"The Gorgeous Gael, a longstanding Rice Village Irish pub has officially shuttered. A announcement posted to the restaurant’s Facebook page indicates that the establishment would close on Sunday, September 30, citing “unforeseen circumstances that are not within our influence or control.” The pub had been located in Rice Village for nearly two decades, previously known as Brian O’Neill’s before rebranding four years ago to its latest iteration. The overhaul included a complete menu revamp to more elevated fare, plus an interior renovation to move away from the dark interiors ubiquitous in many Irish pubs." - Alaena Hostetter
