  • Erin’s Isle Restaurant’s dining areas extend from the entrance past the bar and into the addition that was built in 1983, which looks out on to Collier Boulevard.
  • Sure and begorra, it’s a green roof sheltering Erin’s Isle Restaurant & Irish Pub located at 6190 Collier Blvd., and that’s Blarney Castle on the wall mural to the right of the entrance.
  • Erin’s Isle Restaurant’s gallery wall displays a quarter century’s worth of best restaurant awards, appreciation plaques for community involvement as well as letters of commendation and photos from notables and friends.
  • When Mike and John Ward opened Erin's Isle Restaurant and Irish Pub 25 years ago in December 1983, the now spacious multi-dining room restaurant wasn't much larger than the original bar area pictured here.
