September 17th is the Feast of St. Brendan. It is also 183 days until St. Paddy’s Day. If ever the Irish needed an excuse to celebrate anything, this is as good as anything.
Rising to the occasion, Molly Molone’s has imported, direct from America, the motley crew of C McBridge and Company (or whatever). This charming duo is playing back to back with the local folk singers Harmony Dem to provide the island’s Irish and those who simply enjoy good food, good fellowship, and drinks (after a while, who can distinguish) with a weekend experience.
Friday Noon the celebration kicked off with half price Irish things including such standbys as Shepherd’s Pie, Corned Beef and Cabbage, Bangers and Mash, and an exotic Irish Mixed Grill. Guinness Stout, Irish Mist, and other concoctions were similarly blessed.
While the crowd was relatively small, one cannot call any crowd in an Irish pub elitist, the music flowed and a good time was had by all.
Clevus McBridge and Company will be playing from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday through Tuesday, Sept. 18 – 21.
If you have ever enjoyed a good Irish ditty, you owe to yourself to join in the fun. Molly Molone’s is operated by the owners of Finn McCools and is found at the old Tickles location on the water at American Yacht Harbor. Plenty of free parking makes the experience even more enjoyable
