🍀 Why we’re going early in Lent:
The closer it gets to Good Friday, the more packed it becomes — so we’re beating the crowds by going early!

After dinner, we’ll head into the Fifth Province Pub for live Irish music starting at 8:00 PM — always fantastic local bands (traditional + contemporary)!

We’ll arrive early to grab tables, eat together, then move to the pub area for music + cocktails.
