St. Louis to Honour its Irish Ancestry by building a large Celtic Cross Monument!
Recently, I
visited my family's plot in Calvary Cemetery. There I saw that
our name has washed off of the monument that was erected in 1882.
When I found out about the Celtic Cross monument fund, I decided
that a donation to the monument would be a way to memorialize my
family in a way that everyone could see, not just cemetery
visitors.
You can join in this effort, too. It is a great idea!
St. Louis Has its Own Hurling Team!!!
What's more Irish
than the sport of "Hurling"?
Here is your
opportunity to join other hurling enthusiasts in the Irish-est of
sports.
They have formed a
league to play in St. Louis and against
clubs in Milwaukee,
Chicago and Atlanta. They
can always use new members!
Their Web Page has more information. Practices have moved to
Saturdays at 2:00 and 3:00 PM at
Northeast Middle School, at I-270 & Ladue Road.
Contact Paul Rohde
at hurlingboy_paul@yahoo.com or call him for more

St.
Louis Irish Arts Schedule for St. Louis
I don't know of any restaurant that specializes in Irish cuisine. The following places serve Guinness on tap and offer American menus. In Ireland, they would call it "pub grub". The following are my favourites.
|
| John D.
McGurk's Irish Pub 1200 Russell Blvd. St. Louis (Soulard Area) Phone: (314) 776-8309 |
McGurk's has an excellent Irish stew. Reasonably priced
food. Live traditional Irish music nightly. Pint of Guinness: $5.25!!! as of Jan. 2003 |
| John D. McGurks Irish Pub-O'Fallon, MO 108 S. Main St. O'Fallon, MO (636) 978-9640 |
Emphasis is on the restaurant - not just pub
grub, but a full dinner menu. Does not have music nightly. Pint of Guinness: $5.25 as of Jan. 2003 |

| Hennessey's Irish Pub Authentic Irish Pub Soulard Area 1730 S. 8th St. |
Very reasonable food. Not an "upscale" pub. Needs better ventilation. Regulars are a bit rowdy - not a family pub. Good place to go to party with friends |

Maggie's has a full menu of entrees and
appetizers at reasonable prices. Sometimes has Irish music.

| O'Connell's 4652 Shaw St. Louis Phone: (314) 773-6600 |
O'Connell's has a very nice decor. Food is so-so,
service is poor. Specialty is hamburgers. Fun place to go
for a reasonable lunch or after work gathering. |
| O'Malley's 1900 Cherokee St. St. Louis, MO 63118 |
One of the newest pubs in St. Louis. Food is reasonable.
In the historic Lemp/Cherokee district. |
| LLywelyn's 4747 McPherson (at Euclid) Saint Louis 314-361-3003 |
Not an "Irish" pub exclusively; has a British feel to it, but
the food is good, reasonable and the service
is good. |
