Our Story
In search of “the local”
MJ Byrne's Irish Pub
Almost 20 years on, MJ Byrne’s Irish Pub is indubitably as close to a genuine Irish pub experience that you are going to get without making the trek across the Atlantic.
Our goal is to share the uniquely Irish experience of having a local with all our patrons providing the best of both worlds: Ireland and everywhere else!
MJ Byrne
Hailing from the metropolis of Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow which is also known as the ‘Garden of Ireland’ and having worked in the bar industry in Ireland as a young fella, MJ travelled the globe for roughly 10 years before deciding to settle in Canada in 2000.
Having been invited to invest in the Blue Mountain Village Irish Pub in 2002, MJ took over the business in 2004, immediately dispensing with the notion that this was just another ‘Plastic Paddy’ pseudo Irish pub.
