You’re Very Welcome Here
You're very welcome here. Discover the spirit of a traditional Irish village pub in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
MORE THAN A PUB. A MEETING PLACE
In Ireland, the pub is far more than somewhere to have a drink. It is the anchor of the community—a place where neighbors gather, matches are watched, and stories are told and retold. Created by Eamonn and Gill Nestor, The Emerald Oak was built to bring that exact spirit to our new home in Kalamazoo.
Part of the Auld Ned’s Hospitality vision, we are not a themed bar. We are a real Irish pub experience run by an Irish family. Whether you are stopping in for a pint of Guinness, enjoying a hearty meal with family, or settling in to watch the match, our hope is simple: that this place feels like your local. Because the best pubs aren't just about what's on the menu—they are about the people inside them.
