The Irish in Dublin, OH

Columbus’s Irish community has roots stretching back to the 19th century, when immigrants arrived to work in railroads, construction, and local industry. Today, cultural pride shines through festivals and music events across the city. Pubs like Fadó Irish Pub at Easton and neighborhood favorites such as MacToimin’s or McClellan’s Pub offer hearty food, live music, and a welcoming Irish atmosphere. Each March, the Columbus St. Patrick’s Day Parade winds through downtown, while the Shamrock Club of Columbus anchors year-round celebrations of Irish heritage.
