O’Connor’s Old Market
Hearty sandwiches, pub comfort, and Old Market energy.
O’Connor’s brings together the easy pace of an Irish pub with the kind of sandwiches people actually crave for lunch, before events, and on long catch-up nights in Omaha’s Old Market.
Why people stop in
A lunch-and-late-afternoon spot built for the neighborhood.
Fast enough for lunch
Guests looking for something more satisfying than a quick snack can settle into a sandwich, a side, and a pint-friendly atmosphere without turning lunch into an all-day project.
Relaxed enough for groups
The room works for easy meetups, game-day conversations, and the kind of meals where nobody feels rushed to leave after the first round of fries.
Close to Old Market foot traffic
The Old Market district draws diners looking for casual food and character, which is exactly why the pub-and-sandwich combination feels right here.
The sandwich standard
Big flavor starts with balance, not overload.
Great pub sandwiches should feel substantial without turning messy or heavy halfway through. The focus here is on crisp bread, warm fillings, and combinations that still make sense with chips, soup, or a draft pour.
- Crunch from toasted bread or a well-finished bun
- Enough richness for pub comfort without flattening the flavor
- Clean pairings that work from midday to event-night service

Pub atmosphere
Food matters more when the room feels lived in.
O’Connor’s has always been about more than the plate. The draw is the mix of familiar pub comfort, conversation-friendly seating, and the sense that a sandwich and a drink can still be the center of a genuinely easy night out.
That combination fits naturally in Omaha’s Old Market district, where people come looking for places with personality rather than generic dining-room polish.
