Chris Murphy @ Griffins of Kinsale

Many folks have forgotten that pub means “public house.” Not Joe Griffin.

Ever since 2012, Joe has been building a beautiful “public house” in South Pasadena. Joe’s pub has more to it than being the local watering hole.

Instead, it is a gathering place rich with substance and the hum of busy conversation, a breeding ground for talent, a hub for people to come in contact with each other.

The menu goes hand in hand with the ambiance of the pub having traditional Irish fare, that is heartfelt and real. In short, Joe’s pub is dedicated to the public it serves. 

“I want the pub to be where the community comes around and celebrates together. It’s an extension of my living room. I want to welcome everyone who comes in, to join in and have a great time together.”
