Patricia Coughlin Landowski was one of eight daughters born to Tom and Maggie Coughlin in Madison. Jerry “Bear” Landowski was one of seven children born to Anton and Florence Landowski on a potato farm in North Dakota during the Depression. When the Polish potato farmer met the lovely Irish lass, the result was “Pirish,” along with myself and seven siblings.
Raised just two blocks east of the Pub at 213 East Sherman Avenue, all eight Landowski children learned a lot about cooking, entertaining, taking chances, and running a business from Pat and Jerry. Although they are no longer with us, the homestead, family, and now the pub remain as a testament to their love for their family, Mom’s ability to create wonderful new recipes, and a shared joy in entertaining.
The interior of the Pub has been completely remodeled to create an Irish Pub atmosphere. Our head chef, James Garthwait, is the magician in our kitchen and loves to come out from the back to discuss the day’s specials. We take great pride in providing unique and delicious menu items that change regularly along with outstanding service. Our goal is to make you feel like you are in Pat and Jerry’s home, enjoying a home cooked meal and being part of the wonderful family traditions they created.
Welcome – Slainte!
