Owner Chuck McGreal moved to Peekskill 11 years ago and he and his brother Joseph designed their bar to represents the pubs they grew up with back home. The recipes are straight from their mothers' recipes. She spent time here before opening day making sure their current chef knew had to prepare her traditional Irish fare.

On top of that, McGreal takes his Guinness very seriously. He has a whole system set up just for the Guinness tap in order to ensure it is poured at the correct temperature and handled properly.
