The Irish American started as a simple idea, born from our love for both Irish and American traditions — and that’s exactly how our name came to be! We’re proud of our Irish roots and excited to bring a taste of Ireland to Mahopac, where everyone in the community can experience authentic Irish cuisine, culture, and warm hospitality.
At the same time, we embrace the American spirit — enjoying a Sunday football game with friends, relaxing with a cold beer, and sharing great moments together.

The Irish American was founded by Leona and Michael McFadden, a proud couple with deep roots in Ireland — Michael from County Donegal and Leona from County Down. They are passionate about keeping in touch with their Irish heritage and sharing it with the community in Mahopac.
Built with countless hours of dedication and a shared dream, The Irish American is more than just a restaurant; it’s a celebration of Irish culture and the American spirit. For us, it’s about living the American Dream and inviting everyone to be a part of it. We can’t wait to welcome you and share this special experience with all who walk through our doors.
