That’s exactly what we’re all about at O’carrolls! 🇮🇪

🎶 Live music
🍻 Good drinks

🍀 Celebrating James 🍀

Every great bar has someone behind the scenes who keeps everything moving — and for us, that’s James 🍻

From the moment we open until the very last order of the night, James somehow manages to keep his cool, keep things running and always have a smile on his face — even when it’s absolutely non-stop!

A true lover of live music, James goes above and beyond to look after every artist who walks through our doors, making sure they feel welcome, supported and part of the O’Carroll’s family. 🎶

He’s always coming up with new ideas, always getting stuck in, and always ready to help make the next night even better.

James, we couldn’t do it without you - the man who somehow makes the chaos look easy! 🍻🎶☘️
