Which bartender do you want to put in the hot seat? You are always revealing your secrets and life happenings to your bartenders, but why not flip the script while in quarantine? We will be having a Q&A with members of the staff. Let us know who you want to hear from first and send us some questions!

Besides us, who is starting to crave that signature Irish Pub fun and weirdness? We miss finding just one shoe at the end of the night, listening to the entire bar belt out Celine Dion, seeing someone pick up a tab from the night before just to start a new one, and joining in on an Eagles chant any day of the year! Stay Safe, Your Irish Pub Family
