The Huske Hardware Restaurant and Brewery has been a landmark for more than 20 years. The structure itself has a 115-year history! The building is included in the National Register of Historic Places. Over time, the basic brick structure from the Victorian era was expanded. This made room for the expanding company. It increased in height by one more story and westward by three storefronts.
The structure had a number of businesses between 1970 and 1996. However, Dr. William Baggett rebuilt the east side in 1996. This was to produce the present-day restaurant and brewery.

Wynn Davis and Hall Johnston, the company's founders, had the idea for Mac's Speed Shop. The two guys enjoyed bikes, beer, and BBQ but had no experience managing a restaurant.

So I know you must be wondering how an Irish pub ended up in Fayetteville, NC.
As an exchange student, Patrick Gibney relocated from Dublin, Ireland to Fayetteville, NC. This took place in 1987. One of the first things he saw was a sign on the outside wall of a nearby bar named "Nashville Station." That sign said, "Free Shag Lessons." When Patrick went to partake in the fun, he was disappointed to see that there was no "shagging" at all. Some sort of dance club was there.
He was sorely disappointed but resolved to come back and establish an Irish pub there in the future. In February 2007, twenty years later, he finally did.
Paddy's had a thorough renovation and expansion in 2016 to incorporate The Church. This is a cutting-edge lounge and event space.
Paddy's defies conventional thinking with a sense of humor and a modern Irish flair. All while preserving the time-honored heritage of:

After getting accepted to ECU, I started looking for things to do in and around Greenville, NC. However, my searches kept taking me to places in South Carolina! There must be things to do around ECU, so I started asking other students. They kept telling me to graduate and move away! This inspired me to begin exploring eastern North Carolina and build this website as a showcase of the places to go, sights to see, and things to do all over eastern NC. I have fallen in love with this region and started taking up roots here. After graduating, I didn't move away - I bought a house here and continue to explore eastern North Carolina.
