Kelly O’Bryan’s — Where History Meets Pub Vibes

There’s something special about stepping into Kelly O’Bryan’s & Carlos O’Bryan’s Pub in New Westminster. Housed in a building that’s stood since 1899, the space has a character you don’t often find in modern pubs. Its brick-and-wood details carry the weight of the past, while the menu and atmosphere make it a go-to spot for casual nights out with friends.

The menu is all about comfort food done pub-style. Burgers are stacked tall, loaded with bacon, cheddar, and all the fixings. Then there are the famous “pachos” — golden waffle fries smothered in cheese and green onions, perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself). It’s the kind of food that satisfies after a long day, paired perfectly with a pint.

But Kelly O’Bryan’s offers more than just good food and drinks. The pub has become a favorite gathering place for locals, where the combination of friendly service, a cozy setting, and a touch of history creates an atmosphere you want to linger in. Some even say the old building is haunted — a playful reminder that New West’s history is never too far away.

Whether you’re there for the food, the stories, or just a good night out, Kelly O’Bryan’s is a pub that brings people together. It’s unpretentious, familiar, and full of charm — the kind of place that keeps you coming back.
