Did we mention there will be Guinness?

Guinness will pair wonderfully with the Irish style cuisine provided by Kildare's (think Shepard's Pie, Guinness Stew, etc.).  Stop by and enjoy a pint while you watch the live entertainment.  See you later today!

Come for the films, stay for the events...or come for the events, stay for the films!
