Brought my girls to Salem to spread some of their mothers ashes on Mothers Day. She used to lead a camp on Winter Island. We made our way there and I told some stories. We headed into Salem proper to see about some witchcraft and candy. After 20 minutes trying to find a space to park, we pass ONeills. We found a spot up the street. I pointed out the pub as a place their mom would have loved (she may have already known it) and said we should eat there.
When we were finished shopping, we headed to the pub. A music circle was in full swing and we felt right at home. We were sat next to a family of five with young kids. Turns out the mom there was sisters with one of my wife's former campers! She explained ONeills was their local and where she met her husband.
My girls got up to do Irish Step and were welcomed with open arms. It was a great atmosphere, with caring staff, good food, and cold beer. I can't wait to get back.
