We tend to stick to mass produced chain restaurants and small Mom and Pop joints.<\/p>\n<p>So when they brought a R\u00ed R\u00e1 down to Evansville, it was naturally going to stand out. It was great to have an authentic Irish pub in a town known for not branching out. The place was a success and the town really fell in love with the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>I had just moved back after college and figured this would be a great place to start job hunting. I went in to apply and was greeted by an Irish lady named Angela, who, I discovered, is one of the main Directors of the company. I was hired and the whirlwind began!<\/p>\n<p>Little did I know that I&#8217;d work in several different locations before moving out to open the Las Vegas pub, which is where I&#8217;ve been the past 5 1\/2 years. It has been great and very eye opening to work with so many Irish staff. I have learned so much from them and treasure my time with the J1ers, since they are only here on a year long Visa. The Irish staff out here are truly my family since I don\u2019t have any family out this way.
