Beckett’s is a locally owned and operated Irish Pub and Restaurant whose name was chosen to pay homage to one of Ireland’s most talented and influential writers. Samuel Beckett was known for his searing wit and his cynical nature and is often misunderstood as being overly dark in his writings. While it would be a mistake to consider Beckett a “sunny” soul, his cynicism is used to pierce the veil of societal and governmental constraints and in turn celebrate creativity and the triumph of the human spirit over such institutions.

As with Samuel, at Beckett’s we strive to break the mold of the typical restaurant and celebrate culinary creativity by making everything from scratch (even the mayonnaise!) and printing our menus daily to take advantage of seasonal produce, seafood, and meat – and to satisfy our artistic side by creating new dishes.

The same attention to detail that we have concerning our food is also extended to our draft beer. Our selection consists of eight import and craft beers, many of which can only be found at Beckett’s. With the myriad of styles of beer available on tap nowadays, it has necessitated pubs running their drafts with nitrogen and carbon dioxide that is bought premixed in large tanks. This mixture while functional for stouts, ales, and lagers, does not pour all of them at their ideal mixture for the best quality. As it is our goal to pour the best pint in town, we invested in a splitter that takes bulk nitrogen and carbon dioxide and specifies the optimum mix for stouts, ales, and lagers. Come by and grab a cold one – you’ll notice the difference!

When creating the concept for Beckett’s our frame of reference was to be able to provide the appropriate food and drink no matter your occasion or mood. Whether you want to catch the game and have a pint and a sandwich, warm up with a Shepherd’s Pie on a cold winter’s night, or enjoy a romantic dinner with your loved one, Beckett’s is the place to be!
