Johnny Foley's Irish House

IRISH AUTHENTICITY WITH SAN FRANCISCO CHARM For over a century, Johnny Foley’s corner location has been a favorite San Francisco hang-out for poets, journalists, theater people, prominent sports figures, Irish musicians & dancers, area visitors and local movers & shakers. Originally from County Cork, founders Martin and Mary Connolly moved to New York in 1986. After a visit to San Francisco, they moved West in 1990. Harboring a strong entrepreneurial streak and attracted by the Bay Area’s open-minded spirit, Johnny Foley’s Irish House became the culmination of their dream when it opened in 1998. Named for a local Irish tenor with a rebel streak, from the day it opened with the cast of Ireland’s famous Riverdance troupe cheering them on, Martin and Mary have made Foley’s a home away from home for the Irish community - and a place where everyone is a “little bit Irish” all year long.
