Great Irish Hooley
Although taking place at Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant, it’s a celebration for families and those of all ages. In the spirit of the Hooley, children can get complimentary face painting at the event. Additionally, the live music is for everyone to enjoy during all hours of the day. “Multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, and winner of several Irish music awards, Sina Theil” is not only the headliner but also named Rising Star of 2022. Other artists of the Irish Folk genre will also be in attendance, like Strings & Things, One of the Foxes, and Oliver Havlin.

If that’s not enough of a reason to stop by for brunch, dinner, a drink, or all three, the new menu items may be. For starters, bartenders are whipping up some adult beverages that are brand new for the event. “Stars & Hearts,” Keeper’s Heart Whiskey Flight, and Heart of the Hooley may just steal your heart.
If you’re looking for authentic Irish cuisine, look no further. Delicious new bites include Crispy Cream Goats Cheese Salad, Guinness & Onion soup, and the Sea Board. Of course, classics like Fish and Chips are always available and a staple on the menu. If you’re looking for a bite to enjoy from the sidelines, Cookes of Dublin is serving up Combo Box with Battered Cod & Shrimp, Hog in a Box, Bang Bang’s Loaded: Buttermilk fried chicken, and Cookes Cheesecake.

“And of course, Raglan Road’s very own award-winning troupe will lead guests through a lively ceili,” Disney writes. They are the main event of local Irish and Celtic celebrations and date back to the 1500s. Additionally, Raglan Road will not charge cover charges but highly recommends reservations if you intend to join in on the fun.
