"This newer addition to the D.C. Irish pub scene is one of the more laid-back, casual options in the Wharf development. The owners also run Samuel Beckett’s Irish Gastro Pub In Arlington. Kirwan’s is the centerpiece of this weekend’s Ireland at The Wharf festival (Saturday, March 16), complete with Irish dance performances, Celtic rock bands, Six Nations Rugby (Ireland vs. Scotland) aired on the big screen, and Guinness beer garden on District and Transit Pier from noon to 6 p.m." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick
