History

Established in 2005.

Occupies the building where a former well-​loved women’s clothing shoppe, O’Meara’s, clothed women and girls for decades. The pub was designed by a company out of Dublin while the construction of the pub involved local contractors overseen by an ornery Irishman.

More than a bar, Brigid’s Cross strives to create and maintain the «community public house» feel through activities that bring families and all the community together. Brigid’s Cross has supported countless local non-​profit organizations through its «charity of the month» program since the first year of business — demonstrating our committment to the quality of life for every individual, including those with furr.

Meet the Business Owner

Ann H.

Business Owner

Daughter of a first generation full blooded Irishman owing much of her wit and orneriness to said heritage. She learned to appreciate a perfect cup of tea from Donegal-​born grandfather, a good fiddle from her dad and the importance of a perfect pint from her fiddling adventures in Ireland. Brigid’s Cross was born out of those elements and more. Ann has a doting husband (she calls her cheapest employee) and 3 talented boys — all of whom are musicians. Ann loves to be directly involved with her guests as well as fiddling although now both vocations are challenged by a recent diagnosis of a progressive form of MS. Even so, Ann still does what she can to make her staffs’ lives interesting and a warm chuckle at guest tables. Why the name of Brigid’s Cross? St Brigid of Kildare is the patron saint of dairy and aside from all the other wonders of her life she turned milk into beer. Brilliant!
