Default Is O' Shea's Gone?
On my way to Sparrs it looked like O'Sheas is gone. No tables and chairs outside and nothing on their sign. Definitely not open for lunch and not a soul around.

Not surprised but tis a shame they couldn't find a way to survive until snowbird season -- that may have been a turning point (if food and folks working there improved). Would be nice to get a restaurant there with good food and service.

Very compassionate Mick, the owners tried and failed, probably lost a ton of money and many people out of work now before the holidays.........

Default O'Shea's
We are sad it closed. We enjoyed the different food options they provided and the meals were excellent. We get tired of "South Mex", "BBQ", the "Irish themed" foods were excellent - no one else in the villages offer that different flare - get's very boring when all the restaurants in all the squares are repeated. Need fresh new blood!

Guess that proves that the high dollar beer at World of Beer beats out the cheaper stuff at O'Shea's.

Sorry, not a very nice thing to say. So many worked very hard to make O'Sheas a success. Great workers with families and no job 2 weeks before Christmas.
Maybe just a little compassion would be good.

Maybe for you but it didn't help O'Sheas while WOB thrives despite a still relatively empty Brownwood. Location, Location, Location
