Hooley
[.poss Hidust. Hoolie - a hindu festival, brought back by Irish
soldiers].
Extended
celebration, usually involving the consumption of alcohol.
In
the mid 1980’s while touring Europe Craig MacDonald, owner
and founder of Hooleys, made his first visit to Ireland. So taken
was he by the “Pub Culture” of the Emerald Isle he
decided there and then that he would one day import the warmth
and charm of an old Irish Pub to his hometown in San Diego, California.
With the help of two great friends (now partners), Craig realized
his dream and on Saint Patrick’s Day of 1999 the doors to
Hooleys Irish Pub & Grill first opened.
As
many Irish natives will attest, Hooleys Irish Pub & Grill
captures the true magic of an authentic Irish Pub. From the polished
brass whiskey still to the old church pews supporting the bar,
the entire décor has been shipped directly from Ireland.
Our
menu of which we are extremely proud of, offers you a taste of
old Ireland fused with that of a fine American steak house which
we are sure you will enjoy. Thank you for dropping in, and as
the Irish would say:
“Cead mile Failte” - One hundred
thousand welcomes!
-Cheers!
