The Irish in Webster, NY

Located in the heart of the Village of Webster, NY, at the corner of Route 250 & Main Street, The Mary Wee Pub opened its doors in 2024, bringing a warm and inviting atmosphere to the community. The pub is proudly owned and operated by Mark Petzing, a seasoned hospitality professional with deep roots in the industry. Mark's passion for the restaurant business began at an early age, serving friends and family during card games while growing up at the Owl's Nest Inn. His journey continued as he learned the art of cooking at Jack Daniels, a family-owned establishment run by his grandfather and father. Mark spent many years honing his skills in the hospitality world, eventually lending a hand at Shamrock Jack's Irish Pub in Irondequoit, where he worked alongside his mother for over two decades. Now, with the unwavering support of his wife and three sons, Mark is fulfilling his lifelong dream of owning his own pub and restaurant. His vision is simple yet powerful: to create a space where everyone feels welcome, new friendships are formed, and fun is always on the menu. Together with Pub Manager Kate Becker and Head Chef Kurt DeJac, Mark is proud to bring his dream to life in the Village of Webster. Join us at The Mary Wee Pub-where great food, good company, and lasting memories await!
