O'Leary's Space Goes Up for Sale

The Sunset Hills pub, co-owned by actor John Goodman, seeks a new owner after 16 years in business. Where will you go for your fried pickles and other Irish fare now?

Residents may soon have to say goodbye to .

The Sunset Hills pub is on the market for just shy of $400,000, according to commercial real estate site LoopNet.com.

The establishment, best known for its fried pickles and connection to co-owner John Goodman, has been in business for 16 years. A representative for Kaplan Real Estate told Patch health issues played a factor in the family's decision to retire from the restaurant business.

Jan O'Leary confirmed Thursday that they posted the space for sale.

The 4,500 space includes furniture and equipment, 192 patio seats, even 11 flat-screen TVs. O'Leary said future owners can choose to retain the pub's identity, or re-open as a new space.

The restaurant was on New Year's Eve 2010, and the restaurant hosted a fundraiser to benefit the storm's victims, according to KSDK.

This was a restaurant I was told to check out as a newbie to the community! Would you like to see the restaurant's identity retained? What other cuisine would be good along Lindbergh?

When you see the words.. 'Health Issues' and 'fried pickles' in the same paragraph..''you have to wonder if it's a coincidence.....

I'm thinking the place has had a string of bad luck—it had to pay in a lawsuit over a SH cop who left there after 5 drinks, and killed 4-5 people in a drunken car crash. Then, the New Year's Eve tornado blasted it when Goodman was there visiting. He walked outside after the doors and windows had been blown out, asked a woman if she was okay, and drove away.

A comment was removed because it Violates our Terms of use. In case my email funneled to a bogus address: please re-post (minus the profanity)!

The new owners should add craft beers and use the old menu from Growler's pub.

O'Leary's has a new owner! I'll post more details after tonight's meeting!

Well if the woman said she was OK I don't see the point of Mr. Goodman sticking around. He probably had other people and property to check on after the tornado came through.

Jean... You about 90% wrong. THe Sunset HIlls cop did not leave O'Learys after 5 drinks. She DID leave before 11:00p. She had her accident at 1:45am after leaving Fandango's at Doughtery Ferry and Big Bend, but Goodman's name isn't on Fandango's note. And as for your assessment of John's character on New Year's Eve Tornado. John was not O'Leary's when the tornado hit. He was on his way on there. He arrived well after the tornado hit. After he checked on his friends and others and the police ASKED to him to leave the area... he went to one of his oldest friend's FUNERAL. IS that okay with you Jean? Does John or Kevin, whomever need to make an announcement to you as to why they are leaving? Oh by they way none this is really your F-ing business to begin with but if you are going to inject your opinion; back it up with FACTS.

NEW OWNER but same marginal food and bad service
Karlie Baker (Editor) December 8, 2012 at 12:52 pm
Actually Jimmy, the new owner hasn't taken over yet. That will occur after the first of the year.
Jessica Winter Riddle January 3, 2013 at 10:18 pm
The new owner is "Jason" Green. He has been the general manager of McGurk's for more than 10 years. I am really excited to see him take over this restaurant. He has done an astounding job with McGurk's over the past decade. I can only see great promise as he becomes the owner and manager here at O'Leary's. I can't wait to see my new friend and his wife, who is an amazing chef, put their great spin on this establishment!

Jan and Kevin will be missed!

I know the vast majority of Crestwood residents, myself included, wanted to see something done withRead More the old mall. It's too bad this is not reflected in our elected officials. I have given up hope. I just wish that I would have bought a house in Webster or Kirkwood rather than Crestwood. In a few years it will be nothing but empty buildings and resale stores while surrounding communities eat our lunch and our property taxes increase. What a shame.

how many meetings did the aldermen have to have just to keep the mall open for mall walkers
