Think you know the Irish pub? Think again. Join us on May 16 for an immersive journey through our historic houses on Lemmon Street to explore the real flavors of Irish and Irish-American pub culture. This isn't a lecture—it's a hands-on look at the affordable staples and clever traditions that turned a survival diet into a global legacy.

Throughout the tour, you’ll step into the lived experience of the 19th-century community. You'll get your hands dirty with the secrets of the domestic hearth, discover the rhythmic pulse of a neighborhood "session," and put your senses to the test against the science of the distiller’s cut. We’re connecting the dots between the historic kitchen and the modern American restaurant trope, showing you why these traditions are still such a staple today.

Once you have mastered the journey and uncovered the secret passcode, you will unlock access to our hidden backyard sanctuary. There, you’ll enjoy a communal spread of the comforts that defined the Irish-American table, including bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie, creamy champ, and the very handmade crackers you learned about on the tour.

Stick around for the atmosphere and our 2:00 PM raffle drawing for exclusive "Brews & Bites" and "Whiskey Tasting" baskets.
