40th Anniversary
Since 1985, O’Brien’s Pub has been Allston’s loudest, stickiest, most unapologetically real room for live music. We’ve hosted legends, launched locals, and never once asked anyone to quiet down. To mark 40 years of chaos, sweat, and sound, we’re throwing a year-long series of anniversary shows — bringing back old friends, booking future icons, and raising a glass to four decades of noise.
