This got buried in the comments of the last post so I thought I’d bring it to the top of the page with it’s own post. Thanks to TK for the info:
It seems Frederick is getting a new Irish Pub, scheduled to open in July. It’s called Patrick’s Irish Pub and Restaurant and there’s speculation that it’s new location may be the spot recently vacated by Venuti’s on E. Patrick St. in downtown Frederick. Patrick’s currently has a restaurant on Pratt St. in Baltimore which is apparently up for sale so the owners can relocate to Frederick.

Uh oh, does this Bushwaller’s next on the list to be closed ?

No prob Liz frog, I actually had a friend tell me about that in January, but for some reason didn’t bring it to light here until I saw the Venutis post

I suspect Bushwallers will be okay.
Btw, didn’t I read some speculation somewhere awhile back about Jennifer’s being for sale?

I think Bushwaller’s will be just fine!

The only “Irish” item on their menu is the Shepherd’s Pie. But I do like the selections. I love crab cakes!
Having another Irish bar in town will help keep prices down due to competition.
For me, Jennifer’s can close today. The couple of times I went there the food was horrible!

There’s a fantastic irish place in DC called Fado. Its less than a block from the Verizon Center. Its a franchise restaurant (oddly), but it was fantastic. I went with my best friend and his little sister, who’s recently spent a semester studying in Ireland, and she said Fado is pretty true to what Irish pubs really are, other than the fact that its cleaner lol.

If you could call what they serve at bushwallers food than you are correct. As for it being irish, please don’t insult the thousands of Irish Americans who know how to cook and what real irish food is about. Bushwallers hasn’t been a place to eat in over 20 years. Without smoking I don’t see them making it.

What happened to Venuti’s?

It will be nice to have another irish pub in town. But I agree, it would be great if these places served really good Irish food. It doesn’t have to be expensive or absolutely authentic, but renaming a hamburger with an celtic theme is still just a hamburger.
One of my favorite irish resturants is in Key West - Finnigan’s Wake. Very good food and excellent Guinness (a requirement in my book)! It’s what in my mind what a great Irish pub/resturant should be.
O’Lordans in Westminster is good too, but a drive for me.
