Fenians is an Irish pub-style bar. Featuring a fare of traditional Irish food--with a kitchen open til midnight on weekends--and a variety of beers including Guinness and Harp on tap, Fenian’s provides a great neighborhood pub feel for locals and travelers. Free music is available on just about every night, with Thursday nights being reserved for traditional Irish/Celtic music. Ages 18+ most of the time, but anyone is welcome until 9:30 p.m., and families are encouraged to bring children to Irish nights.
What Entertainment to Expect
Monday nights Fenian’s hosts their karaoke night voted first place two years running in the Jackson Free Press Best of readers poll. This karaoke night rises above the rest because of the diversity, involvement, and support of the audience.
Tuesday nights is open mic night. The list begins at 4:30 p.m., so call early and get your name on the list...it fills up quick. The Fenian’s open mic is incredibly diverse with acoustic singer/songwriters, comedians, rock bands, and the occasional poet. Anything goes and the audience is receptive.
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are live music from local and regional acts. Everything from bluegrass to rock, gypsy jazz to folk - you’ll see it here at one of the most intimate venues in Jackson.
Thursday night is Irish night with world-class Celtic and traditional Irish music and dancing. Enjoy with a fresh draft Guiness!
Sundays see the occassional Ceili, an Irish event for the whole family during the afternoon hours. Keep an eye on our website for times.
Specialty Dishes
Fenian’s is the only place in town to get a traditional Irish boxty. A boxty is a potato pancake filled with a hearty meal and often topped with additional fixin’s. Try their Chili Cheese Boxty or their Irish Stew Boxty. For veggie lovers, the Vegetable Boxty satisfies with a mixture of sauteed mushrooms, bell pepper, tomatoes, black olives and more with provolone cheese and topped with marinara sauce. Delicious!
