Chain Leader

The FIRKIN Group of Pubs

The Firkin Group of Pubs is the largest & most dominant English Pub chain in North America...sure to become "Everyone's Neighborhood Pub!"

THE CONCEPT
The Firkin Group of Pubs is a full-service restaurant and pub serving lunch, dinner, brunch and late-night fare. A welcoming place to meet friends for a pint, some fine food and a good time.

"Every Firkin Pub's a little bit different, but one's just right for you."
Modeled after a traditional English pub, each Firkin is unique to its neighborhood, and carries a name of a familiar mascot paired with the Firkin, such as 'The Firkin & Fox' in Albany NY, or the 'Firkin & Hound' in South Riding, VA.

The Firkin Brand is cheeky and irreverent and appeals to a broad base of consumers! For over 20 years, Firkin Pub's founders, franchisees, and followers have been creating the authentic English Pub Experience.
