Looking for traditional Irish fare to celebrate St Patrick’s Day? The Copper Kettle’s got it!!

We love Ireland & Irish food. Every year we offer a couple of our favorite dishes that we enjoyed during our time there.

If you’re out for the stereotypical American perception of St Patrick’s Day, & looking for a place to have corned beef & cabbage or green beer, we’re not that place. 😜

We will have Beef in Guinness Stew and Irish Stew available for dine in & carry out today & tomorrow (Friday & Saturday). Call or order online at the link below for carry out! 🍀

After a catering drop off this afternoon, we have decided to stay closed again this evening (after seeing a semi jack-knifed on south 9th street). Most of our employees are college students, and do not have reliable transportation to get to & from work in these conditions.

This is obviously not something we like to do, but the safety of our staff & customers is more important to us.

Stay safe & warm tonight! It’s going to be a cold one! ❄️🥶

11/23/2023

We will be closed today, so our staff can spend the holiday with their families. We are so thankful for your continued support over the years! We definitely have a lot to be thankful for! !
