DUBLIN HALL

100 Ionia Ave SW, Grand Rapids

A new Irish Bar in Grand Rapids with a twist on the food menu! Laid-back watering hole featuring burgers, beers and cocktails.

O'Toole's Public House

448 Bridge St NW, Grand Rapids

Since opening in 2003, we’ve strived to create a bar that people can call home. A place where you can grab a drink after work and let the stress of the office disappear. A place where you can spend all Sunday drinking Bloody Marys with your BFFs. Whether you’re in a sweatshirt or suit & tie, O’Toole’s is a place you can call home.

Quinns and Tuites

1535 Plainfield Avenue Northeast, Grand Rapids

In 1984, Grand Rapids locals Bill Quinn and Rick Schall took over Pete Brown's Office. By St. Patrick’s Day 1985, The Fenians—many still cherished regulars—brought the spirit of Ireland to the pub with their songs and stories. Although the pub became an authentic Irish haven on Plainfield Avenue, the name remained unchanged for nearly 15 years. Today, Quinn & Tuite's celebrates all things Irish. Our walls reflect a love for Ireland, and we're proud to serve Michigan's finest pint of Guinness. Named Grand Rapids' best neighborhood bar in 2014, there’s always something happening here, from social club gatherings to our lively annual Paddy’s Day celebration. Come join us, won’t you?
