Kerryman’s speakeasy bar namedin America’s top 10 bar destinations

A KERRYMAN who emigrated to San Francisco in the 1990s had his novel new cocktail bar voted one of America’s top 10 pub destinations.

Brian Sheehy, 37, who grew up on a small farm in Annascaul, Co Kerry, has recreated a 1920s speakeasy — complete with a hidden location in a dodgy part of town where customers must whisper a password to gain entry.

His Bourbon and Branch tavern has become one of the hottest nightspots in San Francisco and was named among the top 10 bars in America by Esquire magazine.
