According to the menu at the new sports bar Oh'Mulligans in Morrisville, they're "the hometown sports pub, grill and restaurant that offers more for the family." As surprising as it is to hear a reference to family in the former sketchy Out of the Park's location, it's also a great relief. A fresh start is exactly what this spot needed. If the old Out of the Park bar and restaurant left more than a bad taste in your mouth, you'll be excited to know the new management has created a new feel altogether and totally turned it around.

So, what's in store for you at Oh'Mulligans? On the surface, it's your typical sports bar with sports logos on the walls, pool tables, and big screen TVs. They have a full bar, offering food and drink specials most nights. But what really makes this place special is the easy-going and carefree people. The bar and wait staff is always good-natured and polite, and very playful at times. The spirited character attracts the other service industry people in the area, like the Texas Roadhouse and Hooters staff from down the street, which is always the sign of a truly cool bar.

As for the drinks, if you enjoy the standard Anheuser-Busch offerings, you'll be pleased, but if you like microbrews or anything distinctive, you'll find their beer list unexceptional. They do offer Iron City and IC Lite, but if you're not from Picksburgh, you won't understand. Their wine list also needs some serious attention, as not-so-great and worse are the only two choices. They will gladly do frou-frou drinks for you, but shots and highballs are pretty much the norm here.

Oh'Mulligans offers all your typical bar food like wings, burgers and lots of fried appetizers, but their menu holds more than a few surprises on the entree list like Chicken Tampico and the Grilled Black Angus Ribeye. For a sports bar, the food is uncommonly healthy and well-prepared.

You won't find much of an RTP happy hour crowd here. It's more of an evening and night local crowd, enjoying the competition of the APA Pool League, and everyone's favorite, worldtavernpoker.com Texas Hold'em tournaments on Wednesday and Saturday nights. Game nights are big too, and Oh'Mulligans proudly caters to fans of University of Michigan, Penn State and the Pittsburgh Steelers (to name a few). That's great news for those of you find the scene at Sammy's too college-y for your tastes.

Now is the perfect time to give the new Oh'Mulligans a try, for a departmental lunch, after work drinks or some late-night Texas Hold 'em, as they are trying hard to overcome the stigma and are out to prove the new staff, new menu, and new management cleaned this space up nicely.
