Nourishment for body and soul

Whatever you’re craving can be found in Gwinnett.

There’s nothing better than a great dining experience. Whether you’re an acknowledged foodie looking for the latest hot spot or a busy parent with a need for a family-friendly restaurant, you want great food in the perfect environment for you.

If you’re looking for something truly unique, consider one of Gwinnett’s newest options – Daddy O’Brien’s Irish Ice Cream Pub, featuring a new trend – alcohol-infused ice cream.

Daddy O’Brien’s Irish Ice Cream Pub is the restaurant Daddy O and Lori O’Brien never intended to open. For more than 20 years, the O’Brien’s had been focused on their corporate event business, Atlanta Special Events.

Then Daddy O began experimenting – and winning awards — with homemade ice cream and alcohol-infused recipes. “We had a couple of carts that we took to events and festivals,” says Lori. “But after one bite of our ice cream, everyone said the same thing – Where’s your
store?”

It took two years to develop the concept, find the right location, create the menu and select just the right flavors, all leading to the January 2017 opening at 5910 Suwanee Dam Road in Sugar Hill.

“This is a place for all ages,” says Lori. “We’ve combined the adult concept of an Irish pub with a family environment, our amazing homemade ice cream and a distinctive menu.”

Guests will find all the elements of an Irish pub – stained glass, a wooden bar, whisky barrel table tops and the traditional Irish “snugs” — booths with church pew seating and high sides for privacy. Plus, there’s a St. Patrick’s Day Celebration on the 17th of every month.

Menu favorites include homemade soups, like Guinness Irish Stew and New England Clam Chowder, specialty sandwiches, and Lori’s homemade Irish soda bread. And then there’s the ice cream, including Butter Beer, the 2016 Best Flavor of the Year from the National Ice Cream Retailers, and Chocolate OMG. For those looking for a “little kick with their lick,” there’s Kentucky Salted Caramel with Maker’s Mark and Drunken Oreo.

“We’ve quickly become a destination,” reports Lori. “If you come once, you’ll be back.”
