History

The story of O'Bryan's Nine Irish Brothers begins 30 years ago, when the founder and principal owner, Jerry O'Bryan, opened the Hairman, a local styling salon that has since become a campus icon. Jerry told his wife, Jan, that if the hair business didn't work out, he wanted to open an Irish pub. The hair business did end up working out, but thirty years, two children and a grandchild later, Jerry finally decided it was time to realize his dream, an authentic Irish pub serving traditional Irish fare, Guinness by the pint, and featuring live music and the friendly, up-beat atmosphere typical of Irish pubs world-wide. Nine Irish Brothers is family-owned, family-designed-and-built, and family-run. Over the course of several trips to Ireland, they've been able to hand-pick the furniture and decor.

Specialties

Nine Irish Brothers specializes in being the place in Greater Lafayette to eat, drink, and be merry. Good food made from fresh, quality ingredients, Irish beers poured from a state-of-the-art draught system, and Indiana's largest selection of Irish whiskeys are a good start. Great wine selection, full bar, and knowledgeable, friendly staff are the tip of the iceberg. Always fun, Nine Irish Brothers features free live entertainment on the weekends, from traditional music sessions to nationally-known Celtic rock bands.

My wife figured this one out after visiting a niece for pre-game band rally at Purdue. We got to Nine Irish Brothers while only 3-4 tables were occupied. The feel of the inside is like what you'd...

Greetings! There are places that try to pass themselves off as Irish-themed pubs, then there are places that earn that flex because they are legit dyed-in-the-wool Irish establishments. Nine...
