The Inn of the Irish Pub is located a block from the beach and boardwalk. It’s been a staple in Atlantic City since it was established in 1900 and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city. It’s absolutely a throwback to the days of yesteryear in its ambience, mood and decor! Upstairs you’ll find 60 guest rooms and a gift shop. When you walk upstairs from the pub you’ll be amazed. It’s a true gem!
The Irish Pub was a speakeasy during prohibition in the 1920’s as depicted in the television series Boardwalk Empire. It shrugged off the law and continued serving through prohibition but was raided by the Feds in 1922. Many famous people visited and stayed there including Joe DiMaggio and Willie Nelson. In fact there’s a Joe DiMaggio memorabilia room. The pub is open 24/7 and is one of the only establishments in A.C. allowed to serve alcohol 24/7 outside of the casinos. Many local fans and return guests will only drink here, not in any of the newer glitzy bars.
The Irish Pub’s food is delicious, as well as affordable, fast and friendly. You’ll be amazed at the cost of the rooms and the prices on the menu.
Don’t miss the gift shop or memorabilia rooms when you visit!
