PLAINS TWP. — A bit o’ the Irish is coming to Mohegan Sun Pocono.

An all-new new Irish pub and eatery — Molly O’Sheas — is set to open in the winter of 2018, near the main valet entrance of the casino. Somerville Construction, of Forty Fort, has already started work on the project.

The venue will feature authentic Irish décor, a delicious dining menu, live weekend entertainment and one of the best beer and whiskey menus to be found in the region, according to Erica Tessier, vice president of marketing for Mohegan Sun Pocono.

“We’re beyond thrilled to open this new location inside Mohegan Sun Pocono for our guests,” Tessier said in a press release. “The nightlife at our property already has fantastic stops like Breakers and Bar Louie, and to now round it out with Molly O’Sheas is very exciting. We think it will quickly become a popular stop for friends and family to enjoy great company, food, drinks and service.”

Some of the beer menu highlights include: Guinness, Smithwick’s, Harp, Strongbow Hard Cider and Killian’s Irish Red. And for whiskey lovers, Molly O’Sheas will have everything from Jameson to Tullamore Dew. In addition, beer flights and whiskey flights will be available.

On the eatery side, the pub will serve up comfort appetizers and entrees: Irish nachos, homemade chips, shepherd’s pie, bangers and mash, reubens and a variety of sliders.

Hours will be Mondays through Thursdays, 4 p.m. to midnight; Fridays, 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.; Saturdays, noon to 2 a.m.; and Sundays, noon to midnight.
