Irish Blessing

"May the road rise to meet you, may the wind always be at your back, may the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand."

In 1985, Jim Mellody dreamed up the idea of a neighborhood pub where friends and families could gather to enjoy good food and sports in a comfortable friendly atmosphere.Together, with his wife Jeanette, they embellished the Brady family name to arrive at the unlikely, yet likable name Beef‘O’Brady’s.® Regulars affectionately nicknamed it “Beef’s.”

His love of sports inspired him to offer as many games as possible to his customers, so he invested in TVs and satellite dishes. He covered the walls with authentic sports memorabilia he collected. And graced his menu with an Irish Blessing that symbolized the Irish tradition of happy times.

He dressed his tender chicken wings with a tasty sauce he fashioned from his own recipe, tirelessly tinkering in the kitchen until he got it just right. Today, there are Beefs popping up all over Florida and the southeast. Call it the “Luck of the Irish,”with one good dream and a lot of hard work thrown in.
