The Irishmen Restaurant and Pub was named after the Society of United Irishmen, which was founded in Belfast, Ireland, in a pub called Kelly Cellars in 1791.

Belfast is near and dear to our hearts, and so is what the United Irishmen fought for all those years ago. The United Irishmen believed in a peaceful Ireland for all Irish people, and brought both Protestants and Catholics together for one united cause, a United Ireland.
