O&s;neill&s;s

Family owned and operated for 87 years! O&s;NEILL&s;S first opened its doors as a restaurant on December 5, 1933, the day Prohibition ended. Originally founded as the Plateau Tavern by George O&s;Neill, Sr., the establishment has now been family owned and operated for 87 years. As O&s;NEILL&s;S thrived in the days following Prohibition, its most significant growth began when current proprietor George O&s;Neill, Jr. returned from a 1956 tour of duty as a US Army cook in Hawaii to join his father behind the bar and turn the establishment into a full-fledged restaurant. Generations later, O&s;Neill and his son-in-law Danny Pyle, who married O&s;Neill&s;s daughter Tara, are now co-proprietors. Over the course of eight decades, O&s;NEILL&s;S has earned a reputation well beyond just that of everyone&s;s favorite watering hole/eatery. As it&s;s also been the site of untold numbers of family christenings, communion gatherings, confirmation parties, birthday parties, anniversary parties, retirement parties, and unfortunately, funeral luncheons, O&s;NEILL&s;S itself is a reflection of the life of a community, and of the strong bonds forged that enable a community to thrive for generations upon generations. It&s;s also been the site of numerous fundraisers and charity events for those unfortunate times when the community has found itself in direst need, particularly in the days following 9/11. Since its heart and soul are the generations upon generations of families for whom it&s;s become a treasured gathering place, O&s;NEILL&s;S was especially proud to celebrate its 80th Anniversary on December 4, 2013 with a grandiose and festive alumni and customer appreciation reunion. Here&s;s to many more such gatherings in the years to come...
