We`re Irish, not German, so we`re NOT celebrating Oktoberfest.
Not-Oberfest you might say
However -
We are celebrating Irish Music and Beer this weekend!
Specifically, Irish lager, which is different than German lager.
We`ll have pints of Irish lager for $5 and 60 oz pitchers for $10 on Friday and Saturday!
Stop by and celebrate with us.
If it rains we won`t be upset, it will seem even more like Ireland.
