McGrath’s Irish Pub was the first to sell Guinness on draft in the state of Vermont. We continue to sell the most Guinness to this day. The pub also has the largest selection of Irish Whiskeys in the state of Vermont. In July 1977, Kyran and Rosemary McGrath took ownership of the lodge, renaming it the Inn at Long Trail. They quickly set about to restore the rustic splendor of the building, including the natural wood beams and the fieldstone fireplace, and reestablished a welcoming, hiker-friendly atmosphere. They also founded McGrath’s Irish Pub, which was the first in Vermont to sell Guinness on draft. Son Murray McGrath and his late wife Patty took over operations in 1994 and Murray continues to serve as innkeeper to this day.
