The Pint Matters
Guinness is more than a menu item here. It’s part of what makes an Irish pub feel like an Irish pub.
OUR STORY
Simply Irish. Simply Great.
The Irishman was built to feel like the kind of pub where the owner knows the room, the Guinness matters, the whiskey shelf is worth exploring and nobody has to work too hard to feel welcome.
EST. 2014 · HUNTINGTON BEACHFOUNDED BY RAY HARTNETT
A real Irishman, a Huntington Beach address and a simple idea.
The Irishman Pub was founded by Ray Hartnett in February 2014 in beautiful Huntington Beach, California.
The vision was never complicated: create a true Irish experience built around a perfectly poured Guinness, premium authentic Irish whiskey and the kind of friendly service that turns customers into an extended pub family.
Ray is still part of what makes the room feel personal. If you run into him, expect a smile, a handshake and probably a story.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE PUB
Meet Ray. Feel at home.
Ray Hartnett founded The Irishman in 2014. Here’s Ray at the pub, along with a look at the place he built in Huntington Beach.
RAY & THE PUB FAMILY
The owner is still part of the room.
Ray Hartnett is not just the name behind the business. Regulars know him because he is actually there — welcoming guests, talking Guinness and keeping the pub personal.
The Whiskey Matters
A broad Irish whiskey selection gives regulars a reason to ask what they should try next.
The Welcome Matters
Friendly staff, familiar faces and an easy atmosphere are at the center of the experience.
The Little Things Matter
Even the free fresh-popped popcorn is part of the personality of the place.
DOWNTOWN HB
