Auld Shebeen Pub - The Real McCoy
For a trip to Ireland without crossing the Atlantic, stop by the Hanover Marriott and visit The Auld Shebeen, New Jersey’s most authentic Irish pub. Walk through our doors and you’ll immediately be welcomed in a warm, friendly environment that exudes the old-world charm Irish pubs have made famous the world over. What makes us so unique? We’ve done the traveling for you— The Auld Shebeen is actually a genuine Irish pub built in Ireland and reassembled at the hotel right down to the oak flooring.

Welcome, or fáilte as the Irish would say. Inspired by the old Irish speakeasies of times past, The Auld Shebeen takes authenticity to the next level. Constructed in Belfast, Ireland and reassembled right here, our charming pub features details like wood paneling and a fireplace from the library of an old mansion in Belfast, a whisky still from an 18th century shebeen outside Dublin, church kneelers from a seminary college in Dublin, and 200 year-old pine flooring in the raised bar area from Stormont Castle. It’s these details—as well as the traditional, hearty Irish pub fare and famed whiskies, ales, and beers—that make The Auld Shebeen much more than your average neighborhood pub. It’s where you get a free side of history with the good food and company you enjoy.
