The Sarasota pub is growing Irish 31 brand’s seventh Florida location, with others in Hyde Park Village, WestShore Plaza, Wiregrass, Westchase, Seminole and Clearwater Beach, but eighth in total including the Irish 31 space on the Chase Club level in Amalie Arena. Located directly across the street from Westfield Siesta Key, the Sarasota location boasts 3,000-square-feet of meticulously planned, intimate space, with exquisite finishes, wall-to-wall televisions, beautiful wood accents, a chef-inspired menu, and a pup- friendly outdoor patio that is sure to appeal to both their Southgate and ‘West of Trail’ neighbors. Irish 31 Sarasota promises live music nightly, trivia, a free run club, and daily Happy Hour.

Irish 31 Pub House & Eatery’s flagship location opened in Hyde Park Village in September 2011, Westchase followed two years later in October of 2013, and then Westshore in August of 2016. The opening of Wiregrass in 2017 kicked off a much more aggressive growth phase for the brand, and now, just halfway through 2019, Sarasota, Seminole and Clearwater Beach have been welcomed to the family. Permitting and construction are under way at Oviedo, Gainesville and Lakewood Ranch, and the goal of becoming the world’s most recognizable and respected Irish Pub brand is rapidly becoming a reality; one location and community at a time. Jay Mize and his team strive for excellence through exceptional food, legendary service, and a commitment to the highest of standards deserving of every person that walks through their doors, but above all else, their commitment to being the heartbeat of the community through a passion for philanthropy makes them “The People’s Pub” and a welcomed addition to Sarasota County. ### Located at 3750 S.
