In 1987, Jack O'Hare's dream of owning a pub became a reality. Together, Jack and his wife, Jane, worked hard to bring a piece of Jack’s homeland, Ireland, to his new home, Richmond.
After its opening, O’Hare’s became the first pub in British Columbia to serve Guinness imported straight from Dublin.
After years of dedication, Jack and Jane have retired, passing the business on to the next generation of the O'Hare family. Their daughter, Erinn, and son-in-law, Grant, are now maintaining the legacy of O’Hare’s, serving a new generation of Richmondites.
