O’Malley’s Irish Pub in Weston, Missouri, is hidden almost 60 feet underground in the cellars of what was, in the19th century, the Weston Brewing Company. The space has functioned as brewery on and off since its 1842 inception and though it was forced to close when Prohibition was signed into law, the brewery was reopened for a short stint in the late 1990s.

Current owners Michael Coakley and Corey Weinfurt brought the brewery back to its former glory after they purchased the property in 2005. While the modern brewing operations needed to be moved next door, the duo chose to maintain the restaurant in the main house, as well the underground pub space, both of which the former owners, the O’Malley family, had opened in the late 1970s and the 1980s respectively.

Today visitors are able to tour one of the historic log ring cellars while sipping on house ale piped directly from the brewery in a refrigerated line. The limestone walls of the pub are decorated with flags, historic beer and liquor ads, and a chalkboard listing the night’s musical lineup. Outfitted with two stages, O’Malley’s invites Irish acts to serenade visitors into the wee hours (okay, midnight) on Friday, Saturday, and until 9 p.m. on Sunday nights.
