About The Auld Shebeen
"The Spirit of The Shebeen is in Fairfax"
The Auld Shebeen, in Fairfax, Virginia, is only 20 miles from Washington DC and Alexandria, Virginia and 10 miles from Tysons Corner. Once inside, you're instantly transformed to Ireland; enjoying our warm Irish hospitality, traditional Irish fare and well-stocked bar.
Owners Mick Boyle and Dominic Keane established The Auld Shebeen in 2004. Changing with the times and the blossoming City of Fairfax, Mick and Dominic love being a part of the growth and charm of the Fairfax community. You're bound to see one or both of them on any given day at the pub. You can't miss the Irish accents and expressions that are just a bit of what brings the Emerald Isle to Fairfax.
The Auld Shebeen is Fairfax City's only authentic Irish Pub and Restaurant. Our menu combines traditional Irish recipes and American cuisines. We offer many Traditional Irish dishes such as Fish and Chips, Shepherd's Pie, and our signature Guinness Beef Stew, as well as many house specialties.
In Ireland, a Shebeen was an after-hours speakeasy where once inside, you would find good familiar conversation, friends, food, and drink. Fascinating history surrounds these pubs, and will forever be a part of Irish lore.
