We all know that Kansas City has the best Irish Fest in the world. But did you also know that we have the oldest Irish business outside Ireland? And that the oldest building in Kansas City is home to the most revered Irish pub in town? Come meet Kerry Browne and Kyle Kelly, proprietors of Browne’s Irish Market and Kelly’s Westport Inn respectively, and hear the histories, legends and stories behind these two landmark local institutions. Pat O’Neill, an institution himself, will be on hand to keep the conversation moving.
