Here in New Jersey, we love a good Irish pub! These classic watering holes not only have some of the best drinks in the Garden State, but they often serve classic Irish dishes like fish and chips and corned beef and cabbage. They can be found all around the state, with some of the best located in Metuchen and Spring Lake. However, the most historic Irish pub in New Jersey, surprisingly, is located somewhere else entirely – a Marriott in Whippany! The Hanover Marriott is a typical modern luxury hotel, popular with business travelers, but its hotel restaurant has something very different about it. The Auld Shebeen, the hotel’s pub, doesn’t just feel like a taste of Ireland in New Jersey – parts of it were actually built in Ireland and shipped over here! It’s a trip to the Emerald Isle unlike any other.

Like a time-displaced relic, the Auld Shebeen Pub awaits in the lobby of a modern hotel in Whippany.

Inside, it'll be like you stepped inside a time capsule to old Ireland, but that's not the most impressive thing about this place.

The bar and many other parts of the pub were built in Ireland, shipped across the ocean, and reconstructed in the traditional fashion!

With a pedigree like that, it's no surprise the cocktails served here are top-of-the-line.
