Irish Village
About
The Irish Village is a traditional Irish pub in Brighton that has been a neighborhood landmark since the early 1970s. It was originally owned by Peter Lee, a Galway native new to America, and it offered fellow Irish immigrants a taste of home before its welcoming atmosphere drew a wider crowd of locals. The bar became known as a place where newly arrived Irish emigrants could quickly settle into the local Irish scene.
Peter’s sons took over management in 1990, updating the room while keeping its history visible: framed photos of the Irish Village Soccer Club, handmade beer mirrors, an antique Guinness stanchion and a Budweiser Clydesdale promotional piece. In 2023 the pub expanded into the former bakery next door, adding a cozy lounge. The pub describes itself as clean, comfortable and stylish while staying true to its tradition as a neighborhood pub.
