Kick off your Yuletide season with our inaugural Irish Coffee Festival! We’re opening an hour early to host cookies and a you-call-it Irish Coffee Bar.

The first Irish Coffees were made by Chef Joe Sheridan at the restaurant of Foyne’s airport in Limerick, Ireland, when a flight was forced to return due to poor weather. The passengers were made comfortable by Joe’s piping hot coffee spiked with Irish whiskey; the drink was further developed at the Buena Vista Cafe in San Francisco, where it donned its signature dollop of whipped cream.

Menu (subject to change):

The Sheridan - Fresh coffee, Writer’s Tears, freshly whipped cream, Demerara sugar

The Nutty Professor - Fresh coffee, Writer’s Tears, Amaretto/Frangelico/black walnut blend, freshly whipped cream

The Baja - Fresh coffee, anejo tequila, Mexican hot-chocolate syrup, inferno bitters, whipped cream, orange tequila mist

The Peppermint Paddy - Iced coffee, peppermint-stick infused Writer’s Tears, whipped cream, frozen Rumple Minz shooter

No charge for entry, drink prices range from $12-16.
