Get ready to feel the luck of the Irish! ☘️🌈 Joy is hanging out at the iconic Finnegan's Wake to get the scoop on 20 years of Irish tradition in downtown Springfield. She chats with owner Clayton Baker about everything from their historic 1800s building to the "non-serious" trivia nights that have been running for nearly two decades. You'll hear all about their legendary St. Paddy's Day "Drunken Bruncheon," featuring 12-hour Guinness-braised corned beef and the massive "Full Finnegan" breakfast plate. It's the perfect way to kick off your spring festivities! 🍻✨🍳 Thanks to our sponsors, Fazoli's , Jimm's Steakhouse and Pub , and Kitchenland USA ! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
