Leave South Texas behind and enter the Irish land of Cassidy’s Irish Pub, where the dimly lit atmosphere, dark wooden walls, and brass wall hangings give the feel of 100% Irish authenticity. Cassidy's provides a good selection of spirits and beer with Guinness on draft, so ask the bartender to pull one out of the tap with a white, foamy top. While you're relishing your delicious drink, relax and enjoy the local and regional live music offered every week.
