From your implausibly comfortable wooden stool, you crunch through the flaky gold of your beer-battered cod and chips. As you exchange semi-truthful yarns with fellow colorful characters, your fingers trace the familiar curves of the absolutely most perfectly-poured pint of Guinness your weary eyes have ever seen. And your anxious tongue has ever touched.

Ahhh, it's good to be in this place. Though somewhat surprising that you're not nestled beside the windswept mountains of Mourne, but perched atop the brick-lined walkways of Pratt Street. Welcome to Vaughan's Public House. Real Irish in the heart of Hartford.

Vaughan's Public House is smoked salmon, tender corned beef and Glenkerry potatoes. It's homemade Irish cream, signature Irish coffees, the finest single malts and dozens of memorable ways to fill a pint glass. It's authentic hand crafted furniture and décor, literally hand-carried across the pond. It's a place where you feel right at home. And if you feel like you're in Ireland, cear fo leor (that's great) because we want you to.

Vaughan's promises true Irish warmth and hospitality all day, every day. Wander in sometime for lunch, dinner, after-dinner drinks, pre-show pints or just because. Sit. Stay. Stay some more. You may not ever want to leave. And we really don't want you to.  Because, at Vaughan's today can wait till tomorrow... and tomorrow can wait till some time next week.

Open Sunday through Thursday, 11:30 am to 1 am
Open food Friday and Saturday 11:30 am to 2 am
Late-night menu available!
