Keep the Irish Pub Tradition Alive

Donation protected
This has been a hard move to make, especially knowing that so many are struggling, but in the spirit of the establishment, and those that have made it so much more than just a business, we’re not going down without a fight. We are reaching out to you to help save our beloved Irish Pub.  


The Irish Pub has been a gathering place for a family of friends that have found themselves a patron, or employee, or both, since 1983. If those walls could talk they would tell stories of 37 years of a community built on libations and laughter, hugs and high fives, triumphs and tragedies, new beginnings and endings, and of course, so many shenanigans.



After 25 plus years of being a part of that family, last year, we took a leap, realized our dream, and took on the legacy as owners of Irish Pub. The first year has been one that no one could have predicted, and the punches keep coming in. The lockdown from Covid-19, recent rioting, and on-going requirements from the Health Department continue to impact sales, while the monthly overhead of $20,000 remains firm.


As the temperatures fall, the health department still firmly in place, sales will plummet even further. We simply cannot keep the doors open without your help. Closing would be detrimental to our dream, but also to our amazing team of employees and loyal patrons that look to the Irish Pub for their livelihood, financially or otherwise.


Any contribution is greatly appreciated. No amount too small. Please call us with any questions or concerns.  We want to be as transparent as possible to how we are doing through these cold months to come.  Our campaign goals and situation at the IP will be updated often here and on Facebook.


Our plans are to capture all contributors names (unless you prefer to stay anonymous) and create commemorative area in the bar to recognize the community that came together to keep the Irish Pub alive.
