O'Connell's Irish Pub & Grille

O’Connell’s Irish Pub & Grille stands as one of Norman’s most enduring landmarks, having served as a beloved gathering spot for University of Oklahoma students, alumni, and locals since 1968. Owner Jeff Stewart, who took over the pub in 1979, has cultivated a welcoming, laid-back atmosphere that blends authentic Irish pub charm with classic American grille favorites. After relocating to its current home on Asp Avenue in 2008 to accommodate university expansion, O’Connell’s continues to thrive as a game-day tradition on Campus Corner, where fans pack the venue for Sooners matchups, cold beers, and sizzling burgers amid walls of TVs and energetic camaraderie. The menu highlights fresh, comforting pub classics such as build-your-own burgers, fish and chips, loaded fries, wings, and seasonal specialties, all paired with a full bar and a calendar full of events including trivia, karaoke, and legendary St. Patrick’s Day celebrations featuring green beer and commemorative mugs. Beyond the food and drinks, O’Connell’s has become a community cornerstone, hosting generations of memories from graduations and birthdays to casual neighborhood hangouts. With its rich history and unwavering commitment to hospitality, the pub remains a quintessential Norman destination where sports, good company, and Irish-inspired cheer come together.
