An Irish pub is more than Celtic music, Guinness on draft and hearty cuisine on the menu. At Annie Bailey’s Irish Public House, we strive to ensure that our pub identity doesn’t begin & end with these iconic elements – rather, that they are the familiar, delicious trappings atop a foundation of the warm, inviting hospitality for which Irish pubs are known.

What you get is a blend of tradition, character & quality that makes for an experience that’s as casual or sophisticated or romantic or buttoned-up as you’d like it to be. From first dates to family reunions, client meetings to happy hours, ours is a space that caters to the community's varied palates & causes for occasion.

Anchored by a dependable mix of traditional Irish Fare, modern American cuisine, classic pub grub & seasonal chef specials. Accentuated by a stellar lineup of Irish & craft beers & ciders, shelves-on-shelves of whiskeys, signature cocktails and a weekend brunch that means business.

Annie Bailey's Irish Public House is part of the TFB Hospitality family. Located in the heart of Downtown Lancaster, PA, the pub is just steps away from the Lancaster County Convention Center, Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square, & Central Market Lancaster – the longest continually operating local farmer’s market in the country & provider of many an ingredient on our menu.

Pub History

1907

Before pints & spirits were being poured at 28-30 East King Street, the large Victorian-style building was home to one of Lancaster’s most revered clothiers – Sayres, Scheid & Sweeton. The “3-S” store opened in 1907 & operated for nearly 90 years before closing up shop in 1995.

2006

Annie Bailey’s Irish Pub made its long-awaited debut to the sound of bagpipes and plenty of calls for pints & whiskeys. With a quartet of Irish sons at the helm, the pub featured menu items, decor & furnishings shipped straight from Ireland.
