At new Irish pub in Farragut, even the Guinness is poured right

Great news for those who enjoy a nice cold Guinness and a fun Irish pub vibe. New on the scene in Farragut is Dullahan’s Irish Pub at 12744 Kingston Pike.

Owned by best friends William Camp and Ben Harmon, this dynamic duo has also bought Finn’s Restaurant & Tavern at 9000 Kingston Pike barely a month after opening Dullahan’s.

They met in the food industry about 10 years ago and remained good friends even though Camp left the industry for a sales job that took him on the road. Camp, a new dad, decided to invest in Dullahan’s with Harmon to bring good Irish fun and authentic Irish food to Farragut while staying home to never miss a milestone with his new baby.

The menu at Dullahan’s Irish Pub features entrees such as chicken Kiev filled with Irish herb butter and served on a bed of pomme puree (mashed potatoes).

“The community desperately needed an Irish pub,” Camp said. “You can get burgers, but there was nowhere to get authentic bangers and mash or fish and chips.

“The offerings, the décor, the food, the service — even how we pour a Guinness — we wanted to get it right …  and I think we have.

“Dullahan’s has about 76 seats and features fun such as live music, trivia night, karaoke and the occasional impromptu Irish ditty sing-along,” said Camp.

Dullahan’s is open from 11 a.m. to midnight and “it’s just a fun time every day, especially trivia on Tuesdays,” added Harmon.

A must-have Irish staple at Dullahan’s is the chicken Kiev filled with Irish herb butter and served on a bed of pomme puree (silky smooth mashed potatoes).

New owners acquire Finn’s

Located in the old Baker Peters house, Finn’s is said to be haunted by Abner Baker, the son of Confederate supporter Dr. James Harvey Baker, who built the house in 1830.

If the ghostly rumors are true, the Green Room is Abner Baker’s bedroom, where it’s said the lights flicker and the temperature turns cool on a whim.

Harmon and Camp plan to keep the tavern as is while adding a few new attractions such as a Bloody Mary bar.

William Camp and Ben Harmon are well-versed on the alleged ghostly goings on by Abner Baker at Finn’s Restaurant and Tavern at 9000 Kingston Pike.

Finn’s opens daily at 4 p.m. and stays open to midnight or as late at 1 a.m. on the weekends.

“You know, the great thing about both pubs is people come in as strangers and leave as friends,” said Harmon.

Things came together rather easily within a month for the pair to own Dullahan’s and Finn’s. Even the Beer Board was behind adding some Irish flair and entertainment to the area.

Said both owners, “It’s a God thing.”
