The hospitality group comprised of Brendan Kearney, David Bartulovic and brothers McPat and Seamus Coyne are behind some of the most popular concepts in and around Willoughby. Collectively, they operate Nora’s Public House, Wild Goose, Sol, Fiona’s Coffee Bar, Mickey’s Ice Cream and four Crowley’s locations.

That building has been joined by a new addition to create a multidimensional space that pairs an intimate Irish pub with a more contemporary Irish-American restaurant.
“We always wanted to do a legit, authentic Irish pub,” says Kearney. “Our families are off-the-boat from Ireland, and we really wanted to represent what we see over there, the people that we meet. We took a lot of time to plan out the interior – trying to find as much of that Old World feel that we can add to it.
