🍀 EXCLUSIVE Sneak peek alert! We got an early look at in , and trust us—this place is going to feel like it’s always been here.
Opening soon on North Davidson in the former Roy’s space, McHale’s is a revival of the beloved Rock Hill/Fort Mill pub that ran for 23 years, now brought to life in NoDa by neighborhood locals Brendan Kuhlkin and Kyle Kennedy. Named for Brendan’s mother, it’s a passion project with heart, heritage, and a whole lot of Irish soul.
But this isn’t just a bar—it’s meant to be a true neighborhood pub. A place to gather, connect, and unwind. Not just for nights out, but for everyday moments too.
What to expect:
🍻 8 beers on tap (4 local, 4 Irish)
🥃 A growing Irish whiskey list (flights may be on the way)
🇮🇪 Irish bartenders and an Irish bar manager
🍽️ Traditional dishes like Fish & Chips, Shepherd’s Pie, a few Irish Hidden Gems + American favorites (but no pizza … yet)
✨ Indoor & outdoor bars
And the vibe? Timeless.
Think: dark-stained millwork, vintage wallpaper, hand-troweled plaster, warm lighting, and a cozy dining room with double-hung windows that open to the street on nice days. It’s intimate, familiar, and thoughtfully designed to feel like it’s always belonged.
We’re so ready to make this a regular stop—and not just on the weekends.
McHale’s hopes to be open early this summer!
