Toledo Restaurant Guide

The Blarney is one of Toledo's truly authentic pubs. Visiting over 35 pubs in Ireland in March of 2006 inspired owner Ed Beczynski to open an Irish Pub in Downtown Toledo, Ohio. Finding the right building in Downtown was the key, if opening an Irish Pub with an old feel to it was going to work. The building was found by publisher and owner of The Toledo Free Press, Tom Pounds who The Blarney and The Toledo Free Press bought and split the building together. With the Free Press above The Blarney it was a perfect fit.The Blarney Irish Pub opened in November 6 2006. All the furniture and many items on the walls were bought in Ireland and shipped to Toledo to make our guest feel like there at a pub near The Blarney Castle in County Cork Ireland. While in Ireland Ed learned how important was pouring a perfect pint of Guinness and in the first 5 months has sold over 150 kegs of this roasted barley drink!Also while in Ireland, Ed realized that what made a pub great was the music. The Blarney Irish pub has live music Thursday thru Saturday. Celtic Irish bands play 2nd Saturday of each month with bands from Canada, Detroit, Ann Arbor and Toledo.The Blarney also provides hearty and delicious fare like you'd expect from an Irish Pub. Irish classics include: Bangers and Mash, Potato Latkes covered with corned beef and served with sour cream, Fish and Chips, our own special pilled high Celtic Reuben, and more. Traditional Pub items are also featured including fresh burgers, fresh, crisp salads, a variety of sandwiches, and steaks, seafood and chicken entrees. Don't forget about our 15 draft beers, there's something for everyone.So pull up a stool and grab a pint. We look forward to serving you at The Blarney.
