Séamus McCaffrey’s opened its doors in 1991 with a simple idea. Bring a real Irish pub to the center of Phoenix. More than 3 decades later, we are still here in Downtown Phoenix, still family-run, and still known for the kind of welcome that turns first-timers into regulars. If you are searching for an authentic Irish pub in Phoenix, you have found the one that started it all.
Downtown has changed a lot over the decades, and Séamus has grown with it. Any night of the week you will see a mix of neighbors and newcomers. People who work nearby, students, fans headed to a game or a show, and the service-industry pros who know where to find a great bar after their shift. It is lively without being pretentious, friendly without trying too hard. Just a solid local pub where everyone fits.
Our kitchen serves Irish classics and pub favorites built for comfort and good company. Boxty, shepherd’s pie, and fish and chips share the menu with stacked sandwiches, burgers, and starters made for the table. Behind the bar, you will find one of the best whiskey selections in Phoenix. Irish whiskey and single malt Scotch lead the way, with plenty of bourbon and perfectly poured pints to round things out.
Weekends often bring live music, the kind that keeps the room buzzing and the night moving. We also host special events throughout the year, so there is always something happening at Séamus. The biggest celebration of all is our annual St. Patrick’s Day street party on Monroe, a Downtown Phoenix tradition filled with great beer, great food, and a whole lot of green.
