O'Learys

The chain was founded by Jonas Reinholdsson and Anne O'Leary[1] and the first restaurant was opened in Gothenburg on 16 November 1988 at Basarsgatan 10.

[1] Reinholdsson was working at a sports bar in Boston and took a liking to the local mix of people, food and drink.

After the couple moved to Reinholdsson's home country Sweden they decided to found a Boston-style bar.

This type of restaurant can be found all over the United States, such as Boston, New York, Chicago and San Francisco.

As of December 2017, the chain has a total of 126 restaurants in 16 countries, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Estonia, Iceland, Lithuania, Belgium, Spain, Hungary, The Netherlands, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, China, Singapore and Vietnam.
