The Burren Public House
Woodlawn · The Bronx · Katonah Avenue

An Irish pub built for music, culture, and the arts.

Trad sessions on Wednesday, folk jazz in the Tea Room on Sunday, Friday fish & chips that a Bronx local will drive past three closer pubs to get to. The Tea Room turns into a poetry reading, a céilí, a book launch, or a goth night depending on the week.

Woodlawn Open Mic

Posted on Instagram
Music, poetry, comedy, stories. Open to anyone from Woodlawn or the wider Bronx.

A neighborhood room with a wider reach.

The Burren sits on Katonah Avenue in Woodlawn, the strip of the Bronx that has been Irish for longer than most people in New York have been paying attention. Same building locals knew as Keane's Bar. Same kitchen staff, broader ambition.

The food leans Irish without being a museum about it. A serious shepherd's pie. A full Irish breakfast with rashers, black and white pudding, soda bread, and a brunch curry chicken that people drive in for from Westchester. Pizza menu runs Vodka, Irish Breakfast, and Black Pudding. Wings, burgers, a Jameson steak sandwich, all the things a Bronx pub should know how to do.

A unique bar and premier destination for music, culture, and the arts in NYC.

The programming is what separates us from the other Irish pubs on Katonah. A weekly trad seisiun. A folk jazz residency in The Tea Room. World Irish concert nights, Irish-language classes, céilís with the local CCE branch, book events, gallery nights, the occasional goth party. Bronx Irish, in every sense of both words.
