Those who have known us for many years know that we've played large venues like the Galaxy Theater (now The Observatory), The Coach House, The biggest Irish fairs in California, Get Shamrocked, The Orange International Street Fair and we've traveled out of the OC/Long Beach area to San Diego, Murrieta and Las Vegas. But you also know that we love playing our local pubs. The casual settings and camaraderie are an unmatched experience for us and hopefully for you. It's always a great time. The pubs we play and endorse are those that have treated bands and fans like family for so long now. Here's a short list of our favorite pubs and bars: Gallagher's Long Beach, Auld Dubliner Long Beach, Shamrock Murrieta, O'Malley's Seal Beach, Roscoe's Fullerton and Joe's Fullerton, The Harp Costa Mesa, Ireland's 32 Van Nuys and Muldoon's Newport Beach.
And most Irish pubs and bars have fantastic food. It has been great being able to show up a little early and have a great gourmet meal and a very carefully poured and delicious pint.
Other bars we've been to that deserve mentioning are The Shamrock Newport Beach, our first regular gig 24 years ago. Mulligan's Bar Dublin, the subject of our first American Wake written song. O'Donohue's in Dublin just because it's a great bar for the Irish experience and music sessions. The places we played in Las Vegas treated us great and the parties were EPIC; Jack's in Palace Station LV and J.C. Houlihan's at the Marriott in Summerlin. In San Diego County, Dublin Square and O'Sullivan's are a lot of fun. We had a blast in both of these bars.
We have loved playing the big gigs and feeling like rock stars but we hope you share our enthusiasm for our favorite pub gigs! We're having a blast most Saturdays and will continue as long as we can. So join us as often as you can! See you at the pub! Cheers!
