The pub’s bartenders also are whipping up new Hooley cocktails including “Heart of the Hooley” made with Keeper’s Heart Irish Bourbon and blackberry and mint shrub. And new dishes are slated to preview, including the culinary team’s first gourmet Guinness & Onion Soup, as well as a new Seaboard Sharing board for two with chef creations featuring a variety of ocean gems.

When you hear the word “Hooley,” you know to expect a good time.  It’s a Gaelic term for a lively, family-friendly party that ends up becoming legendary in one’s memory.

“At Raglan Road, our Hooley is about finding an excuse to party!” says general manager Rachael Conroy. “And there’s no better time to celebrate than Labor Day weekend, where we can soak up the last vibes of summer during a festival of unique Irish music, dance, and food.”
