The Irish House, a St Charles Avenue Irish gastropub from acclaimed Irish chef Matt Murphy, is closing its doors tonight. The building and the business are both for sale.

The following note was posted on the restaurant’s Facebook page this morning:

It is with sad hearts and sincere regret that we announce that The Irish House will be closing the doors on Wednesday, May 31, 2017. It has been our pleasure to serve you and to be a part of your lives and of the New Orleans community. We have loved celebrating your birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and weddings. We cherish the relationships that were built over a pint, a meal or a song. We wish the best to our guests, employees, friends and family. The building and business are for sale. If someone purchases it, we hope that they will continue the warm and welcome Irish hospitality that The Irish House has been known for. Thank you and sláinte agus beannacht leat.

The Irish House opened in 2011.
