A Brief History

How it all started

Joe Byrnes was Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY while his wife Pam is a native of Bath, ME. Joe spent nearly a Quarter Century in the US Navy retiring in 1996 as a Master Chief Petty Officer.The couple have three grown children who are all successful in their own right.

Joe’s dream was accomplished as Byrnes Irish Pub in Bath opened March 17, 2008 to a great festive crowd! The Beer flowed, the music played and a tradition was born!

Two Years Later, on St. Patrick’s Day 2010, A Second Dream occurred as Byrnes Irish Pub II opened at the new Brunswick Amtrak Station.
