alexandria’s spirited social life, crafted for those who appreciate a clean, chill environment where connection comes naturally.

One of the best low-key bars in Alexandria! O’Shaughnessy’s has that old-school pub vibe without the smoke — which makes a huge difference. It’s rare to find a dive bar that’s this clean and chill. Great drinks, friendly staff, and live music downstairs almost every night. Plus, there’s pool, trivia, and plenty of space to hang. If you’re looking for a relaxed, smoke-free bar with great energy, this is the spot.

Came in here on a Friday night, pool tables upstairs were open ($10/hr) and not too crowded, it was super easy to get a drink, lots of different specials on offer! Me and my buddies did the (Tullamore) Dew and Brew a couple times and played some pool, there was a live band downstairs (no cover) and the bathrooms were clean. Would absolutely recommend.

I have come to this place for a while, and this place has become my five-star dive spot. Definitely come and see Sam; she makes everything lots more fun.

Great place, great vibe, great people. I looked into potentially hosting a private event at O'Shaughnessy's, and although I ended up going in a different direction for logistical reasons, I was SO impressed by the kindness and consideration shown by Jimmy and Sam, and by the all-around friendly, chill environment of the space. I'll definitely be wanting to hang out here in the future!

This is my third time visiting O’Shaugnessy’s and every time I’ve come in, it’s been an absolute vibe. I’ve been here on a Saturday night when the bartenders are hustling and they absolutely kill it and tonight I came on Monday when it was bit slower and that’s when they really show their charm. Cierra especially was taking time to converse with the myself and the other patrons. That’s how you bring people back! If you want a great atmosphere, this is the place to be.

Stopped in because it was too cold to keep going but found a gem. The staff was amazing and the selection awesome. I really like that they had so many football games on, they had the pool tables and dart board. The second time I stopped in they had karaoke. Definitely recommend stopping by if you want a good beer and great service.
