P.J.O'Brien's Irish Pub

P.J. O’Brien’s Irish Pub is a Cairns City venue on Lake Street, positioned as a social pub for meals, drinks and entertainment. The kitchen serves lunch and dinner every day, with traditional Irish fare alongside familiar pub favourites. Named dishes include Irish stew, steak and Guinness pie, and pork sausages, while the venue also promotes all-day food specials and Guinness.

There is more to the venue than dining. The programme includes live music, sport on big screens, trivia and karaoke, giving visitors several reasons to drop in across the week. The website lists Tuesday trivia and Wednesday karaoke, as well as live music and other events, although schedules may change. It is a practical choice for a casual meal, a drink with friends or an evening built around entertainment rather than a formal dining experience.

P.J. O’Brien’s also caters for private functions, offering a characterful setting and the option to tailor menus to suit an event. That makes it suitable for groups and celebrations, while the relaxed, social atmosphere works for anyone looking for straightforward pub food and a lively Cairns venue. Wheelchair access is available. The pub is open daily for lunch, dinner or drinks, with the website noting closures on Good Friday and Christmas Day.
