In 2005, the heritage building that is now ours was a neglected and vacant wreck. However, I decided to take on the restoration of the site and lovingly reproduce an authentic Irish Pub in beautiful Niagara-on-the-Lake. This fourteen-month project involved shipping the entire pub and restaurant contents from Ireland. What you see today is the award-winning "Irish Harp Pub".

Our mission is to bring you not only the true "Irish Experience" which is great food and beer, but most of all that unique Irish atmosphere and friendliness. All my staff is committed to making your visit to "The Harp" really special. Our extensive menu of home-style cooked food and a wide selection of beers and whiskies will hopefully make your visit memorable.

The Irish Harp is proud to have been awarded many accolades over the years, and our constant objective is to improve our services to you on a daily basis. From my General Manager to my kitchen staff, we constantly strive to bring you a "wee bit of Ireland" here in the prettiest town in Canada - Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Enjoy your visit - and as we say in Ireland, "May the wind always be at your back and the road ahead be straight and narrow".
