A taste of Ireland
Nellie Gavin’s Irish breads & scones
Nellie Gavin’s Irish breads and scones have been the house signature since the Gavins took over in 1961, and they’re still baked fresh and served every day — a taste of Ireland you won’t forget. Want some at home? Order the Irish Box, or the Christmas Irish Box for the holidays.
Every Columbus Day weekend the kitchen makes its famous Guinness stew for Guinness Fest, and in November we roast the turkey for Friendsgiving. Thanksgiving boxes of breads, scones, maple syrup and local jam go out each fall.
The Pool Bar
On most summer days the Pool Bar is open about 12–8 PM, serving drinks poolside — including frozen drinks in our Gavin’s logo glasses — and hosting Tuesday outdoor karaoke and DJ nights from 5 to 8 PM.
After dinner, head to Gavin’s Pub for live music.
