"Welcome to the Old Oar House Irish Pub"
Our upscale Irish style pub is sure to satisfy the most discriminating tastes. This original three-story building built circa 1883 is a painstaking reconstruction of Philadelphia pubs built in the Irish tradition. A first class establishment that mixes the ambiance and charm of an old style, dimly lit Irish pub with big city amenities. The atmosphere carries over behind the custom wrap-around bar where 16 beers (including Harp, Guinness and Flying Fish) compete with a rugged collection of drinking man's whiskeys. The special brewed "Old Oar House Ale" is also a favorite. Our fenced-in outside beer garden is sure to accommodate your seasonal dining, drinking and smoking pleasures.
It is a place where you want to become a regular.
It is a meeting place where you can eat, drink, dance and have good craic. The local pub that everybody knows.

Downtown Millville was a depressed area with investors reluctant to venture in its development. With the advent and subsequent booming business of "The Old Oar House Irish Pub", investment was sparked. Other investors began to see the potential in this now downtown area. Major redevelopment has occurred in the past several years; establishing the scenic Riverfront and Downtown areas into an artists' haven including many studios, shops and restaurants. Older abandoned buildings have been restored with continued major development on the horizon.
The "Old Oar House Irish Pub" has brought people back to downtown Millville. People now have a sense of a downtown center. Despite its name, "The Old Oar House Brewery", the establishment is also a major restaurant in the City. A mere 40 miles from Atlantic City and 45 miles from Philadelphia with both areas giving 'The Old Oar House' rave reviews (as seen in a recent Atlantic City Press article).
The "Old Oar House Irish Pub's" President has also served as Director of the local Chamber of Commerce and as Executive Director of the Millville Development Corporation. In both capacities, he has advocated the development of downtown Millville and has ultimately "put his money where his mouth is" with this major investment.
The success of the establishment has been astounding where most weekend nights it is nearly impossible to find standing room. The pub food is generous and appetizing. The daily lunch and dinner specials appeal to the most epicurean of tastes. Thank you "Old Oar House Irish Pub".
