An Irish pub with a Hawthorne welcome.
Our story
Irish character.
Hawthorne at heart.
David McGoldrick and Roy O’Donovan pictured a local Irish pub where neighbors could settle in over a proper meal. Good beer, a thoughtful wine selection and craft cocktails would share the table with food at approachable prices.
The opening menu was developed alongside consulting executive chef Christine Nunn, pairing Irish classics with a fresh approach to pub food. A hand-hewn bar and Irish woodwork gave that idea a home on Lafayette Avenue.
Today, that welcome extends from Sunday brunch and a seat at the bar to matches on the TVs and celebrations in our private party room. Come for your usual—or make this the start of a new tradition.
