OLearys

O'Learys is a chain of sports bars and restaurants with a presence primarily in the Nordic countries, specifically Sweden and Norway. The concept was founded in 1988 in Stockholm, Sweden, by Jonas Nilsson, Per Kjellander, and Thomas Davidson. The initial idea was to create a casual dining experience that combined American sports culture with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

The menu at O'Learys typically features a variety of American-inspired dishes, including burgers, ribs, wings, and salads. They are also known for offering a wide selection of beers and other beverages. A key element of the O'Learys experience is its strong emphasis on sports. The venues are often equipped with numerous televisions showing live sports events from around the world, creating a lively environment for fans.

Over the years, O'Learys has expanded significantly, establishing numerous locations in shopping centers, city centers, and other public spaces. The brand has become a recognizable name in its operating markets, often associated with a casual and entertaining dining and drinking experience. The company has undergone various ownership changes and restructuring throughout its history as it has grown and adapted to market demands.
