Welcome to the Blarney Stone, Anchorage’s premier Irish pub, dedicated to providing guests with an authentic Irish experience. The pub was rebranded and is reopening as the Blarney Stone in the same building and space as the once-successful McGinley’s. The interior has been completely remodeled, the food menu rejuvenated, and the ambition is to become the best Irish pub in Alaska.
The name, Blarney Stone, is inspired by the actual Blarney stone at the Blarney Castle in Ireland. The stone has been around for centuries and those who kiss it are said to be given the ability to speak with eloquence and persuasiveness, the true “gift of gab,” It’s a tradition that’s been passed down from generation to generation, and it’s something that we take to heart.
At the pub, we have our own Blarney stone which is said to give the same enchantments as the original. It’s a symbol of the commitment to providing guests with a truly authentic Irish experience. The Blarney Stone encourages everyone to come and try their luck with the stone!
Our menu features traditional Irish dishes and contemporary local Alaskan twists on classic favorites, all made with the freshest, locally sourced ingredients. There is an extensive selection of Irish whiskeys, beers, and cocktails, as well as a rotating selection of local brews, with an atmosphere that is is warm and inviting, with rich wood accents and cozy booths that will make guests feel like they’ve been transported straight to the Emerald Isle!
We are not just a pub, we are a community committed to providing guests with the best possible experience every time they walk through the doors. Live music, trivia nights, and other events keep guests entertained and engaged. Follow us on social media, or check the website often for the latest event and news from the Blarney Stone.
