THIS BEAUTIFUL HOME, BUILT IN 1887, WAS ORIGINALLY HOME TO ONE OF THE SUPERINTENDENTS AT THE BARKER RAILROAD COMPANY.
WE HAVE RESTORED THE HOME TO MUCH OF ITS ORIGINAL BEAUTY. WE WERE ABLE TO RETAIN MOST OF THE ORIGINAL WOODWORK INCLUDING
THE POCKET DOORS AND THE ORIGINAL WOOD FLOORING.
THE PARLORS FORM
THE FIRST TWO DINING ROOMS AND THE BAR AREA WAS BEAUTIFULLY CONSTRUCTED TO MATCH THE ARTISTRY OF THE HOME. EACH
OF THE ROOMS IS DEDICATED TO OUR DIFFERENT IRISH ANCESTORS. THE FIRST PARLOR IS THE "DUGGAN ROOM". ALL
THE PICTURES IN THAT ROOM ARE FROM THE DUGGAN SIDE OF THE FAMILY. THE FLAG IN THAT ROOM IS THE FLAG FROM COUNTY
MAYO, IRELAND, WHERE THE DUGGANS WERE BORN AND RAISED. THE SECOND ROOM IS THE "HONAN ROOM". THE HONANS
WERE FROM COUNTY CARLOW BUT MOVED TO CORK. THE PICTURES IN THAT ROOM ARE FROM THAT SIDE OF THE FAMILY INCLUDING THE
BEAUTIFUL HONAN CHAPEL LOCATED AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CORK COLLEGE. THE FLAGS IN THAT ROOM REPRESENT THE HONANS -
COUNTY CARLOW AND THE McGINNIS FAMILY - COUNTY ARMAGH. IN THE THIRD ROOM YOU HAVE THE "O'CONNOR ROOM".
AGAIN, ALL THE PICTURES ARE OF THE O'CONNOR FAMILY AND THE FLAG IS FROM THIER COUNTY, COUNTY GALWAY. THE BAR AREA
HAS PHOTOS FROM THE McGINNIS FAMILY ITSELF.
MANY OF THE ITEMS ON THE WALLS IN THE BAR AREA (OR ON THE CEILING)
HAVE BEEN GIFTS FROM OUR LOYAL PATRONS AND WE APPRECIATE THEM VERY MUCH. THE WALLS ARE ALSO ADORNED WITH PLACQUES STATING
THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE PATRONS. PLEASE STOP IN AND JOIN ONE OF OUR MANY CLUBS, FOR EXAMPLE THE 100 PINT CLUB!
THE KITCHEN IS LOCATED ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND ALL FOOD IS TRANSPORTED VIA A TRUE, WORKING, DUMBWAITER.
IF YOU OR YOUR CHILDREN HAVE NEVER SEEN A WORKING DUMBWAITER, IT IS WORTH THE TRIP. WE ALSO HAVE A PARTY ROOM ON THE
SECOND FLOOR ACCOMODATING UP TO 35 PEOPLE. RECENTLY WE HAVE ADDED THE OUTDOOR PATIO AND FIREPLACE. THE LARGE TREE
IN THE BACK HALF OF THE PATIO ALLOWS FOR SHADE ON THE HOT SUMMER DAYS, WHILE THE ATTRACTIVE STONE FIREPLACE WARMS THE COOL
EVENINGS. FULL SERVICE IS AVAILABLE ON THE PATIO.
OUR MOST RECENT ADDITION TO THE PATIO IS THE CORNERSTONE
FROM MY FATHER'S TWO-ROOM SCHOOL HOUSE IN COUNTY MAYO, IRELAND. CLOON GALONE SCHOOL, BUILT IN 1883, WAS A SMALL
SCHOOL, JUST TWO ROOMS. EACH ROOM WAS GRADES FIRST THROUGH EIGHTH, ONE ROOM FOR THE GIRLS AND ONE ROOM FOR THE BOYS.
THE PUB HAS A TRIP EVERY FEBRUARY TO IRELAND. ON OUR SECOND ANNUAL TRIP, IN FEBRUARY, 2008, THROUGH AN UNUSUAL SET OF
COINCIDENCES, WE WERE ABLE TO HAPPEN UPON THIS STONE, A GREAT ADDITON TO OUR IRISH PUB. WE TRULY HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
IRELAND HERE AT THE PUB! 
FAMILIES WELCOME! CHILDREN'S MENU AVAILABLE.
