Click the image or here to purchase but be aware that you can’t use this Groupon on booze. I also thought it amusing that Groupon used an image of nice looking authentic tacos as one of their O’Toole’s food images. (See the mistake below.)

TaZa Coffee is taking a break. Will be closed from 7/1 – 7/7. They are still planning on moving downstairs to the bigger antique space things are just moving at the typical RVA pace. First I heard rumors of a sign on the door of Asian Galaxy that they were closed temporarily and now I hear [...]
Tonight from 7 p.m – 9 p.m. some fathers are gathering at O’Toole’s to discuss dadness. I can’t make it due to having some dad duties but I went last time and had a good time.

Groupon deal for O’Toole’s. The deal is for food only, no booze. Isn’t Guinness considered a food?
Each of these stories might have deserved their own post but in the interest of saving space on the internet I’m giving you a quick roundup. The Force will be strong at Parkside Cafe. They’ve announced a Star Wars night the last Sunday in November with costumed folks, Star Wars cookies, showing of a Star [...]
Does anyone else miss the white tent they would set up out front signifying that St. Patrick’s Day was just around the corner? Yes I realize that the new addition is a vast improvement over standing outside but I really liked the symbolic nature. White tent or no white tent St. Patrick’s Day is starting [...]
Richmond Magazine’s annual Best/Worst of Richmond has been on the newstands for a little bit and I finally got around to getting a copy.

Stop by O’Toole’s which hosts one of the biggest brawls on St. Pat’s. Richard is the one wearing the straw hat, green soccer jersey and the auburn muttonchops. Stop by, say hi, he’ll be there until 4pm at least.
Nearly every Wednesday at O’Toole’s a few of us gather to play chess and drink beer. It is an informal gathering and lately our numbers have dwindled, so I thought I would send out a request for those that play and never have an opponent or are looking for an excuse to drink beer. All [...]
Not only will O’Toole’s be blessed with Bless and the rest of the Happy Lucky gang but there are rumblings of even more accordion fun. From the Happy Lucky Communique we hear; A while back Pippin and I made a vow to play with people who are better than we are. So in that spirit, [...]
The Happy Lucky Combo plays this week, Wednesday, June 24 at O’Toole’s. Also featuring fellow Southsider John Winn and Emily Avesian.
Bad news accordian fans, The Happy Lucky Combo will not be performing at O’Toole’s this evening. I’m not sure how well I can play my weekly game of chess without the soothing sounds of klezmer music!
The traditional raising of the white tent that marks St. Patrick’s arrival into town is missing this week. That is because the addition at O’Toole’s will be open and all the revelry will be inside this year. As always O’Toole’s is not content with a one day celebration and instead goes for 3 straight days [...]
Two musical guests Jonathan Greenberg on trumpet and John Winn on clarinet. As always the music starts around 8:00 at O’Tooles. If you see some people playing chess stop by and say hello. A group of us gather every Wednesday to play. We don’t take chess too seriously and welcome all levels, unless of course [...]
The walls seperating the expansion from the current dining area are down so you can see into the new area. I didn’t have a camera so you will have to check it out yourself. A good amount of work remains to be done but what I can see looks great. The new taps are up, [...]

If you aren’t familiar with the group take a listen to one of their songs here. If you are already a fan make [...]
Richmond Magazine blog reported awhile back that the expansion of O’Toole’s will be completed by March 1st. The delay has been due to zoning issues.
Today’s T-D briefly mentions the work underway. The Snelson’s signs have been down for some time now, and work seems to be moving along quickly…
