The session, held every first and third Wednesday in the month, will last from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. and is open to Irish or Scottish folk musicians or listening ears.

House brews, ice cream and Italian sodas aside, the café serves up a variety of sandwich and salad offerings including gyros, grilled pimento paninis and SG Club, according to the website.

The Irish Pub

Patrick Linnane, a native of Galway, Ireland, and owner of Greenville’s The Irish Pub and Kitchen, will serve up a taste of his home country with a St. Patrick’s Day bash starting at 11 a.m. on Thursday. Bagpipers and Irish dancers will put on a performance, followed by local rockers The Barley Boys from 7 p.m. until 11 p.m.

The pub kitchen will be open from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. with Shepherd’s Pie, fish and chips, Guinness beer brat and curry chips — or fries, if you will — just a few items on the menu.

Linnane and kitchen chef Lisa Linnane will also sell St. Patrick’s Day T-shirts for $25 in support of American Red Cross Ukraine, according to the pub website.
