Kildare’s Irish Pub to take over the McFadden’s Space in Early September
The most authentic Irish Pub in the country was voted 2009’s 7th Best Irish Pub in the world by the online travel magazine; Enduring Wanderlust.
(West Chester, PA)—Restaurateur, Author, Motivational Speaker and Irish Pubs Global board member, Dave Magrogan is proud to announce the opening of Kildare’s newest location at 1576 North High St. South Campus Gateway in Columbus. The restaurant will open in early September (date TBD) as “The Pub and Restaurant” and will remain open throughout football season. They will serve a limited food and drink menu until they close for renovations in December and re-open in January as Kildare’s Authentic Irish Pub offering their award winning authentic Irish menu and their extensive premium draft selection. Patrons will be able to enjoy a fabulous new menu that has been launched in every Kildare’s location around the country.
“We are looking forward to introducing Columbus to our authentic Irish dishes that also keep American preferences in mind,” stated Executive Chef Steve Calise. “Our food is prepared fresh nothing frozen and our chefs have trained with the best in Ireland.”
Magrogan, CEO and Founder of the original Kildare’s, opened his first Kildare’s Irish Pub in West Chester, Pennsylvania in May 2003. A frequent visitor of Ireland, he decided to name the pub after the county Kildare because of it’s the birth place of Arthur Guinness and it is where Guinness brewed his first pint of stout. Magrogan and his team have each pub built in Ireland and then shipped to America.
“We basically keep the outside walls and inside we recreate Irish heritage, pub history and culture,” Magrogan stated. “We will have 6 containers full of Irish artifacts, bars, furniture, and antiques shipped in to use throughout the building and the space will be transformed to an Authentic Irish Pub.
Magrogan, who does not believe in just opening one of anything, opened his second location in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania in 2004. Shortly after that, he opened a 3rd location in Manayunk, a section of Philadelphia. The opening of the Newark, De pub soon followed, then Scranton, PA, Chapel Hill, NC, Notre Dame, IN and State College, PA.
Lunch and Dinner is served daily along with weekend Brunch and daily food and drink specials. They will also have Live Irish Music and the venue is perfect for private parties and events.
