WJ Morrissey Irish Pub is scheduled to open tomorrow (Thurs). Actually, just the bar is planning on opening (shooting for 8pm)... and then next week there will be a limited menu. Shortly afterwards the restaurant will introduce a full food offering (see continued) that will include dishes such as Shepherd's Pie, Guinness Irish Stew, All-Day Irish Breakfast and... Bangers (from Spars) and Mash!

The public got a small taste of the new restaurant's atmosphere during the weekend of St. Patty's Day. It was, however, only a quick glimpse before the doors were shut and work continued inside and outside of the establishment. Since that time the concrete sidewalk has been busted up to make room for spring plantings. New railings have been added to the patio, and faux green pillars and brick walls (more on that from Bill Z.) have been installed. The exterior windows match the Savarino building at 26 Mississippi, which brings a unified look to the street. The restaurant is still looking for a full time manager and is also looking to fill kitchen and server positions. Those interested should apply at Morrisey's (30 Mississippi between Perry and South Park) or Colter Bay (corner of Allen and Delaware).

    I think that you should make it a habit of ALWAYS listing the address of the places you're talking about.

    $7 to $10 for a meal and a side is cheap. I seen the building, looks nice. I wish them luck. I'll be checking it out in the near future.

    My understanding is that the pub will feature soccer and rugby matches. They also have said they will have "music sessions" mid week. the guys running the place are excited and have lot planned for pub.

    Hopefully they do it right, don’t care much for the trad sessions, but would defiantly be there if they show MLS, EPL or any of the other major leagues. The menu reminds me a lot of Molly Brannigans in Erie, PA, but I am interested to see the drink menu.
