Did you know...?
…That we have several new menu items on the list
Welcome to O'Connell's Irish Bar - the premier Irish Bar in the City of Tampere, Finland.
Come on in, kick back for a while and have a look around.
Only a week to St. Patrick's Day!
On Wednesday 17th of March it’s time to party and honour the patron saint of Ireland!
The doors open at 16.00 and then everything magically turns green, the beer, the cocktails, the cider, the staff, you…
Come early if you want to find a seat and get a hat. There’s an award for best costume. The guys of Jhary’s will be playing live and we might also have another performance during the evening.
All draught products will be on discount and there’s also the specialty cocktails for affordable prices. Our chef Jussi will be serving a special Paddy’s Day buffet at a very affordable price in addition to the regular menu. And of course we’ll be treating you to the traditional cake in the form of an Irish flag!
So dress green and bring your friends along for an unforgettable Wednesday!

The revolutionary 'Student Discount Tuesday'
Sure there are plenty of bars looking to get the students in with the appeal of cheap beer. The only problem is that, while the domestic products are alright, nothing is done with any of the great imported beer coming in.
O’C‘s is here to change all that by giving generous discounts on all of our tap selection. For between €4.50 and €5.50 per pint you can have your choice of the best beers from around the world. Bring along your valid student ID!
