Celtic Concepts, a partnership of Brian Young and Colm O’Neill, is moving an authentic Irish pub from Midleton, County Cork, Ireland to The Woodlands Town Center, according to Dan Leverett, vice president, commercial for The Woodlands Development Company.

The partners, who own Brian O’Neill’s Restaurant and Irish Pub in Rice Village in Houston and eight other pubs in Texas, Colorado, Michigan and Ohio, purchased the contents of a pub called “The Goose’s Acre” located in Midleton, County Cork, Ireland. The bar and accoutrements are being shipped to a two-story, 7,400-square-foot retail space at 21 Waterway Avenue (pictured) on The Woodlands Waterway®, where they will recreate the authentic atmosphere, complete with a view of The Waterway from the outdoor patio.

According to Young, a big, open bay kitchen will be the main focus of the bistro, where a wood-fired pizza oven and rotisserie chicken display will present the menu specialties. Rotisserie chicken, grilled steaks, sandwiches, pub favorites, entrée salads and gourmet wood-fired pizza will be featured on the menu, which has been developed by a top corporate chef who spent four months in Italy studying Neapolitan pizza making. Desserts and a children’s menu will also be offered. A wide variety of beers, stouts, ales and an extensive wine and premium spirits selection will be featured in the pub.
