One of my favorite (adopted) holidays of the year is Boxing Day, which is celebrated in the UK, among other places, the day after Christmas. To catch you up, Boxing Day is a secular holiday that dates way back to the Middle Ages. Much of Europe and Canada acknowledge it as a national holiday as […]
The Holidays are a special time of year at our Irish Pub. Yes, it’s hectic. And, yes, staff are working harder than ever. But, there is a vibe about the atmosphere here. It’s magic. And like any kind of spell, there are a few key ingredients that make it work. Music Everyone moans about Holiday […]
Guinness is The Original stout and the Irish take great pride in this …as they should. It’s a great beer. A really magnificent, beautiful beer. It has theatre and presentation like no other.

Yippee! Premiership starts August 16! Our Saturday and Sunday mornings are about to fill up with the best excuse to drink Guinness before noon, ever …English Premier League soccer. Yep, we’ll proudly open our doors early each weekend for the next 9 months to show live EPL matches. We also offer prizes with weekly predictor […]
