The Holy Grail

Voted the best Irish pub in New Hampshire for the past 10 years, the The Holy Grail was the venue for my soccer team’s celebration party yesterday after winning the OTHSL D1 championship. Located in Epping, NH in the same basic structure as the former St. Joseph’s Church built in 1895 it has been transformed into a true Irish pub. The proprietors are David and Maureen Kennedy whose families are from County Tipperary and County Galway, Ireland respectively. We dined in the “Choir Loft” which overlooks the main bar, Irish village mural on the altar wall and offers views of the building’s original stained glass windows. Pictured above is the life-size statue of a monk which greats you as you enter the pub.
