O’Brien’s Social Bar & Kitchen
Located on the lower level of Red Shores Charlottetown, O’Brien’s Social Bar & Kitchen proudly pays homage to PEI resident and Hall of Fame horseman Joe O’Brien.
Hailing from Alberton, PEI, O’Brien was esteemed as one of the premier all-around horsemen in harness racing. Renowned for his exceptional skills as both a trainer and a driver, he secured victory in numerous prestigious races with champion horses including Scott Frost, Fresh Yankee, Armbro Flight, Steady Star, and Shadow Wave.
Today, his enduring legacy in the sport is honored through the O’Brien Awards, an annual celebration recognizing the top performers, individuals, and equine athletes in Canada.
